Sweet face, looked innocence, but dangerous, very dangerous person, don't look at the quite people and u think they are the best people in the world, this are the type of people that can destroy yr life, killed u and come in yr funeral and eat all the ''Benachin'' they cook and laughing at u behind.
Was a man that i love, trust and believed in him, my late uncle introduce us together, since then, we loves him and hold him as a really family, it's seen to be funny huh? with me, i used to tell him all about me, he knew me more than any other. perhaps something happens to me here, he will be the frist person i call, It happens that money gets between us today, (5000euros) Money Money Money.
As i got this money with me, i don't wanna use it, b'cos it was for my Land in the Gambia, i called him and my uncle who lives at London, to asked if they didn't see anybody going to the Gambia to give that money to take it for me before i used it here, he asked me to gave him the money, he see somebody very SAVE, he give the money to take it for me in the Gambia, and i told him that my uncle told me that he will be coming to take it here, b'cos one of his friends are about to go to the Gambia, and he told me that is not necessary for my uncle come from London just to take that money, let me give it to him, he will see someone SAVE going, i trust him, then took it to him, nobody was there, i, him and God. Today he don't wanna give me my money, i saw someone going to the Gambia, i asked him, he said i didn't give him anything, i was suck, i prefer he tell me some else, that could make me feel better, he could have kill me, at the first time, i though he was joking and couldn't believed what he said to me, b'cos i was not expecting such type of things from him, he was very kind, and even once he took for me about 1200euros to my uncle in London, maybe was waiting for the bigger money, i called some Gambian friends, i knew from him to help me, they told me, maybe he is joking, he is not that type, after they called him and he told them that, i didn't give him anything, they told me that they can't help me b'cos he said i didn't give him nothing, maybe he he said yes, but he used it, that they can try to do something, he told them that i just want to spoil his name, i was crying here, b'cos i cannot believe what they telling me, that he said it, and i called him almost everyday, i told him that i'll called his family to tell them, and he said if i want i can even called Yahya Jammeh, nobody can't do nothing for him, i told him i don't have witness, but God was witness, he said at some things, he could be unbelief to God, and let me leave him with God then as He is my witness, i though i was dreaming, b'cos he's a type of man that i love only b'cos he always pray and talking about God, and he did this and saying such a thing, i couldn't believed what coming on me.
Some people told me that, he loves me and the only way i should do is to accepted him, until i get back my money, i tried to sent him sweet words, just to get back my 5000euros, but was more bad, he told me that do whatever u want and i do what i want, then we will see, LOL He is really a criminal, let all of us be careful with these kind of people.
Other Gambians in Europe and any other African countries, Please lets try and be together and help each other here, not to do something like this, money and material can make people to do what they suppose not to do or what are not even them, We all don't leave here, one find day, we will go back to Gambia or will may die here, how about in the gambia, others looking at u as a criminal, or yr families, So that's Y we have to be very careful and know that we the Gambians are one, If i don't trust my Gambian brothers or sisters, whom should i trust here? Please know that God is everywhere.
Sorry for any mistakes

Not sure if i understnad this
did she give him money for someone else, like a "bank", but the money was not transferred. I use Bayba, they send to a few places in Gambia not as big as western union but is gambian owned. If I give someone 1000++ euros to take to Gambia i must have a witness, or at least no the person, put his picture on the web page.
If it happened a while back why now to put it on bantaba, if I got ripped off, I would warn others ASAP. |

Kassma, evidently, u are young and in the process of learning. Who must have put it into your head that familey first? Life will teach you later that there are friends that are far better than familey members.
And to all "toubabs":- in as much as u didnt choose to be born toubabs as black didnt choose their colour, there is a price tag for everything. The TV footages in Gambia, newspaper publications of toubabs handing out gifts to Gambians create the false belief that toubabs are to be exploited. So toubabs need to be very cautious.
In every Gambian language, there is the proverb that women and money can potentially pit people against one and other. I therefore have it as a policy to live on my own resources and avoid my friends women and even their ex-women. |

Kassma, I know u direct your request to Jambo. But allow me to come in with a word or two. The extended family system we are usually so boastful about in Africa can, in many cases, be more dysfunctional than otherwise. Large families in Africa are characterize by infighting, jealousy and hate. It doesnt matter if the family is royal or ordinary. Look at the family of Iraq´s former Saddam Huisein(dont mind spelling mistakes); the Bhutto's presidential family of Pakistan, just to mention two of million examples.
There is a Swedish expression that says the family is the worst, whatever that means.

Hi Eve, you know what life is too short. Just let the matter go otherwise you will be kept in soullocking with that relationship for negativity breeds negativity. Just let it go and move on you'll feel a lot stronger in the long run. If you do the end results will be spiritually, mentally and emotionally far more fulfilling.
Unforgiveness or bitterness produces toxins in your body and leads to ill health, and no one or any amount of money is worth losing your health over. Once you let the matter go, in time you will attract better energy into your life, a better man and money. So don't worry have faith in Our Creator and inner self. Things will turn out for the better and when you past through this stage you will become much stronger.
Peace

There is a Swedish expression that says the family is the worst, whatever that means.
this is an excerpt from my African Studies book:
" those who honor their family obligations may do so out of a mixed sense of cynicism, dread, and guilt. consider the Ghanaian sociologist Kwasi Oduro. with his mother's support, he became the first university graduate in his family. in spite of his enviable teaching job in Accra, his government salary cannot properly support his wife and five children. yet, he shares his three-bedroom home with eleven home-village cousins ( his classificatory brothers and sisters) and during his rare visits home, cannot refuse his mother's, mother's sister's, and sister's desperate requests for money. "i want our of the extended family trap" he says, "and when my mother dies i don't think i'll go back to the villiage anymore" (Harden, 1990,94).
