Sierra Leone: Is in The Midst Of an illegal Drug Crisis

Image
  Maurice Kamara March 23 rd , 2024 Folks, our country has been hit by a full-blown drug crisis. A crisis of monumental scale and proportion leading to cataclysmic tragedy. The drug name KUSH is in circulation in our country and our youths are consuming it in alarming proportions. KUSH is an illegal synthetic drug, a lethal cocktail drug that is combined with various organic chemicals like Acetone, Benzyl Chloride, Chloroform, Ethanol, isopropanol, and some other organic compounds etc. to make KUSH highly potent and toxic. The youths in our country are currently being decimated by this drug. With the increase rate in youth unemployment, insecurity, food insecurity, health insecurity, social insecurity, an increase in poverty and lack of a national youth enterprise development fund to support youth in becoming employment creators and being aware of all these insecurities makes the of killing our brothers and sisters by this lethal and potent drug an urgent issue and state of emerg

Lans Omar: Behind The Scenes

  Hello everyone! From Winnipeg, Canada, respect to all my fam, fans, and friends! The weekend vibes are here – Adebayor fading out of the picture, Salone Patriots Blog drops in the media world, meet the potential SLPP flagbearers for the 2028 presidential election, run away president - Ernest Bai Koroma in the question of the day, plus lots more. You're about to read another neck-breaking edition of “Behind the Scenes". This column is the radical thoughts of one guy called Lans Omar aka the "Golden Child” - born and raised in Freetown, Sierra Leone. Let's do this : Sierra Leone’s political comedian/commentator, Adebayor, is gradually fading out of the scene since he lost the battle to the Paopa Boys in the last presidential elections in Sierra Leone. The political comedian/commentator has been accused by the SLPP supporters and the current Sierra Leone government of inciting and fueling violences and riots in Sierra Leone. Adebayor is doing this from the com

SENEGAL: The Blueprint

Image
  Maurice Kamara March 2nd, 2024 The other day I commented on how Senegal came about far more superior in football than many Sub-Saharan countries. But the reality is not just about football, Senegal's political and Socio-economic fabric is unmatched by many Sub-Saharan countries much less my country Sierra Leone. When Mackay Sall tried to dither and played with the constitution by postponing the elections, he was met with a ferocious resolve and backlash from the Senegalese people. Opposition parties, 15 out of 20 candidates including the jailed Ousmane Sonko and notable figures like Bassirou Diomaye Faye and former Dakar mayor Khalifa Sall galvanized their people to strongly oppose the delay of elections and to defend the constitution. They fiercely pursue the case to Senegal's constitutional council and then to the supreme court, and they won. This is the success you get when you have independent institutions of a state that are devoid of Executive interference and corruptio

Prepaid Credit Cards Please

Image
          Naomi. 63 Years after Independence and our country always on the verge of Econ collapse, isn’t time to review the current colonially inspired atrocious Per Diem System? Should the Spouse of a public official be paid Per Diem merely for accompanying his/her partner on official duty abroad? What is the moral and legal justification for paying NON-public employee Per Diem? Now you see why corruption is systemically endemic in this country. When they travel abroad, they go with more than 10-man delegation. You see where some of the IMF borrowed monies are going to? Our country is broke, Revenue generation is appalling, and we rely on IMF/WORLD BANK/ADB/EU for bailouts. Per Diem Needs to Be Looked at. There are more effective ways and they will curb corruption. Cut down on the number of travels abroad and equally cut by more than half the number of people who accompany on those trips. Start by implementing Prepaid credit cards for those officials when they travel abro

Sierra Leone Diasporas

Image
  Maurice  April 5th. 2024 There is a book I once read that spoke about human frailties told through an interesting tale of mental lethargy. We seek refuge from the harshness of the known through fantasies about the unknown frontier. Something quite similar yet the opposite happens for the thousands of Sierra Leoneans who live overseas. They seek refuge from the harshness and uncertain future of the known (our native land) through certainty and fantasies about the unknown frontier (western world). Remember, overseas Sierra Leoneans are the ones who left their homeland, family members, friends, in search of success through a much better utilisation of their talents and hard work. It was the other side’s (western world) fantasies of wealth and success which compelled them to make the journey. Many of the Sierra Leone immigrants in foreign lands found the success they had heard and read about western countries. Once successful, these overseas Sierra Leoneans never abandoned the drea
