Sometimes as Christians we wonder why âgoodâ people have to die? Sometimes we question God when tragedies take place in the world because it seems as if itâs unfair that these things happen to normal people just like you and me. A flight within a country lasting only 45 minutes turned into a tragedy killing over 190 people. Itâs a very sad situation but things like this make me appreciate the fact that Iâm still alive today because I am no better than the people on that plane. Neither do I deserve to be here today any more than any of them, itâs only by Godâs grace that we are all still alive today. We take a lot of simple, everyday things for granted such as waking up in the morning. But things like these are a gift from God, they are blessings which we should embrace and take upon ourselves to at least say âThank-youâ. I pray that God will comfort the families of those in Nigeria. Itâs sad to see something like this happening in one of the countries I hold as heritage but I truly believe that we should never blame God for what happens in life. God is good. Sometimes things happen which we canât explain, but God knows why.
May their souls R.I.P.

I pledge my love and loyalty to my country Sierra Leone;
I vow to serve her faithfully at all times;
I promise to defend her honour and good name;
Always work for her unity peace, freedom and prosperity;
And put her interest above all else. So help me God.
Happy 51st Anniversary Sierra Leone!!! April 27th, Independence Day!
One of my favourite songs by Asa, Fire On The Mountain. Listen to the message in this song.
Hey Mr. soldier man, tomorrow is the day you go to war
But you are fighting for another manâs ‘cause and you donât even know him
What did they say to make you so blind to your conscience and reason?
Could it be love for your country or for the gun you use in killing?
So there is fire on the mountain and nobody seems to be on the run
Oh there is fire on the mountain top and no one is aâ running.
On February 18th, the British council will kick off  âOpin Yu Yiâ (Open Your Eyes), a 5-day Human Rights Film Festival in Freetown, Sierra Leone. The festival which will coincide with World Social Justice Day and is joint effort between Reuters Videographer Idris Kpange, and Advocaidâs Executive Director, Sabrina Mahtini.
The documentaries shown will highlight prisoner rights, the death penalty, womenâs issues, corruption, and the environment. After âOpin Yu Yiâ is launched the festival will move to two additional locations in the City, including the slum community of Kroo Bay and Globe Cinema. These two locations were selected to make the films more accessible to the masses. The first screening at the British Council will target secondary school and college students.
