Ever since “Watergate”, “WikiLeaks”, and the “Panama Papers”; there has never been a classic example of Investigative Journalism in recent times than the reports and analyses by the Africanist Press about the ruling Sierra Leone People’s Party (SLPP)’s lack of accountability and transparency in managing the Consolidated Revenue Fund.
The reports and analyses by the Africanist Press appear to be depictions of President Julius Maada Bio and his wife, Fatima, as spendthrifts. This has now given the impression that the Bio Family seems to be ruling Sierra Leone just like how the House of Saud is ruling Saudi Arabia.

With the benefit of hindsight, ‘the Poor Christ of Bomba’, a major novel written by Mongo Beti depicts the effects of French colonial infringement on the Cameroon landscape and consciousness. The novel charts the story of Father Superior Drumont, a Catholic priest assigned to the rainforest region of Cameroon around the 1930s. His professed task is to convert the indigenes of a six-tribe region to Catholicism. Despite Father Drumont’s seeming piety, he is not what he seems. Governed by the French colonial ideology of assimilation, he is bent on forcing his Christian converts to forsake their African traditions and cultural ways which of course include promiscuity as a condition for Christianity.
