I hope and pray that the new Biden/Harris administration will continue to keep Ambassador Maria Brewer as the Sierra Leone ambassador.
This little country of ours has never been able to stand on her own two feet. Since our independence, we have been acting like children with growth disorders – problems that prevent developing in normal weight, height and other features. Sierra Leone the only place on earth I am proud to call my home has never evolved not even by a tiny inch. Her immaturity and dependence on handouts like a beggar on the streets has been truly completely baffling to millions of us. (lol) Have you ever seen an adult that was incapable of tying his own shoelaces, but wears rumpled, wrinkled clothes to important occasions?
Well, that is what our struggling Sierra Leone truly resembles – a cowardly chicken always fretting and waiting for someone else to intervene in the process of hatching her out of a fragile, broken shell. Yup days and nights it spends waiting and waiting, even though all the conditions are ripe, proper and suitable for her to remove and free herself from perpetual bondage. Folks, that is the image of Sierra Leone that comes to mind! A country of Losers!
Donations, donations, donations, strictly designed to demean, humiliate and degrade our people instead of inspiring them towards the paths of self-reliance and enviable heights of self-sufficiency. It is only a miserable shameless hopeless beggar that wouldn’t make an effort to fend for himself and strive to stand gallantly and responsibly on his own two feet. Shame on the SLPP and our inept, wretched old soldier lazing around in State House without a mission.(lol)
