Outsource your PR my friend...

I don't know when, but I swear down someday and regretfully very soon, dictionaries will define "self-publicist" with a selfie of a typical Gambian celebrity (wannabe) on Facebook. If y'all don't start hiring professional PRs like us to help you create the favourable public image you need and stop opting for Do-It-Yourself (DIY) for fame. Don't do to us what your bathroom selfies did to professional photography; it's unfair.

And also - being famous and able to sustain the status for an indefinite period without impairing your soundness, or without depleting your father's resources is a celebrity status worth the hunt. But just because you can afford to pay D250 for a poolside selfie at some hotel in Kololi, without food that is, and only to go back to your shack in Wellingara hungry doesn't make you a celebrity.

But then noise ba day barry rek, wye selfie captions aside, nyu ni nen ham nanj nyu nama everything ak nyu namut dara.
