Rest In Peace Legend Lansana Sheriff AKA Steady Bongo.
His melodious voice and powerful lyrics are the priceless memories left with us. His music united us as a nation, taught us how to love and be affectionate, healed the broken hearted and provided hope for the hopeless. Steady Bongo was a true inspiration, an iconic entertainer and a charismatic preacher. May God bless your soul.

My heart goes out to all Sierra Leoneans home and abroad especially the immediate bereaved family for comfort and strength to endure this terrible tragedy and loss of legendary brother.

@LansanaDumbuya Lansana you continue to demonstrate your backward mentality that is being shrouded by political greed and selfishness over love for country.

MPs elect of the All People’s Congress party subscribe the oath of office as full fledged members of parliament. The outcome of a democratic process will only be delayed but can’t be overturned. Let’s work together for a progressive Sierra Leone.
