By: Ibrahim Jalloh - ( Jallomy ) There is a bankrupt truism that a man cannot be ahead of his time and generation! This philosophy draws strength from the the conflicting reality of disconnect between a generation bracket and ahead of time rationalization and behavioral patterns. Certainly, some people are far ahead of their generation, time and the dictates of the age. Often in Western Literature, this can be neatly described as "the generation gap". You think something or some direction is wrong but the greater and often gullible majority think it is right. Invariably, they will give you descriptive terms: a dissenter, a leftist, a non-conformist, a rebel, the list goes on. Society largely thinks and behave in stereotypical manner with the ruthless expectations that all must follow and comply. This perhaps the cradle or that which is loosely called societal norms. Realistically, norms are ridiculous conditioned patterns of behavior. They have the huge potential to im...

By: Ibrahim Jalloh - ( Jallomy ) Sierra Leone is suffering from a moral decline. The war came and went. Post war resettlement and rehabilitation priorities were vigorously pursued. We saw the disarmament and demobilization of combatants but what we never saw was the moral rearmament of our society. Sierra leonean girls were never spared the atrocities of the moral decay of our time. Sex related abuses of all types and kinds were the daily and frequent realities face by our girls. Efforts in the past to stem the tide sexual offences were paralyzed by uncoordinated actions and complete lack of the political will to redress the sexual aggression. The First lady of the republic, madam Fatima Bio, has taken action fuelled by the strongest political will in the history of sierra Leone to arrest a menace that will destroy our girls, the seeds of time and the investment of tomorrow.
