#Talks about Education | Law | Development | Economics | Advocacy | Servant Leadership | God

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

I am sorry to see that despite years of talk, gender inequality is on full display at the #UNGA General Debate.

Less than 10% of speakers this week are women.

This is unacceptable – especially when we know gender equality delivers for peace, climate action and much more.

A makeup artist from Sierra Leone has broken a 19-year-old world record for the most cosmetic makeovers in 24 hours by one artist.

@Cee_Bah That lady said #unaallowme
The people say #unaallowwe
The voice calling for freedom.

@Cee_Bah The masses are grateful to that Fourah Bay lady for speaking on their behalf. We were looking forward to hearing reforms or actions taken to solve the bread-and-butter issue we face daily. Let's be honest, things are not getting better.

@iamnot_elon @elonmusk You are not tough 🤣

Extract of my statement at the swearing in ceremony of the succeeding UNIMAK Law Society Executive. I happily handed over my constitutional responsibilities as Secretary General of the society.

[James Metzger @Metzgerjam]

@SoeMarrah This is a great statement and I agree with you.

[James Metzger @Metzgerjam]

@LamranaAmadu It took the ACC over 6 months just to tell us that they can not find him guilty 🤣. The friendship between the law and politics in SL is at another level 🤣🤣.

[James Metzger @Metzgerjam]

@SoeMarrah @SLBA_Reclaimers Most times, good results come with persistent good work. Your position on this issue is the position of the masses. The bar should be apolitical as a precondition for national prosperity. More strength!

[James Metzger @Metzgerjam]

@MansaAbubakarr @SoeMarrah @SLBA_Reclaimers When you begin to learn about SL politics and its taste for state capture, you will begin to write sense.

[James Metzger @Metzgerjam]

We must all desire to leave elected offices after serving well and laying the platform for others to thrive. My last statement at the @UnimakLaw Society dinner as its Secretary General. I'll be leaving office with knowledge of fulfilment.

[James Metzger @Metzgerjam]

@FrancisKaifala This nation’s unity should be reflexive of the unity desired in the SLBA. Stories and memories of the recent SLBA’s AGM linger on & related questions remain unanswered. We must sincerely put the nation's interest above political gains for lasting unity.

[James Metzger @Metzgerjam]

@ToniRuediger Sierra Leone is proud of you.

[James Metzger @Metzgerjam]

@Cee_Bah My advice is that you do your best to be more factual and precise next time. The sensitivity of the issue at hand coupled with your office requires accuracy in numbers. For many gullible people, their focus will be on the 13% & they’ll ignore the ‘about.’

[James Metzger @Metzgerjam]

@dsengeh Great news! Will this solar supply power to d communities around it? Newton, Magbafti, Fobo, Foofoo Water, Shebra Town, and other communities hosting & neighboring the solar facility do not have electricity supply. They are among d darkest communities in d W/A.

[James Metzger @Metzgerjam]

@USEmbFreetown @DFCgov A great support to the people of Salone. God bless you. We are praying for a sustainable solution to the electricity supply challenges our city face.

[Augustine Sorie-Sengbe Marrah @SoeMarrah]

Today I unveiled the overview of my 5-point vision for the presidency of the bar and officially commenced my in-person campaign.
I have received heartwarming response from both older and younger practitioners who desire to have a bar emancipated from partisan hegemony. I am especially excited by the thrusting energies of young colleagues who are poised to have a bar defined by competence, excellence and pursuit of a common purpose. They have chorused in unison that the bar should not be an errand-boy of any political party but the respected WATCH-WOMAN of our democracy. I have reiterated my promise that this is possible under my leadership. That a new, free and noble bar is achievable. And the young hands and hearts are the trusted social engineers to make this HAPPEN.

@AfricanHub_ Misleading information as to title and age. Most of them are heads of state and not presidents because they were not elected.

[James Metzger @Metzgerjam]

The principles of separation of power, presumption of innocence and people’s fundamental human rights must be respected at all times. The fight against the prevalence of kush should not suggest an abrogation of the rule of law. The judiciary should operate by its governing rules.
