By now the above caption should have been\u00a0digested by all Sierra Leoneans and we should be ready to move forward in progress of developing our country. These are \u00a0words of wisdom coming from president of Sierra Leone Dr. Ernest \u00a0Bai .Koroma after his reelection as president of Sierra Leone for a second term.\u00a0\u00a0I\u00a0 guess we\u00a0should be resonating these words\u00a0as we move to an era of prosperity. In a similar vein president Barak Obama of the USA described the continent of Africa as one that needs strong institutions and not strong men.<\/p>\n
When one looks at the continent of Africa, it is baffling to demarcate it from a north Maghreb region across the Sahara desert with a vast influence of predominance\u00a0 Arabic culture and oil rich fields. This fraction of of north \u00a0Africa is currently undergoing transformation of an Arab spring revolution that was started in Tunis and its flames are still smothering in Syria. The chapters of the Arab spring revolution \u00a0are still building up\u00a0as a \u00a0referendum for a constitution\u00a0is\u00a0underway in the new democracy of Egypt.\u00a0From Cairo north Africa \u00a0to the cape of good hope in South Africa, and from Ethiopia the horn of Africa to the Sudan, Africa is plagued in conflicts . I assume in most of these\u00a0 afflicted areas the cause\u00a0of anarchy is\u00a0for the\u00a0struggle for power\u00a0between politicians who have held their\u00a0nationals as hostages and\u00a0inflicting on them \u00a0punitive measures of human rights abuses, in an effort to retain their seats of power or to up seat the incumbents.<\/p>\n
\u00a0On the contrary the continent\u00a0has a tremendous wealth of potentials in terms of human and natural resources.\u00a0Unfortunately these potentials are in disarray and\u00a0the need for proper placement for the benefits of Africans\u00a0is imminent. The question now is, \u00a0how should this come about ? Perplexed in answering this question is \u00a0the situation of the blame game of our colonial masters who have left ages ago, and the reasons of instability of corruption , greed and destruction\u00a0still simmering beneath our feet. As\u00a0a matter of fact many educated elites from\u00a0the continent of Africa have excelled in various fields of\u00a0learning and have held leading global positions and \u00a0Sierra Leoneans\u00a0are no exception; an excellent example is \u00a0Dr Yumkella\u00a0 who is director general\u00a0of UNIDO and recently the recent appointment of another young Sierra Leonean Dr Abiodu Williams \u00a0as president of the court of justice in The\u00a0Hague is an inspiring note to our youths.<\/p>\n
The vision of president Koroma and the\u00a0era of prosperity is about changing the\u00a0 ruling\u00a0of dictatorship, to the agenda of change and now the agenda of prosperity that\u00a0has started. No wonder he has kick started in tapping the human resources of our talented\u00a0youths to be play makers in shaping our country’s system of governance.<\/p>\n
The popular nomination of Dr. Kelfala Mara as minister of finance\u00a0is a vivid example.\u00a0The results\u00a0of good governance\u00a0of president Koroma’s first term in office\u00a0are showing with the country being featured \u00a0in many successful achievements\u00a0 under the scrutiny of the united nations. The bad politics of yesterday is gradually changing and the right man in the right place is now on board,\u00a0perhaps this\u00a0would accelerate the\u00a0progress of our country\u00a0and undermine corrupting practices. It is not easy though, but ,with a president at the helm of the nations ruling with a clean human right record; and a\u00a0man that is ready to take Sierra Leone to a\u00a0higher level of development and an intention of\u00a0a good\u00a0legacy of prosperity will leave no stone unturned in achieving noble gains.\u00a0No man is infallible , even the pope can err, so is president Koroma who is just another human and I guess his first term experience would see a better president that would not compromise the progress of Sierra Leone with any failing minister.<\/p>\n
Already democracy is\u00a0at work and has seen the former minister of education cried down by “vox populae vox dei”\u00a0 this is a signal to president Koroma\u00a0 and\u00a0 to all Sierra Leoneans that the country must move forward.<\/p>\n
Therefore the need for all Sierra Leoneans is there to contribute and work earnestly to achieve a progressive and a successful Sierra Leone must be implemented. We have\u00a0to put politics aside, forgive one another, love\u00a0 one another, and work for the common good of our country with loyalty and patriotism. President Koroma cannot do it alone all by himself.<\/p>\n
Already\u00a0one \u00a0can see good signs of a patriot\u00a0 in the person of a popular politician in the person of ALhaji Osman Boie Kamara who has embarked on a campaign of nation building in education. This is a good example of action not intention . BOKU TOK for done!!!\u00a0 politicians should protest by doing things that will show our nation that they have not only good intentions but can carry out their intentions by\u00a0spending their wealth in building Sierra Leone. Good politicians might win an election even before polling day. By thy fruits we shall know them \u00a0GOD BLESS YOU Alhaji UBK.<\/p>\n
I\u00a0may wonder what is running in our minds as Sierra Leoneans,\u00a0if we were to imagine president Koroma as a magician or what. Let us give all adjectives but permit me in saying that the man is a patriot period. He has raised the bar of development that is why he has pledged to improve the status quo of our youths in providing better education, training in all spheres of influence and to develop our agro industries, mining ,and labour. The good incentive of building institutions would be the cornerstone of this era of prosperity.<\/p>\n
\u00a0Above all that has been said, \u00a0let us all join in working hard together to make this possible in this era of prosperity.\u00a0 LONTA and Merry Christmas to all LONTA KARA BAI.<\/p>\n
