Jambo, we have a fish in gambia called Kobo, am sure u know. It belongs to the herring species. Usually, it's a cheap fish with a very tasty flesh, one of the tastiest.But that's where it stops. The fish is so difficult to handle because of its small bones.
In wolof, we say u always have most of the characters of your name sake. I want to think this is the problem with our Kobo here in this forum. He's nice but very problematic, just like his name sake.

BAMBA, can i ask where has kobo been, I quote you posting 20 april 07.3 59
"Kobo, at times I wonder which century u live in. Are u supposed to set the code of conduct in Bantaba? If a topic is unappealing choose another one. Bantaba has a myriad of topics. Onething leads to the other, is it so difficult to understand?
Why do want Yaya Jammeh to be bombarded while your own despotic approaches are reminiscent of his? If u appoint yourself to screen what people write,u at least have to seek approval from listmembers".
I agree with you 100% do you think Kobo has selective reading.
read some his replies to my topics, especial the one regarding recruits.

| Am not a preacher but wish to remind you that some of you may have time to joke and laugh when pertinent issues are being discussed and seeking for new resolutions to rectify and amend our courses of actions for the betterment of the motherland. We need to develope our patriotism together and have mutual trust and due respect to other ideals. There are lots of burning political issues that we are confronted with as the nation is sinking and we need a saviour. However token your small ideas and intelligence are, lets be very constructive and avoid insults and character assasinations. Its really a daunting task and challenges for us. |

| Can anyone figure out whether there is declaration of civil war in Jammeh's speech? I read a recent topic after this speech and Halifa Sallah was being addressed as "His excellency The President Halifa Sallah". Are there dissidents who cannot see Yaya as their President anymore? |

Do you see any declaration of "civil war" in his speech?. Please enlighten us.
Dalton1 wrote "His excellency Hon. Halifa Sallah" so perhaps you should go and read the topic again |

| If Jammeh stated categorically that he is there for next 30 years. Is there any other President apart from him in the next 30 years? However please clarify why Halifa is now honoured to be addressed as Mr. President? |

| Halifa is the presidential candidate of NADD. He's also an honourable member of parliament. Give Halifa your own designation Kobo, and let's hear. We cant wait. |

Confirmed the expression from the postings of Yero Jallow by Dalton1 that Halfa Sallah NADD's flagbearer was considered a prospective president and addressed as "His Excellency Mr. President?"
Am asking is it legal to addressed Halifa Sallah as "His Excellency The President" in the Gambia? Any consititutional provisions for interpretation through this topic? |

You need to read between the lines. Obviously there cannot be two presidents. It is a wish and also out of respect that we address people w have come to like with some respect.
In French they take the plural form even though they are sinlge. For example VOUS is plural but you can call a senior person like your grandpa as VOUS as though he was a plural. You can also address him as TU (very personal like age mates)which is the singular form of the word YOU in English. VOUS is also YOU in English. |

| Thanks Kondorong for helping through. However there are also some serious implications with certain statements in political sense. |

Folks i think Kobo is right to call a spade a spade and nothing else. It is the desire for some of us to have Halifa as our President. That takes more than cheap statements being thrown around the cyber bantabas. Calling Hon. Sallah as HE is wishful thinking. We need to take practical steps for our goal of chnaging the powers that be in Gambia today.
However Kobo, Jammeh's speech could be stupid but what i find positive about this man is speaks his mind whether what's comes out of his mouth is pleasing to hear or not. WHO THE CAPS FIT LET THEM WEAR IT. MOST SENEGALSE AND I STRESS MOST SENEGALESE TREAT THE GAMBIA WITH DISDAIN AND DISRESPECT. That has been there before Jammeh. That's hate they had for their northern neighbours Mauritania until they had the bloody fracas in 1989 (April)and they have now learned to respect them. Thats NOT TO SAY WE MUST GO TO WAR WITH ANYBODY. Of late is not only Gambia that's suspicious of Wade's Senegal, sometime ago according to a senegelse media outfit Ivorian president accused wade of trying to destabilize further his country. If wade is senile, let it stop within his country. The Gambian problem needs Gambian solution and nobody elses. Its this same Wade who arrogantly said during theborder impasse that he was going to drill a tunnel right under the Gambia to reach his southern province of Casamance. despite our political diversity we MUST NEVER COMPROMISE AND SOUVREIGNITY AND NATIONALISM. LONG LIVE THE GAMBIA! |

| Kobo you are right. Halifa is just a honourable nothing more. Whether we like it or not as at now Yahya is our president. Those thinking out there that Halifa may win, thats just a daydream. I bet he will lose his deposit in the upcoming elections. We have seen that Halifa and Waa and the other failed politicians within NADD have no good agenda for the state. If people have a wrong/weak vision there tends to be lots of obstacles in carrying out the work. This we've seen from the PDOIS. They failed considerably, their vision statement was/is not effective hence poor outcome in elections. I beleive that if the vision is well defined and effective PDOIS would have been the strongest opposition party in the Gamnbia. |
