Still I suppose its quite colourful in some ways when you read phrases like.
"you scummy little tosser" and
"Just pull your pants up and walk away boy. You brought the shame to yourself not me."
" Pull your pants up and go seek help" and "Nyari just pull your pants up, ifanang. You are embarassing me now"


Hit The nail right on the head Janko.

Long live the Politicos

This question is outlandish. Halifa’s statement did not indicate any break down of payment or third party involvement in respect of the Almenta debt. What he have in fact indicated was that the $11.4million which represents the whole sum, was paid by the Gambia government, and this statement is without any qualification whatsoever. He did not make any mention of the EU’s involvement or indeed the so-called break downs you just talked about. We only got talking about the EU’s involvement when I brought it up. This is deceitful and Halifa knows it.

I underscore the word ‘settle’ in his statement only because that word, in the contextual sense therein, also means ‘pay’, and that is very significant because it connotes to the suggestion that the $11.4million debt was paid from the tax payers’ purse. Again, that too is decietful.

''Here is simple English for you: about 7 million is not equal to 7 million. It simply means nearly 7 million which in this case refers to $6.7 million.''

I have stated that I was paraphrasing your statement as it was not before me when I was writing my posting. Therefore you should not have expected me to quote your exact words. You should have placed emphasis on the contextual sense that I was projecting which is not about whether the figure was $7million or about $7million but how you ended up contradicting the very person whose position you professed to defend. But you know what? I won’t allow myself to be distracted by this pettiness of yours because I know it is borne out your frustration over the exposure of your Ayatollah. You just can’t bear to see the myth created around him being shredded into pieces. I will now return to the substantive issues once again, and I hope you will now provide an answer to my question. Also, Please be assured that I will not paraphrase anything this time around, I will quote you exactly.

By your postings of 1st September 2009 @ 22:00:24 and 20th September 2009 @ 11:37:46, you claimed that about $7million [$6.7million to be precise] of this $11.4 million debt was paid by the EU. However, Your Ayatollah’s July 22 statement unequivocally indicated that the whole $11.4million was paid by the Gambia government. He made no mention of EU’s involvement in the settlement of this debt. Not even the about $7million EU payment you alluded to. My position on this and without prejudice to your side of the story, is that even if I go by your story which goes on the line of EU paying about $7million [$6.7million to be precise] of the $11.4 debt, that still vindicates my point that Halifa Sallah had been deceitful in his July 22 statement because he has deliberately failed to acknowledge EU’s role in the liquidation of this debt even though he very well knows about it, thereby deceitfully leaving his readership with a palpable impression that the whole $11.4million bill was footed by the Gambian government and out of the tax payers’ coffers, something he very well knows is not true. Now here is the crunchy nuts question;

Given that you have claimed that about $7million of the $11.4 was paid by the EU, something that clearly contradicts Halifa Sallah's statement to the effect and without any qualification whatsoever, that the whole $11.4 million was paid by the Gambia government. Can you now tell the readership which of the two statements is a dead lie, yours or he’s? Please do not disappoint the readership this time around by not answering this question.

By the way, if you think my expose’ of Halifa’s deceitful tendencies is borne out of hatred for him or that I am the only one knows about it, well may be you have not read what BBC’S Umaru Fofana who recently visited Gambia and interviewed Halifa, had to say about him. I leave you with and extract of his comments below.

Thanks


Unconvincing

''Mr Sallah has been secretary-general of the opposition People's Democratic Organisation for Independence and Socialism (PDOIS) since its establishment in 1987.
When asked about internal democracy - or the lack of it - within his party, he deviates into a history lesson, and then gets all philosophical.

Defending his long stay at the top echelon of the PDOIS, the former presidential candidate told me that his party was "in transition" from 1987 to 1994 when the military coup happened which banned all political parties. Once the ban was lifted in 1996, he said his PDOIS functioned up to 2001 when they formed an alliance with four other political parties under the National Alliance for Democracy and Development (NADD) - but this was an alliance that collapsed pretty much before it started. But Mr Sallah is still the PDOIS secretary-general 22 years on. He concedes the point but is quick to add that his party "operates on [the system of] collective leadership. Individuals who are in authority do not have individual powers… [because] there is no individual-centred leadership in the party," he said, sounding as unconvinced as he looks embarrassed.''
