In the 1950s and 60s Africa was spreading the message of nationalism and the end of colonial rule. As the years went by, the circle of an independent Africa got bigger and bigger with Ghana gaining independence in 1957, Nigeria in 1960, Senegal in 1960, Algeria in 1962, Kenya in 1963, Zambia in 1964 and so on.
Sierra Leone too triumphantly joined the circle on 27th April,1961 as we achieved independence from Britain. It has been 60 years since that historic victory for self-determination. A self-determination that called for the people of Africa to freely choose their systems of governance and pursue their economic dreams. Marcus Garvey, Kwame Nkrumah and Bob Marley could not have asked for a better time for the African liberation.
