Big baller, shot caller...

Nderry is living large. He got himself a $45 chair, a Walmart discounted cheap HP laptop and use one of the rooms in his apartment to show off his prowess as the leading Gambian online editor. All hail to the chief.... Can ya say baller?

On a more serious note, the Ghanaian murder case is a serious thing. The simple fact that 44 fellow Africans met their demise in our tiny country is a tragedy. The Ghanaian authorities should do all in their power to bring to justice those responsible for their brutal killings. To this end, they have done their investigations and an official statement hasn't been released as to who the culprits are. The Ghanaian press in the interim is running away with a story published by Nderry: sourced to a mysterious Sekouba Jadama at Banjul police headquarters. Nderry has on countless occassions been a sensational and unreliable journalist. The Ghanaian journalist writting these stories may not be aware of this little but very important factual nugget. In the meantime the image of our country is further drawn into the mud.

Nderry is wallowing in his new found fame. The Ghanaian press following the murder of their countrymen are quoting him ad naseum and he doesn't waste anytime pointing this out to anyone who will listen. Don't take my word for it...go to his crappy site and see for yourself.

On a personal note, I think the Ghanaians should put up or shut up. If they have evidence linking Yahya Jammeh to these murders, by all means get him, but running away with a story published in an anti- government website with a history of salacious reporting could come back to bite you when it is time to produce evidence. Will the real Sekouba Jadama stand up when push come to shove or will it be another phantom of nderry's imagination?

Human trafficking is a brutal trade. And by all accounts these Ghanaians are been trafficked into Europe using Gambian territory. Do we leave room to the possibility that traffickers could have a hand in their demise. This doesn't mean the authorities in the Gambia shouldn't investigate and relay their findings in a timely manner to their Ghanaian counterparts. However implicating Yahya Jammeh without any evidence (saved for Sekouba Jadama) could be a tricky issue when it comes to a court of law. Nderry will be well advise to seek legal counsel because as much as I detest his form of journalism, events could run their course into rough territories.

Anonymous, may be you are one of those stupid Ghanians being fooled by that empty-head nderry; or even worst, may be you are one of those empty-head Gambians in the same bed with that empty-head watchman-come-"journalist" nderry (your posting reveals your type - no doubt). No, as Gampatroit said, come with the evidence or SHUT YOUR BIG FILTHY MOUTH UP!

Evidence put are put in court I agree. Will you drag Mr. Prez to court. Otherwise just shut up. Yaya will not go to court voluntarily. Diplomatic imunity he wiil clame. Only UN can drag him to answer to his tunes. A UN traveling ban is a start. It will happen. UN take genocide crime very serious. U bet.
