INDUSTRIAL ZONE TO CHANGE SALONE
A project that will completely change the game in a quiet corner of Sierra Leone and indeed the whole country is just getting underway. When Principal recently launched the ARISE IIP Industrial Zone project, he told the people in that part of sleepy Songo that the zone would create NINE THOUSAND direct jobs and FIVE THOUSAND other kinds of jobs that would spring up around the facility. Impressive!
POLICE OFFICER KNOCKED DOWN AND KILLED
Our hearts go out to that senior police officer who was knocked down while on traffic duty in the Waterloo area the other day. The reports we read say he was putting things under control in a chaotic part of Waterloo called FIVE-FIVE when he was knocked down. We know that people get knocked down by vehicles all the time but this could have been avoided. Why can’t we install traffic lights in such busy intersections, fitted out with cameras and so take our police away from danger? What is so difficult about that?
NASSIT FACILITY IN BO BECOMES WATA PLAZA
They say water is life. We agree but can NASSIT please tell us something about the original plan for the plaza in Bo because the way things are going there raises a lot of concern. We have seen what is happening to a similar structure in Makeni and Kenema but the one in Bo has about five small companies selling water. The process water at the plaza, load thousands of sachets in trucks and sell them throughout the district.
ARISE IIP INDUSTRIAL ZONE AT SONGO LOOKS PROMISING
A project that will completely change the game in a quiet corner of Sierra Leone and indeed the whole country is just getting underway. When Principal recently launched the ARISE IIP Industrial Zone project, he told the people in that part of sleepy Songo that the zone would create NINE THOUSAND direct jobs and FIVE THOUSAND other kinds of jobs that would spring up around the facility.

SHEIK JAGABAN AND THE FAKE IG SAGA
We want to alert movie producers to the guy we know in good old Sierra Leone as Sheik Jagaban. In the few days he’s spent trying to give himself some relevance in Sierra Leone politics, he’s put so much in that public domain that the producers should be able to do a movie with him as the main character before the end of 2023. And such a movie would bring in hundreds of thousands of US dollars.
SIERRA LEONEANS ARE A DIFFERENT BREED ON SOCIAL MEDIA
While the whole world is busy condemning the brutal killing of the police officer there are Sierra Leoneans, a good many of them living outside the country who are celebrating and threatening more killings. Some even have gone as far as claiming some responsibility for what happened with the OSD commander.
