So, here is the man whose "research" is shoddy, to say the least. I wish no serious researcher takes John's figures without checking them with other sources. However, the same piece, with little addition, was published in the 25th anniversary souvenir and my name was conveniently taken out. I was also on the editiorial committee for the 25th anniversary souvenir but missed a meeting. When I pointed out that I had worked on the piece and I should have equal right to have my byline, the editor ignored it at the subsequent meeting that I attended but John conveniently stayed away as he knew I was going to raise this issue. I have also distrusted these Uganda Goans in Toronto which I have dubbed as the "Uganda Mafia" that had a stranglehold on the GOA, and still does to some extent." -----------------------------------------------
My goodness Eugene, You sure have made a reputation for yourself with the Toronto Goans. I think I now know the reason why, despite numerous attempts, no one is sending you a copy of the papers that you request. I think I also know why you have resorted to reporting on papers you have never read. Now what did Dr. Santosh call this type of journalism? Premature excretion? Mervyn1650Lobo
