This menace truly requires concerted efforts. It's refreshing that this collaboration is being heightened.

There is a symbiotic relationship between South American drug cartels and terrorist groups in West Africa. A cocaine shipment bound for West Africa, with a street value of $1 billion was recently intercepted with intel provided by AFRICOM.

Africa will no longer fall for that crap. DANGOTE is a man known for actualising his vision, no matter the challenges. He'll pull it off. Watch and see.

[Sheriff Mahmud ISMAIL @IsmaiMahmud]

Quite a visionary with a big heart! May African leaders and entrepreneurs with the means support and stand with him.

Guess who is opposing Dangote’s proposal to build a 1.2M barrels a day refinery in east Africa (Tanzania, Kenya and Congo)

World Bank and IMF. : )))

Their argument? it would give monopoly to one company over energy.

1) All the while, French refineries are in almost every oil producing countries in Africa.
2) No African countries could get a loan to build a refinery larger than 400,000 barrels per day (one of the most profitable businesses ever). So the majority are small and struggle for profitability.
3) Nigeria oil had to be exported to Europe, refined and in many cases sold back to Nigeria and ECOWAS countries, under companies like shell and total.
4) it took until a billionaire financed the refinery in Nigeria himself to change part of that production and supply pipeline. And today, after the Hormuz blockade, EU countries are now buying oil from Dangote.

#SierraLeone, whose image the BIO- led #SLPP government vowed to 'rebrand,' ranked second only to Guinea Bissau in top West African countries deep in #Cocainetrafficking.

*INT'L TRAVEL ACCOUNTABILITY
No private jets. No business class tickets. Last minute arrival, early departure. No luxury suits!

15K a trip on ave/ $1.457Mln/93 trips/7 years = $120 Mln in grants - Can we have a similar breakdown for our numerous trips over the 8 year please?

[Sheriff Mahmud ISMAIL @IsmaiMahmud]

He has travelled again. But he said it's better to travel for nothing than to stay home for nothing. Meanwhile, the deficit, due to senseless spending [including on unproductive overseas trips] reached SLE 1.82 billion in the 1st 2months of 2026, significantly outpacing revenue.

[Sheriff Mahmud ISMAIL @IsmaiMahmud]

Revive or accelerate the dream, no matter the framing, it is exciting that Africa is once again actively considering unity. There could be no better place to do this than Accra. @ebklegacy will deliver the #keynote at #TheAfricanSummit on the theme "Building a New United Africa."

Prior to destroying the arrogant and the wicked, Allah always first inflicts upon them great confusion. May their confusion worsen.

Total public debt reached US$3.2 billion end of June 2025, comprising US$1.8 billion in external debt and about US$1.4 billion in domestic debt. This amounts to over 60% of projected GDP. Critically, borrowing has become unsustainable.

The budget deficit increases to NLe8.2 bln. Govt relies on domestic borrowing & aid to fill this gap, despite the shrinking ODA, risks crowding out private investment. This approach conflicts with IMF budget guidelines

[Sheriff Mahmud ISMAIL @IsmaiMahmud]

The budget shows a dependence on donor support for infrastructure - roads, hospitals, and schools. This reliance hampers conducive investment climate. How can the nation transform when it cannot finance critical its own infrastructural projects?

@Dr Mustapha Bangura

[Sheriff Mahmud ISMAIL @IsmaiMahmud]

Expenditure = NLe30.0 bln, recurrent expenses = NLe21.7 bln, capital spending NLe8.4 bln. Capital investments funded by foreign loans & grants= NLe4.5 bln. If it was pro-poor, why is recurrent expenditure rising frm NLe18 bln to NLe30 bln in 2026?

@Dr Mustapha Bangura

[Sheriff Mahmud ISMAIL @IsmaiMahmud]

Inflation said to below 10%, bt current monetary policy rate is above 20%. Typically, overnight lending rate decreases whn inflationary pressures ease. High monetary policy rate leads to elevated market interest rates, making borrowing difficult.

@Mustapha Bangura

[Sheriff Mahmud ISMAIL @IsmaiMahmud]

The 2026 Budget was presented as a promise of prosperity, transformation, & self-reliance. Yet this is not a budget of hope — it is of hardship, suffocation, & of a nation cornered by its own Govt’s economic mismanagement.

[Sheriff Mahmud ISMAIL @IsmaiMahmud]

Africa doesn’t lack vision, it needs bold, selfless leadership to execute it.

At #ALF2025 in Uganda, leaders @KagutaMuseveni & @ebklegacy challenged us to prioritize our priorities & take charge of our SDG future.

A World Bank Report identified systemic challenges in the energy sector of S/Leone, ranging from operational inefficiencies to financial mismanagement. You can fool some of the people some of the time, but not all of the people, all of the time. Chickens have come home to roost😂

In democracy's embrace, leveraging unity over division is paramount. @ebklagacy championed inclusivity, recognizing it as the cornerstone for a resilient and progressive state during his tenure; - these values are critical for fostering collective growth. #InclusiveDemocracy
