Sheik Alhaji Mohamed Omodu Kamara, widely known as Jagaban, a prominent philanthropist and key figure in the main opposition All People’s Congress Party (APC), has generously donated a sum of Le 40 million to St Joseph’s Agricultural Secondary School in Blama, small Bo Chiefdom, Kenema District.
The donation, made on Tuesday, February 20, 2024, is specifically designated for the school’s annual Sports Meet events and other social activities, aiming to alleviate financial pressure on parents. Parents of the pupils have expressed deep gratitude to Jagaban, hailing his generosity as a significant relief from the financial burdens they face. They urge other natives from Blama to emulate Jagaban’s example and support their community school.
The impact of Jagaban’s philanthropy extends beyond this recent gesture. Parents commend his ongoing support, which includes previous contributions towards building the school fence and the monthly stipend payment for over two years to teachers not on the government payroll, among other financial aids.
Mr. Walter Sam, the Principal for the Senior School, and Madam Alice Dawah, the Principal for the Junior School, have conveyed their profound gratitude for Jagaban’s continuous assistance.
They highlight the positive influence of Jagaban’s selfless actions, emphasizing the inspiration it provides for calls urging others in Blama to join in supporting education and community development.
Do our politicians really need to show off with such gestures? It’s a shame that what ever little they do for their constituents becomes the headlines of the news media. I don’t know if they understand the interpretation of the biblical verse which warns us about not letting our left hand hears what our right hand does.
If the people of Blama recognised the good gesture the people of that place didn’t have the right to say it? Jagaban is doing extremely well Nation such kind of personality needs to be Celebrated why some people have narrowed thinking God bless u Jagaban may Allah m

Fodie Paul Oniel Kamara – every man has a way of spending their money whether it being publicized or kept secret. When you spend yours, keep it away from your left hand not to see. His money his choice on how it should be known to the public.
