Raising the flag for Sierra Leone
By Khadi Mansaray
Independence Day provides a reason to celebrate and painstakingly search for things to be proud of. It is sometimes extremely hard to find things to be proud of and admittedly you have to look hard. Among the despair there are things that we can be proud of - and that is our people.

They are damned atheists living without God and without hope in the world. And the greatest beneficiary is obviously suffering from incurable megalomania.
