A vision for the future of Sierra Leone | Julius Maada Bio

- Опубликовано: 5 окт 2024
- When Julius Maada Bio first seized political power in Sierra Leone in 1996, he did so to improve the lives of its citizens. But he soon realized that for democracy to flourish, its foundation needs to be built on the will of the people. After arranging an election, he voluntarily gave up power and left Africa. Twenty years later, after being democratically elected president of Sierra Leone, he reflects on the slow path to democracy, the importance of education for all and his focus on helping young Sierra Leoneans thrive.

I graduated Almaty Medical institute in 1996 with my friend Sar Moses Bandabla from Sierra Leone. He was killed in civil war 3 years later. Rest in peace, my friend
i have never voted in my life but i have nothing but admiration and respect for his great efforts...may god bless him and sierra Leonel.
This man is a visionary. I love his points on human capital- that people, all people are the most important resource to invest in. People with compassion and drive like this are the people changing the world. Thank you for this
A visionary that will order his army to shoot and kill innocent civilians just because they are protesting worsening conditions in the country?? This visionary of yours has killed peaceful protesters and jailed more political leaders in two years than any other president in the history of Sierra 🇸🇱
@@projectafrica6248 lies

Was it difficult to get your dual citizenship there?
Proud Sierra Leonean! Love our Head of State
The Liberation of our country, God would continue to bless u, H E Bio.
We need more leaders like him. In a sea of leaders while the advanced countries are turning to despots, he is a gust of fresh wind
Clinton Borges he is lying 🤥 no blood war or take over. This man as blood on his hands.
I didn't saw visionary leadership in him, he lacks competency to transform Sierra Leone.

U has nothing to offer we the Sierra Leonean as
The guy is a fraud. Worst president is the history of the country.

@@li_tsz_fung free education
We have 80% of people that are not educated
@@abiberjalloh2978 you are tribalistic liar from a tribe of criminals selling Sierra leoneans like fools. You know Mendes are SLPP and they are warmongers on other tribes who are Limba and temne and soso and fullahs.
@@li_tsz_fung if you hear any division talk must know it's very one sided.

HERE IS THE FINEST EXAMPLE FOR AFRICA> OTHER AFRICAN NATIONS WILL FOLLOW THIS MODEL> DO YOU LISTEN, AFRICAN NATIONS? IT IS TIME FOR YOUR DEVELOPMENT TOO!!!
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🥳🥳 beautiful speech Our President
Thank you Mr precedent , we Need Transmission in our belove nation. Er need Peace in the Land
We need our Economy to grow .
Not about SLPP but about S/L .
Let us thank about S/L.
The way he talks about the money needed to give education to all these children make it seens like its a lot, but then you realize lots of rich people spend this in a snap
He could be the most brilliant African president
The problem in a lot of African countries, is that they were controlled and oppressed for so long by colonialists, that nobody who holds power wants to give up even a single slice of the pie. Its complete control or war. The majority of the world live in places that have had democracy for hundreds of years. African countries were invaded, pillaged and sucked dry and these people who were dominated were handed a system they didnt understand, and wars inevitably broke out.
I hope this man can make a difference.
That was at least 3 generations ago. I bear no guilt for what mistakes my ancestors may have made, nor do I assume credit for their achievements.
The British empire ceded governance to it's native populations over 60 years ago. It's about time we all called it quits.
"I hope this man can make a difference." If he's to be believed, he already has.
I propose a toast to Julius Maada Bio. May he live long enough to enjoy the fruits of his labour, and the respect he so richly deserves
@@frankday1234 Yes, because after decolonialization the countries where finally able to become sovereign. During ColdWar... You do not believe that yourself do you? The continent just crashed after the end of the ColdWar. Some of these wars are still going on. The effects of colonialism are still there and sadly the world is still dealing with it.
@@frankday1234 Western countries raped the psychology of African people at a time when it was original .. The cultural gene cannot be quickly grown again.
Love this!
May God grant your heart desire for the country and oeople of Sierra Leone may God help you in Jesus name. GOD BLESS YOU IN JESUS 🙏🙏🇸🇱🇸🇱🇸🇱🇸🇱🇸🇱
he's Muslim
@@gjkdfh442 he is not. Besides, we Sierra Leoneans pray in both religions in public gatherings.
Mr President Bio,what is the differences of the people you are talking about during that time and now presently as you,you the elected president of the Republic of our Mama Salone from 2018 ????.
From,
'Salone family channel '.
Is true our Dear President saying that's right. Please Sir can you help develop Youths and Sport. My regards love and respect thank you.
Is the best leader ever Mama saleone have elected
Sierra Leone is making progress, has long way to go. Julius Maada Bio, Military Head of state for Sierra Leone leads a bloodless coup to gain power, then through democratic election. 3 out of 5 can not read/write. Support hopes and aspirations of the younger generation. #TEDTalk twitter.com/tedstalkin
he needs to look out to his friend Valentine, that man's life is too much of a tragedy.
We don't want to be reminded of this bloodywar.this is not something to boast of.please enough is enough.
May God be with you in Jesus name.🙏🙏🙏🙏🇸🇱🇸🇱🇸🇱🇸🇱🇸🇱
My the lord grant your heart desires
God 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 Bless 🙏🙏🙏🙏Father of Democracy
Amazing speech given by him motivational and also informative .Thanks for sharing such a kind of video to make people informative about it .I Akshara Khandewale is learning this in civics about law and indian parliament and fundamental rights and duties and directive principles of state policy
God help us in Sierra leone
After four years they are nor paying for female student in Sierra leone we are lost
The Hero of Sierra Leone
Start from agriculture and forestation . Thats how India recovered after british looted for 300 years and left it so poor that from 23%gdp to 3%
Wow I like his points
Visionary
What are some great business idea for Sierra Leone?
Do not forget captain Valentine Stressor even if you over threw him. He is still you brother.
To Sierra Leone..
The brutality of the RUF rebel Podeisanko makes the people call him the devil.
No country should deceive its people with its power.
No human being has the right to treat human beings abusively.
Don't forget the tragedies of the past.
It is the duty of the people to prevent another heinous politician, the militants, from coming forward.
In response to the achievements made by the people, the government should provide a lot of food and other economic activities.
Let us not forget that the nation exists through the efforts of the people. Soon, the people become the founding force of the country.
The people come first, not the country. There is nothing more important than the value of a person's existence.
In the past, we didn't know the importance of each and every one of these people.
Let's be courageous enough to swear to ourselves not to undermine the existence of each and every one of us.
Raise the value of your own existence so that you can become my country, my neighbor, my government, my country.
Then you will see the infinite possibilities.
There will be many countries around you that have grown, and with the cooperation of neighboring countries, grow your country into a peaceful and free country.
May peace, freedom, and abundance always be with Sierra Leone.
I am a citizen of the Republic of Korea, where freedom, peace, abundance, and technology coexist.
I hope that your country will enjoy all of this.
3:40 I don't mean to split hairs here, but his predecessor was also responsible for those elections.
His English is pretty good.
as to the rest...only time will tell...A very large step forward...but
can they hold power long enough to carry it off!
Is it enough to get investment to build the vision
I feel Sierra Leone is still a powder-keg... what now is what I ask?
Sierra Leone was a British colony, most people there speak English.
Ivan Loi broken English mostly
Am Kenyan, I've got feelings Valentine Strassor would have been the best for Siera Leonians
Africa rise from South Africa ✌️
Humans will always fight you closed attention without voice of reasons, as long as you are the opposite color your top warrior has to be in that sanction of protection in oder for you to walk through your survival, you can't an will not ever be protected as long as you are the opposite color race, pain is not a lesson, pain is vengeance to survive, guard yourself well an remember who you don't please as to act as a master servant, will threaten our till you forgotten, your homeland gives you time to survive not another man home, it's either you work or disappear fighting for your survival !
He should have done more to help Valentine Strasser!!!
I DON'T KNOW ABOUT WORLD SUPER POWER , BUT SOMEDAY SIERRA LEONE'S STREETS MAY BE OG GOLD .
AT ANY RATE , LIKE THIS LEADER , I AM SURE GLAD BILL GATES IS ALIVE ....
WOW
As long as black Afica has leaders like this, we are going nowhere.
Sierra Leone the best
You knoe why them sierra leone guys all over the world be having problems, when where young guys, we always have low haircuts, we need to grow out are hair so we can sense all are personalities remember human development is a full development not half the growth, when you design, you free up the attitude !
Very good
Nearly everyone in the audience stopped thinking and started to go by their feelings when Julius Maada Bio played a little bit of their emotions. He got what he wanted, but look at him now judge for yourselves if the picture he painted then an now are the same. Shame on humanity.
Very nice
Do these new government programs have sunset provisions ??
I am in no way downplaying whatever he is saying, or criticizing him in any manner but I do believe his accent makes it quite difficult to understand what he is saying...
I understood it just fine.
@@TT-dv9er oh fine it's just me then...
Looks like he's trying his best. Not sure why he'd offer full scolarships to all girls for STEM field studies though :s Pretty sure the motivated boys that are qualified to go there have poor parents too.
well bro, would you rather be in a room surrounded by nice girls or smelly guys?
I would go for the girls too. Kinda sexist but hey, its the truth.
To address the 2:1 male:female student disparity. As of 2013, only 17% of educators were female. It makes sense to prioritise marginalised groups to attain parity and equity.
Because the percentage of men and women wo had access to education was not equal.
He says that specifically on the speach..
@@tomvittino Exactly. HAD. Past tense. They leveled the playingfield with free base education. Every woman that now wants to get educated, can. They could issue loans to people that are currently unable to affort it, like we do over here, but full scollarships because you don't have a weiner is just wrong.
@Janusha It's only available to women that are already eligable to go to uni. Besides, if your country is as poorly educated as his is, it shouldn't matter if it's a he or a she, get all people educated. Equally.
Who wrote this speech? The British?
Before Fatima Bio took power...

Diamonds are forever...
No
Dis na disgrace to mama Salone hmm Lininka

Congrats you're *first*
Are like president bio is vision
This government is no different from the other. Oh, he has outlined the problems but he has no moral virtue and is illegitimate. Imagine receiving $75 million in funds for COVID relief and have it go to buying Toyota Prados.
De Man dea lie big time. did not do nothing for his people.
I don't know what language you are speaking.it sounds like English but I don't understand it
Gary Whites, it shows when these are his words, convictions and believes. Talk is cheap. Been there.... and seen it with my own eyes... no need to hear cheap talks and suits
They are doing reseach of sierra Leone brains. IQ check
Yes you were welcome but the country was disappointed
Good Sprache but little action go home and do your Work .
