Opinion
By Tony Bee, Sydney, Australia
Firstly, as a peace and development loving Sierra Leonean, especially because of my poor, suffering, powerless and defenceless brothers and sisters in the country, who tend to become victims of the country’s enemies of peace, progress and development (the Devil Incarnate so-called Sierra Leoneans) whose clandestine comments and writings are always against the country, I must say a big thank you to the Almighty God for eradicating that invisible enemy of humanity’s earthly survival called Ebola virus in our country.
I would also like to thank all true and honest patriotic peace, love, unity, progress and development oriented Sierra Leoneans who stood firm to see that the obnoxious Ebola disease is defeated and also the international community for being on our side during our country’s historic debacle.
Special thanks go to President Ernest Bai Koroma and his APC government for doing all it could to see that the Ebola crisis in the country becomes a thing of the past. Whether the ungrateful critics of his leadership and government accept that or not he, President Koroma, is worth the praise because he was the Field Marshal of our battle against Ebola together with his able lieutenants.
Despite all the odds, President Koroma was all over the corners of the country to empower, motivate and energize the general masses through the process of general social mobilisation in the entire country.
In fact there was a time when some patriotic Sierra Leoneans expressed great concern about President Koroma’s being at the war front in the fight against Ebola, especially in the hot spot areas of the virus where people were dying everyday. But he didn’t relent nor did he order a retreat. He exhibited a truly patriotic attitude and honest nationalistic leadership qualities. Such good qualities of leadership indicate a relentlessly hard working president and not an armchair leader.
Therefore, it is always a good thing to give praise where praise is due and criticize when necessary as I used to say. In view of that it is also nice for human beings to be grateful because gratefulness is always associated with God’s aura, according to the two Holy Books, the Bible and the Quran, especially for those who put their trust in God while ungratefulness in many cases is normally associated with Satan, (the devil ) particularly for those who put their trust in their satanic knowledge and understanding that is always deceiving them.
However, may the souls of our fallen brothers and sisters who succumbed to the attack of the killer disease rest in perfect peace. I encourage the families who lost their loved ones to have courage. They should take such loss as the will of God.
When GOD says yes, no man can say NO. In view of that they should not mourn or cry like unbelievers.They should not also listen to unpatriotic satanic politicians who always stand by to make use of any misfortune that may take place in the country for their own unpatriotic selfish advantage, especially by trying to capitalize on such mishaps as a tool to incite, ignite or promote unrest in the country to achieve their wicked, egoistic political ambition at the expense of the nation.
In view of that I am appealing to all peace, love, unity, progress and development oriented Sierra Leoneans to wage war against the human Ebola Sierra Leonean diseases in the country like how all of us stood firm in diverse ways in fighting against that invisible enemy of mankind in the country.
As you can read from some of the writings, comments or utterances of some wicked enemies of peace, the so-called Sierra Leoneans in and out of the country, you will immediately realize that the Ebola virus killer disease is gone but we are still left with some human Ebola viruses ( wicked Sierra Leoneans) among us who always want to see the country on fire, especially those who think if their kith and kin are not in power the country should not be in peace and no development should take place.
Many of such na๏ve, unpatriotic Sierra Leoneans will pretend to be talking, seeking or fighting for the interest of the common people in the country, while under their sleeves, they want to incite or instigate violence, promote war again by urging other citizens to rise against the nation.
At the same time some of them live abroad enjoying a better life with with their families while calling for war in our country that will destroy the lives of the innocent poor masses. They will not go back home to perish with our poor people but will stay in their foreign homes, even though they (wicked Sierra Leoneans abroad) know that such evil things like violence, war and brutal rule are NOT the answers to the country’s problems but will only bring in more suffering to our poor people in the country that they are purporting to be fighting for. But because of hatred, grudge and selfish political ambition they just don’t care about such consequences on the poor people’s lives.
In view of that, my good people, especially the youths who such demonic Ebola Sierra Leoneans always use as tools of stupidity to satisfy their unpatriotic diabolical violence and war plans, please SAY NO to them when they come around next time.
Tell such inhuman Ebola-Sierra Leoneans that you are no longer ready or willing to go to the bush to go and eat all sorts of rubbish because of war monger politicians who want political power by all means, particularly at the detriment of your precious lives and that of your children, while they will fly to Guinea, Liberia, Australia, Europe and America with their wives and children leaving you killing one another.
Therefore, I would like you to know that if you allow them to brainwash you, particularly by manipulating your intelligence through the use of tribal and regional tools at your own expense, you are really going to suffer again a lot.
Presently there is no hiding place or refuge or safe haven in the world to run to, especially for warlords. There are wars in many parts of the world these days. In view of that a number of Western countries are making frantic efforts to close all their borders against migrants, refugees and asylum seekers.
However, if you think I am a story teller, please reflect on what happened in South Africa a few months ago when some of the citizens of that country rose against immigrants, migrants, refugees and asylum seekers in their country. If you are also familiar with international events or current affairs you will also know about what is going on in some of the African and Asian countries which migrants, refugees and asylum seekers normally use as transit points to Europe.
Some of the mentioned countries are now fighting frantically to put all efforts together to close their borders to prevent migrants, refugees and asylum seekers from entering their countries. And the recent terrorists attacks in France have also added insult to injury making it difficult for refugees and asylum seekers to enter or gain refugee status or asylum status in Australia, Europe and North America.
Moreover, according to the news, if everything goes well, the Western World is planning to give lump sums of money to all African countries to develop their countries by providing employment opportunities for their citizens in order to stop them from risking their lives in the Mediterranean Sea through the use of boats to go to Europe and seek greener pasture.
All the above alleged proposed strategies by the western world are indicators that if you think you can make your country ungovernable because of hatred, jealousy, grudge, tribalism, and regionalism and above all because of political, selfish power ambition, your people will have nowhere to go to seek refuge or asylum. If they do they may face the wrath and hostility of the citizens of the countries they may want to go to seek refuge or asylum.
In view of that, you poor Sierra Leoneans, particularly the youths, if you allow Ebola Sierra Leonean politicians who are enemies of peace and development to use you to destroy or destabilize the country again, you will have NO PLACE to go to seek safety or refuge again.
Before I conclude, I would like you to know this open secret that many of the corrupt and wicked unpatriotic so-called senior civil servants and also wicked corrupt unpatriotic power hungry politicians have two or more different passports and enough money to use or spend to escape from the country in case of any serious crisis, God forbid it, while you cannot even afford to have one passport or will find it very difficult to obtain one. So if YOU allow them to misuse you, you are doing yourself more harm than good.
