That said, my observations of the stories Freedom Newspaper carries on daily basis have made me conclude that the direction the paper is taking is not what i thought it would when i agreed to be part of the team. Therefore, remaining part of the team would only make me torture my conscience, which i strongly beleive is unnecessary under the circumstances.Jawara went on to make some niceties about contributing stories to the fact free zone when the need arise, but what he wasn't counting on is the vindictiveness of nderry mbai. He [nderry] is a dictator. It is his way or the freaking highway. Nderry didn't disappoint critics like yours truly this time around either. He divulge confidential information shared between him and his erstwhile associate editor for all to read. Take a look at this line in his response to the resignation email sent to him in private by jawara:
We can vividly remember when you emailed the Freedom Newspaper about a year ago, requesting to be filing sport stores for us. You also asked our Managing Editor to help you with a supporting letter for your supposedly intended asylum application here in the US. Editor M'Bai respectfully declined your request since you never worked for his paper. M'Bai also told you that he cannot write such letters without the approval of the paper's editorial board.I hope folks like Jawara: with far superior writting and cognitive skills learned a valuable lesson from this experience. Don't associate yourself with a simpleton trying to make a name for himself at the expense of all.
This is the second associate editor to leave the tabloid in a relatively short period of time: Jambang left a couple of months ago to start the senegambianews portal. His reasons are in alignment with Jawara's. He was saved the embarrassment since nderry probably has nothing humiliating to divulge about him.

To Jambang and Jawara, all i have to say is, what goes around comes around. Or may i say in wollof "Nderry defflen moi". One thing good about this is, Nderry is exposing the real motive of all these self-proclaimed journalist (ASYLUM SEEKERS) like himself. Gambia, as a nation is greater than all of you, even together. This is just the beginning of your dismise, for the truth shall always prevail.
