WHERE I BELONG
I
belong to sallah family, but some of them say we are "wollof" and others
says we are "tocullor" they share different culture, different laguage
and there evrything is different. But me I beleive we are originally
"tocullor" as my grand father told me that there fore fathers came from
Gunee Conakery and then to Senegal from there to the gambia. They came
to the Gambia in 1920 and they settle in the northern part of the
country wich is call medina sering mass....And then my father came to
the rural area to search for a job there he became a Quranic Teacher in
Sering Ebra Nyass Quranic School in Latrikunda Sabiji that is were I
was born......So my mother came from senegal but she came to the gambia
when she was 10yrs old, to visit her grand mother, so her grand was very
old and she was lonely here and they told my mom to stay with her and
then she never go back to senegal...
