If things had gotten that bad for all of those things to be said about me falsely and me retaliate excessively vicious, don't you really think I stayed too long?"<BR/><BR/>That is exactly my point. Why will anyone stay in a relation personal or otherwise when other people are tarnishing your image day in day out. Words like traitor, tribalist, you named it were hurled at Ousainou by people who didn't have their way. The man is human and for all I know he is not a saint. At a certain point he and his supporters decided to call it quits. Hamat bah came to the same conclusion. You don't hear them calling him those awful names. The NADD project failed not because of, but despite of Ousainou. <BR/><BR/>When you had kebba Foon (mr. tribal man) and gang running around trying to dictate what folks on the ground should or shouldn't do then the project is bound to fail. What did you resign from the STGDP by the way? That should tell you the mind behind those pushing for reform in the Gambia. They came to this project with their choosen leader in mind and when UDP called their bluff, they went beserk. They were not honest brokers. Now like Bush, who ever disagree with them is seen as unpatriotic.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7906333.post-1148008243910787182006-05-18T20:10:00.000-07:002006-05-18T20:10:00.000-07:00Anonymous: No matter what I did or didn't do on th...Anonymous: No matter what I did or didn't do on the Gambia Post, my actions then and now are not hurting anyone. <BR/><BR/>And, don't you really think it was time for me to leave? If things had gotten that bad for all of those things to be said about me falsely and me retaliate excessively vicious, don't you really think I stayed too long? Now, if I had left sooner, I don't think anything would have ever happen. Even with that, I can live with my choices because in the end, none of us were really hurt. Can you say the same thing about Waa and Darboe?<BR/><BR/>FYI - I'm the first one to admit that I can be extremely selfish and self-centered. But then, my actions will not hurt ~1.5 million people. At most, my actions may hurt 2 or 3 people. This is what you should keep in mind when you indict me in this manner.Cynthiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01515523400127073358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7906333.post-1147963815489679152006-05-18T07:50:00.000-07:002006-05-18T07:50:00.000-07:00Waa is a drama queen.

Instead his constant calls for UDP to join NADD are borderline desperate.<BR/><BR/>Cynthia didn't stay on the Gambia post after her name was drag through mud. But she expects Darbo to stick it out even when he (darbo) knew that there are elements in NADD undermining him and dragging his name through the mud. If that is not double standard on Cynthia's part,I don't see what it is.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7906333.post-1147919382528260522006-05-17T19:29:00.000-07:002006-05-17T19:29:00.000-07:00Good for you. Standing up for what you believe in....Good for you. Standing up for what you believe in. But the fact remains that you cannot bluff just for the hell of it. Waa is behaving like a spoiled brat. His unbecoming behavior is partly responsible for this outcome. He snitch and divulge executive meeting minutes to tarnish ousainou for personal grudges. <BR/><BR/>The only reason Waa is sticking with NADD is that his party's base is non existent. So Nadd is a platform for him to push his infantile grudge against darbo.<BR/><BR/>You further state:<BR/>'I absolutely will not let anyone back me into a corner and expect me to come running back to them. I believe in compromising, but if we can’t compromise, you will certainly not get your way.'<BR/><BR/>That is exactly how UDP/NRP folks feel. Therefore Waa's constant rambling and call for them to join NADD will not yield much. Maybe level heads like Halifa will come to their senses.ousman ceesayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03756128037080964284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7906333.post-1147905821526239392006-05-17T15:43:00.000-07:002006-05-17T15:43:00.000-07:00Now, if I was a member of NADD and two members pul...Now, if I was a member of NADD and two members pulled out, I wouldn't go to them, I would do exactly what Waa is doing until I got tired of saying it. If they succumb to Darboe, I think this will only be the beginning of some type of sick and twisted plan that Darboe is concocting. <BR/><BR/>I'm not saying this is what NADD should do, all I'm saying is that this is what I would do. I absolutely will not let anyone back me into a corner and expect me to come running back to them. I believe in compromising, but if we can’t compromise, you will certainly not get your way. <BR/><BR/>An African born Black man told me recently he has never seen a woman that subscribes to this type of position. He thinks my position is unreasonable although it has served me well. I believe there are consequences for every actions and I don't mind accepting or giving out those consequences.Cynthiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01515523400127073358noreply@blogger.com
