Sierra Leone Poda Poda Wahala

One morning it was all over the news that vehicles that are not road worthy would be stop in plying the street of Freetown. Several views were had across places I visited, the majority were saying it would be just as usual! Which is mere announcement with no implementation.

As a Sierra Leonean that normally plied the street of Freetown including, west and central I want to bring to the notice of the Authorities that plenty vehicles that are plying the street of Freetown are not fit for purpose. 

However, they are not ideal for human confort. If you are in these places:  Dwarzark, New England Ville, Tengbeh town, Murray town, Kingtom, trust me your live is not safe as compare to people that are staying in Lumbley and Aberdeen, The reason is so simple to justify.

When you see a vehicle from Dwarzak you will start smelling danger immediately you onboard in it. Places like Dwarzak, New england ville  most of there vehicles has no Key to start the vehicles.

Whenever, you enter there vehicles automatically you have become a pastor or Imam, in other to get to your destination.

In my sincerest plead, I want the authorities that are charged with such responsibilities to stand firm and protect the Lives of its citizens.

Secondly, I want the traffic police to work in the interest of the state rather than working in their own interest. If traffic police are actually doing their job I don't see any reason or reasons to still see majority of vehicles plying the street of the places I had mentioned.

Probably, the cause of Sierra Leonean valuable lives that Normally lost in  road accident is a a result of what I would refer to as "BOOKING". These days once the driver has booked no traffic Worden would asked the driver question. 

Normally, it is that time you would hear driver telling passengers if you are not ready to go come down, in a situation where the passenger is saying something that would saved the lives of many. 

Please let us respect the lives of every Sierra Leonean no matter it tribe, religion,region. Everyone lives is scared.

Witnessing a wide range of individuals parade from the National Stadium to Aberdeen Beach with a single message—zero tolerance for gender-based violence—was as refreshing as it was telling.    The diverse gathering was a testament to the campaign's reach, stretching from students and women's groups to public officials, youth organizations, bike riders, motor dealers, kekeh riders, a...

Timbo Returns back to active politics

 Dear Friends, Comrades, and Sierra Leoneans, Today, I choose to formally declare my return to national politics. For the past months and years, many who don't know me personally, have been asking whether I have given up since they haven't been hearing or seeing me. Well, many a time, I had questioned whether I am cut out for the noise in our politics. Many a time, I had asked myself whether giving up on being a barrister was a prudent decision - I was definitely on a brilliant trajectory in that field. Many a time, I look at the opportunities I turned down just out of love for this nation. I must admit, there were times when I thought of quitting and retreating to my happy and quiet place. I felt like politics here has become so toxic that once friends are now enemies, partners are now strangers, every single thought expressed is judged with political lenses and daggers drawn, a feeling of 'us' versus 'them', a feeling of 'na we turn' and 'we turn d...

Hon. Ambassador Dr. Mrs. Shirley Yeama Gbujama, an APC Success Story on Gender Equality and Women's Empowerment

Hon. Ambassador Dr. Mrs. Shirley Yeama Gbujama, an APC Success Story on Gender Equality and Women's Empowerment, was promoted today in a nice prose by SLPP stalwart Dr. David Sengeh but David forgot to mention that Hon. Gbujama is an APC (All Peoples Congress) Success Story on Gender Equality & Women's Empowerment. Hon. Shirley Gbujama, an eminent woman of substance was first spotted and elevated *in 1972* by the Mighty APC party in governance under His Excellency President Dr. Siaka Probyn Stevens of blessed memory and Foreign Minister Professor Solomon Pratt (my maternal grandfather). It was H.E. President Siaka Stevens, as APC Leader and President of Sierra Leone who, on the recommendation of a then dynamic 🚩APC Women's Congress of Madam Nancy Steele, appointed Madam Shirley Gbujama as a female Ambassador of Sierra Leone to first, our Addis Ababa mission at the now African Union (then known as OAU), Ethiopia, Tanzania and several east African countries in the year 1...
