They should cut sam's mic if he's gonna talk over people

[@LeahsWALKABOUT]

Very passionate show, the host she is wonderful. It is hard to hold a train of thought, with everyone talking at once. I do not care who's right or wrong . I just hope he steps down gracefully. Like being at Turntable in the Gambia. Make it home safely.

[@sjoq9031]

Jammeh must and will go either in peace or in pieces. Sam doesn't have any good education so he's afraid of loosing his job which is inevitable. I will lay my life to make sure that Jammeh is not our president ever again after January 19th. Sam was imprisoned and tortured by Jammeh that's he's so scared of him. Jammeh will go by all means necessary period!

[@mustaphajaiteh4702]

Is Sam really a diplomat? I don't find this funny but instead worrying

[@kalodibbasey1762]

Mustapha Jaiteh piôo

[@highspacefox]

The Sam guy might have had a point, but it was completely lost when he talks over people so much. People like him need to listen more and talk less.

[@ousmangaye6245]

I can’t believe it this are the same people who supported Barrow regime and now hated Barrow now, they don’t stand anywhere this is how we the Gambians are. We don’t side anywhere unless it benefits us.

[@maygreen8758]

Yaya Jammeh is crazy, and Barrow is not delivering. Feel sorry for Gambia.

[@adamaseck4090]

Sam saar is lying Fatou and others are telling people what's going on in the Gambia, because jammeh dont allow media to express such statement,

[@kewouloseydi8582]

I love and appreciate the fact they all smile by the end of the debate;it really shows that Gambia is the smiling coast of Africa. But Mr. Sam was totally out of tune and too annoying.

[@Bomstep]

21:44 "I can understand when you-- you are a diplomat, you have a very good job-- when you are about to lose your job to a new regime, you can be a bit emotional" LOLOLOLOLOLOLO

[@kebbajammeh1645]

These people military regimes are dragging this continent backward.

[@abuahmad4786]

Withstanding all the push and pull they finally laugh, ignoring the different opinions they have towards each other. This is why i love Gambians because they forgive and forgets and look for a way forward.

[@08STINGUAY]

Jammah should listen to our outgoing president of Ghana as he was there to talk to him. Some Africans leaders are too power drunk. What else do you want after 22 years. God bless Gambia because we don't want another Syria in the world

[@imdifferent7294]

This was a disaster.

[@sambabah9610]

I love it, just enjoyed samsideen in the whole thing. it was not easy for him, he has to get off the jacket as the discussion went on.

[@mustimon]

Sam is right sisi must step down not Jameh!

[@mustaphadauda373]

hahahahaha Jameh and his people funny African leaders

[@agietouray705]

Yahya Jammeh go for the goodness shake

[@sheriffdarboe3789]

I'm a Gambian and I'm so grateful for jammeh cuz he has done a lot for us... the reason why these traitors and liars going against him is that he is against the west...

[@vextally7566]

Sheriff Darboe I agree Jammeh has done many great things for The Gambia but you are wrong about the reason why they voted against him. It's got nothing to do with the west. The Gambia is getting harder, inflation is on the rise, unemployment is on the rise, young people are risking their lives trying to leave the country because thre are no opportunities for them to progress. many people live in poverty and the Government can't even provide stable energy and water for the people. Not to mention Jammeh is a dictator. So there are many reasons why Gambians are fed up with Jammeh's rule and his stance with the west is the least of them.

[@alhusaineyjallow4165]

I love ex President Jammeh; he'd been my President for decades. But I'm disappointed. Gambia is a republic not a kingdom. Step down sir, Gambia has decided.

[@kalifamanjang1278]

Alhusainey Jallow well said .

[@badawdajoof5562]

Sam does not even look Diplomatic at all. And the Gambian people have spoken constitutionally. Nothing can change that Sam.power belong to the people.

[@ousmangaye6245]

Gambians don’t know politic what we know is who is who and what will favor me or is he/her my relative, from the same culture, and money!!

[@jainabahydara8065]

Yaya jammeh u don't own us we gambian god own us not u ok get out Yaya u don't need u we don't want you what else do u want to hear from us we gambian we say Yaya go in peace

[@mustimon]

The King doesent get voted out

[@laminj]

I will love to see we the Gambia's coming together at once smiling and laughing again

[@FranciscoRodriguez-ul9sd]

An empty barrel makes more sound and that is exacetly what Sam is. He talks too much. If you have the chance to read this my advice is that you learn to respect other peoples opinion and wait for your turn in a conversation because you messed up the whole programme.

[@adot2308]

he said so what if the election results are wrong, he needs to go. Can't wait to see the end result lol

[@bachamthiam6691]

samsiden sarr you are just talking for your own personal interest you are the verry people who make gambia to go backwords

[@ogbatuochiboy1479]

Sam cannot even explain

[@AkinwumiAjayi]

Prof. Alhaji Dr Jameh!!! lol.

[@md2re200]

So this is how a Gambian diplomat, Ex Army officer behave. I can tell you were not a good army officer because you cannot even have a simple debate with such juniors. Shame on you Sam Sarr. Where is the discipline in you Sam that you should pass on to your junior soldiers. No wonder why there is so much indiscipline in the Gambian army, just look at your officer guarding a president from the same Unit all in their different uniform. Seriously Sam you nulled and void.

[@NjiejakonbaNjiejakonba]

sam stop yuh blood clad hypocrite life yuh ar di enemies of progress

[@ebrimabajo809]

jammeh is not president in gambia no one love hem

[@sebapalosebapalo6734]

I pray this doesn't befall Botswana come 2019

[@gvexecutive]

Oooh Gambia! Look at this! What a shock. Completely unprofessional. This Sam guy should really go back to the village. He has no business at any public forum at all

[@princepawka]

Shut up Sam, allow them to talk like they are doing for you.

[@alasiagibbo7896]

yahya jammeh is good 4 the Gambia people bile

[@paulines581]

Targeted changes in the population have always been a problem in this context. It can stabilise or destabilise an environment. Some individuals and groups from history know this.

[@adamaseck4090]

jammeh we dont need you please please, for goodness we dont need you anymore how maney election gos in favor while we had an such thing, maney people didnt vote. so why now jammeh didnt want loyal to the Gambia.

[@jkauto7836]

At the end of glory be to God,thanks to African heads of state and shame to western nation for not interfering.Peace.

[@shauncameron8390]

Only for people to shame Western nation if it did interfere. Damned if they do, damned if they don't.

[@elajahceesay1905]

U don't blame him , he is just selfish as all those ppl who work for jammeh that's why I never feel sorry for those he kill the one they work for him ,

[@abdouliejamanka1140]

definitely sam is mad and corrupting

[@imansherrif]

Enough of jammeh Gambia has decided no way Jammeh can bully us as a nation He must accept the will of the people of The Gambia

[@schonertag161]

Jammeh prays the cort give him Support to stay Pressident. He dont ask for new election.

[@kebbajammeh1645]

What's wrong with this man. Biggest lier.

[@iceicetou]

Sam knows he is about to lose his job. So it's in his benefit for Yaya to continuing ruling the country.

[@mfmf100]

Even the narrower margin seems definitive, especially given the size of country.

[@abubacarsonko5433]

smiling coast on West Africa why jammeh Want to bring war???

[@alphamollo7768]

[@sutaykinteh9703]
