April 27, 2025, will mark the 64th anniversary of Sierra Leone's independence from British colonial rule on April 27, 1961.
Deliberate wrongs inflicted on the people of Sierra Leone by our two lead political parties, the SLPP and the APC, have brought our people into deep suffering and decline, and our once bright country has been dragged down into abject backwardness and darkness.

Walmart Implements Unusual Anti-Theft Measures by Locking Meat in Metal Cages Due to Rising Beef Crime. Each package was fastened with a locking clasp that requires store staff to unlock it using a special device. If not removed, the device triggers alarms at the store’s exits, prompting users on social media to troll Walmart with memes.
"Instead of making food affordable, they make it imprisoned," a user noted.
Another, identifying as Canadian, said: "I think you guys have lost your way."
A new phenomenon has emerged in Freetown — The School Thanksgiving Celebration.
“Sierra Leone will thrive when we care for her as much as we care for our alma mater” — Basita Michael.
The concept of "outdoing each other in good works" will continue encouraging them to consider how they can stimulate one another toward love and good deeds. They will continue with selfless service and unwavering commitment to the well-being of students in these schools.
Long may these celebrations continue, and let us as Sierra Leoneans endeavor to emulate these associations in our deeds in other spheres of life, especially the political sphere. Basita is right to note that “Sierra Leone will thrive when we care for her as much as we care for our alma mater.”
The Prince of Wales School in Freetown, Sierra Leone, was inaugurated by the then Prince of Wales on April 6, 1925. This prestigious institution was the first government secondary school in Freetown and the first in Sierra Leone to emphasize the teaching of Science and Mathematics. It attracted students not only from Sierra Leone but also from other West African countries.
Because of the calendar, Social Security recipients who get Supplemental Security Income benefits get one check in April, but two payments in May.
Sierra Leone's enduring struggles are rooted in a long and troubled history that stretches back centuries. From the oppressive grip of colonialism to the challenges of post-independence, leaders have continuously twisted the truth to advance their agendas. This betrayal has not only persisted but has become entrenched within the very institutions of the country. Each institution—be it political, judicial, or administrative—harbors its own set of moles that undermine the system.
The entanglement of political figures, security forces, and administrative officials with narcotics traffickers has not only facilitated the cartel’s operations but has also eroded public trust in democratic governance and jeopardized both national and international security.
Politics and History
Donald Trump looms large over Saturday's election. As with Canada's election, wannabe Trump opposition Leader and Liberal Party Peter Dutton was trashed in a landslide, losing his parliamentary seat. The coalition is on track to suffer the biggest election loss in decades. Labor Party Prime Minister Anthony Albanese won his second term. The latest left-leaning leader to achieve a comeback victory as President Trump roils global markets and upends international affairs.
“Our government will choose the Australian way, because we are proud of who we are,” Albanese told a cheering crowd at Labor headquarters. “We do not need to beg or borrow or copy from anywhere else.”

In a remarkable turnaround fueled by U.S. President Donald Trump, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney’s Liberal Party has won the federal election. In his victory speech, Carney emphasized the importance of unity in response to threats from Washington. He stated that the mutually beneficial relationship between Canada and the U.S. that has existed since World War II has come to an end. "We have moved past the shock of American betrayal, but we must never forget the lessons," he said. Carney warned that America desires our land, resources, water, and control over our country, adding that these are not mere idle threats.
"President Trump is attempting to weaken us so that America can dominate us. That will never happen," he declared. However, he acknowledged that our world has fundamentally changed.
The diplomat added: “There’s a lot that could be reformed, but you could give infinite monkeys infinite typewriters, and they would come up with something better than that.”
Some of the most startling shifts outlined in the purported order address how the U.S. approaches Africa. Under changes proposed within it, much of the State Department’s work on the region would be farmed out to the White House and all “non-essential embassies and consulates in sub-Saharan Africa” would be closed by Oct. 1, 2025. A special envoy for African affairs reporting directly to the National Security Council would replace the African affairs bureau.
The exclusions apply to smartphones, laptop computers, hard drives and computer processors and memory chips. Those popular consumer electronics items generally aren’t made in the US.
"It's painful to see what a ruinous decision from back in the 1920s being repeated. Now insofar as he's using these tariffs to get various strategic things settled and that he's satisfied with that," Sowell said, "but if you set off a worldwide trade war, that has a devastating history. Everybody loses because everybody follows suit, and all that happens is you get a great reduction in international trade."
The 94-year-old Sowell retired from writing his syndicated column in 2016 at the age of 86. Conservatives and libertarians have called for him to receive the Presidential Medal of Freedom for his work on economics and public policy over the course of his career.
Robert Prevost, a 69-year-old member of the Augustinian religious order, has taken the name Leo XIV as the new pope. Born in Chicago, he dedicated his career to ministry in Peru. As the 267th pontiff, he now leads the Catholic Church during a time of global turmoil and conflict.

The Holy See Press Office said the pair exchanged Easter greetings in a private meeting that lasted for a few minutes.
In February, Pope Francis warned that the Trump administration's effort to dramatically ramp up deportations was driving a "major crisis." The pope also appeared to criticize Vance directly for claiming that Catholic doctrine justified such policies. In response, Vance said he would continue to defend his views.

The A.1. sauce brand capitalized on the blunder and posted on social media that "every school should have access to A.1."

For over 60 years, Dr. Watson gave unparalleled service for the love of our country and its people. His study and preservation of our nation’s history and heritage were grounded in a profound understanding of the value of our past. Indeed, his efforts have helped remind us that in a time of much global uncertainty, knowing where we came from ensures we never forget who we are, and what we are capable of. I know with absolute certainty that his work has enriched our collective identity as Bajans, inspired generations, and strengthened the foundations upon which our future will be built.

The Peralta S is a one-off supercar crafted by GFG Style, an Italian design firm established by Giorgetto and Fabrizio Giugiaro.
This car is made predominantly from mirror-polished aluminum, featuring a unique front-hinged canopy for entry instead of traditional doors. Certain parts, like the side sills and spoilers, are made from exposed carbon fiber. The design of the Peralta S takes inspiration from the 1972 Maserati Boomerang concept, which was also designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro.
It’s very profound and even a little bit scary — because it’s happening very quickly, and there is no upper bound, Gates told Brooks.
Over the next decade, advances in artificial intelligence (AI) will mean that humans will no longer be needed “for most things” in the world, says Bill Gates.

Yet, Maxwell Chikumbutso, a self-taught inventor from Zimbabwe, remained resolute. He has now unveiled a technology that could revolutionize the globe and disrupt various industries in the process! Introducing the Kaiyi Saith, an electric car that requires no charging, offers an unlimited range, emits zero emissions, and can even power your home. But that’s just the beginning.

Certain places are more responsible than others for tipping the scale in favor of poor health.
One reason why many people in McAllen are overweight is because they don’t exercise very much, as the city has the highest share of physically inactive adults. That may not be entirely their fault, considering McAllen has the second-lowest percentage of residents who live close to parks or recreational facilities.
Obesity is becoming more and more prevalent in the U.S., and it’s costing us big time. In the most overweight and obese cities, residents often lack easy access to healthy food and recreation opportunities, so investing in those areas should help improve people’s diets and exercise regimens, and reduce the financial burden overall.
If you think education is expensive, then try ignorance.

Sometimes in life, one experiences a seminal moment that opens one's mind to new vistas. I had one of these encounters in the early 80s in Lagos, Nigeria. During this time, I was working for a major airline based in Lagos, and little did I know that not too far away from the airport hotel in Ikeja, Lagos, I was a stone's throw away from one of Africa's premier musicians. Fela Kuti was the self-proclaimed "King of African Music."

In 2023, Kudus signed for English Premier League side West Ham United for just under 40 million pounds. Money well spent since he soon impressed with some spectacular goals becoming a fast favorite of the West Ham fans. Not surprisingly, West Ham is having a hard time in trying to keep hold of their young Ghanaian superstar. Teams such as Arsenal, Liverpool, and other European giants are looking closely into the prospect of signing him when he becomes a free agent next year. As a result, West Ham has slapped a £100 Million-pound transfer fee on his head, and it would seem that many teams are willing to pay the price.

Soccer is the world's number one sport. Fans flock from all over the world to watch in big cities and in small villages to see their heroes in action. Influential players such as Pele, Maradona, Renaldo, and Messi have thrilled us. True fans live and die with their team's experiences in both victory and defeat. Many fans have become disenchanted with the state of the game. Astronomical costs for tickets and merchandise have skyrocketed over the years. This pricing has left many ordinary fans unable to attend games or even offer support by purchasing a team shirt. The European governing body (UEFA) has been even less conspicuous in the big money grab.

In the UK, the general rule states that owning a house anywhere in the world usually disqualifies you from being eligible for or retaining council housing, also referred to as social housing. This type of housing is designed to provide affordable accommodations for individuals in need who cannot afford private housing. Additionally, you must have a low income or limited savings to qualify.
