I am truly honored and grateful for the nomination of my mentor, Alfred Minkailu Payamba Koroma, to this prestigious recognition in political oratory and commentary. As his mentee, I have had the privilege of witnessing firsthand the profound impact he has made on my understanding of politics and governance in Sierra Leone. This nomination is not just a testament to his individual excellence but a validation of the timeless wisdom and passion he imparts to those around him. I write this piece of appreciation to affirm that the nominators have made an impeccable choice, one that reflects the highest standards of leadership and intellectual rigor in our nation's discourse.

Comrade Minkailu Koroma stands unrivaled as the best political orator and commentator in Sierra Leone today, a title earned through years of eloquent speeches that cut through the noise of partisan debates to deliver clarity and truth. His ability to weave complex political narratives into compelling, accessible arguments has inspired countless citizens to engage more deeply with the issues shaping our democracy. Whether addressing rallies or analyzing current events, his words resonate with authenticity and power, fostering unity rather than division. Nominating him was no mistake; it was a recognition of his unmatched skill in turning rhetoric into a force for positive change, ensuring that Sierra Leone's political conversations remain vibrant and informed.

What sets Minkailu apart is his encyclopedic knowledge of politics and governance, which positions him as the foremost authority in the country at this moment. He doesn't merely recite facts; he dissects policies, historical precedents, and global trends with a precision that reveals insights others overlook, always grounded in Sierra Leone's unique context. From his breakdowns of electoral reforms to his critiques of institutional accountability, his analyses have influenced public opinion and even shaped policy discussions among leaders. The nominators saw this depth and chose wisely, as his expertise continues to elevate the standard of political commentary, making complex governance issues understandable and actionable for all.

As a mentee, I can attest to how Minkailu's guidance has transformed my own perspective, challenging me to think critically and speak boldly on matters of national importance. His nomination reassures me that true excellence is being celebrated, not overlooked, and it motivates me to carry forward his legacy of principled advocacy. Far from a misstep, this decision highlights the nominators' keen eye for talent that drives progress, ensuring that voices like his amplify the aspirations of Sierra Leoneans everywhere.

In nominating Minkailu Koroma, the committee has not only honored a remarkable individual but also reinforced the value of intellectual leadership in our society. His contributions as the premier orator and commentator, backed by matchless knowledge, makes him the ideal recipient. I am confident that this choice will inspire greater civic engagement and set a benchmark for future recognitions. Thank you for seeing in him what so many of us already know: a beacon of political wisdom whose light will guide Sierra Leone forward.

Salone Celebrities Present Mende Cultural Festival.

Me: Barrister, someone is owing me money.
50k.

Lawyer: any proof as to that effect?

Me: no.

Lawyer: write to him to pay you your 70k.

Me: sir, but what he is owing me is 50k.

Lawyer: don't worry, just do as I have told you.

Me: okay sir.

I then wrote to the person owing me to pay me my 70k.

And his reply was "what I am owing you is 50 and not 70k"

I then showed barrister the reply I got from him.
And he was like "that is an evidence we will use against him"😂😂😂

🔴 I Will Deliver the Southeast to the APC in 2028 🔴

For too long, the Southeast has been called a no-go zone for the APC. I reject that. With the right message, strategy, and organization, we can win everywhere.

That’s why I, Samuel Active Conteh, pledge to organize and mobilize in Kenema, Kailahun, Bo, Pujehun, Bonthe, Moyamba, and Kono, engaging youth, women, elders, and traditional leaders.

The Southeast is ready for change. I will make sure the APC is visible, trusted, and victorious, delivering the first-ballot victory in 2028.

🟥 Vote Samuel Active Conteh – Deputy National Organizing Secretary
👉 Together We Organize, Together We Win

I have listened to the cries of our people.
I have learned from the struggles of our youth.
I have been tested by challenges, and I have been strengthened by trials.

Today, I rise, not for myself, but for every young person who believes in the power of the APC and the future of Sierra Leone.

It is time to Organize with courage.
It is time to Mobilize with unity.
It is time to Win with purpose.

The Young People of the APC are not standing behind me, they are standing with me. Together, through me, we are running for the office of Deputy National Organizing Secretary of the APC.

This is our time. This is our movement. This is our victory to claim. ✊🏾🔥

Ibrahim Fofana, this was one of the reasons you blocked me on my real account, because I corrected you previously when you thought you are Mr. Know-all, when in reality you are just an average individual. Secondly, you think that appearing on House of Stars and wasting money on voting makes you famous all over Sierra Leone, as if you are now a celebrity.

No wonder you were rejected from participating in the SLPP Young Generation Elections. You thought you were famous enough or had all the requirements to contest for the election. Did you know Ing Kallon? Can you fight him? Twwww. It was funny that you thought you could challenge Ing Kallon, who has control over all the youth in the Sierra Leone People’s Party. Even the candidate that Fatima supported can beat you hands down without wasting time.

Money Talks is owned by Samuel Active Conteh. Who is Samuel Active Conteh? Samuel emerged as the best student in the Eastern Region after sitting WASSCE, and he was among the best ten nationwide, something you have never achieved in your life. You have never come close to his educational track records. He was the first student to ever graduate with a First Class in B.Sc. Economics and score the highest GPA ever, 5.00 (getting A’s in all modules). Something you have never achieved in your entire life.

Samuel Active Conteh won the National Debate in Freetown when two people were representing each district. They won the competition in 2016, something you will never dream of achieving in your entire life. He has won numerous debates in Sierra Leone, coaching people to become powerful public speakers in this country.

Currently, Samuel Active Conteh is pursuing an LLB at UNIMAK, a program you are afraid to study because you don’t want to drop out. This man has traveled, because of his brain, to Ghana, Togo, South Africa, Nigeria, Canada and the USA. You have never achieved all this, but you are on Facebook acting as if you are Mr. Know-all. You can’t compete with Samuel in any intellectual debate in Sierra Leone.

Beyond that, Samuel is a Business Coach, Financial Expert, and Author. He has traveled to teach people about Business and Financial Education. He was in Liberia, Togo, Senegal, Nigeria, and Ghana teaching people, and he got paid. You have never dreamed of that. I doubt if you have ever even crossed Lungi with the aim of teaching people in another country. Samuel has authored two financial books and sold the e-books to interested people.

As a politician, he has succeeded. Even in opposition, he is making more money than you and living a better life than you do. With your meager paycheck that you are receiving now at your workplace, Samuel can employ and pay you if you want. He has established businesses in Freetown and Kenema. He owns the leading and best barbershops in Kenema (located at Plaza) and in Freetown (Papa Sam Barbershop at Ogo Farm).

Samuel Active Conteh is the Regional Young Congress Leader, East, and former President of the National Union of APC Students. He is well known in the All People’s Congress. When Maada introduced the PR system in 2023, among 11 constituencies in Kenema District, he was the first candidate among all the 11 aspirants, something you will never achieve in your entire life. You will never get an MP symbol under any party in Sierra Leone not to talk about SLPP you claim it's your party when nobody knows you. It was funny when Former Minister of Youth were sacked and posted on Facebook that you can volunteer as Minister of Youth🤣. When last did you see someone volunteer to become Minister? It was an insult to our country.

Samuel owns vehicles but has never bragged about them online, unlike you, who posted a small and outdated vehicle that was even a contribution from people before you managed to achieve one.

I hope you can now understand that you and Samuel are not mates in Sierra Leone. If you are ready for an intellectual debate, I am ready.
