2011 – 7 Things On My Wish List For Sierra Leone
Here’s my winge/wish list for 2011 in no order of importance. In fact all of them are important and will go a long way to help improve the general image of Sierra Leone.
#1. Traffic & Bad Driving
I can guarantee you most drivers on the road don’t have any formal driving training. Oh yes they may have a driver’s license but that doesn’t mean they can read signs. I guess one can argue, there aren’t that many signs …nevertheless educated drivers make better drivers. People scratch cars (especially ocadas) drive in the opposite direction on one way street, overtake on the right (inside) instead of left, all sorts.
The worst is when some people decide not to wait in queue during traffic jams just like everyone else, but rather try to overtake on the opposite side of the road. More often than not they meet an oncoming car and a fight ensues making the jam worse etc etc. I can list a catalogue of sins compounded by the point below
#2. Old Cars
These are the greatest causes of traffic EVERRRRR… grrrrhhhhh… 
The roads are being done so we all expect delays but this almost always compounded by a broken down vehicle sitting in the middle of the road somewhere. Suddenly a journey that’s going to take you 30minutes more will now possibly have 1 hour on top! Taxis and poda-podas are the biggest culprits.
I say to the the government, instead of taxing brand new vehicles ridiculous amounts, old cars should be taxed more than new ones so that Freetown does not become the capital of throw-away ready-for- recycling cars which hamper our day to day activities.

Government To Scale Down 50th Anniversary Celebration From $25Million
Why am I not surprised?? I came across the article the Premier News newspaper printed on January 14, 2011.
Apparently, celebrations will be reduced drastically because of inadequate funds to implement the project. The information and communication Minister Alhaji Ibrahim Ben Kargbo made the disclosure on Thursday 13th Jan, 2011 while addressing the press at the ministry’s weekly press conference in Freetown.
I can’t type the whole article here,

Happy New Year From Sierra Leone!
Happy New Year to all my family, friends, business associates and all who visit this site! May all your dreams be fulfilled this year, 2011.
I can’t believe 2010 has already passed. Boy how time flies. It seems like I just blinked and it’s gone!
Here in Sierra Leone, it’s been an ALL night party and MONSTER traffic…ARRRGHHHH. Boy it took as more than 1 hour from Atlantic Bar to Lumley roundabout last night! As I write this morning, Lumley is quieter in contrast to the party revelry that carried on till the early hours of this morning! Boy people know how to party and the beach does offer the perfect setting!
