‼️The unique royal disposition of the Sesay dynasty.

By: Ibrahim Jallloh - (Jalllomy)✍️

Death swopped in the royal dynasty of the Sesay ruling clan and brought to an abrupt end the rule and reign of the late PC and Hon. Member of Parliament the late Hon. Kandeh Wusu Sesay.

It was dramatic, shocking and gripped his family members, friends and subjects in utter disbelief and awe.

The late Paramount Chief has been sick but on intermittent bases for a while until lately when he was flown to India on account of our collapsed medical regime in Sierra Leone.

The late Paramount Chief was a combination of a cluster of things that typified or characterized the good life, the cheerfulness of humanity and the humourous nature of man mostly lacking in traditional African leaders. He was down to earth, unassuming, over consultative, compassionate, philanthropic, and a master of the art of lowliness and humility.

Not suprisinly, he inherited these traits and identity symbols from his late father, PC Kandeh Wusu Sesay 1. His father was peaceful and harmless to an unpardonable fault. He suffered series of persecution from the late dictator Thaimu Bangura who very deliberately and intentionally unleashed the first circle of genocide in Sanda in the early 80s.

The greatest strength of the Sesay dynasty is the strength and courage to embrace, empathize, engage, and forgive. They sometimes see themselves as subjects rather than masters when in power.

We will surely miss the late Paramount chief. Nature does not provide vacuum but I see on surfacing here.

May his Soul rest in peace and may have the wisdom to find a suitable and soothing replacement.

Senegal, first African team to beat England, but not first to score three goals

By: Alusine Rehme Wilson Claim: Soccer World HQ, in a Facebook post , claimed that Senegal is the first African team to beat England and the first to score three goals against them. Verdict: Partly True! Senegal is the first African team to beat England, but not the first to score three goals against them. Full Text The England senior men’s national football team, nicknamed the “Three Lions,” played their first match against Scotland in 1872. That match ended goalless but marked the beginning of an intense soccer rivalry between both nations, dubbed the “Auld Enemy.” Since 1872-2025, the England national team has achieved its 1000-game milestone in November 2019 when they played Montenegro at the Wembley Stadium. England's all-time head-to-head record shows that they’ve played a whopping 1072 matches against 100 countries, won 615 games, drew 255, and lost 200. Senegal, on the other hand, is one of Africa’s most famous football nations, nicknamed the “Lions of Teranga.” In 2002, ...

Sierra Leone, Two other Nations disqualified from AFCON 2024 U17 Qualifiers

By: Abdulrahman Barrie The U17 football teams from Sierra Leone, Guinea, and Guinea Bissau have been disqualified from the 2024 U17 African Cup of Nations competition in Senegal after failing the mandatory MRI test scans. These scans, which determine the age of the players, revealed discrepancies that led to their removal from the tournament. The disqualification follows changes to Article 27.4 of the U17 Africa Cup of Nations regulations, which have tightened the criteria and enforcement of age verification measures. The updated rules stipulate that if a team has more than four players deemed ineligible after the MRI eligibility test, the entire team will be disqualified. The MRI tests, used to enforce age restrictions in youth competitions, are crucial for ensuring fairness. Unfortunately, the teams from these three nations did not meet the age criteria, resulting in their disqualification. This decision has come as a significant disappointment for the young players and their fans, w...
