Vickie Remoe demonstrates the use of free speech to Zainab Sheriff and others.


Yesterday, I had the opportunity to watch Ms. #ZainabSheriff's emotional video posted on On April 10th. 😔😔😔

While I understood her frustration, I also noticed that she spread a lot of disinformation and misinformation about President Bio, President Koroma, and First Lady Mrs. Bio.

It is important to address the government as a whole when airing grievances, but it is not acceptable to call out individuals in government and accuse them of being killers without proof. It is also not right to accuse someone of being a party to something without evidence.

The police and military are a part of the government, and it is okay to use a general statement when addressing the government. However, if you call out someone by name and accuse them of murder on a public platform, you need proof to substantiate your claims. If you are a witness and you have evidence, then it is okay to call them out.

If you are quoting a source like Amnesty International (on lives lost on August 10 protest, Pa Demba Rd Prison riot, Tombo and Makeni incidents)make sure to cite those reports properly to protect your speech as already being in the public domain. No news sources or reports have said that the President has killed anyone or given orders for citizens to be killed. It is dangerous and wrong to spread such rumors (many of which come from deeply divisive political extremists).

We all have the right to free speech and expression, but it is our responsibility to use our platform in a lawful manner that does not harm others. As public figures, we should be careful about the language we use on and offline, especially during elections.

I hope that Ms. Zainab Sheriff is receiving all her rights and due process in police detention as a citizen of Sierra Leone. Counting on the professionalism of the Sierra Leone Police to put this matter to rest as soon as possible in a lawful manner so as to not further erode public trust between police, Gen Z and young Millennials who may not fully understand all the facts. 😔😔😔

As Plan to Blackmail the SLP Backfires, ACP Mira put to Shame

As Plan to Blackmail the SLP Backfires, ACP Mira put to Shame With abounds evidences in possession of this writer, it is crystal clear that Madam Mira Dubuya allegations of injustice and mistreatment are nothing but a well calculated and orchestrated ploy aim at dragging the SLP reputation into mud. Mira enrolled into the SLP force in 2006 and within a shortest time rose to a rank that others who have spent 20yrs plus are still grappling to reach. (But this should be a story for another day) There are series of missions for Police officers including Formed Police Unit (FPU), Individual Police Officers (IPO) and the P&D.  There is a policy in the SLP, that officers sent on peace mission abroad must pay certain amount back home to the force peacekeeping directorate as maintenance for training and other expenditures.  ACP Mira in 2021 through the SLP, went to the UN Police mission in the United States, under the P4 category where her annual salary was over ninty t...

Those Unimpressive Words From the Outgone US Ambassador, David Reimer

Those Unimpressive Words From the Outgone US Ambassador, David Reimer. By Kembay Sierra Leoneans and other non citizens residents in Sierra Leone were shocked over a statements made by the ousted United States of America Ambassador, David Reimer in a local Radio broadcast on Thursday 17th August, 2023. The ousted US Ambassador statements which all listeners viewed as adding insult to injury came at a time the country is still grappling with it political and economic stalemate just after the June 24 2023 general elections.  Ambassador Reimer statements in that broadcast exposed him of putting personal sentiments above diplomatic protocols in adherence to sovereignty.  Where in the world has Reimer seeing the opposition accepting defeat or has he forgotten that as we speak, Donald Trump is yet to accept the victory of Joe Biden in the 2020 US elections over allegations of irregularities? Ambassador Reimer if truly is a honest man should not have accepted his appointm...
