@MEMLAW007 So paying for 3 tables of 4 is cheaper than one table of 12 by $5000. 😂

@Red1Rider_ Congratulations 🥳

Sometimes I moonlight....but at all times I'm a Father. Welcome to the world little one.

@sierraeyesalone 8 wide body jets? But the terminal has only 4 gates and 2 PBB (Passenger Boarding Bridge)

A Bumpy Ride: Sierra Leone's Aviation Hub Aspirations Dented by AirFrance's Departure @AirFranceFR is indefinitely suspending its flights to and from the country in October this year. This suspension is a blow to the nation's aspirations of becoming a regional aviation hub. The decision, said to be attributed, to low traffic volume and high fees, poses significant challenges to both the nation's economy and its prospects for tourism. Just a few months prior, in March 2023, Sierra Leone celebrated a remarkable achievement - the inauguration of a state-of-the-art terminal at #Freetown International Airport, Lungi. Covering an impressive 14,000 m² area with a striking wavelike roof design, the terminal symbolized the country's determination to position itself as a pivotal player in West African aviation. With a capacity to handle up to 90,000 passengers per month and accommodate eight widebody jets simultaneously, the new terminal promised a seamless travel experience for passengers and an attractive opportunity for airlines looking to expand in the region. This development led us to anticipate more flights, not fewer. We were wrong. With the suspension of AirFrance, Sierra Leone is now left with only five major airlines serving the country, namely @TurkishAirlines, @FlyingBrussels, @KenyaAirways, @ASKY_airlines, and @royalairmaroc. This reduction in air carriers is detrimental to businesses and the nation as a whole, and it is projected to result in a substantial loss of revenue. Before AirFrance's suspension, many passengers were already exploring alternative travel options, such as road or boat travel to #Guinea and then flying from Conakry, where airfares might be more competitive. The loss of AirFrance flights will exacerbate this issue and risk further dwindling passenger numbers. As highlighted by @UmaruFofana (in a Facebook post), #SierraLeone must urgently rethink its tax policies to address the challenges faced by the aviation industry. Presently, passengers pay higher fares to travel to Sierra Leone compared to other destinations in West Africa. This dissuades potential travelers, especially members of the Sierra Leonean Diaspora, who make substantial investments in the country, from coming back home. Umaru's suggestion to review the tax structure and additional charges at the airport is well-founded and requires immediate attention from the authorities. The exorbitant cost of air travel also hampers Sierra Leone's potential as a tourism destination. Revisiting the country's economic and tourist policies is crucial to avoid short-sighted decisions that may result in significant long-term consequences. The present high costs deter international tourists from exploring Sierra Leone's natural beauty and rich cultural heritage. The suspension of @airfrance flights should serve as a wake-up call for Sierra Leone. While the opening of the state-of-the-art terminal marked a significant milestone, sustaining and expanding the aviation sector requires a comprehensive and strategic approach. Collaborating with airlines, revising tax policies, and enhancing promotional efforts to attract tourists are essential steps for #SierraLeone to fulfill its ambitions of becoming a thriving aviation hub and tourist destination in West Africa. Through proactive measures, we can rise above the current challenges and showcase our country. Let’s seize this opportunity and reform.

@tonkolili So what happens if it’s a Sierra Leonean with 2 sim.

Non-Sierra Leoneans hoping to travel out of #SierraLeone must obtain clearance from the Labour Commission to do so. This in a country where a Turkish national arrested for involvement in a shooting mysteriously vanished. Good to see we’re taking care of the important things.

@memuna I would love to know what that person thought he was gonna fix on the plane with that screwdriver

A Sierra Leonean is always prepared in case someone says “cam leh we eat!” Lungi airport departures - forks confiscated from passengers’ hand luggage

@MEMLAW1 May he continue to rest in perfect peace

@MEMLAW1 @sierraeyesalone @Makmid @atejancole @tonkolili @cechikezie @superrod001 @EMICHAEL1974 @enader @Martinmjmichael @michoman1973 Heston Blumenthal eat your heart out. 😂

To all the skeptics questioning his culinary prowess, behold the masterpiece on the plate before you! Dinner is served - a succulent dish, crispy on the outside, pink on the inside, complemented by a luscious balsamic onion jus and a divine au poivre sauce. And let's not forget the pièce de résistance, @MEMLAW1's special mashed potatoes - so delicious, it could make Gordon Ramsay, @ShwenShwenbyM and @ColeStreetSL shed a tear of joy. His kitchen prowess is a true masterpiece, blending flavors with precision and infusing love into every bite. So, please, step aside and let his cooking skills shine. Bon appétit, my friends. #CulinaryMaestro #GourmetDelights @MichaelBasita

@toubuya @MEMLAW1 What if the host/organiser are the ones that are late? 😂

@MEMLAW1 If people aren't on time just start the event anyway.

@ToyaGerber Thank God you’re safe and well. People laugh at me when I switch off EDSA when I leave my house.

Three days back and EDSA really tried to unalive me last night. When I tell you I hate living in this country.🙂 I’m fine, nostrils and lungs will probably be black for a week, but I am fine. THANK GOD. PSA stop sleeping naked. Took an extra minute from my escape time.

@MEMLAW1 After 33 years in my field, I think I’ve lost all resilience. But according to some we’re a very resilient nation
