Cry, my beloved Sierra Leone!
By Ezekiel Nabieu
A well-known maxim that “power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely” is now a cliché and it is apt here. In this Republic we are about to witness the onset of absolute power judging by recent events.
Power is flattering and deceiving but it can lift up and cast down. The question that should be staring us in the face is not where the power comes from but who should possess it. In other words the Head of State is the most important person which is why a separate election is done for the presidency.
Sierra Leone: FBC students learning in the open
By Kenneth Thompson Forget that it is the oldest Western-style university in Africa. Ignore the fact that because of it Sierra Leone was called the Athens of West Africa. Disregard the fact that many students from many other African countries used to come here for education. Concentrate on the reality that it is today. Founded nearly two centuries ago to bring up people to serve God in the best way possible, today Fourah Bay College is subjecting students without regard to the very God they are to serve.
