      I don’t think Sierra Leone should depend on foreign aid to build Sierra Leone. Sierra Leone have lot of natural resources. Why make the best use of it. The Leadership and it’s government need to start working for it’s Citizens. It is shameful to depend on aids and bad governance. Look most of our Countries in the Continent are growing beautifully. No to aid and no to China aids. When China or any Country gave you something, they expecting to take the natural resources. Shame! If they can’t govern and develop the Country and it’s people. They should get out of the way, for the young people. Lubanzi! Johannesburg ! SOUTH AFRICA!

      Lubanzi, very correct. Don’t know why Sierra Leone is far behind most of our countries in the continent. Yes bad leaders or so call presidents need to resign. If they can’t deliver basic needs for the people and develop citizens. Should just go and get a different job. Peterr in Kigali, Rwanda.
