Alhaji Yumkella Has Let Down Sierra Leone

By Concerned Citizens

Alhaji Yumkella, you have let down the people of Sierra Leone. You have disappointed your supporters and dashed the hope you once inspired in many who believed genuine change was possible. The 2023 election was meant to be a stepping stone for you and the National Grand Coalition (NGC). Even in defeat, you could have built a stronger foundation, positioning the party for greater influence in the 2028 elections.

For countless Sierra Leoneans, you were seen as a beacon of hope – the “Jesus” for political salvation, the “Moses” to lead the people across the Red Sea of corruption, poverty, and poor governance. Yet, your inability to remain resilient, patient, and confident in the vision you once championed has brought you back to the very party you once rejected. To many, this is nothing short of betrayal and shame.

The people of Sierra Leone are weary of the endless political baton exchange between the APC and SLPP. They yearn for something new – a movement that offers true development, a fresh start, and renewed confidence in the future. Sadly, your actions have left them questioning whether that change will ever come.

The Referee Who Sent Off Jay-Jay Okocha

Felix Tangawarima, an eight-time Zimbabwean Referee of the Year, holds a unique place in football history as the only referee to have ever shown Nigerian legend Jay-Jay Okocha a red card.

Now a FIFA Referees Instructor, Tangawarima made the decision during Nigeria’s 2000 AFCON quarter-final clash against Senegal, when Okocha was dismissed for elbowing an opponent. Remarkably, it remains the only red card of Okocha’s illustrious career.

The former midfield maestro, who starred in Germany, France and England, is remembered for his dazzling skills, yet this one moment of indiscipline stands out as a rare blemish in an otherwise celebrated career.

From Law Graduate to Farmer: Karamo Mory Camara Champions Agribusiness in Guinea

After completing his law studies in Morocco, Karamo Mory Camara returned home to Conakry, Guinea, in 2021 with an unusual ambition: to pursue farming. With personal savings and support from his parents, he began cultivating watermelon, gradually building a foundation for his agribusiness journey.

The profits from his watermelon venture were reinvested into maize production, expanding both his output and impact. Most recently, Karamo launched a 10,000-foot pineapple plantation, adding another dimension to his growing enterprise.

Today, he employs around 10 people, contributing not only to local food supply but also to job creation. His determination and vision have made him a role model for young Africans, demonstrating that agriculture remains a vital path to prosperity and development across the continent.

NRA Shuts Down Dangote Cement (SL) Ltd Over $653,300 Freight Levy Debt

August 25, 2025

The National Revenue Authority (NRA) has officially sealed off Dangote Cement (SL) Ltd on August 25, 2025, due to an unpaid Freight Levy Liability dating back to 2020. The outstanding amount totals $653,300, prompting the NRA’s Non-Tax Revenue Department, led by the Commissioner Tom Vandy, including the Deputy Commissioner NTR and the Domestic Tax Department Compliance unit to enforce a complete shutdown of the company’s facilities.

The closure was done at the Administrative Office, Control Room and Production Room preventing any access to the premises. This decisive action underscores the NRA’s commitment to enforcing tax compliance and recovering outstanding revenues from defaulters.

Tinubu Secures Direct Lagos–São Paulo Flight as Nigeria, Brazil Deepen Ties

Nigeria’s largest carrier, Air Peace, is set to launch direct flights between Lagos and São Paulo, following agreements reached during President Bola Tinubu’s state visit to Brazil.

The arrangement was confirmed by Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva at a joint press conference with President Tinubu in Brasília. “Increasing the direct connections between Nigeria and Brazil is another essential step to strengthen the ties between our societies. We have approved the launch of a direct flight, to be operated by Nigeria’s largest airline company, Air Peace, between Lagos and São Paulo,” President Lula declared.

The announcement came after a two-hour expanded bilateral meeting at the Palácio do Planalto, where both leaders witnessed the signing of several agreements and memoranda of understanding. These covered aviation, diplomacy, political cooperation, science and technology, as well as trade and investment. Among the signatories were Nigeria’s Aviation Minister, Festus Keyamo, and Brazil’s Minister of Ports and Airports, Silvio Costa Filhos, who formalised a Bilateral Air Services Agreement to enhance connectivity, trade, and people-to-people exchange.

Further accords included a diplomatic training cooperation pact signed by Nigeria’s Minister of State for Foreign Affairs, Ambassador Bianca Ojukwu, and Brazil’s Foreign Minister, Mauro Vieira, alongside an MoU on political consultations. In the field of science and technology, Nigeria’s Geoffrey Nnaji and Brazil’s Luciana Santos signed an agreement to collaborate in biotechnology, bioeconomy, ocean science, energy, digital transformation, and space development.

Additionally, Nigeria’s Bank of Agriculture chief, Ayo Sotinrin, and Brazil’s National Bank for Economic and Social Development president, Aluísio Mercadante, sealed an MoU to promote agricultural financing, investment, and joint projects.

The direct Lagos–São Paulo route is expected to boost trade, tourism, and cultural links, marking a new chapter in Nigeria-Brazil relations.

From new call-ups to goals, debuts, and standout performances, Sierra Leonean footballers are continuing to make waves across Europe, Africa, Asia, and America. Here is the latest round-up:

🇩🇰 Denmark
Danish-based goalkeeper Mamadou Jalloh has received a senior Leone Stars call-up for Sierra Leone’s crucial 2026 World Cup qualifiers. Brøndby IF officially confirmed the invitation today.

🇺🇸 United States
Augi Williams scored his fifth goal of the season for Charleston Battery against Birmingham Legion FC, converting on three shots. He dominated 7 of 14 duels — the most contested by a Hounds player — including three aerial wins and earning three free kicks, while also being named Modelo USA Man of the Match.

🇸🇰 Slovakia
Kakay Club Team FK Košice defeated MFK Ružomberok 3–1 in the Slovak Super Liga on 23rd August, 2025, a win providing a much-needed boost after a challenging run in the league. Notably, one of their players celebrated his birthday on the day of the victory.

🇦🇲 Armenia
Former Bo Rangers goalkeeper Ibrahim Sesay is yet to make his debut for his new club Alashker.

🇺🇸 United States / MLS
Kei Kamara has yet to score for FC Cincinnati since joining the club in May 2025.

🇬🇧 England

Idris Kanu also helped Barnet FC secure a 1–0 victory over Cheltenham Town, continuing their solid start to the season.

🇲🇩 Moldova
Disappointment for Samuel Gandi, as Politehnica suffered a heavy 5–0 home defeat to Petrocub, leaving the club still searching for their first win of the season after ten matches (1 draw, 9 losses).

🇫🇷 France
Jocelyn Janneh featured for the full 90 minutes as SC Bastia opened their Ligue 2 campaign with a 1–0 defeat to Le Mans FC on 22nd August. Despite the loss, Janneh impressed with his work ethic and midfield resilience. Reports indicate he is on the verge of a move to Rapid Vienna, with all parties agreeing on terms and the transfer expected to be finalised soon.

CHAN 2024 Trophy Arrives in Kenya as Finalists Awaited

The CHAN 2024 trophy has touched down in Kenya, heralding the climax of Africa’s showcase tournament for home-based players. The silverware was formally unveiled at the Kenya Broadcasting Corporation (KBC), where it was escorted by former Harambee Stars captain and national figurehead Victor Wanyama. The arrival marks the start of a week-long build-up to the grand final, scheduled for Saturday, 30 August, at the Moi Sports Centre, Kasarani.

With the semi-finals still to be played, the identity of the finalists remains unresolved. Powerhouses such as Senegal and Morocco, along with dark horses Sudan and Madagascar, are all vying for the chance to contest the trophy. Their progress through the competition has been marked by drama, resilience and spirited performances, leaving the tournament finely poised ahead of its decisive stage.

Kenya, working alongside co-hosts Uganda and Tanzania, has delivered a vibrant edition of CHAN, underscoring the competition’s growing importance in nurturing grassroots football across the continent. As the trophy tours Nairobi and anticipation builds, all eyes are now on Kasarani, where history will be made and a new champion crowned.

Leone Stars Set for Test Matches Against East End Lions and Bhantal FC

As part of their build-up to the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers, Sierra Leone’s national team, Leone Stars, will play two test matches against East End Lions and Bhantal FC. The fixtures are expected to provide valuable preparation for the national side as they gear up for crucial international commitments.

The matches also come at an important moment for both clubs. East End Lions, winners of the Leone Rock Premier League, are preparing for their CAF Champions League preliminary campaign, while runners-up Bhantal FC will use the encounter as a tune-up ahead of the CAF Confederation Cup. Both teams see these games as an opportunity to sharpen their squads before continental competition.

Supporters have been encouraged to attend in their numbers, with entrance confirmed as free of charge. Fans will not only have the chance to cheer for their favourite clubs but also to stand behind Leone Stars as they represent Sierra Leone on both the continental and international stage.

Jagaban’s Mission in Sierra Leone: Development or Power?

Jagaban’s political journey in Sierra Leone continues to raise questions. While he has been a constant figure on the campaign scene, some within his own party still argue that he is not truly seeking power. This has left many Sierra Leoneans wondering about his real mission.

Recently, Jagaban has spoken of plans that could bring meaningful change to the country. These include buying a ferry to connect Freetown and Lungi, setting up a motorbike factory to provide jobs, and building recreational centres in different parts of Sierra Leone. Such projects, if realised, would address important needs in transport, employment, and leisure.

Observers believe that focusing on development rather than short-term political gestures could strengthen his public image. By investing in projects that improve daily life, Jagaban may find himself winning wider trust, and his path towards the 2028 elections could become clearer.
