It really borders me when i hear of 'tribalism' or any negative vice on the 2007 Presidential run- off elections. Can we be UNITED like what we did during the AFRC interregnum or Foday Sankoh issue? I only hope and pray so. Elections are meant for those who can play the 'game' on the political platform with tolerance and not hatred. As. politics is the way, of how the world works. Let us be honest and truthful to ourselves, and not to allow 'politicans' to divide us.

We are all United under one name, as WE sing our National anthem 'Firmly united, ever We stand' Can we really reflect this in our minds and not only in the words we sing? Sierra Leoneans, the 'Isles of March" is on the hook for us, as the whole world is watching - to see if we can reverse our hard earned peace.

Don't be convinced, used, and misused by politicians. It is prudent for us to abide by the rules if party 'SOLO B' or ERNEST wins. And, please don't create unnecessary chaos in our country as We sing, "Great is thy love we have for thee". For, the security forces especially the military and Police will enforce the laws. Don't be moved with the ideal of another coup d'etat. It will not only work, but it will be received with sad feelings as the ' people is the people's power'. So, if politicians think, they (military) will intervene; that is an errorneous representation. As, the people recently saw the ruthless regime of our times in Sierra Leone under the guise of 'corporate interest'.

Be careful, and be warned, as Sierra Leone is the only country WE can proud of as "Land that WE love our Sierra Leone".

I rest my case, for comments.
