People who bleach their skin rarely seem to have stable relationships.The sad part is that very few people genuinely appreciate bleached skin. Personal observation.
Good morning!!

A month after the 2023 elections, I quietly stepped away from everything relating to politics. I think only a few members of my family knew about my decision. Let me explain this clearly because people can easily misunderstand messages like this.

I decided never to be actively involved in politics again. I could still remain a supporter of the SLPP, but I no longer wanted to participate in political arguments, attend meetings or rallies, or involve myself in day-to-day political activities.

Virtually, there are over 3 million Sierra Leoneans who support the SLPP, but less than 100 thousand are actively involved in politics and party matters. I wanted to be among the majority who simply support and vote for the SLPP without engaging in active politics.

The reason behind my decision was simple. I may be wrong, but I strongly believed that politics could stop me from becoming the person I truly want to be in life, especially coming from a financially poor background. If you are poor and want to survive in politics, many people believe the only way is to compromise your integrity, allow yourself to be controlled foolishly, become a shield for powerful politicians, and engage in things that go against your values.

I can never compromise my morality or credibility. Since I was unwilling to involve myself in such things, I felt I would only continue wasting my time in politics while people wrongly assumed I was benefiting like others.

So why did I return to politics?

Dr. David Moinina Sengeh’s involvement in active politics gave me hope to return.

Some people around him noticed that I had stopped speaking about governance and politics, and they informed him because I was once considered one of the strongest voices defending the government and the SLPP.

Dr. Sengeh reached out and engaged me. During our meeting, the only thing he asked of me was to help disseminate the work of his Boss, the President of Sierra Leone. That is completely different from what some people think. Contrary to the assumptions out there, Dr. Sengeh never called me onboard to promote any personal political ambition. He is not like some politicians who only engage influential media voices for personal promotion.

So, if you see me today supporting Dr. Sengeh to eventually succeed his Boss, it is not because he instructed me to do so. It is because I genuinely believe he can uphold the strong foundation laid by President Julius Maada Bio and continue to deliver selflessly for Sierra Leone.

Another reason is this: Dr. Sengeh is absolutely corruption-free. I believe this is partly because he entered politics already as a successful young man with global recognition and connections. Honestly, if I had achieved the level of success and international exposure he had before entering politics, I probably would never have joined Sierra Leonean politics.

There are many positive qualities I can mention about Dr. Sengeh and why his presence inspired me to return to political engagement.

So, what am I really trying to say?

I have never had luck in politics, and I do not benefit financially from politics. In fact, I often spend my own money defending my political beliefs and principles.

If you see me today speaking about politics or actively engaging in political discussions, it is simply because Dr. Sengeh is currently at the forefront of active politics. If he were not involved, my direct involvement in politics would already be over.
