| A country as small as Gambia should take care not to give away too much land to non-citizens. But unfortunately it is always easy to find a dummy. |

Who do you mean is dummy? A gambian who has to sell because he needs money? Or non-citizen who is talked into buying it? I just never heard that land was given away, at least not to me. I might then be a super dummy...Or that is exactly how I feel today...I bought and paid for 2 plots and one of them (with well)I recently gave to my ex boyfriend in Gambia (gambian citizen)so he can sell it or grow something there or do whatever he feels like. Then something amazing happens...he tells me Iīm ungrateful and asks me to send money so he can get some help to clean the land!  I donīt say he has to be grateful or anything to me but didnīt really see in what way I been ungrateful. Told him he doesnīt need to take the plot if he think is too much work there. Luckily enough he clarified things for me in e-mail today and said he needed money to clean my plot...his plot he could take care of but not mine. Didnīt even ask him to clean it so it was a nice thought from him I think. |

| Hahaaaa, I really am. This also shows why he became an Ex. But Iīm also grateful that I have learned my lesson without getting bitter or hateful, just a lot poorer. |
