Chairman O'Bai of RUF Tonkolili,
Seke yo!
Who do you think that I am? The new APC government chicken boy?
You ask: How many jobs have my President Koroma & the APC the creator of jobs created? I will have to count all my fingers and toes and simply go on counting till the crows go home.
You have a tendency of asking me these questions although you know that my name is not Dr. Ernest Bai Koroma. So, why don't you write and ask him or address your rhetorical questions to the Ministry of Information or to write a letter of enquiry to the editor of Cocorioko?
When you ask like that then at least that's one official job that you yourself have created and I want some remuneration for answering your questions. Yes I'm a mercenary and the information you seek is costly, does not come free from me. There's a price to pay, otherwise you'll start another endless barrage of questions-with- impunity.
About the RUF, in chronological time there are two periods, the period before the mandatory amputations of hands and feet and the period when that was the RUF's main terror tactic which alienated much of the support that they once had within the country and in the diaspora. Paradoxically, many people of Sierra Leone are grateful to Sani Abacha for bombing Freetown after the RUF invaded to complete their "Spare No Soul" and Operation "No Living Thing" and for the Nigerian led ECOMORG for providing the means of finally routing them .There should be if there is not already one, a memorial monument for Maxwell Khobe – I cried on the day I heard the news of his passing.
I see that the former RUF treasurer Omrie Golley has been appointed Ambassador to South Korea. Let me hasten to assure you that I approve of the appointment and the peace and reconciliation deal.
It should not come as a surprise to you that I am in sympathy with all that you say about President Koroma's transgressions with regard to education in Sierra Leone, especially with regard to the FBC which decorated him with that honorary doctorate that he likes so much. If you really want to do a good deed – one that would please Jesus and St. Luke the physician, then send him a copy of what we all read in this USA-Africa dialogue series The tears of Fourah Bay College - I didn't respond to that posting because if I did, I'm sure that I would have been declared a persona non grata in Sierra Leone for all eternity. Some of the funds from which they are so busy building tourist hotels which continue to remain half empty could be diverted to getting their priorities right by investing in what was once known as "The Athens of West Africa" . Doesn't the ministry of education have any grey matter in the head?
Yesterday they had a Miss Sierra Leone in Stockholm. If William had been here I'm sure that he should have been there as one of the judges to carefully select/ elect a berra and about that, I myself would have nothing to complain…
Ow for do?
I remain,
APC to the backbone.

Brother Cornelius,How many jobs have your President EBK and your APC produced since they have been in office from 2007 to 2015?
I AM VERY PROUD TO BE ASSOCIATED WITH THE REVOLUTIONARY UNITED FRONT (RUF) AND I WILL ADDRESS "THE MURDEROUS TITLE OF [THE] RUF" IN ANOTHER OPINION.
This is the problem I have with my opponents who try to criticize my facts. On "EDUCATION" the Margai brothers and all the "governments" including your useless APC have continued the path of your British colonialists. They instituted school fees while they (British) had "open" or free universities until a few years ago. The diabolical factor for school fees was to create a "false elite", because only those who could afford it would educate their kids and extended members of their families. I had promised in my prior post that I would not compare Sierra Leone to another country with fewer natural resources which will be insane but I am obliged to debunk your statement I have no choice but to invoke Cuba and Botswana. The literacy rate in Botswana is 88 percent, and is Cuba's literacy is an outstanding 99.8%. Sierra Leone's literacy rate is a great 48 percent.
I have not read any of Norm Chomsky's publications and inexperienced with Einstein's Theory of Relativity, but both of them combined are incomparable to me with regards to socio-economics and politics. I am not an intellectual, because that adjective has become a cliché.
The SLPP and the APC are replete with "intellectuals" who can offer 'great' socio-economic policies to enhance Sierra Leone. NOT. I have not been impressed and will NEVER be, because they cannot transfer their theoretical 'knowledge' into pragmatic strategies for the country.
This is the marked difference between you and me. I AM OBLIGATED TO SIERRA LEONE BECAUSE OF LUKE 12:48.
Thank you very much.
Best,
WILLIAM BANGURA (RUF)
