2025 / 2026 Premier League:
E.E Lions Receive Massive Financial Boost from Chairman Amb. Anthony Navo;Jr.

Yesterday, I had a productive meeting with the E.E Lions family including the squad, staff, coaches, managers and fans. We also welcomed Moses Bankolay Coker back to the squad after a long injury sojourn.

We discussed the team’s preparation for the upcoming matches, our determination to win more trophies and plans for the future.

Since I became Chairman, we have worked together to ensure that our club continues to occupy the place it deserves because of its rich football history and what it represents for millions of people. That is why we are investing more and providing every possible financial and technical resources to the team.

In addition to the ongoing construction of our playing facility at the Trade Centre , I am pleased to announce that we have allocated billons of additional funding to the Square, in pursuit of 2025 / 2026 Premier League title. Players will receive a significant increase of more than 100% over the previous year.

E.E Lions Football Club remains one of the the most solid clubs in the world of sport in the Africa region. And I am confident that with our capacity for growth and innovation, with the new investment, and with the ambition that characterised our club’s values and winning mentality “ the killers”, we will continue to be the champions and remain one of Sierra Leone leading clubs in the coming years.

Today, we have a significant match against Wilberforce FC at the Approved School Playing Field. I urge our fans to come out and support. Our players are very determined and I am confident that we will soon top the league table.

We look forward to clinching the 2025/ 2026 Sierra Leone Premier League champions.

Many thanks to all our players, supporters and fans around the world.

Thank you .

Last week, I visited the Capitol.

It was a great honour to witness sessions during my visit to the United States Capitol building, the powerful seat of power.

Finding myself within the beautiful walls of the Capitol building reminded me of my humble background—born in the local Fourah Bay community in Freetown—but with sincerity, determination, and hard work, I am now able to go places I could never have imagined.

Indeed, dreams do come true.

Let me use this opportunity to thank my good people in the US for making it possible.

I also had the honour of being the keynote speaker at the annual AWOL USA awards ceremony, where I encouraged our brothers and sisters in the diaspora to continue playing their part in building our beautiful Sierra Leone.

Many thanks to my AWOL family for their support and hospitality. Great hosts.

God bless,

Amb Anthony Navo, Jr.

“U Na God? Mortal Man Noto God, Bra!” -Musa Tombo.

Indeed, “Mortal Man Noto God.”

I am excited to see our beloved
East End Lions ( E.E Lions) football club leading the Premier League Table.

As Club Chairman, I was happy to watch the impressive performance of our team E.E Lions against Kamboi Eagles FC. We won (3 -2).

This impressive win has taken our club to the top of league table, with 2 points ahead of second place Banthal FC.

I must be a lucky gentleman to be in the midst of 2 great lions celebrating success.

Both my club ( E.E Lions) my school (Prince of Wales) use the lion as a powerful symbol for success.

Last week, I was part of the massive celebration of the Prince of Wales school centenary, with the Lion roaring in the streets of Freetown.

And this week, I witnessed the East End Lions team defeating the Eagle of Kenema (Kamboi Eagles).

It’s a lion’s win for both my school and club. CONGRATULATIONS!

Many thanks to all our players, supporters and fans around the world.

We look forward to clinching the 2024/ 2025 Sierra Leone Premier League champions.

Cheers!

Prince of Wales School @ 100.
Let the Lion roar.🦁
Let the King prevail.
Let the countdown begin.

This Sunday, April 6- we will know who is who and who runs the jungle ( the city ).

I encourage our friends - the “Doubting Thomas” from the “other schools” to take note of the LION MENTALITY:

“The lion mentality is the ability to stay focused on your goals, even in the face of adversity. It’s the mindset of a champion, the mindset that separates the winners from the losers. To develop the lion mentality, you need to believe in yourself, trust your instincts, and always stay hungry for success.”

Join us on Sunday to experience the lion - king of the jungle (our Thanksgiving March). You will understand why we have been crowned the king of the jungle.

We are proud Princewaleans (the lions) -crafty and powerful academic champion of the country - the king of the jungle!

Amb Anthony Navo; Jr.
Proud Princewalean.

Our 2025 Umrah Journey.
Alhamdulillahi Rabillahlamin.

Thursday, March 13 - Mrs Haja Navo Esq,(my beloved wife) and I successfully performed Umrah in the holy land of Mecca.

Today, Friday 14th March - we joined millions of Muslims across the world for Jumah prayers in Mecca.

Our 2025 Umrah has been a wonderful journey, a new experience added to our previous trips to this holy land over the past years.

On this trip, we were able to travel through Madina to Mecca and had the opportunity to learn more about Islam and historical teachings during our 4hrs road trip. It was a great experience. We thank Allah for this opportunity.

We appreciate Dr Amadu Wurie, Lecturer at the University of Madina for facilitating this wonderful journey from Madina to Mecca, and for hosting us on a conducted tour of the University of Madina. Thank you for being such a wonderful host.

This land is indeed blessed.
Coming to the holy land is a huge blessing. We encourage everyone to come and experience the blessing of this holy journey.

May Allah accept our Umrah.
