Masongbo Community Health Center-(CHC), mosques and churches in the community have all been lit-up courtesy of one of its indigenes Foday “604” Tarawilie.

Of the eight-(8) solar lights that were single handedly donated to each of the three mosques, two churches, the Community Health Center and two installed at the two entrances of Masongbo community have all brought succor to the community.

The lights have now become the center of attraction in the community and parents interviewed have thanked the donor for the lights which they say are now used at night by their children to study, especially those in the primary and junior secondary schools NPSE and BECE examination classes.

For health workers at the Masongbo Community Health Center, they say the solar light installed at the center is beginning to save them from much fear during the night’s hours and has so far boosted their confidence to attend to more patients in the night hours.

As it is now, community residents at Masongbo have extolled Foday “604” Tarawalie for his good will to bring lights to their door steps and at the five religious houses prayers are being offered now to the renowned businessman and prominent politician of the ruling Sierra Leone People’s Party –(SLPP) in the North.

For Tarawalie he says “donating the eight solar lights is not in any way to polish his political agenda but a move to continue giving back to his community at the same time the donation which also targets mosques and churches in his community is a show of charity in the holy month of Ramadan.”

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...

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, ...
