STOP THROWING RUBBISH IN THE STREETS OF FLOOD-PRONE

FREETOWN

When torrential rains lashed Freetown recently many awful things happened – some homes were washed away and properties destroyed, power lines were cut and as we write this a good many ordinary Sierra Leoneans are trying to rebuild while looking over their shoulders to see what the rest of the rainy season holds for this country. We believe climate change is beginning to take a toll on Sierra Leone and there is a long struggle ahead.

TOLONGBO MP ATTACKS POTENTIAL DIASPORA CANDIDATES

A Tolongbo MP from constituency 070 is working furiously to walk back damaging comments he made about Sierra Leonean politicians in the diaspora who may be thinking about coming home in the next few months to contest for parliamentary seats.

WHILE WAITING FOR MAYOR KEMOKAI’S CABLE CAR

By the time our mayor wakes up from sleep her cable cars will be operating above Freetown. To travel between Kingtom and Aberdeen for example there will be no need for a Keke or an Okada, between Eastern Police and Abacha Street will be the same just like between Aberdeen and Goderich and between New England and Wilberforce Street. At that time even the angels in heaven will join us to celebrate the good work of Mayor Kemokai.

After a brief appearance on Monday he was remanded in the custody of the Correctional Services of Sierra Leone to face preliminary investigation for serious crimes including ROBBERY WITH VIOLENCE. Prosecution lawyers opposed bail arguing LAJ could flee the country.

DAY OF THE AFRICAN CHILD IN THE ERA OF XENOPHOBIC VIOLENCE

We have to be honest with ourselves that the yearly observance of the Day of the African Child with all kinds of activities has lost steam. Yes it has. This is a day normally observed throughout the continent to call attention to the massacre of our children by the former apartheid regime in the OLD SOUTH AFRICA. The children were protesting for rights that the rest of Africa took for granted within our own borders.
