William Gbing-Gbing O'Bai Konekay Bangura, Grand Knight Commander from Rochain Kamanda O, Yonibana Chiefdom, Tonkolili District ,
You never knew that I would be so upset. Now you know.
You should not believe that your various argumentum ad misericordiam, prayers for retribution, your gnashing of teeth or oceans of copious weeping over the execution of Jesus of Nazareth or the Holocaust, or the execution of Colonel al - Gadaffi or of Brigadier John Amadu Bangura, my dear friend brahim Taqi, Aminatta Forna's father Dr. Mohammed Sorie Forna and the other martyrs is substantive evidence to back your tall claim that. "Davidson Nicol was part of the cabal who executed my Themne people."
So far, you have not provided an iota of evidence to support your various claims, other than that Dr. Nicol was made Sierra Leone's Ambassador to the United Nations in 1970 (and there he did a lot of good)
I suppose that using the same useless argument you would also like to indict all the medical doctors who were on the payroll of Pa Shaki's government on the day of the executions, that they were all Josef Mengele
Have a heart and try to unite that heart with your brain. Please.
To really understand what happened and what was happening, we have to start somewhere near the beginning: About our interminable conversations, you have said a lot, but all this time, I have had my ears cocked, waiting to hear that which up to now, you have not said - that which you most probably do not know, but which Brigadier David Lansana knew ( absolutely) and probably Sir Albert Margai too.
On the other hand, as the saying goes, "Those who know don't talk. Those who talk don't know"
By the way, "Themne " is the name of the language and Temne is the name of the people.
May the Almighty eradicate from us, the spirit of arrogance and conceit and save us from the evil inclination
Orbai Cornelius,Calm down. I am an idiot who believes there is a God, who does not belong to any category. Whenever I make "controversial" statements be assured that I have quadrupled my sources. I never knew that you would be so upset about mentioning Davidson Nicol's involvement with the coup that ousted Brigadier A.T. Juxon-Smith and his N.R.C.I will never divulge my rational for calling Siaka Stevens, "your Stevens" in a public forum. As I have told you my family--biological, extended and tribal--voted overwhelmingly for the All People's Congress (APC) in the March 1967 elections because of numerous factors including then Prime Minister Sir Albert Margai's (AM) machinations to succeed his brother Sir Milton Margai; (AM)'s misbehavior to my grandfather Bai Farma Tass II, who founded the Sierra Leone People's Party; his imprisonment of a very reputable Themne Imam Alhaji Sheikh Gibril Sesay; the exile of Bai Koblo Pathbana II; and his refusal to appoint then Lieutenant Colonel John Amadu Bangura to be Sierra Leone's first indigenous Force Commander (FC) of the Royal Sierra Leone Military Armed Forces disregarding the advice of the last colonial (FC) Brigadier Blackie.As you are aware Brigadier John Amadu Bangura will forever be my greatest hero.I will never apologize for my statements on (DN). If this will be the end of a great relationship so be it. There is a famous Tonkolili proverb, "Or moneh eh bentyeme en kabaneh (Poverty will not impinge on my pride).William Bangura (Konekay from Rochain Kamanda O, Yonibana Chiefdom, Tonkolili District)--On Thu, Apr 11, 2019 at 10:02 AM Cornelius Hamelberg <hamelbergcornelius4@gmail.com> wrote:William Gbing-Gbing O'Bai Konekay Bangura,
When will you stop being silly?
Without any proof, you accuse an innocent man of horrendous complicity or worse and still smiling like the genius Satanic prosecutor that you are you expect me to "please disprove that (DN) was not involved in the conspiracy to oust Brigadier A.T. Juxon-Smith and his N.R.C.".
Don't you understand that that the onus of proof is on you and others of your ilk.
And in all future time, when talking to me, please stop referring to Siaka Probyn Steven as "Your Stevens".
I have only seen the mf twice in my life, I am not related to him and he is not "My Stevens ". Intili?

Also, please disprove that (DN) was not involved in the conspiracy to oust Brigadier A.T.

Believing in your own or in somebody else's lies is not very helpful here in this vale of tears and does not let you off the hook. At the very least, you should refrain from impugning the honour, the dignity and the integrity of Dr Davidson Nicol, all based on some flimsy, unsubstantiated hearsay which you want to tender as "proof" when you engage in your sordid libel, defamation and slander.
If only you would be willing to take a lie-detector test or as the Christian gentleman that I otherwise believe that you are, to lay your hand on the Holy Bible and repeat after me,
"I William Gbing-Gbing O'Bai Konekay Bangura solemnly swear that I will tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help me God, under pain and the penalty for perjury..."
But no, you are not willing to do so because you do not know or know any better, since all you believe in and repeat is the testimony of a dead man, one "Captain Sam Mboma of Brigadier Andrew Terence Juxon-Smith's National Reformation Council "and as Rogie said and you must know this to be true: Dead men can no longer smoke marijuana!"

Like Malcolm X, I can confirm the truth, not my truth. According to the late Captain Sam Mboma of Brigadier Andrew Terence Juxon-Smith's National Reformation Council, (DN) was highly involved in the toppling of their junta. Most of my Creole "famble" were deeply involved in the activities of Stevens and his APC and were greatly rewarded for their schemes.William Bangura--On Sat, Apr 6, 2019 at 11:20 PM Cornelius Hamelberg <hamelbergcornelius4@gmail.com> wrote:William Gbing-Gbing O'Bai Konekay Bangura,
Dr. Davidson Nicol did a lot of good during his lifetime. May the Almighty be pleased with him. Here is Stockholm early in 1972 at dinner at the Grand Hotel something terrible happened with me, but he was still in control of the situation - he merely asked me, " Cornelius, how is your mother? " Earlier on I had refused to shake hands with Jerome Holland, the US Ambassador to Sweden when Dr. Nicol presented me to him. I kept my hand in my pocket. My attitude was, " get the hell out of Vietnam!" After that, a lot of bad things happened.
Between September and December 1969, whilst Ibrahim Taqi was Minister of Information, he visited me and Mary Ann Rogers-Wright at Mathura in Magburaka at least ten times.
Speaking more directly, you could have very well said that as a member of the APC, our very learned non-Creole friend Dr. Abdulai Osman Conteh who as the state prosecutor and attorney-general asked for the death penalty at the Treason trial of Dr. Mohamed Forna, Ibrahim Taqi and the 14 other political martyrs, was one of the main instruments of the injustice.
Who were the presiding judges? Who were the lawyers representing the accused?
Since the Temnes are the numerically strongest ethnic portion of Sierra Leone, why don't they take advantage of their numerical superiority? Please tell us why.
And the SLPP, the Sierra Leone opposition and civil society, the Temne Chiefs? The Mende Chiefs? The friendly neighbouring countries such as Ghana, Nigeria, Guinea, Liberia? The Organization of African Unity? The United Nations? The United Kingdom? The Commonwealth? The Church of England? The World Council of Churches? The Vatican?
At least I wrote to Pa Shaki and advised him to not even dream of ever burying nuclear waste in Sierra Leone. He must have received a lot of other behind the scenes advice which got him to drop that very bad idea.
Someone like Wole Soyinka did go on a world tour in his campaign against Abacha, but in Sierra Leone, land of the free, before and after that treason trial, what did the Honourable Temne people do on their own behalf and on behalf of Sierra Leone? Please tell us.
