SBB DUMBUYA IS THE NEW SPEAKER: WE KNEW THAT A MONTH AGO

So what next for our dear former Speaker of Parliament, Justice Abel Stronge? He hung in there and saw all the plotters plot his removal from office. We wanted to say POLITICAL DEMISE but hmmm, Dis na Salone, never say die. Some have been brutally removed from one place and recycled as old wine in new bottles. In any case we shall one day get the full story behind the forced resignation of Stronge. We don't know when that day will come. We venture to say though that it will be sooner rather than later.

SLAJ JOINS "NETWORK OF GOODWILL", BUT WHAT ABOUT ITS AFFILIATES?

We are still trying to find out which group is next on De Pa's agenda as he continues to build his "NETWORK OF GOODWILL". Last week he met the national executive of the Sierra Leone Association of Journalists, SLAJ. From what we've read so far on social networking sites, this was basically one of those meetings, full of feel-good speeches and promises to deliver things De Pa promised in 2008 - the land to build SLAJ headquarters.

HOW MANY MORE JOURNALISTS ARE UP FOR ARREST?

Like small time musicians like our political leaders

De Pa's GOODWILL SPEECH ON NEW YEAR'S DAY: OUR TAKE

EMERSON STRIKES AT THE HEART OF DE PA'S RED MOVEMENT

De Pa's Spin doctors are panicking as they plot their next move against Emerson whose latest album has hit the government hard. We heard of at least three meetings called to discuss strategy to counter the consequences of Emerson's songs on De Pa's popularity on the streets of Freetown. We are only a year into De Pa's new mandate so we are really baffled by some of the reaction we've seen on social networks - the intensity of the anger against the musician. This is really gripping stuff.

FUEL SHORTAGE EMBARRASSES THE NATION AGAIN

Can somebody in authority please tell us why we don't have petrol in this country or why we cannot access it? We have heard some confusing statements from Ayatolla Sistani of the trade ministry as he tries to explain why queues have re-appeared on our streets despite promises that such was a thing of the past. But the Freetown Rumour Mill is on over drive.
