ON WORLD PRESS FREEDOM DAY: SHYLLON JAILS JOURNALISTS
When two of our colleagues were arraigned before Magistrate Shyllon last Friday on libel and defamation charges, we had some fears about how the court was going to treat them for the following reasons:
FAILED LOGUS KOROMA AND THE THIRD TERM AGENDA
Those who know Logus Koroma must tell him right away that there will be no escape for him and his THIRD TERM MOVEMENT if they end up plunging this nation into chaos once again.
We heard him clearly on an APC –sponsored program on Universal Radio on Tuesday evening telling the nation that De Pa has done well for Sierra Leone more than any other leader before him and so there was nothing wrong in him seeking a third term in office. Let’s make the following points:
SUPREME COURT CASE MESSES UP CENTRAL FREETOWN
We still can’t believe that Munu ordered his people to lock down the heart of Freetown and manhandle opposition supporters the way they did just because of a case at the Supreme Court about an election petition that has taken longer than usual to be heard. Our judiciary wouldn’t like this but we strongly believe that Kenya and Ghana shamed us into moving after dragging foot for weeks.
The Kenyans have finished their own election petition and the Ghanaians are very close to closing the case one way or the other.
MINKAILU BAH’S FIVE-YEAR REPORT CARD
We’ve been trying unsuccessfully to reach Sister Lynda Ngaojia, the “Woman of God” who recently made those extraordinary comments on her encounter with the heavenly host. We want to commission her to behave like the Witch of Endor and tell us why Minkailu Bah, De Pa’s most confident – even if complacent minister – decided to open up to the media recently after making only highly selective and orchestrated appearances in few media events in five years.
GRADUATION AT USL WITHOUT DE PA: WATIN APIN?
Many students will miss De Pa at this year’s University of Sierra Leone congregation. We hear he has already told the University authorities that he will not be climbing Mount Olympus this weekend. As usual no reason has been given to the general public about this decision.
FROM OBAMA LAND WITH WHAT: WILL DE PA SPEAK UP NOW?
On behalf of our esteemed readers we want to welcome De Pa back home from Obama Land. We also want to congratulate him for making that very important shortlist of human beings wanting to meet the most powerful man on planet earth.
