Update!

The government of Liberia backs the Majority Bloc of the House of Representatives as the Justice Minister of Liberia issues a deciding statement. 👇👇

“My reading of the Court's Opinion and the analysis made above, dictate what constitutes a valid, legal and constitutional Plenary of the House of Representatives, as quoted in the Court's opinion, bring me to the conclusion that the majority members of the House of Representatives met the constitutional requirements explicated by the Court to hold Session and take decisions consistent with the laws of the Country and the Rules of the House of Representatives.
Therefore, I am of the considered opinion and the law supports my opinion, that the budgetary process can be legally carried out by the majority members provided they meet the same standards laid out by the Supreme Court's opinion, forming an integral part of my opinion, and that any decision therefrom is constitutional, legal and valid.”
N. Oswald Tweh - Justice Minister of Liberia.

Moving To Italy, Episode 1

It’s now five years since Uju graduated from the university and she has not been able to find a job. Not that she has not been working, but mostly, she could only find menial jobs which paid her pennies. One of the jobs even paid her as little as N15,000. There was even a time she worked at a nursery school as a teacher, collecting only N10,000 monthly. The last job she did was working as a waitress at a hotel. Her salary as a waitress was N20,000 monthly. The money was not enough, but she was just using the job to pass time. Uju was desperate to make quick cash and she was ready to do anything to save herself from poverty. It was while working at the hotel that Uju met Madam Philo, a rich woman who always came to the hotel to spend money as if she had a machine that prints cash for her.

One evening, Madam Philo was with a friend at the hotel and they were talking about their next journey to Italy. They were talking of how they would like to recruit more ladies who would follow them to Italy and earn money like them. They were bragging about the number of ladies they have taken to Italy. Madam Philo made it clear that she would like to help more women to be rich like her.

“I’m passionate about helping young women to travel abroad and to make money like me. There is no money in Nigeria. Italy is the best place for young women to live. I will help as many people who want to go.” Madam Philo said. Meanwhile, Uju was eavesdropping and listening to what Madam Philo was saying as she served them drinks and fresh fish pepper soup that evening. She was so curious. She wanted to know if Madam Philo could also help her to travel abroad and make money. She wanted to ask Madam Philo if she too could be helped to travel to Italy, but she decided against it. She would wait for another perfect moment.

“I will wait when she is going, I will ask her privately.” Uju said in her heart as she placed the tray of drinks and fresh fish pepper soup on the tab

THE MISUSE OF SOCIAL MEDIA BY MANY SIERRA LEONEAN

Social media has become a tool to destroy the careers of many in Sierra Leone, and those who are supposed to preserve it are the same people making it unsafe for others. Why should social media be a tool for spreading attacks on people?

Sierra Leoneans are using social media platforms like Facebook, X, and even WhatsApp to attack others or spread disgraceful content of others. This is done either by using insults or leaking pornographic content of others.

The worst of all, this is either done by prominent people or done to prominent people. People like Sylvia Olayinka Blyden, who goes on social media to insult other prominent people, or like the leaking of the n**e video of Hawanatu Konneh and its promotion by different bloggers and influencers.

It is time we as a country began using social media for positivity and promote the ideology of change and maintain respect and peace among us as citizens. And maybe, just maybe, together we will create a better Sierra Leone.
