Why Does Lumley Beach Have To Be So Dirty?

A million dollars for the right answer!! Quite frankly, I’m fed up with the dirty and grime on this beautiful beach.

I mean where can you find a long pristine beach like that? What comes to mind immediately is Miami Beach but boy what a contrast??

After a long while due to rain and general busy-ness, I went to the beach last weekend and same old story: beautiful but dirty – I mean man-made dirt comprising of: broken bottles, plastic bottles and plastic bags of every kind, needles, dog waste, condoms, stray dogs, rotten seaweed and much more.

I’m So Excited….Lumley To Be Transformed

Today, I went out to Godridge and low and behold! the “big guns” were out! I mean the heavy road road-remake equipment were out clearing the busy road from Juba all the way to Lumley Police station! I’m sooooooo excited! I mean Lumley will look brilliant once the road gets a new makeover. And if they tackle and widen that bridge to Juba that will be even better!

Can You Live On $1400 A Month In Sierra Leone?

This is a question posed by one of my visitors and to answer “YES” directly will be difficult as we all have different tastes and needs as well as creature comforts which we may see as a necessity.

To give some perspective – $1400 a month is much more than what 90% of the population earns so straight away you’ll be in the top tier of income earners.

HEARTBREAK for Ghana….

The morning after! I couldn’t even sleep properly.. all I could see was the lost penalty goal that lead to further penalty lossess!!! Twist and turn, twist and turn, had we done this, had we done that… hindsight is always illuminating. A loss is a loss and we lost! 4 years is a loooooooonnnngggg time! Ohhh Ghana!

How could we be so close yet so far!!! Anguish, anguish…my son cried like a baby (he’s 5 years) when the game ended and I must say, I shed tears few myself. He kept asking me why Ghana has been kicked out and for once, I was lost for words. How can one explain a loss so painful?

Well, I’m still proud of the Black Stars! but for me worldcup is over, can’t be bothered who wins now. I can only wait and hope for next time round.

BRAVO Ghana Black Stars! Still flying our Flag High! Long Live GHANA………..
