• "I decided to come up with my own agenda to react to the new so called OGIS newly elected board."


• "What happened on sunday 28th of april at the Censor meeting affected me so much, and I promised myself not to let this injustice act happen again without reacting."


• "The OGIS president, Mariam Cole, is a young woman and very talented with all her characters. She is being discriminated from a special group just for very simple reasons - because she is a youth, she is a woman and she comes from a small decent family. If President Yam was a man, like myself Demba, and some people wanted to humiliate me and my family in front of the Gambian public like what happened on that faithful day, I would have overreacted, and lord knows how many souls would lie down and how many police and ambulances would come. They put this little girl on the defensive. Poor Yam had to sit and see how Gambians can be very poisonous to each other. She saw a picture of Gambians that she never knew or had witnessed before, the very reason why we Gambians are backward people. All the independent people that were present at the meeting have witnessed a coup d’état against a very descent elected OGIS commitee."


• "The elected OGIS commitee is being overthrown because of a special angry group that want to take over the commitee. This angry special group can’t wait for a period of time written on the laws of the organisation. Instead, they started spreading rumours acusing president Yam and her volunteering mum to have stole money from OGIS’ bank account, and other hate messages. All the allegations are false, and justice won at the meeting in front of the people that want to know the truth. The decent people present at the meeting were shocked and disappointed, because the meeting turned into being a slaughter house. Peoples behaviour at that very meeting was a sign of frustration, amateurish and reflecting mirror of how much we hate each other."


• "The future of the Gambian youths living in Stockholm is at a dilemma. After this meeting, how many Gambian parents will let their children join such an organisation called OGIS? OGIS is one of the oldest foreigner organisations in Sweden. The organisation was founded by Gambian pioneers for a very simple reason, to help all Gambians living in Sweden to come together and meet and help each other when needed. To hear all the stories of this old organisation is very unwelcoming in the hearts of the Gambian children living in Sweden.
  
  OGIS is very easy to form, make a coup d’état and then rise to the top. All you need is to mobilise a little group of people and start spreading rumours and lies to the ones you have old scores with.
  
  Organise a meeting and then elect yourself with cheap votes. Volunteering is a free of charge job that is chosen by an individual. So if OGIS is a non profit organisation, then what is the purpose of fighting each other? A friend of mine asked me..."


• "I feel like I’m the most coward Gambian ever, just because I sat down and watched a family being discriminated against. I feel so bad and down for not reacting at that special time. If I feel this way after days, then imagine the family of president Yam. I promised myself never to let this happen again. So I decided to take action now and make a coup d’état with my own group. I’m going to organise a OGIS cultural week this summer, and every occasion will be free entry. Anyone who wants to volunteer is welcome."
