At his interrogation Tuesday, Barrow’s intelligence outfit quizzed if he (Jobarteh) was feeding forGambia News any information. Again, Jobarteh never tipped us anything. We will continue to monitor this development.

Meanwhile, we have been vindicated again as our scoop on the extravagant, yet surreptitious issuance of Gambia’s diplomatic passport to foreign nationals is naturally attracting more whistle blowers.

Before the paranoid gov’t rushes to arrest the girl who flaunted her Gambian diplomatic passport on Tiktok, we don’t have any connection with her. Nor did she give us any information earlier. She only shed more light on our publication.

We almost added a little vignette on “Honey traps” in intelligence and its asset props yesterday while publishing Jobarteh’s arrest. But we, thoughtfully decided to omit that part.

A honey trap is a “beautiful girl” in intelligence who courts powerful state personalities only to gather strategic information. If you assume forGambia News is a simpleton of the indigenous, please keep the thought because it helps us a lot.

Can you see why we laughed at Dr. Ismaila Ceesay as he made outrageous statements in a desperate bid to belittle us? forGambia created tough politicians some of whom you see on a daily basis without knowing they are our products.

Some of our fruits are sitting in high offices but we never ask them to feed us any info. Some in our team worked with the most feared international intelligence outfits!

But here is something that may baffle you: We will close this paper any day Barrow becomes a patriotic, good, merciful leader who cares genuinely for his people to stop the dizzying heights of corruption. We will even join NPP!

When we broke news of the 20,000 diplomatic passports, we thought it would only quake the Gambia gov’t. But it rattled some of our brethren in the Gambia media who act like readers owe them their nephrons!

They, out of sheer hatred and manufactured animosity orchestrated a passive aggression spree we ignored momentarily. It burns their striated cardiac cells to see a small site like ours make it to international coverage from New York Times to Senegalese media.

“How dare you, forGambia! How dare you! We couldn’t get it! No one should!” And we are not even in journalism full-time! Now, you know why Africa remains pathetically behind: Dark, evil, yet unnecessary hatred for other people’s small feat!

But this would worry us if we set up forGambia News for profit or a whit of vainglory. We let low-IQs pursue that or die hard trying. If a young lady could flaunt a Gambian diplomatic passport on Tiktok subsequent to our story, what does that tell you about other hamsters you don’t see on the wheel?
