Tam, Which Ahlboury Njie do you mean? The former King or the younger ones? I have a friend in Mbour by that name and another one in Dakar(Rue de Rems).One of them is my causin.
Tam, You haven't answered the question yet. I asked you questions too which you must answer before I give you mine ALBOURY NJIE BUUR BA JOLLOF is not the answer.
biram penda njemeh njotteh njie was prince of jolof, he died an honourable death at the battle of ngeunenene [ngenene] in 1853. he is a legendary hero in senegal - even equal to lat jor jobe. i was quite saddened that people didn't known who this great man was or they just didn't responded. he was the son of buur ba alboury jakarr lodo njie [king of jolof]. biram penda njemeh owed dozen of horses - most of which he inheritted from his late father - [buur ba alboury jakarr lodo] who was obsessed with horses and owed dozens of them. biram penda's favourite horse thought was called 'jemeh' - the horse he took to ngenene were he died.

Serere heritage. Serere religion. Serere to the end.
At times it pays to know the history of people you live with this helps to make one understand their culture and accept their values. Please give us more brother jollof history like most other ethnic history should not be buried ;its our heritage .If you do not know a person surely the only way you can address him may be hey you! as they say in mandinka,but if you do know him and decide to call him such it becomes an insult. The fula say if a person lives all his life unknown when he dies he is lost forever <si nedo wori bengandama sa mayai amagi> we may not be able to bring back our ancient forebears but we surely glorify them and that way get glory for ourselves via our offsprings
