TEEQI - I made a life changing decision 9yrs ago to devote my life to helping the orphans & street children of Sierra Leone. NO child deserves to die. . . I know the charity I started has saved the lives of these forgotten children & given them a life. WE HAVE MADE A DIFFERENCE despite your negative comments! We are now recognised by the Sierra Leone government for what we have done.. . . . What have you done to make a difference? . . . . .Nothing by the sound of it . . . . .!

Instead, of criticizing the roads in Freetown, why don't you tell your fucking British government to pay back all the money they stole during colonization plus the 439 years of slavery. So we will not need your fucking help.

THIS IS A TRUE PICTURE OF SIERRA LEONE TODAY. POVERTY REIGNS IN THE MIDST OF RICHES. THERE IS NO GOOD FORM OF ACCOUNTABILITY OR GOOD GOVERNANCE. SOMETHING NEED TO BE DONE NOW!!!

IMF CONDITIONS WHICH SACKED SO MANY PWD WORKERS IN SIERRA LEONE COULD ALSO BE A FACTOR AS NO ONE WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR MAINTENANCE.

TEEQI, IT IS PEOPLE LIKE YOU THAT ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE PROBLEMS OF AFRICA 50 YEARS AFTER THE WHITE MAN YOU ARE STILL COMPLAINING AND YOUR LANGUAGE DEPICTS YOUR BREED, USELESS RARRAY BOYS AND REBELS CLASSS.IN AMERICA IF ONE SEES A POTHOLE AND COMPLAINS THE PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT RESPONDS IMMEDIATELY AND FIX IT AND I GUESS THIS IS ALL ROSEMARY IS DOING.

These are not all the roads in Freetown; looks like the suburb.

I agree though, there is a problem...

which part is this?

am guessing eastend, kissy or wellington

[byzmac]

it a shame to have this kind of roads in the city, hope things will be better soon especially at the eastern part of freetown, the government should make more roads to reduce the traffic in freetown starting with kissy old road.
