                                           INTERVIEW QUESTION
                 If you could interview any living or dead whom would you interview and why?                                 (What would you ask)?    

This interview question reminds me of two people I consider to have the greater impact, one in my native country Sierra Leone Sir Milton Margai and the other in the United States of America Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

I would interview Sir Milton Margai or Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. why, because I consider both to have a greater impact in the world history today, I would ask Sir Milton Margai how did he became the first medical doctor in the country after graduated from a medical college in London. He came back home to practice medicine, this help a lot of people get medical attention from someone they can really understand and speak the same native language.

Secondly, Sir Milton Margai was also the first African black native man to participated in the legislative body of Government during the rule of Britain, he use the opportunity to push for independence from the British rule, his efforts were so strong that he succeeded in leading the local delegation to Britain for independence conference. Independence was finally attained in 1961 and he became the country first prime minister in Sierra Leone, a position he held for three years until his death in 1964. His death lift a lot of history in Sierra Leone up till date, nobody else like him even though young Sierra Leoneans who are politician trying to copy from his past political aspect of life.

I would also interview and ask Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. how did he worked hard to change laws that were unfair to black people, there used to be a law that said black people must sit at the back of the buses, king wanted to change this law, but he wanted to do it peacefully, without any fighting. He and many other people decided not to ride the buses until black people were allowed to sit in any part of the buses. Dr. King’s plan worked, and the law was change. He participated in the civil right movement, as a result he became a noble prize winner. He was the first African American to win the Nobel Prize, he made it possible for African Americans to hold important positions as a result of many struggles and sacrifices, of those who are now the older generation. He led state legislatures, served on corporate boards, and helped to shape policies throughout the country. None of that would have been possible without the civil rights movement. Dr. Martin Luther King once said “If you will protest courageously, and yet with dignity and Christian love future historians will say, there live a great people.” A black people who injected new meaning and dignity into the veins of civilization. This is our challenge and our over whiling responsibility, the position of Dr. Martin Luther King as a pastor, his wife standing by his side and virtues the people of America made him a winner.

In conclusion I would interview both Sir Milton Margai and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. of whom I consider to have the greater impact in the world history. Sir Milton Margai the first prime minister in my native country Sierra Leone, and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr worked hard to change the laws that unfair to black people and as a Nobel Prize winner, also participated in the civil rights movement.

TRIBALISM IT'S ALWAYS WORTH REMEMBERING


                        TRIBALISM IT'S ALWAYS WORTH REMEMBERING 

We are witnessing a new wave of reversion to Tribalism around the Country of Sierra Leone. The same pattern can be seen even in the western World, especially the US polities. But let’s take a step back, between the 18th and 20th centuries, before the rise of Nation-States; the world was most tribal, and Tribes were united by Language Religion, Blood and Belief.
The past 250 to 300 years the belief of Nationhood took basic root around the world and members of the tribes stated to viewing themselves as single people with patriotic sentiment and duties towards their Homeland. This is true, even though from time to time, most people wondered what it must be like to live in a truly tribal society, but yet let us don’t go back to those parts of controversial issues of tribalism. For example as NYMAG.com mention online “the same has happened in a developed Democratic Society Northern Ireland and in one of the most successful Countries in Africa Kenya. Tribal Loyalties turned Beirut, Lebanon’s beautiful cosmopolitan Capital, turn into an urban wasteland in the 1970s.  They caused close to a million deaths in a few months in Rwanda in the 1990s” turn to Ethnic Cleansing. How on earth the two political parties is moving to such abominable idea. To all Sierra Leonean abroad and in the country get curious about how, the collective mind of bad connotation of Tribal war can become diminished if re-examine the past and change our attitude
