Totally wasted time from Tonkolilians. That big fat man can’t do nothing for you. He is just trying to burn his fat around the country with hypocrite setting fire between the north and south people, they deed it before and they are doing it still in different countries. That’s their main goal divide and conquer. There’s a lot of people suffering just at the door Way of America, they do absolutely nothing for them instead they building Walls against them, millions are sleeping on the Streets of America without food or medical support. This are facts. So Sierra Leoneans people please Stop feeling inferior before those types of hypocrite people and start telling your problems to them, because it’s making no sense. They are listening to laugh behind your back. Most of you handling position in Sierra Leone must stop be littles in front of white people because they don’t have what you have and they don’t know what know. Stop telling your secrets to those hustlers. Think and grow rich with your citizens. No westerns will stand to see you grow rich or want to see Sierra Leoneans citizens get out of poverty none. Sierra Leone and it people don’t need no donations or credits from no one we have all it’s takes to feed our selves, build our nation and help foreigners as well.
Surely, he is not proving neutral. How many times he has been on the otherside backing them with all the atrocities.
