[@kyrianuwandu1162]

Its not Napa, it used to be called NEPA.. National Electric Power Authority. But it has been changed to Power Holding Authority but with the same result, unable to generate and distribute enough electricity to Nigerians.

Hahaha its hilarious. All you can do sometimes is just laugh about it ❤

Is not rich west afrwest africa is a region with 16 countries. Different cultures, custom and traditions. This is gambian wedding. Not a west African wedding

[@rickidenise]

Lol hmm. It's almost as if The Gambia isn't apart of those 16 West African countries... I said what i said! It is a West African country, therefore it can be considered a West African Wedding :) It's not that deep.

[@diopfifi4937]

@@rickidenise no.there is no such thing as west African wedding because west Africa is a region not a tribe, nationality or ethnicity. A region with so many different cultures. Weddings differ from tribe to tribe, from country to country. Nobody say things like westerner European wedding or North American wedding. So why do that to Africa?.when it come to Africa people always generalise. Is lasy and ignorant.

[@diopfifi4937]

@@rickidenise it is deep. Is so ignorant when people keep generalising the whole region as if is one country

Ricki, you've been in the Gambia for so long and you have not bought in to the country and culture yet.Look at your attire at a Gambian wedding.I do not even want to talk about your lack of effort to learn any of the local languages especially when you did some of your high school in The Gambia. This is just my honest observation.
