Re Commuters and Drivers

Saikou Jammeh

(OPINION) - As the editor, I had declined several invitations to respond to views expressed in this column. Kaabefoo is designed for the reader, exclusively and I would have held on to that position, had Abdoukarim of Tallinding not pushed me into a corner.  

 

In the last edition of Daily News, he wrote about his Nuiminka friend, who he doubted, will have a ‘lift’ to carry home a bulky one thousand dalasi worth of cash as majority of car owners nowadays lack the compassion to lift stranded commuters. 

Gladly, at least on this occasion, I, too, will have a story to share, without it being someone else’s say-so. Matter-of-fact, anyone familiar with the Mandinka cultural dances, will agree with me that it is never bad in the ‘Sewurubaa’ when the ‘TangtangKutiroo’ puts down his drum, descends onto the dance floor and flows along with the clapping of women.
