  1. ~My Step Dad was one of the key players that helped run a Campaign for Earnest Karoma in America so he could Win & become the Sierra Leone President…..

    Even though I don't like my Step Dad because he a hater….lololol, I give him credit ….even though my Step Dad aint support Me in nothing…lolol, but helped my Mom pay bills ….He definitely helped this man Earnest Karoma like i never seen him help a person before…lololol

    My Step Dad really wanted to help do real good in Sierra Leone…that's where all my Parents from: My Mom, My Step Dad & My Real Dad…I was born in the U.S. tho…but I obviously I got Sierra Leone blood in Me…but that's my only connection

    I never step foot there yet…lololol….but I got relatives I never met but sent money to her and there in the past but lost connection….

    But yea, back to the story

    My Step Dad helped Earnest Karoma become Sierra Leone's President….and You would've thought he would've looked out for my Step Dad and appoint him a Rich money making position….but naw…did em filthy … LOLOLOL

    I think he gave him a thank U or some small a## token of appreciation…the DisRespect…LOLOLOLOL

    My Step Dad lost friends who was helping Earnest with the Campaign, to Earnest, after Earnest won the Presidency back in the Day…lolol….

    My Step Dad threw parties, charity foundations, even invited Earnest our house to eat in America, when we found out he was actually going to Win….and he knew my Step Dad did a whole lot to and was probably the reason he Won….soon as he Won…

    N### ain't look back to help for sh##…LOLOLOLOL…he helped one of my Step Dad's friend, whose kid used sleep over our house to hang out….lolol…when we found out Earnest helped his Dad, ya Man moved to London to attend one of the greatest schools…LOLOLOLOL…we aint seen him since …except through Social Media…lol

    If he had appointed my Step Dad we woulda been Rich… LOLOLOLOL….cuz Earnest know he was supposed to reward my Step Dad with a high position… because without my Step Dad he probably woulda Lost…LOLOLOLOL

    So I'm not saying he guilty and deserve jail….

    Politics is filthy game soon as Man don't wanna look out and help…and wan keep the money all to himself….lololol

    If he appointed my Step Dad a high position

  2. It's funny because the current president committed an electoral coup, which itself is a treason. ECOWAS is the most useless organization with leaders who either rigged elections or stay beyond their limits. What happened in Mali, Bukinafaso,and Niger will continue until those criminals in ECOWAS are eradicated.

  3. A lot of evidence has been brought up against E.B. Koroma, and he needs to clear his name if he's innocent.

    He ruled Sierra Leone for 11 years, some of us know the atrocities we went through and because he doesn't want the incumbent government to make any positive impact by exposing the havoc he recked on this nation, that's why him and his few extremist factional groups have been fighting the presidential legitimacy of J.M Bio since 2018 (first term National elections) to now.

    There have been 4 unsuccessful coup attempts since 2018, and all suspected coupists are either former bodyguards to the former president or are affiliated to the major political opposition party (APC).

    Sierra Leone 🇸🇱 is a peaceful country, but the greed of a few politicians wants to destroy our image to the international world.

  4. This man stole HUNDREDS MILLIONS of Ebola $$$ and all the Ebola treatment centers are dilapidated and the health care system is TRASH. LOCK HIM UP FOR LIFE HE IS GUILTY.

    TAKE HIM TO A HOSPITAL IN SIERRA LEONE. He deserves to be treated by the same health care system Sierra Leoneans are forced to utilize, the same health care system he drained for 11 years. NO HEALTH TREATMENT OUT OF THE COUNTRY FOR KOROMA.

  5. The continent suffers from endless coups or governments that overstay their welcome. Is it reasonable to expect anything different from a continent that still operates within the confines of political borders set by colonialism?

    It would be easy to point to the Asian "tigers" and suggest that the unstable countries of Africa have something to learn from their rise to economic prosperity. Perhaps, but despite their optimistic outlook, they, too, face challenges: they are on a constant war footing, with several conflagrations looming from Taiwan to Japan. The tensions between China and Taiwan, South and North Korea, China and India, China and Japan, and North Korea and Japan are like pressure cookers waiting to explode.

  6. It a julius bio plan coup he has failed the nation he has looted and rob the country now he is looking for a scapegoat to blame take people attention tripartite investigation going on by international community and from his atrocities he has committed in Sierra Leone 🇸🇱
