Abstract:

Diamonds were discovered in Sierra Leone in 1930, and in 1934 sole mining rights were granted to the Sierra Leone Selection Trust (SLST), a subsidiary of the London-based Consolidated African Selection Trust, part of De Beers empire. In 1956, partly to restrict the increasingly prevalent illicit mining, and partly for political reasons, SLST opened part of its lease to mining by licensed miners under the Alluvial Diamond Mining Scheme (ADMS). The Sierra Leone government took over 51 per cent of the SLST shares in 1970, and a new company, the National Diamond Mining Company (NDMC), was formed.

Abstract:

This study focused on investigating the effects of foreign exchange rates on the market operations of bottling companies in Sierra Leone, using the Sierra Leone Bottling Company (SLBC) as the case study. The problem was found around bottling companies not maintaining the regular market operations and performance due to the drawbacks they face in foreign exchange risks. This effect often rests on the staff working for bottling companies like Sierra Leone Bottling Companies (SLBC) situated in Freetown, the capital city of Sierra Leone. Therefore, the research included a sample of 100 staff of SL

Abstract:

Palavers, great meetings, grand conferences, “tribal” meetings— these are terms used to describe meetings among peoples in and near Sierra Leone, meetings in which political, diplomatic, and economic questions are discussed and sometimes resolved at the village, intervillage, and occasionally, national levels. These conferences vary in size and importance, depending on dimensions of conflicts or questions to be resolved. This paper focuses on one such conference that convened at Forékariah, the capital of Moria, in 1805 and on circumstances leading to it. It is based largely upon a lengthy fir

Abstract:

The immediate circumstances which led up to the founding of Freetown in the 1790s were highly contingent, even freakish. Christopher Fyfe has stressed the role of the scientist and dubious adventurer, Henry Smeathman, in publicizing the misguided view that the Sierra Leone district provided an ideal ecological environment for settlement. More recently, Stephen Braidwood has shown that the 1787 choice of Sierra Leone as a suitable locality for settlement by the Black Poor of London, the earliest settlers, came about as a result of acceptance of Smeathman's view, not by the white philanthropists

Abstract:

Earnings management is the deliberate manipulation of the financial reporting process for one's own benefit. The majority of managers want to increase their ability to falsify financial statements. It explained the classification of earning management into two main groups: accrual earning management and real earning management. It also explains the three techniques managers use to perform earning management: sales manipulation, overproduction, and reduction of discretionary expenditure.

Abstract:

Young people are the major participants in most wars. In the African civil wars of the last twenty years combatants have become increasingly youthful. Some forces are made up largely of young teenagers; combatants may sometimes be as young as 8 or 10, and girl fighters are increasingly common. The trend to more youthful combatants also reflects the discovery that children—their social support disrupted by war—make brave and loyal fighters; the company of comrades in arms becomes a family substitute. There are two main adult reactions. The first is to stigmatise youth combatants as evil (‘bandi

Focusing on the “golden age” of Israel’s diplomatic relations in and throughout the continent from 1958 to 1973, Levin finds that Israel positioned itself as a developing-nation alternative in the competition over aid and influence between global North and global South. In analyses of the design and construction of prestigious governmental projects in Nigeria, Sierra Leone, and Ethiopia, Levin details how architects, planners, and a

Abstract:

The two related English-lexifier creole languages Krio (Sierra Leone) and Pichi (Equatorial Guinea) have diverged due to differing contact ecologies since their split in the 19th century. Krio is spoken alongside its lexifier English as well as Atlantic and Mande adstrates. Pichi is spoken alongside Bantu adstrates and has been in contact with its superstrate Spanish, but not with English. I analyse and compare tense, aspect, and mood categories as well as participant marking and serial verb constructions to show that (a) Krio has become more similar to English than Pichi to Spanish because existing overlaps between creole and lexifier forms have facilitated transfer; (b) both Krio and Pichi have, respectively, aligned themselves with the Macro-Sudan and Bantu spread zone typological profiles of their ecologies. I interpret the findings via the stratal-areal contact model (Yakpo 2017a) to explain the divergence of Krio and Pichi as part of the differentiation of the whole African Caribbean English Creole cluster.

Abstract:

This chapter talks about how the author ended up in the company of misfits as he was linguistically inept, socially disoriented, anomalous in appearance, and preoccupied by questions the point of which no one could grasp. It details the stories of misfits that shed light both on the forces that shape a human life and the ways those forces are suffered, resisted, and reimagined. It also mentions Mamina Yegbe Marah, who inadvertently offered the author insights into the magical uses of literacy. The chapter considers Mamina Yegbe and his persecutors as the interplay in their imaginations of several forms of external power. It describes the interplay of the different forms of power in people's everyday lives and imaginations.

Abstract:

Before the abolition of the slave trade in the British empire in 1807, colonial Sierra Leone was an experiment in free trade and free labour, founded by the Sierra Leone Company, a joint-stock company led by antislavery activists, and settled by African American Loyalists from Nova Scotia. This chapter explores the early history of the colony, and shows how antislavery was undermined by the routines of the transatlantic slave trade. Meanwhile, African American settlers were marginalised, and the arrival of 500 Jamaican Maroons in 1800 helped to cement the relationship between the leaders of the antislavery movement and the British armed forces.

Abstract:

In 1808, the laws abolishing the British slave trade came fully into force, and Sierra Leone became a Crown Colony, governed directly by a Crown-appointed Governor. The first Crown Governor, Thomas Perronet Thompson, was groomed by William Wilberforce for the post; Thompson was expected to follow the rules – including a tradition of very gradual emancipation through extended ‘apprenticeship’ – set by the Sierra Leone Company. He rebelled, and imagined that the hundreds of former slaves released by the Royal Navy from slave ships could be transformed into soldier-colonists, expanding the British footprint in West Africa.

Abstract:

Abstract All water companies need to be able to provide safe, adequate and reliable water supplies to their customers and consumers. Yet some work under very daunting conditions. The civil war in Sierra Leone resulted in the destruction of much water supply infrastructure. It also had a devastating impact on the performance of water companies. Since the war ended in 2002 other changes continue, such as: population growth, unplanned urbanisation, environmental destruction and climate change, plus the Ebola outbreak. These pressures all have a massive impact on the natural environment and on demands for water. It is against this background that Guma Valley Water Company is trying to rebuild water infrastructure and strengthen utility arrangements for providing a reliable and affordable service on which people depend. This article describes ongoing efforts to improve water supply in Freetown. The case study highlights the multi-faceted nature of resilience building and the processes that must be undertaken if water companies are to become resilient. Long-term technical and financial support is required, however, programmes should be realistic in their expectations.
