The Achraf Hakimi's experience is unique and would not be applicable in Sierra Leone

 


The Achraf Hakimi's experience is unique and would not be applicable in my nation. 

Following news that a 24-year-old woman had filed a complaint against the Paris Saint-Germain full-back, Hiba Abouk and Achraf Hakimi's divorce became widely known.


The lady claimed Hakimi had sexually assaulted her when the well-known actress was abroad with their kids.

According to the French publication First Mag, Hiba demanded half of Hakimi's property and wealth; nevertheless, she was shocked to discover that he has nothing to his name.

Hakimi's mother, who has been collecting his wages on her bank account for numerous years, is the true recipient of his income and fortune.


Although the story has generated some buzz in Spain, France, and Morocco, it is also widely known that Abouk has her own riches and does not need to rely on her ex-husband's fortune to get by.

Many people have characterized the footballer in this story as intelligent on social media, while others have claimed it was a typical case of deja vu. Can this action be repeated elsewhere, though? 

In Sierra Leone, certain things are simply impossible. Don't try to emulate the Moroccan football player.   Try registering your property as a Pujehun man and using your mother's name instead of your own. 


In comparison to any other time spent, you will spend more time in court. Your brothers will hurry to court to fight for a piece of their mother's "property". To prove they are her sons, they will even demand that she provide DNA evidence.

In 1984, your sisters who were married in Falaba and Makeni will return to inherit their "rich" mother. Even some grandkids will leave their homes and come live with their grandmother while they wait for her to pass away so they may rush to court.



Even your maternal uncles would invent tales about how your father did not fully pay the dowry. To protect her from a "failed" marriage, they will demand to have their "dear" sister taken away.

Simply said, do not attempt this in Sierra Leone.

EU Budget Support Delay: Government Rejects Link to Judicial Case, Clarifies Reason for 2026 Disbursement Shift

Government Clarifies EU Budget Support Disbursement to Sierra Leone Note: According to the Information and Civic Education Minister.  The Government of Sierra Leone has clarified reports linking the European Union’s 2026 budget-support disbursement to ongoing discussions between Sierra Leone and the Kingdom of the Netherlands on judicial cooperation. According to the Government, the European Commission formally communicated its decision regarding the 2026 disbursement in July. The reasons provided, the Government said, related to the timing of Sierra Leone’s request to amend the Financing Agreement and the resulting difficulty of completing the required processes within the 2026 reporting cycle. As a result, the European Commission proposed rescheduling the 2026 and 2027 disbursements to 2027 and 2028 respectively, with the targets for the 2027 disbursement already agreed. The Government acknowledged that the postponement of the 2026 disbursement represents a setback, b...

Musa Tarawalie and the SLPP: What Could Be Behind the Growing Political Tensions?

Why Musa Tarawalie May Be Facing Friction Within the SLPP Opinion Note: This article represents my personal opinion and interpretation of recent political developments. It should not be taken as established fact or as a definitive account of the reasons behind the situation involving Hon. Musa Tarawalie and the Sierra Leone People’s Party (SLPP). The question of why Hon. Musa Tarawalie appears to be facing difficulties within the Sierra Leone People’s Party (SLPP) requires an understanding of the broader political calculations ahead of the 2028 general elections. In my view, the SLPP is determined to retain political power in 2028, and there have been indications of deliberate strategies aimed at achieving that objective through democratic and relatively smooth political processes. One of the arguments supporting this view is President Julius Maada Bio’s public assertion that, in Sierra Leone’s democratic political history, no political party has successfully won three...
