EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Sierra Leone is mentioned in local and international discourses as post-war, an acknowledgement that the civil war officially ended in 2002. For the country to be truly post-war and development-focused, though, the right conditions have to be set and sustained.

We ended the last edition by stating that the hedonistic argument lacks anything in the way of obligation because of the very subjective nature of “enjoyment”.

By Ezekiel Nabieu

Continuing the series let me state that the “first” of the simple life must be a single-willed centering upon God; there is absolutely no room for variation on this point. No one dares to tell anyone else what the simple life has to look like. For he who is against us is on our side.

In the book of Matthew Jesus is still on the theme:

The usually sleepy Malen Chiefdom in the Pujehun District is now teeming with people and bustling with life. It has become a beehive of activities, thanks to the US$ 120 million investment pumped into the chiefdom by the SOCFIN Agricultural Company.

In the first part of this series I said, inter alia, that the dialectic of the simple life leaves itself wide open for misuse by those who want credit for living it but are in no way inclined to change their life style.

Last November, the Government of Sierra Leone hosted a ground-breaking forum on science and innovation. The conference on identifying Sierra Leone's vision for the promotion of agriculture, fisheries and industrial development through environmental science, technology and innovation, was hailed as a landmark move.
It follows, however, that so many a conferences, albeit conceived on genuine intentions, fail to achieve their objectives partly because after the chitchat hardly does anything happen.
