According to journalist, Mahmoud Tim Kargbo. President Maada Bio has talked tough in Nairobi, Kenya, against Sierra Leone’s development partners and stakeholders ( See report below ).
Bio described them as neocolonialists and
Mumbo Jumbo. The spider cannot stand on its own legs. It does not even have legs. It does not even have hands to feed itself .Somebody has to put food into that big mouth yet we keep making fanciful statements to impress our gullible sycophants.
Maada Bio is advised to wait until he has crossed the river before he abuses the crocodile. Any recalcitrant , arrogant attitude to the U.S and any manifestations of impunity will hurt him because he knows that he cannot fight the U.S and comes out unscathed.
Nobody can bite the hands that feed him . Bio’s arrogance will not hurt him alone. When the U.S decides to respond to him, it will plunge Sierra Leone into a very serious socioeconomic and political that will even shorten his hold on power.
Already, the economy has virtually collapsed and the government cannot provide services like electricity and water . There is also a looming scarcity of fuel and government workers have started complaining that they do not receive their salaries on time. As of today, salaries for April have not been paid .So, what leg is Bio standing on to challenge the U.S and international partners?
