Lovelines,

I am a girl of 22. I have a boyfriend that I love so much and he too love me but the problem is that he is not working and he always ask for money from me and wanted me to do everything for him. This makes me scare of him often and now I don’t know what to do.

Njila,

Anyway you do not specified in your text what you are doing for a living and why your boyfriend is not working and his age. What I can let you know is that there is nothing bad in doing something for your boyfriend but with the condition that such boyfriend is not a lazy guy but serious, honest, discipline and open minded.

At the same time any man who does not work but love her partner does not need to ask before the partner does for him. Man that always demand from a woman because he is not working will gradually turn to a dependant, liability, unserious and give his right to a woman. At the end a man of that character always lost in everything.

What you should do is to advice him to look for a job or learn a handiwork that can sustain him and his family in future. However, if you are not buoyant enough tell him and ask him where he wanted you to get money the money from unless he wants you to become a high street babe because any day you could not meet his demand he will start to doubt you. Good luck!

Following the Gambia government’s ultimatum to Carnegie Minerals, a mining company that has been operating in the country, to explain their operations in The Gambia, the government yesterday cancelled the company’s license to operate in the country.
 
Reports monitored over GRTS Radio yesterday evening indicated that the government had found the information supplied by the company regarding the nature of their operations in the country as unsatisfactory.

Carnegie Minerals-Gambia Limited is located in Sanyang village, Kombo South, Western Region.

It could be recalled that President Jammeh on 15th January 2008, gave a 24-hour ultimatum, which was later extended to January 21st, for Carnegie Minerals to tell the Gambian public the truth about the kind and quantity of minerals they were actually mining from The Gambia, as well as the actual international value of tonnage so far exported. Failure to meet the above demands was tied to the risk of losing their license to operate in the country.

The press release read on GRTS Radio indicated that the cancellation would be followed by further investigation and institution of possible legal action against the company. “The government will ensure that the employment of the local staff engaged by the company is guaranteed,” the release concluded.

Meanwhile this paper has been reliably informed that Mr. Charles Northfield, a British national, the Managing Director of the company, has been arrested and currently helping the police in their investigations.
