Some of them are suffering so much and can’t eat one square meal a day , yet they won’t allow you to say anything about politicians doing nothing good for the country , busy building mansions , traveling round the globe , enriching themselves and not even thinking of them. What is wrong with man ? They are ready to cuss you out for a selfish president and his government that are busy feeding themselves fat while they are walking around, thin like poles from hardship and “sufferness “.
Yes, we supported Ernest Koroma but Ernest was a different man altogether. He was a busy man with his head set on developing the country. As any human being, Ernest had his faults but during his time you saw development projects all around . Good roads were being built. Beautiful architectural structures were being completed and commissioned . Things were hard but not as they are today. Ernest made efforts to control prices and keep inflation down . Ernest had problems but he was sincere . He wanted others to live better lives , not like this cur who thinks only about his tribe .
Ernest was not an abuser and he killed nobody. He was a gentle giant . He did not want to hurt even a fly. He did not go out purposely to commit human rights abuses. He did not have anybody dying in jail like Kamarainba. He did not kill people like Evangelist Sampson and the many youths who died exercising their constitutional rights to demonstrate against bad governance. He did not send a tribal militia to Pademba Road to massacre hundreds of prisoners and some correction officers. Ernest made mistakes like any human being but his heart was in the right place. He meant no harm for anybody. Ernest nor bin get bad heart. He was always smiling. He loved all tribes .
Dis man renovate only one airport . Una yeri de noise. Just one airport and he just complemented the developments Ernest started on that same airport . What kind of loyalty is this ? Because he is of your tribe, region or clan ? Shame on you . Support for somebody must be built around strong reasons.
If you are going to die for a person, die for somebody who deserves it . He may have all his faults but you have abundant pictures about the many development projects he initiated and completed . Maada Bio and Ernest Koroma cannot be compared in any way. Ernest was a far better , kind and progressive president. He was not able to help everybody. Nobody can help everybody but he did his best to help even SLPP people, Bio’s tribesmen and even Bio himself. Bio used to sneak to State House to receive money from Ernest Koroma. Ernest was kind, loving, generous and helpful to Maada Bio at a time when life was wretched for him. I used to see Ernest Koroma helping many people from different tribes and political parties .
Let not your loyalty be built around tribe, region or clan. Support somebody because he is sincere and committed and is not trying to hurt anybody , even with all his human frailties. Support somebody who loves his country and you are seeing him doing things to develop his country and stop suffering.
Maada Bio will leave all these sycophants and bootlickers on dry land when he leaves power and the question will be : What is really wrong with man ?
