AFRICA24 NEWSPAPER was established on 24 April, 2015 and started its maiden edition on 22nd December, last year. We’re exactly a year old today since we were approved by the Independent Media Commission (IMC), the media regulatory body charged with the mandate to register and monitor media outlets across Sierra Leone.
It has been a long, difficult but an interesting journey though, because in spite of the odds, we’ve been able to keep our heads above the water.
For this reason, we want to extend our never ending gratitude to God Almighty for His infinite mercy and guidance throughout this journey without problem.
Our endless regards to our revered business partners and customers for their patronage, for without them, it would have been difficult to reach where we are at the moment.
Bra Parrot wants to extend a special appreciation to my respectable President Dr. Julius Maada Bio for keeping to his promise of repealing the obnoxious libel law.
The birthday party will not be merrier, if I, in my duty fail to extend a special felicitation to my YOUNG AND DYNAMIC PROPRIETOR to have remained strong and courageous notwithstanding the difficulties and challenges in the country.
The Patriotic Bird also appreciates the Independent Media Commission (IMC) for being very much magnanimous with Africa24 Newspaper during this one year of struggle.
To the Sierra Leone Vendor’s Association, I say kudos for your remarkable contributions so far and hope it will continue.
Cheers also go to the Sierra Leone Police for being so kind to us, not forgetting our numerous readers and sympathizers.
The only problem the Peaceful Bird has is with the State House because throughout last year, I was never invited for any official function at that important place as expected more so when I’m an elderly statesman.
But let me hasten to say that I’m not annoyed neither stomach grudge against our CHIEF. I want to believe it wasn’t a deliberate act for sure. The only thing, the Bird hopes that such will not be a business as usual come 2024.
Thanks and appreciations also go to our friends and colleagues in the media for been so co-operative with us.
However, Bra Parrot prays that our detractors will change their minds and try to work with us in the interest of national development.
In this regard, Bra Parrot wishes ALL his fellow countrymen a Merry Christmas and a prosperous and peaceful 2024.
God bless Sierra Leone! God bless Africa24 Newspaper!!
