Kobo,as I wrote,"Another personal opinion" and a quote from your open letter link above,which ends with the words :
"To the rest, give the Youngman space. Attack his ideologies and leave his personal life out. After all if a hungry man says he’s eaten a cow a minute ago, who is he fooling? As the Mandinka proverb say “fang juu neneh”. Last but not the least, my apology if I have hurt any feelings but remember the donkey stories. Peace to you all.

A Concerned Gambian. "

Nothing further to add really.


"Simple is good" & I strongly dislike politics. You cannot defend the indefensible.

Tribe, Cast and Ethnicity
Tribe, Cast and Ethnicity are not just inappropriate but also inadequate terms that cannot describe
the dimension and extensiveness of our social relations, hence they stem from the English language.
They are terms use to explain the unknown, that is why they are perceived offensive.
They are offensive because of their stigmatic inclinations and stereotypical implications.

Understand me well, am not saying the English language is inappropriate but that we should be mindful to use these terms in describing our social relations. Hence these terms are very superficial and do not uncover the complexity of our social relations.
