MAADA!!! What's the future now??? 10


Strasser to lead UDM?

As Bangura resigns from the political party he formed and led in SierraLeone, the United Democratic Movement party, there are rumours that Strasser might lead the UDM.


People have always suspected that the UDM is an offshoot of the APC. What might they be 'plotting' again? Would you advise Strasser to get involved in the 'dirty' politics practised in SL?


 If indeed there's any truth in the above, my advise to Strasser would be...don't allow anyone to use you. Focus on rebuilding your life. Getting involved in the politics practised in our dear SL will only set you back in the recovery process.

TRAUMATIC POLITICAL DISASTER HITS MAADA BIO AND HIS PAOPA CAMP!!

The term trauma can generally be caused by any event, action or sound that may bring serious shock, stress, depression or life-threats to a human being’s normal life. This can be in the form of, for example, losing a very hopeful political election to an opponent, the loss of a loved one, a horrible accident, war, a fire disaster, earthquake, even the sound of a gun or other objects, etc. Trauma can also affect people by their conscious or unconscious reflection on past horrible events, like reflecting on the 11 years of an uncivilized and brutal war that devastated our country Sierra Leone and left indelible scars on the minds of citizens.

In most of my recent writings, I have always not hesitated to remind Maada Bio and his tribal and regional-minded SLPP “Pa-O-Pa” that the political situation of the country would result in their facing a horrific traumatic political disaster that would be difficult to be treated by any specialist therapist. I also did not mince my words to remind Bio and his SLPP that they would have to seek the services of specialist psychiatrists, psychotherapists, and therapeutic counsellors because of the traumatic stress, the uncontrollable anger and the tormenting depression that they would experience after a dramatic hands-down defeat in the hands of the SLPP flag race, come next year, by Dr. Kandeh Yumkella...


Well, Bio and his supporters obviously thought I was joking, their usual reaction to serious things, including serious national issue. To prove me right, I am challenging sober-minded Sierra Leoneans to take a closer scrutiny of Maada Bio and his Pa-O-Pa cabal and you will see the anger and depression that are eating deep into their hearts and souls after Dr. Kandeh would be announced the unquestionable victory of the Flagbearer To tell you the truth, they are all seriously sick, inwardly and outwardly, and I suggest that the government increases the size of the Kissy Craze- Yard, the only psychiatric centre in Sierra Leone. Dr. Nahim, our only and hard-working psychiatrist, can help in that direction.

Another school of thought says that Maada Bio could not get hands on the millions of dollars he stole in Sierra Leone and deposited in foreign banks. He and a few of the SLPP executive members thought the only possibility of Bio getting his wealth back from foreign banks was by becoming a Head of State. According to the school of thought, Bio therefore made a deal with the said executive members that if he became the president of Sierra Leone and got his money back, he would share it with them. Nobody knows how true this is but rumours in Sierra Leone are usually built out of authentic happenings.

MAADA!!! What's the future now??? 9



The final nail on SLPP’s coffin as Maada Bio plots the down fall of SLPP

Defence forwarded by Maada Bio’s Campaign Team is evidence that a wave of joy is felt within the Pa-O-pa (PAOPA IS THE NICKNAME OF BIO FACTION IN SLPP) because the main opposition lost most of the contested bye-elections seats, especially the WARD in Kenema. Sadly, this has evidently shown that the 2012 Presidential aspirant is the orchestrator of the disunity within the main opposition Sierra Leone People’s Party.

It was visible here, just as confirmed by Head of Maada Bio’ MEDIA Campaign Team: Yusif Keketuma Sandi that 11 declared candidates for the Presidential ticket of the main opposition rallied behind the confirmed candidates for the bye-elections of wards in Kailahun, Kenema and Bonthe and constituency 107 in the Western Area Urban Districts. With one voice, they all fought to revive the prestige and integrity of their party’s famous symbol of a Palm Tree popularly known as the TORGPOI.

Conspiracy loomed as the power conscious 2012 Presidential loser disagreed with the party executive over award of TORGPOI party symbols. Maada Bio’s Campaign Team confirmed that Bio endorsed ‘popular’ candidates (Pa o Pa supporters) who was not given symbols and as a result the party had to lost. This is why they are pilling blames on the Chairman and Leader and also the Secretary General of the party. This wave of mockery by the team at the face of party structures clearly show the damaging extent at which Maada Bio could be another Charles Margai if denied the next Presidential ticket.

What should be of great concern is the conspiracy set by Maada Bio and his Pa O Pa supporters against the party executive. Surely, despite his purported popularity the confused scenario in the party thus leave Mr Bio as a ‘wandering soldier’. It is impossible for him to be the Leader and Secretary General of the party. Specifically, with limitations binding on him in Clause 5,a of the SLPP constitution.

It is explicit that the SLPP lost their councilor sit in Kenema because a Pa O Pa candidate was not given. Mindful of the mushroomed changing tide, Mr Bio should have collaborated with others to support the Party’s candidate. Especially when he was on a national tour that had the greatest turnout in that very same Ward 034 neighborhood – during his last visit here in Sierra Leone. 

Indications like this clearly points fingers that Maada Bio and his Pa O Pa supporters endorsed the Independent Candidate that won the sit. This is contravening the ideals of a political party and must be treated seriously. Maada Bio should not be allowed to become an outlaw.

The fact the 11 candidate supported the course of the party and Maada Bio being against them all show that Bio is the troublemaker in the opposition party. Thus, reducing the essence of it being called a Political Party but rather a dictatorial pressure group under leadership of just one man.

MAADA!! What's the future now?? 8


MICHAEL JACK MUANA - Athens of West Africa ( Facebook Post 18/11/15) digs his heels in abject DINIABILITY!!
{courtesy: Facebook post}

JACK MUANA WRITES:

Dear Ladies and gentlemen, 

I want to recall your attention to Dr Sylvia Olayinka Blyden's analysis after the bye election in constituency 107, political analysts will attest that the average Sierra Leonean is no longer interested in politics or does not believe in our political system.
 
Sylvia and her party should be thinking about why nearly 21,000 people failed to turn up on voting day in constituency 107!  Can we predict that the death toll in the constituency during the ‘Ebola Surge’ was very high? Alternatively, can we say the figure for 2012 election was cooked up by the APC?
 
Wherever SLPP’s predicament lies, this political scientist will argue that we should not blame PAOPA for SLPP's poor performance but the blatant disregard for procedures and processes by elected party officials (Namely Chief Kampen III and Suliaman Banja Tejan Sie).
 
We all need to learn a lesson from constituency 107 to know that politics is a number game! Give the majority what they deserve so that democracy can flourish!
 
Until SLPP starts accepting the reality, we will be postulating till we all go to our graves because APC is ready to wreck that country, you and I will continue to cry but we cannot do anything because of "bad heartism"! This bye election result shows that the other flag bearer aspirants are just noise makers! Where are they?
 
Although Dr Sylvia Olayinka Blyden is trumpeting APC’s victory, this analyst strongly believes that she will secretly inform his boss that the people are not happy with the current regime.
 
If her claim of PAOPA being behind SLPP poor performance in that bye election is true, then Sylvia and her party should be worried. Please concentrate on your party and leave Valentine Strasser to fight his own battle.
 
Thus it is the hope of our intra party opponents to work in collaboration with the USUAL SUSPECT/s such SYLVIA to allow them to annihilate us with responding in multiple measures. Such a though is a thing of the past. No one will be allowed this time around to trample on our democratic rights with RECIPROCATING in QUADRUPLE MEASURES. 
 
We are proud of what Rtd Brigadier General Julius Bio has done for Sierra Leone. Higher percentage of Sierra Leoneans appreciate his contribution to democracy in that nation. So please back off ! You are hereby warned!!!



COMMENTS:
Aloyisiys Momoh:
Mike, if we are continuing the blame game, it's a shame. Lessons are meant to be learnt from rather than cast aspersions. The blame game is a defeatist attitude. When people like you hide from the truth, who should the masses trust. When you call a spade a trowel, then you are in for a hell of senseless digging and baling. You, me and every other vuvuzela within the frame of our party has deviated from the truth. No one person is bigger than the party, if you and I think our guy is the bomb, then let our guy go carry his or her own weight and form his or her own party. Justice peace and unity...everything else bugger off!!!

Daniel S Morlu
Without Maada no slpp . 
Una must respect we paopa

Aloysius Momoh
Your sermon is not worth hearing, if you think so, as I clearly mentioned go form your own party or stop being divisive.

Abu Agbata Kallon
You can best advice your kky guy to go form his party to which  he could be no. 1 on d registration list ok . 

Sia Mary Kamara
Abu Agbata Kallon, KKY will never leave SLPP to form another party because his own biological father were the founding father's of th st great party that you Paopa people now think belongs to Maada Bio.  Telling KKY to go from another party is like telling a male child to change his surname to another or telling him to reject his family household. If someone must form another party,  then it should be Maada Bio.

Israel Ojekeh Parper Snr
I see the inter fighting within the SLPP is hotting up. This begs the question, "MAADA !! What's the future now?"

Michael Jack Muana
The future is to rally behind the most popular he/she candidate that can take us to StateHouse . 
Nothing less nothing more in my humble view .

Israel Ojekeh Parper Snr
Sorry Michael- your view is blinded by dark shadows so you "Cannot see the woods for the trees"!

Michael Jack Muana
Haha ! I beg to differ bro :) is the blatant truth either SLPP take it or leave it ..
Majority rules count in any democratic setting .
Hence with the voice of the majority there lies the mandate.

Israel Ojekek Parper Snr
MANDATE??! Ouch!! I've just Buck my toe! Looks like you are prepared to engage your energies into one ginormous  stunt of self disbelief. I will not comment further- press on Micharl✈️

Michael Jack Muhana
Exactly cause you can't discredit the truth .
Majority rule keep thinking about it .

Michaeł Jack Muana
People have to stop!
Why do they want to eliminate Julius Maada Bio? 
Why?

Immediately after the 2012 elections some people set on this perilous journey to exterminate one man - Julius, from the political lime light. And everyday it has been one drama after the other. 

Resolution 3 to facilitate Maada's court case, no, they cried foul. But resolution 50% +1 they will happily propose. What marries both instances is the corosive hate and unlimited passion to eliminate Maada. And so everyday we wake up to new imaginary storms in tea cups. 

Somebody has to stop this thing.

Stop!
Maada is not able to win state house, they say. Full Stop! And when you dare ask why, they become prophets and preach stories. 

Maada is only a candidate, like any of the other flag bearer hopefuls. What is different about him? He tried once, he did not win but he is now well marketed. Fact!

Buhari is a northern Housa. The Yorubas of Western Nigeria and the Ebos of the East did not like him for many obvious reasons. But he won.

The same way Ernest Bai Koroma of Nothern Sierra Leone was not liked by people in the south and east of our country. But with determination, even though he had lost two times, he soldiered on and won 2012 regardless our advantages as party in power. 

Maada lost 2007 to Berewa, he supported Berewa. Why should Berewa, who negotiates peace within APC not apply his skills in his own party? Instead what we hear is, he hosts all the people who wish to eleminate Bio in a night meeting at his house. 

Look! Bio is our only chance right now, and APC knows this. They know if they put Ernest Koroma, Bio will trash him badly. If they put a new face, he will never match Bio's popularity. They are in this dilemma, and we want to answer their question and clear their huddle. You put a new face now to represent SLPP, and see how Ernest will trash him. Or worst, new face against new face, plus the advantage of incumbency, APC will trash us like booboo. They know this well. And so, they keep Ali Bangura's case in court as the last resort. If you fail to eleminate your own brother, they will try to bar him through the constitutional review process, but if they fail, which they will regardless Bernadette Lahai's support in parliament, they will aim to keep us in court and leave us as a party legally out of the race. Maybe Ali Bangura will prefer that, and maybe JOB, Andrew Keili and Yumkella too will prefer that. I said maybe, stop looking at me like that! What have I done?

And so Jaiah Koroma who supports Andrew Keili hurriedly removed Maada's chair from the first NEC meeting aftwr 2012 even though this man still had a case in court. I don't want to dwell on those theories about how some played games around the 2012 elections. Well, what ever it was, that was to the advantage of Obai, he got his second term, which is a norm anyway in Africa, but which the same plotters blame on Maada now, as a weakness. What? 

Madness in Japan. No more Mazda in Sierra Leone. Me papa nor de buy Mazda again. 

The youth at the party head quarters were there when JOB was chairman. They fell out. They are used to being their, or maybe they were encouraged by JOB himself; dem days. But as with all relationships, they fell out. And they naturally transferred their love to Maada, chiefly because Maada was under the beam as the flag bearer then. In fact, Maada does not know many of them. But now, they have not switched their love yet, and they will not soon until another actor falls under the limelight. For them, perhaps they are fighting what Rasterferians might call a "righteous battle". And the smoke bellows over their heads. You call it what you care, they don't care. 

JOB and others quickly called them thugs and linked them to the laughable theory that Maada is a violent man. Seemed to tie up well in some people's minds, but no, not all. In fact, the majority thinks otherwise. I think we should manage their exit carefully, keeping their dignity intact and making them feel loved. Mr. Yumkella will need them when he falls under the limelight tomorrow. Let us collectively manage their exit, if you blame Maada, they will only see him as their saviour, and that you are their enemy. This I not chemistry, no, this is not agriculture. This is the science of the dynamics of human behaviour.

Now, other innocent people have fallen victim to their anger. They are now very suspicious of everyone who they perceive to be anti Bio, even honest challengers like Yumkella. I really deplore the way he was treated at the party office. Mr. Bio himself knows that was not good for our party, not even for him. We were all embarrassed first as party members, and secondly as supporter of Maada Bio. We knew they will blame paopa. But heaven knows that the youth at the party office, although they support paopa, they are not a creation of Paopa. Paopa appealed to them to behave well just before Mr. Yumkella's visit. Many of us saw the video showing Pa Abass Bundu's passionate appeal to the guys at the party office prior to Yumkella's visit, but some of you prefer the blame game. And Mr Yumkella likes it too now, especially after APC barred him from going up the provinces. That's not our fault. That's the result of some bad blood between them. And to hurt him even more, APC allowed Maada. 

We, as always, remained the innocent victims up for blames. Ay God, help we now.

Maada's tour was a shock even to APC. You remember how they rushed to Kono? Well, we followed the rules, they had the option to disallow Maada's tour, but for fear of the backlash, and the attractive advantage perhaps to hurt our brother Yumkella, combined together to lull them into giving us the go ahead. And maybe they thought it would further deepen the bad blood within our party and increase the dislike of Maada. But they were shocked beyond expectations, and the opportunity we had sent a strong message to both APC and SLPP. 

I will continue later, I know you are tired of reading this long essay already.

Israel Ojekeh Parper Snr
This your last piece Michael is confirmation that you are 'LOST IN THE WOODS'. Your arrows are flying aimlessly so you are unable to hit any target: please take the blindfolds off.

FRACTURED SLPP: WHAT FUTURE FOR SIERRA LEONE? 

ANDREW KEILI SPEAKS TO TV 2AFRICA - a54


After spending more than a decade in power, the Sierra Leone Peoples Party lost the presidency in 2007.  The party then retreated into opposition as a fractured party, cash-strapped and bereft of practical ideas and powerless against President Ernest Bia Koroma’s alleged transgressions.  But Andrew Keili, one of the leading opposition leaders, says given the opportunity, he will bring about fundamental changes.  Keili recently spoke to Africa 54’s Paul Ndiho about the plans for his country.
