Sierra Leone: I was almost arrested again

I was almost arrested by My university Security Officer because I was taking pictures in the university today.

I Know this may sound ridiculous but the security officer was very serious. He said he has been watching me for a while and I have been taking pictures and typing on my phone. He said it was a crime and he is going to arrest me.

Everyone is doing that all over the world. We all take pictures of places and send its on social media. If this was a crime all students of Fourah Bay college will be a victim. Everyone student has taken pictures in the university.

I know that it’s wasn’t a crime and I was not afraid to tell him and all the other security officers around in the security post. He was wrong and he had no right to arrests me or intimidate me.

At this conjunction, they were not saying anything senseable but demanding me to say sorry. I did not and will not acknowledge that I was wrong and I was not ready to say sorry. Saying sorry is like be selling my right. In the end, they gave me my phone and allow me to go but not without the intervention of our my christian union Ex- President.

This was not the first time officers were using their position to intimidate me and i was also not the first person they have done this to in Freetown. This is a common culture among freetownians Security officers and business people. I so hate this and I want it to stop in Freetown.

When you go to the market, the women are expecting you to beg them before they will sell to you. Especially women saying “fry fry” a sort of fast food.

” Bo duya sell gee me bo”

Almost every worker in Freetown is expecting you to beg them before they can deliver the service for which they are paid. Whether the waitress, the market women, the man selling tickets for a show, the taxi driver, the cashier at a bank, the tailor and many more are demanding us to beg them when we want their service. This is total nonsense.

I stop fetching water from a particular tap around my area not because I was not ready to pay but because I was not ready to beg and pay.

We need to respect one and other in Freetown and change ourways for better freetown and Sierra Leone.

Freetownː Aw lɔŋ wi go wok lɜk ɜlifɑnt ɜn it lɜk yɔni? The sun never set in Freetown.

There are many cities in the world were the sun never set and Freetown city is one of them. This is because of people in these cities like Freetown work day and night, night does not either their daily activities.

I used to think that it is only the educated young people that don’t sleep at night. My friends are always online at midnight doing research, working on assignments or downloading or uploading video or files. The Internet in Sierra Leones is very poor and very expenses during the day. It’s only at night it’s a bit fast. My friends and I will also go to the party the whole night and go early to classes the next morning. My experience yesterday helped me to know that it’s not only the young educated freetwonians the sun never set for, But many women and young men.

At about 12:00 am -2:00 am people were still going about their businesses. A lot of cars, Kekes and Okadas busy were running up and down the city. These are the same transport that will run whole with the same driver but they still remained poor. Still finding it’s very hard to take care of their family and basic needs, having no assurance of the future.

Women in the central business district were still selling at 1:30 am at dofcourt market. Some were even shouting

” you don buy you cold Wata, you don buy you places”

Some children were even playing around the market with so just joy and happiness. What’s I was thinking all this while is why are these people not sleeping or tired. But if dem nr fen is, ar go gee dem?

The young men were not an exception. I saw some men working for the Freetown city council, they were painting road sign on the street at night. Thank God for electricity.

At about three junctions I saw some offloading bags of rice and other stuff from a van into a shop. This is the kind of hard work I can’t do even during the day. This men are the people when they sick they can’t give themselves good medication. Money nr de

I don’t know why I was not afraid of thieves. I saw a group of when coming and I was inquisitive about it. I made to learn that One of their comrades has stolen someone phones and they were doing the investigation themselves. When I saw them past the byv eastern police station, I thought there were going to the police station. But they didn’t. They when away with the guy, only God knows what they will do with him. I love the idea of community policing, it the safest and cheapest form of policing. Who told me this guy was doing community policing? Maybe they were just finding ways from him to space.

At this hour people were still selling cold water, rubber drink and recharged card. “Top Top Top” around Eastern police. For them, it’s always day.

At St John which is around my area, people were still selling in the street.They were selling ‘fry fry”, fry fry is a sort of local fast food in which most of the foodstuff is fried.

I can hear the voices of people praying in a church and other reading Quran in a mosque. There was one particular man in a fuel station that was reading the Quran very loud.

There were also clubs and bar that were still on.

So know I very well that the sun never set in Freetown. The only problem and question I have is.

Why do freetownians work very hard and received a little reward?

Why is there a lot of poverty in Freetown?

Aw, lɔŋ wi go wok lɜl ɜlifɑnt ɜn it lɜk ɔni?

7 Amazing facts every foreign national that want to live or work in Sierra Leone must know about Sierra Leone Krio.

Eight things every foreign national that want to live or work in Freetown most know about Sierra Leone Krio.

1. Languages breaks barriers. As a foreign national talking Krio will help you to break language barriers and open doors in Sierra Leone. Even if you only know five Krio words use it in every of your conversation. Eg; Ar de do fayn ,work fayn, food fayn , altin fayn fayn.
2: Krio language it’s a unique language on its own. As a foreign national you will hear some very bad English sentences are prefect Krio sentence . You just need to accept and learn it’s structure like anyone other foreign language eg; Ar go call you back, when ar cross check, You need for reverse backward.
3: Krio have lot of English words, but that’s doesn’t mean you know the language. Because English words comming to Krio sometimes changes it’s meanings and it’s pronouncing . Eg; Alex get kol at ( Alex have cold heart) it’s like a translation but still two opposite sentences. Cold heart in Krio means peace while in English its means heartless.

4: Krio language have 7 vowels instead of the English 5 vowels. You might think it’s not important for you because you just want to learn to talk the language. But knowing it’s structure help you to pronounce word well and remember sentence .If you went to the market and said you want vegetable ( in a British or an American accent) they would say they don’t have it. We called it vegetable, same spelling huh but different pouncesion. Our Krio vowels are clearer and sharper than the English vowels.
5: Most Krio speaker hardly pronounce H and S in the start of a sentence. Just ask someone to pronounce ” Harold ” they would say “arol” and in many other words like house ( os), hannah(Ana) horse (us) and many more. This is the dynamic of our language and it’s beauty.
6: If your Krio speaker can speak slower , you can understand about 70 % of what he is saying. So whenever they speaks so fast just tell them ” talk slow slow “or “talk saful saful”. This is the same for any foreign language.
7: You don’t need to speaks 100 % Krio words in a sentence. Infact Krio is made up of about 50% English words. So you can talk few Krio words as you can. You only need to master your joining words like “na”, “de”, “en” and others.
8. if you talk Krio small small and someone smile at you. They are not laughing at you ( even if they might actually laugh) they are just admiring you.

It’s just like a black man talk a pure British English with a britsh accent.
If you have all this and need more.You need to take a Krio lessons with kushe Krio lessons.

Sierra Leone-Ghana connection, Four Amazing places everyone must visit in Ghana. #YaliNetwork

This slave castle is in the central region of Ghana and it’s was built in 1482, during the era of the slave trade and slavery. It’s was build as a dwelling place for slave masters and a waiting and transition point for Africans to be transported into the new world. This slave castle is near the coast, which make it very easy for transportation of the slave.

As a student of History and politics in Sierra Leone, this castle gives life to what I have been studying all this while. I was able to understand and tthe mesarable condition our forefathers stay before transported tO the news world.

We also have a slave castle in Sierra Leone at bounce island but it is not in good condition as the elmina castle. I wish Sierra Leone will developed it’s historical monument and land marks.

Sierra Leone-Liberia connection. 4 Amazing things to do in Liberia.

1: Have a lecture about independents.

Liberia is the oldest African Republic and its one of the two countries that were never colonised in Africa. Most people I met agree on the part one of my sentence but not the part two. They said Liberia was colonised by United States of America. United States of America was a colony and did not colonise any country. This our argument will go on and on. They will never argee with me and I will never agree that Liberia was colonised. I’m just troublesome how can I argue with people about their on history? Liberia celebrate independent every years and have a close relationship with united of America. Most Liberia Youths dream of traveling to America, which is the same in Sierra Leone and many others countries in the world. Liberia flag is very similar to the American flag, Liberia have one star in place of the 52 stars in the American flag. They are the only west Africa country that has the United States dollars as it’s official legal tender. If you work in Liberia you would be paid in dollars oooo. Conversations between peers is term as “lecture” and I enjoyed all my Liberian lecture.

2: Speak English

It’s so amazing when you speak English in Liberia. Because of the confidence and Authority in which in speak my English when I was in Monrovia. Many people admire me, they said the guy is speaking pure British English. Aaaaa mi head bin de big. If it’s was in Sierra Leone I was speaking this kind of pure British English people will be very annoy. Dem go cuss me good fasin. I love the freedom that is in Liberia about speaking English in public.You can speak English any time and any place and you will not get insulted.

3: Talk Krio

Some Liberian living in Monrovia have connection with Sierra Leone. Some are Sierra Leoneans mostly from Bo and kenema district that are looking for greener pleasure. While others are Liberians who migrated to Sierra Leone during the civil war but return. So whenever you talk Krio they will have a complete connection with you and ready to tell you their story .

4: Networking

Liberia and Sierra Leone network is very essential. You can’t go to Liberia just for tourism. There are lot of education, business and job opportunity in Liberia. I went there purposely for Business opportunities and tourism. I had a wonderful dinner at the lunching of Young leadership Initial (Yali)- Liberia Alumni chapter. It’s was a wonderful time of networking. One day I dream of establishing a business between our countries.
