Et tu Sankareh


There you have it folks: the photo above is the infamous picture that supposedly showed Yahya Jammeh in a compromising situation with a married woman. At least that is what Ebrima Sankareh was insinuating when he wrote:

As part of our one year anniversary, The Gambia Echo will share a very discrete photograph of President Yahya Jammeh and a married woman.

Furthermore he wrote:

The photo speaks volumes about numerous allegations that have been wildly brewing in Banjul for three years now.It was taken at a house party at Kanilai when the First Lady was abroad.We are conscious of the potential embarassment it may cause our dear sister and her family but our trade is such that public officials have to be accountable.

Ok what the hell am I missing from that picture? Nothing in the scene look unseemly or even mildly embarrassing. You have two adults taking a picture in what looks like a garden. If you look closely, you will see what looks like a third person standing next to Nenneh. Is this Sankareh's idea of discrete? Unless Sankareh has a more damning picture, this just doesn't cut the sensational nature that he initially sold this story with.

I am really disappointed in Sankareh. This is the sort of shyt you expect nderry mbai to pull.

Sankareh and Nderry are 2 sides of the same coin of crap. Sankareh & Nderry, if this is what you mean by doing service to your nation, may God have mercy on your souls, because Satan has really gain the upper hand here.

I kind of thought Sankareh is a better journalist because he atleast has a degree and has a good command of the English language,but am wrong.He and Pa Nderi are very similar in their reporting, I don't understand why he always tease us with big headlines without any substance in the story.
If you are busy putting facts together don't come up with head lines only to tell us that we have to wait for the actual story,,wait wait and wait that never really end..

OBSERVATIONS:
Eventhough the said picture is not showing or telling us what Sankareh is implying, i have made an other obeservation to the picture:
It seems the image of Jammeh is out of the frame of the actual picture (see for yourself and tell me if am wrong). I am not an expert but it seems the picture has been manipulated. Is it obsessed Sankareh at work? Again!

Everyone of you should give yahya Jammeh a chance. Jawara had a chance for 30 years, what did he do for you? Enough of this bullcrap from your halfbaked reporters and analysts.
