TAKE ACTION!!! TAKE ACTION!!! TAKE ACTION!!!

Sierra Leone is in one of its darkest phases. We are yet to eradicate poverty, and now drug trafficking and abuse is the order of the day. It is vivid that our leaders are turning a blind eye to it, as it is an open secret that it may be benefiting them.

I’m scared but I will do it. I believe that if your dreams don’t scare you, they are not worth fighting for. I am hoping for a drug-free Sierra Leone a country where hopes, dreams, and aspirations are fulfilled, not a nation where these get shattered, collapsed, or devastated at age 16, 17, 19, 20, or 21 etc.

Today, some of you are enjoying ill-gotten wealth from the lives of peasants. I cannot fathom how humans can be so careless toward the lives of others. Do you have to kill someone to make money? Must someone die before you push your agenda?

Don’t forget that whether the killing takes place directly or indirectly, you are still a murderer not found guilty by law, but by God. Those people you are hurting are vulnerable; don’t use that against them. The country is already hard to live in don’t make it a living hell. Or do you want to lead a ghost town?

If you are not benefiting from it, take action. They are someone’s sons, daughters, brothers, sisters, fathers, and mothers. They are depressed because depression is real. The majority of the youths see this as an opportunity to overcome depression. No, it is not.

If not now, when? It is time to stand together for a Drug-Free Sierra Leone for the future of our beloved country where young people can dream, live, and thrive in a safe environment.
