Jama Jack's Response To The Gambia's Pen. A Must Read Article!!!!!


I want to commend Ya Jama Jack for this brilliant article. Incase  you don't know the whole story about her writing this response, I will give you a brief recap of the whole story. Momodou Sabally who Gambians call The Gambia's Pen wrote an article on Monday on the daily observer title "A Message for self-preservation and empowerment". An article that was written with the intention to promote women's empowerment ended with bluntly degrading women. I had to re-read twice to actually try and an understand the essences of the letter in the first place he kept contradicting himself. Well here is the link the article but if you are a woman, a father, brother or son then brace yourself because I can guarantee it's not a pleasant article http://observer.gm/africa/gambia/article/opinion-to-gambian-girls-a-message-for-self-preservation-and-empowerment


I was very happy when I saw Ya Jama's response. She spoke the minds of maNY. She used to look up to Momodou Sabally as a role model. Hence she responded, people are calling her The Gambia's eraser . You might think she's young but she addressed the matter maturely. She is indeed a very good writer so you'll be happy after reading her response. http://balafong.com/balafong/node/1706
