SLPP Nominates AYV Northern Region Correspondent For the Makeni Mayoral Seat

SLPP Nominates AYV Northern Region Correspondent For the Makeni Mayoral Seat

By Richmond B Tholley

Sierra Leone's governing party - the Sierra Leone People's Party has nominated a former journalist in the Northern province of Sierra Leone to bear the party's symbol for the Makeni City mayoral position in the next month's general election.

Amadu Kamara is a former journalist and regional manager of the African Young Voices (AYV) and has been selected by the SLPP to contest for the Mayorship of the Northern region's most populous city. 

Kamara spent twelve years in active journalism and has contributed to the development of not only the media. 

His joining the SLPP left the public with mixed feelings. 

Regarded as one of the popular media practitioners in the Northern region for years, Kamara will face Abu Bakarr Lamtales, another widely celebrated politician in Makeni City from the main opposition party- All Peoples Congress.

In most of his online campaign messages, Amadu promised to fix Makeni and make it a city to be proud of.

According to him, he's young and capable to change the narrative of politics in the city.  Amadu believes his party, the SLPP, is the only one to redeem Makeni. 

But the question asked by many is whether the people of Makeni will make Amadu their Mayor.

Dr. John Idriss Lahai, the whistle-blower for fake degrees is "Social Medially dead".

Dr. John Idriss Lahai, the whistle-blower for fake degrees is "Social Medially dead". If you recall, in the year 2022, Dr. John Idriss Lahai, a whistle-blower who exposed a phony degree, attracted the attention of every patriotic Sierra Leonean. His activity came to light after it was found that numerous Sierra Leoneans had received honorary PhDs from a Waterloo, Western Rural District postsecondary institution that was not accredited. Even well-known Sierra Leoneans, including the previous Inspector General of Police, were given honorary PhDs by the university known as Dominion University. When it was determined that the aforementioned university lacks the integrity to grant such a credential, the IG subsequently declined the offer. Dominion University PHD award ceremony From this point on, Dr. John Idriss Lahai began to expose Sierra Leoneans who, in his opinion, had earned questionable academic credentials. He then began to draw attention from people from all

A scammer from Sierra Leone has been captured by Guinean police.

  The person in the picture is actually Abdulai Jalloh, despite the fact that he is identified as a lecturer from Njala University under the name of Dr. Kanu. In early January of this year, he posted in a WhatsApp group in Kambia that he had scholarship chances and could help people acquire government pin codes, among other things, but that the offer was only valid for those from the South and east.   Someone sent him NLe1,500 for overseas study without realizing he was a scammer.  The scammer claimed that the entire application process for the scholarship cost 3,000 New Leone.  Later, the contacted person realized that he was not who he had been representing himself to be, and he immediately blocked the victim of his syndicate.  He once more perpetrated the same crime against Molai, another individual, and someone else.  In the pretense of an international scholarship, he demanded 3000 New Leones from each person. He accepted the cash and fled without telling them where he was.  The m
