As Hardship Hits Sierra Leoneans…

Kenema Artists Blast ‘’Paopa’’ Govt

In a strong outrage and outcry for change, a set of young musicians in Kenema, an SLPP stronghold, have released a song that speaks volume on the worse economic hardship faced by Sierra Leoneans on a daily basis under President Bio’s “Paopa’’ government.

The song reflects growing frustration and dissatisfaction with the current government, highlighting the painful and unbearable struggles faced by majority of the masses.

The lyrics convey a deep sense of disappointment, stating that “any man way survive Salone na superman,” meaning anyone who has endured the conditions in the country under this administration is nothing short of a hero.

They say that after years of promises by taking the people to the promise land, the “Paopa government” has failed to deliver on its promises, leaving many disillusioned. The song goes further to criticize the rampant corruption in the system, expressing that the very policies meant to move the nation forward have only caused sadness and hardship.

“Freedom is coming one day,” retorted the musicians. Symbolizing their hope for a change one day amidst the hardship the masses face especially young people. The song reflects that this is no time to sugarcoat the situation as the suffering is real. The song further condemns the government’s poor performance, noting that President Bio’s six years in power has not improved his citizens conditions, instead things are getting out of hands.

The young musicians emphasized that what Sierra Leone is witnessing now, under the Bio-led administration, is unprecedented and far from progress.

The people of the eastern region, a stronghold for the SLPP, now express their deep resentment and disappointment in the direction the country is heading. “We nor gladdy with the new direction,” they sing, a poignant statement that translates to “we no longer believe in this administration.” They implore the leadership to understand that dancing and parading in celebration of supposed successes only masks the true suffering on the ground.

This song has quickly become an anthem for those who are tired of the current state of affairs, expressing the sentiment of many who feel abandoned and ignored by the very government they once supported. The message is clear: the people of Kenema, like many across the country, are demanding a change, and they refuse to fake optimism any longer.
