The regional public engagements continue in Makeni for the North-East Region and Port Loko for the North-West Regio Catherine Jackson-Cole: The Blogger doc She held on to her phone as if her life depended on it. Even when her elbow was pinched she refused to let go. So who is Doc CJ-C? Her Twitter feeds gives interesting insights into the life and times of Doctor Catherine Jackson-Cole. She is both a pharmacist and an MD. She took her job almost the same as President Bio. She opened a twitter account almost right away (October 2018). Her first three tweets were about food and more food, vastly different from the tone and tenure of her recent tweets and newfound career as activist-blogger. For three years she worked out of PCMH but frequented Connaught because, in her own words, she had “patients there”. Her term at PCMH ended on 3/19/21. She was radicalized at PCMH She has had a long running battle with the utility services: Electricity Company and Guma Valley Water in particular over the erratic supply of services to PCMH. For the last two years she has pilloried Guma in tweet after tweet. “Ar tire”, she tweeted on February 15, 2021. “PCMH from thy Kingdom Come, no water. Water dae oba the street but no water in the hosp. Last year na packet water we min dey use for scrub na theather.  This year Same shit…” She is religious, very. Her faith (and family) seems to play a big role in her life. She is close to her sister (pictured) Her pre-photographer tweets are a cross between a motivational speaker and an evangelical preacher. She follows Joel and Victoria Osteen very keenly. She is a huge fan of The Chosen, the multi-season tv show about the life of Jesus. In anticipation of the arrival of a new season, she tweeted “So…excited…praying the day zooms by…lol” In week after week she exhorted her followers to” download the Pray app”. She is an admirer of the FCC Mayor. The latter’s every award; public (mis)pronouncements and appearances feature prominently on her feeds. When Aki-Sawyer was long listed for the City mayor’s Foundation’s prize, Jackson-Cole tweeted on 3/24/21 , “We will VOTE”. She has a soft spot for Vicky Remoe, Isha Sesay, Chernoh and the Africanist Press, Sheka Fornah and Augustine Sorie Sengbe-Marrah.  Remoe using her Adama Loves Akara handle proposed creating a TV show called ‘Men who cook’. Doc Jackson-Cole tweets “I am in support” A sickening photo of a young man delivering a fatal blow to the head of a cat using a metal pipe, presumably for food, features prominently on her feed. She asks her followers “Hunger or Cruelty? what ya think? (2/24/2021) She has a sense of humor. On 4/6/21 she tweeted, “Just took my sinopharm vaccine…I did not make a pretty face..lol. so there will be no pics…”.   She found this quote hilarious “Thou shall not checketh for a man that checking not for thee”. In response she tweeted as a caption “Funniest shit I have heard all week! Truth Shit????????????”. After witnessing a St Patrick’s Day  event organized by an Irish volunteer, she tweeted (3/17/21) “Very sexy catwalk, I must admit! ”. She cares about social issues, big and small: reforestation, climate change,  Tacugama Chimpanzee park, women’s empowerment etc. “We need to save our future” she wrote (3/22/21) in response to a tweet captioned “Guma under attack!” by Ahmed Nasrallah. She blames deforestation on palmoil farming. She is very open about her life story.”…A year ago I was in such a severe state of clinical depression and psychotic breakdown that I literally slept in my mum’s bed…(7/5/20).  Her first open dig at the current government came in a tweet on 7/6/20. “When the GOSL pouts because it was told by its HCW’s to pay up the risk allowance it owes them…” She was vehemently opposed to the arrival of foreign medical teams to help Salone in the fight against covid. “We look forward to seeing them at our best beaches…in the name of aid’ she tweeted (rather sarcastically) of the Cubans (7/8/20) She is fond of the S word. “I so need to learn this shit, I suck at it!” (3/1/21). She described PCMH and Connaught as “the same shit” She is a prolific Twitterer ( is there any such word)?. On some days she posts as many as 15 tweets, not including the replies she gives to her own postings from followers. On 7/19/2020, around the time of the doctor’s strike, she churned out a record 16 tweets!. On 9/16/2020 she tweeted 10 times. Since her elbow was pinched a day ago she has not relented either, she has tweeted and retweeted 12 times, 10 times on the day of the incident alone. Doc CJ-C is clearly reveling in her newfound photographer/ Blogger fame. Any Attempt to wrestle her phone from her will not end well. She has

By: Idrissa Jerry Kargbo In this day and age, there are perspectives that have questioned the necessity of secret societies more so when 21st century norms are taken into consideration. The sociocultural power structure of some of such secret societies like the Poro and Bondo and their interactions with international human rights discourse in post-conflict Sierra Leone is in a contest of contrast. It is believed that these secret societies offer gender and cultural spaces that serve as social and political mobilizing symbols. These societies further provide the environment as well as a stage for counter-discourse about gender-based violence and human rights’ violations, particularly with regards to the forceful nature of the Poro secret society, which extends in its culturally privileged positions and forcefully victimizing and violating the human rights of non-members in the name of defending tradition best practices. Maybe in reality, they are defending and preserving their personal socio-economic and political interests within local power structures in the country (Sierra Leone,) and in some case it is out of personal vendetta “epo-sata-cachi” or “turumu pa mene wanduni” at this point no one can prevent you of been forcefully taken to the secret society bush. Several years back, the Ernest Bai Koroma led government put on hold the activities and exhibition of masquerades and secret societies across the country in early March 2018. The rationale and cognitive for that “Executive Order” was noticeable: distinctive turmoil, prearranged chaos, social commotions; forcefully initiations and in some cases the actual loss of lives, youth absconding from their community or country which is most prevalent associated with masquerades and secret society existence, which has led to superficial cultural psychosis and societal disruptions, in which the youths suffers it the most. In the Northern region, youths face a huge percentage of the sudden disappearance of non-members of these secret societies within the age bracket of 14 to 38, justifiably; colleague journalists and activists have been writing and investigating this looming saga in the minds of non-members of these secret societies. Of recent, over ten cases have been reported by journalists, allegedly, reporting the missing and disappearance of very strong and vibrant young men, in some cases, they are seen after three months or six months seldom, and in most cases, they abscond to other countries for protection on most cases. In my view, these secret societies (Poro) are causing more harm than good and also impeding and hampering the growth of the northern region and by extension the country at large, in which, it now serves as an agent of distraction, deprivation, and operation to the youths and our future leaders, leaving them with no other better option but to escape to other location in the country and many been on the run to other countries as a result of it in the name of finding greener pasture. Government and the international community need to act and the time is now, if the government has the people interest at heart and the international community is serious about the human rights thing, especially in promoting and ready to achieve the SDGs and the time to do this is now.      Lawyers condemn Police Brutality      78 Employees Fired at SALCAB A total of seventy eight employees of SALCAB including the Managing Director and heads of Finance, Commercial and Technical had their services officially terminated yesterday.

Minister of Basic and Senior School Education Dr. David Moinina Sengeh has stated that the Ministry in three years has been able to deliver on about 70 percent of the New Direction People’s Manifesto commitments on free and quality education. He made this disclosure on Thursday during the weekly government press briefing held at the Ministry of Information Conference Hall Youyi Building. “We’ve done about 70% of what we said we will do in the manifesto and the remaining 30% we’ve started already. There is no basic education commitment that is in the manifesto that we have not started already,” according to the minister. He said in achieving the quality aspect of education, they’ve recruited 5000 teachers, assessed over 4,000 teachers and about 10,000 have undergone training, implemented 10% allowance for teachers in 2019 and in 2020 they added a 30% salary increment for teachers. He said teachers made up about 40% of the payroll and there are presently about 85,000 teachers in the country. He said a lot has been done for teachers, however, noted that as a government, they understand the challenges teachers are faced with and one of which is that many teachers don’t have pin codes, noting that government can’t possibly employ all the teachers. The Minister said 3400 new schools have been approved and the government spent Le 150 Billion every academic year on school subsidies alone. He said in the recent past, they are recording the highest number of passes ever in science subjects like mathematics, chemistry, physics among others, noting that there is a notable reduction in examination malpractice. “For the first time in Sierra Leone, we are developing the Basic Education curriculum framework and the civic education curriculum framework. What we are using presently are syllabuses from Nigeria and Ghana, we gonna develop syllabuses based on what we want our children to be educated on like critical thinking, creativity, and the fourth industrial revolution,” he said. He said they’ve brought the highest amount of money in education ever which is the World Bank USD$ 70 Million. He said the ministry has built about 100 early childhood classrooms last year and they are expanding about 100 again this year, noting that they recently commissioned 327 classrooms nationwide that were built last year. “We have continued to expand on teachers’ development, infrastructure development, learning, and curriculum, restructuring the human resources at the Ministry and policies development,” he said. He said recently cabinet approved a policy on radical inclusion which they named ‘Paopa all man for learning book’, adding that they are also ensuring that every chiefdom has an adult education learning center so that the illiteracy rate in the country can be reduced. “Improving Education and Skills Training Investing in quality education – primary, secondary, and post-secondary (including technical and vocational education and training (TVET) and university) will help transform Sierra Leone’s natural and mineral resources into sustainable development. Education is the key to individual, community, and national development. Education helps lift people out of poverty and creates vast new opportunities to reduce unfair income distribution and increase choices. It creates awareness and helps to sustain democracy and peace,” according to figure 3.1 in the People’s Manifesto under Human Development First High Court Criminal Session Ends In Karene District The Resident High Court Judge of Koinadugu District presiding over cases in Karene District, Hon.

Promotes Blood Sugar Control by Reducing Insulin Resistance Several studies have found that fasting may improve blood sugar control, which could be especially useful for those at risk of diabetes. In fact, one study in 10 people with type 2 diabetes showed that short-term intermittent fasting significantly decreased blood sugar levels (1Trusted Source). Meanwhile, another review found that both intermittent fasting and alternate-day fasting were as effective as limiting calorie intake at reducing insulin resistance (2Trusted Source). Decreasing insulin resistance can increase your body’s sensitivity to insulin, allowing it to transport glucose from your bloodstream to your cells more efficiently. Coupled with the potential blood sugar-lowering effects of fasting, this could help keep your blood sugar steady, preventing spikes and crashes in your blood sugar levels. Keep in mind though that some studies have found that fasting may impact blood sugar levels differently for men and women. For instance, one small,

The rich infrastructure has a well-furnished accommodation facility for students, a research coordinator, an office area for meetings and another building hosting the solar batteries, and a space for a library.  The facility has played host to several researchers both locally and internationally and also served as a teaching and research center for students of the Biological Sciences in the School of Environmental Sciences, Njala University. Professor Lebbie and his team noted that they were pleased to have received Mallam O. at the Island and reported that he is the second Vice-Chancellor and Principal at Njala University to have visited the Island after Professor Abu Sesay. They appealed to him to support the sustainable management of the research facilities at the Island noting that this has been a huge challenge for them despite their collaboration with the Environmental Foundation for Africa (EFA) and the host communities. The Island, Professor Lebbie and his team went on, is challenged with the threats from marmites who constantly invade the building wanting to destroy it. They stressed the need for constant security in the area and the recruitment of an individual with the management expertise to manage the facility and effectively handle the hospitality-related functions of the facility. Mallam O. while responding assured the team that he has a very strong urge to use research as a vehicle to transform Njala University and hence his administration would fully take ownership of the management of Tiwai Island moving forward. The Acting-Vice-Chancellor was satisfied that Professor Lebbie and his team had achieved so much at the Island and promised to fully support their efforts moving further.

The caretaker Acting-Vice-Chancellor and Principal has always nursed the vision that research is the way to go and his visit to Tiwai is another manifestation that he is determined to hit the ground running and bring the much-needed glory to Njala University. Tiwai Island is one of the biggest islands in Sierra Leone and sits on a 120 hectare of land between Koya Chiefdom in the Kenema District and Barrie in Pujehun. The Island has over 700 plant species, 350 different types of birds, and various other primates. It is one of the protected forest reserves in the country that has a lot to offer in terms of tourist attraction. These protected forest reserves across the country are continuously challenged by the lack of much-needed social amenities like transportation, electricity, and water to attract tourists. The situation is further worsening by the activities of poachers, loggers, and illegal miners PROVINCIAL SUPPORTERS ENDORSE SAMURA KAMARA   On Thursday 8th April, 2021, Dr. Samura Kamara was massively endorsed by Members of Parliament, Councillors, party affiliated groups, party stalwarts, residents and stakeholders of Makeni city.

CHRDI DIRECTOR LASHES OUT  As University Students Brutalized By A.M. Fatoma Sierra Leone Police SLP) under the leadership of IG Sovula have once again demonstrated their unprofessionalism, lack of understanding of trending issues and above all their brute force in handling issues of public order and safety. On Tuesday 13th April, 2021 IPAM students had a right to assemble peacefully, and they were assembling peacefully. The police came and instead of facilitating the peaceful protest, they shot at students. The police didn’t understand and could not understand that students were protesting about issues affecting their future. It is a challenge because what the police should have done was to first find out what went wrong and then negotiate a settlement. The Police Act 1964, Act No. 7 of 1964 , Section 4 states the general duties of the Police Force, which include detection of crime, apprehension of offenders, preservation of law and order, protection of property and enforcement of all laws and regulations with which the Police Force is charged. The college administration’s negative attitude towards the students is unfair and unprofessional. The role of student (s) is to gather knowledge and wisdom and must not waste his/her precious time carelessly. He/she must submit him/herself to the rules of discipline to build a civilized society.

…AND APC FUMES A Doctors Protest Sierra Leone junior doctors have begun an indefinite strike following an assault on Tuesday 13THApril 2021 against one of their members at the main referral Connaught Hospital in Freetown. Dr Catherine Jackson-Cole was assaulted allegedly by people including senior health ministry officials who tried to stop her from filming a protest by cleaners who’ve themselves been on strike for over a week, making Connaught look like a garbage dump. The cleaners have not been paid for almost a year by a contractor who says he’s not received his money from the Health Ministry for 15 months. Now the junior doctors say they won’t return to work unless the assaulters who allegedly include the country’s Deputy Health Minister, Chief Medical Officer and the Permanent Secretary resign and the sanitary condition at the hospital is improved. The minister and other senior government officials are presently trying to talk her out of pursuing legal redress. In a social media video that went viral yesterday, National Secretary General of the APC, Foday Osman Yansaneh is heard saying that the SLPP has gone too far in brutalizing the people of this country and that he is warning them to desist or face the wrath of the people one day.
