I cannot think of any reason why God has preserved me to this day, other than His Grace and Mercy.

I will continue to have fun memories of that great institution and often remember the words of former President Siaka Stevens: “Bo School has been a Trail Blazer in our country.”

I indulged in the politics of this country at a young age from running errands for some of our earlier politicians to political campaigns, first for Mr. Albert Margai in his failed attempt to enter the Sierra Leone Legislative Council as the Colony representative, and later for the Sierra Leone People’s Party – my great party SLPP!

In Makeni, I was Ex-Officio Member of the Town Council under the SLPP Chairmanship of Late Sylvanus Koroma – the father of Former President Ernest Bai Koroma.

I dined with Queen Elizabeth and met the President of France, Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher of the United Kingdom, and President Bill Clinton of the United States, and many other important statesmen and women.
