With all due respect Mr. Massallay, you are preaching to the choir. The People of Sierra Leone have been using the stairs for a very long time as they don't have electricity to operate the elevators. They have been taking their steps "one at a time", for the longest time, so what are you talking about? After the Civil War, there are many more who could not walk on flat land even if they want to because their legs and limbs have been amputated.

The People of Sierra Leone, have learned enough that their leaders are clueless and would not help them even when a new leader is elected in the next general elections. They have learned that their leaders are "2 fut aratas" whose only ambition is to take the "golden seat" and squander the country's resources.
If the People of Sierra Leone stop learning now, why should they be referred to as "old" when their life expectancy rate is less than 45 years. Without divine intervention, the people would never leave to see 80 years old, so why should they worry about their age. How old does the writer suggest the Salone people stop learning, if they want to reach their old (life expectancy) age of 45 years?
May the Soul of Brother Karamoh Kabba's 34 year old younger brother rest in Perfect Peace! He passed away many years
below the life expectancy rate of Sierra Leoneans.
