I speak in the lone voice of a humble and patriotic Sierra Leonean, expressing my opinion on the constitutional review process that is being carried out by the Constitutional Review Committee (CRC) in the country. The interest to contribute to this process is generated in me by jingles aired on FM 103.5 Star Radio and Radio Democracy FM 98.1.

The Book “Essential Theology for Today” is coming out at a time when the quest for fuller understanding of the general teachings of the many religions of the world is urgent. An in-depth study and reading of the Book would unravel hitherto unexpected areas of the subject of Theology.

Everybody needs medicine. This is simply because the most healthy human being gets sick. But before I get down to the nitty-gritty of the headline let us indulge in some circumlocution.

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.
