As long as people travel the Ebola contagion was likely to come from neighbouring Guinea or Liberia but it could have come on a reduced scale and much later.

In any case it’s no use crying over spilt milk because it will only make it salty for the cat. Ebola is upon us. In its skip step and jump from Guinea to Liberia it has coincidentally begun from the Kailahun District from where our earlier war disaster started. Whether it is a question of history wanting to repeat itself only the future knows.

This is an Open Letter to the Environment Authority Unit of the Freetown City Council.

I congratulate the present administration of the Freetown Municipality for addressing a very salient aspect of the city’s heritage: the final resting place of all citizens. For archaeologists, demographers and researchers, invaluable information is derived from graves and the texts on tombstones.

Prosperity consists in prospering and not in having prospered. It is not historical. It is a now phenomenon. Don’t tell me you had 10 houses and billions of Leones in Kono which were all destroyed and taken away by rebels adding that you are prosperous.

Unfortunate as that situation is you may be living on alms by the grace of God. Prosperity is also not a tantalising future event.

On the 28 April 2014, the 50^th anniversary of the death of Sierra Leone’s first Prime Minister was observed privately by relatives and friends with little mention of the event in the media.

Dear  Government of Sierra Leone,

Our Agenda For Prosperity is Failing to keep our pregnant women and children from dying in Sierra Leone! This is evident in the number of women and children who continue to meet their demise during childbirth. ACTUALLY THE WORST IN THE WORLD.

I would like to applaud you for the work that has been done for the last 15 years to address the issues of maternal death in this country. However, as a concerned citizen of this great nation I refuse to be a hypocrite!
