The most infamous declaration of politics and sport was the Sierra Leone Football Association (SLFA) 2012 elections which spilled over to 2013 as a result of petitions and counter petitions. That led to the setting-up of a Normalisation Committee (NC) by the football world governing body, FIFA, amidst claims of a lack of structure within the Football Association (FA) Secretariat.

"FIRST THEY IGNORE YOU, THEN THEY LAUGH AT YOU, THEN THEY FIGHT YOU AND THEN YOU WIN." The words of the great Mahatma Ghandi in the heat of his passive-resistance campaign.
Shall we ever learn?
Indigence is not our potion
Endlessly proffering lame excuses
Resource-rich by nature's quirk
Rebuffing genuine international reports
Affluence for the fortuitous few
Land of iron and diamonds
Every step questionable
Oil-find a looming embezzling prospect
Never heeding constructive criticism

Isaac Watt’s words in the Christmas carol “Joy to the world” ushers us into the spirit of Christmas. It is all about joy for the lamb of God who became incarnate to take away the sins of the world. It should be noted that Jesus became MAN not only for Christians (at the time there were no Christians but Jews and Gentiles) but for the sins of the whole world including Muslims).
The Christian religion carries certain facts at its heart, and the greatest of them is this: “The word became flesh, and dwelt among us”.
