Have you heard of a "battered woman syndrome"? How about a "battered Gambian syndrome"?

Okay guys, this one by the recently fired Finance Minister, Mr. Foon is a little too much. i think the former minister should just ask for the job or maybe "Babili Mansa" could be acceptable but to call the Sheikh Professor "Oga Pata Pata" is just ridiculous. It is unfair to call our President, the "Grand Master of the Order of the Republic", Sheikh professor, Alhagie Dr. Yahya AJJ Jammeh "Oga Pata Pata"...

| I am sure the D.O. only writes what it believes to be the truth,it is unlikly that Antouman Saho would deny writing it,that would indeed be very foolish. |

| Apparently this is the norms now. Be unceremoneously removed and you better be gleefully be on the front page of the Observer thanking the Sheikh. Didn't the dude only serve like a couple of months before he was rifled? Folks, we are in for a long haul... |

Some of these letters are a direct insult to Jammeh's intelligence. He definitely knows these idiiots are just stroking his ego, they don't believe a word of what they're spitting.
Can some one tell us what "Babili" and "Pata Pata" means? |

You're probably right. Historically, west Africans love to have their fragile ego repeated stroked with borderline truths. |

This one below is by the "Great Malick Jones with gifts from South Africa". Ah the Gambia  , the Smiling Coast  (to borrow Toubab's words, but of course he could not possibly comment...)
Journalist Malik Jones writes to the President
Africa » Gambia
Wednesday, August 04, 2010
Malik Jones , the officer in charge of current affairs, documentary and sports at the Gambia Radio and Television Services (GRTS Radio), has written a 'thank you' letter to the President, His Excellency Sheik Professor Alhaji Dr Yahya Jammeh, following his successful coverage of the 2010 World Cup in South Africa.
The full text of GRTS sports anchorman#146;s letter reads: "It is with pleasure that I write you this letter just to inform you that a gallant soldier has gone to the war front and has returned. My coverage of the World Cup for the BBC was an undertaking for my beloved country, the Gambia. I hope that I have been able to may my fellow citizens proud and to realize that under your dynamic leadership all is possible if we commit ourselves to serve our country. Excellency I wish to thank you personally for opening the doors for all hard working Gambians to excel.
Excellency, please accept the little present that I have for your and the first family. The items in the white plastic gab are for the children. I reckon Mohammed will want to blow a Vuvuzela so he has to try with the easier one until he can figure out how to do the real one. Mariam has a real Vuvuzela but will have to try to create the sound. The Official FIFA Match Ball and the scarves is your present Mr.
President and I wish I could have done more. The box cover of the ball has autographs of some of the Ghanian players with whom I travelled with back home on the same flight. Please acknowdled my unrelenting service and commitment to the ideals you stand for."
