SLPP and the Tegloma “Non-political” Factor – A Questionable Phenomenon

Back in the early 70s, and on a very fateful day, four Sierra Leonean male lost their lives in a motor accident in the United States.  These four Sierra Leoneans were believed to have hailed from the Southeast.  A few Sierra Leonean students, mostly from the Southeast, studying in the United States at the time, [...]

The Rising Star of Constituency 75 – Bagbo and Lugbu Chiefdoms in the South

Constituency 75 enjoys the blessing of two prominent Chiefdoms in the Southern region of Sierra Leone.  They would be, Bagbo and Lugbu.

Prof Sheku Kallon Jr. is like the Professor that never was!

I respect Professor Sheku Kallon’s academic achievements and I will always feel the pride of that achievement because he is my fellow Sierra Leonean. It takes a lot of work to get to that point. However, I expect the Professor to utilize his knowledge in a manner that benefits not only his country, Sierra Leone, [...]

Bo Njala students say – SLPP projects in the pipeline – APC projects in the mainline!

No one knows better than the students of the Njala campus in Bo town, how the SLPP party can coin words such as “Projects are in the pipeline” to evade suspicion over their ineptitude and inability to deliver upon their promises. I was fortunate to listen and get this first hand information from a cross [...]

Mustapha Massaquoi – The Silent Kingmaker

The name Mustapha Massaquoi, commonly known as “Staffay”, is not being trumpeted within the APC party but that should not be surprising, given the fact that the man who carries this name has always enjoyed being in the back seat working tirelessly on the engine to help the drivers in the APC do the perfect [...]

Ambassador Umaru Bundu Wurie conferred as “Commander of the Order of the Republic of Sierra Leone”

There comes a time in a man’s private and political life when a thorough reassessment of his life needs to be done to establish or re-establish a true picture of his image. This usually happens after the political dust rises and falls; the accolades shine and dampen; the favours and praises reach their apex and [...]

Hon Moijue Kaikai – the people say, he fulfils every promise he makes!

No one knows and respects the Resident Minister Southern region than the people of that region. Moijue Kaikai did not earn this respect and recognition through mere cajoling and sere generosity but through his faith, hard work, sincerity and unwavering dedication to duty. He does not take his job lightly; and he has every reason [...]

Politics and national responsibility – Where do we stand as Sierra Leoneans?

As a sovereign nation, we have signed different pacts and entered into various bi-lateral and multi-lateral agreements all in the name of aligning with the International community so that we too could be seen as serious about working with other development partners. This is not new and it did not start with the Ernest Koroma-led [...]

Diaspora friends of Isata Kabia donate medications to Magbele Health Center

After several tours around Port Loko East Constituency where she is aspiring to contest in the coming Parliamentary elections in November this year, if she gets the APC party symbol, Ms Isata Kabia, an indigene of Marampa Masimera Chiefdom, born to the Kabia Ruling Clan in Lunsar town, now understands the problems of her people [...]

There are always consequences for every action

If anyone was thinking that politics in this day in age is going to be “Business as usual” like in times past, maybe, they need to think again!  The same can be said for those who think that the only way they can attract attention and win the hearts and minds of the electorates in [...]

APC North America PRO on the recent violence in Bo

Fellow Sierra Leoneans around the world, you may have been following the recent outbreak of violence in the Southern city of Bo, in Sierra Leone, and its consequences on property and human life.

Self Defense against Personal Attacks is a Moral Responsibility!

The cyber world has brought about a situation where it becomes very easy for people to find information about others based on what has been written and stored in the cyberspace about those people. It is therefore important that when someone writes defamatory things about you and posts them on either a website or a [...]

The case for or against Mr. John Oponjo Benjamin

Within the last two weeks, I have read, with very keen interest, the different articles on John Oponjo Benjamin’s personal and political life but I was more drawn to the claims on his personal life as it relates to his Sierra Leonean citizenship and his origins – son of a German father affiliated with Nazism.

Richard Bockarie calls President Koroma ‘A dictator!’ – a rejoinder

Sierra Express Media contributor, Richard Bockarie, calls president Koroma “a dictator” for what seemed to me like an attempt by the president of the country to enhance security and cut down on cell phone thefts, which have become prevalent in the country and consequently a total embarrassment to our nation, especially when foreigners are involved.
