63yrs of nothing to celebrate. And we are at an all-time low in our “progress”
Not even basic electricity and water has been achieved.
Retweet if you agree #SaloneX #BlackOutIndependenceDay

The manipulative nature of #SierraLeone current government asking population who’ve had no access to basic electricity for over a week now to “pray,” is yet another cry at the lack of leadership in our country.

I’m thinking of patients in hospitals, our elderly, pregnant women, those who despite daily hustles can’t make ends meet. 86°F in Freetown today & we are still in national blackout. Never in my life, I would have thought we would get to this level of reckless governance. #SaloneX

Went for a drive at sunset the other day to remind myself of the beauty of #SierraLeone , despite the endless cycle of crises. And look how the sky was giving, telling me all sorts of stories.

Ahead of UNICEF Canada water for life gala, I sat down with Global Halifax for a quick chat to provide some context

This can’t be life: no light for 4 days in a row. this isn’t even power cuts: it’s a blackout, we don’t even have power for it to cut. & safety wise: a house in the dark on a dark street. Freetown ain’t no place to live, We have no power at all. #Freetownstories #Freetownblackout
