Behind the Scenes with Lans Omar - October 19, 2024.
Hello everyone!
From Winnipeg, Canada, respect to all my fam, fans, and friends!
The weekend vibes are here: Former SLAA president (Dr. Abu Conteh) addresses the public regarding the last SLAA election, funeral announcement for Malvin Smith in Winnipeg, Samura Kamara no longer the leader of APC, Bank of Sierra Leone minted coins in the question of the day, plus lots more. You're about to read another neck-breaking edition of “Behind the Scenes". This column is the radical thoughts of one guy called Lans Omar aka the “Golden Child” - born and raised in Freetown, Sierra Leone.
Let's do this: Dr. Abu Conteh, the former president of the Sierra Leone Association of Alberta (SLAA), has chosen to speak to the public following an extended period of silence. In a YouTube video published earlier this week, Dr. Conteh discussed the recent SLAA presidential election, which was marked by significant confusion.
Dr. Conteh elaborated on the manipulation of the election orchestrated by Foday Conteh, who secured victory by a significant margin. In the YouTube video, he asserted that a majority of Conteh's votes were not valid, and that the electoral commissioner ought to have invalidated those votes, thereby declaring Mariama as the rightful winner.

Next stop: The family of Marvin Clayton Smith, aka Big Marv of Small Ones Fashion store, deeply mourns his passing on October 1, 2024, at the age of 50. He was preceded in death by his father, Carol Vincent Smith. Marvin is survived by his mother, Joyce Gordon, his children Tashika, Tanisha, and Halo, as well as his grandchild, Amiyah. He is also remembered by his brothers Wayne, Steve, Carl, Easton, and Boris, along with numerous nieces, nephews, and extended family members.
A funeral service will be held on Saturday, October 26, 2024, at 10:00 AM at Cropo Funeral Chapel, located at 1442 Main Street, with visitation commencing one hour prior. Interment will take place at Glen Eden Cemetery, situated at 4477 Main Street.
Switching gears: The All People’s Congress (APC) has announced that Dr. Samura Kamara is no longer serving as the party leader. This declaration was made by Sidi Yayah Tunis, the National Publicity Secretary of the APC, during a broadcast on AYV Television. This development has generated considerable speculation regarding the leadership and future of APC, particularly as Dr. Kamara continues to be a prominent figure in the political landscape of Sierra Leone. The party is anticipated to provide further details in the days ahead.
Question: The Bank of Sierra Leone has announced the release of minted coins for public use. In a recent announcement, the bank indicated that the available denominations consist of coins valued at 1 cent, 5 cents, 10 cents, 20 cents, and 50 cents. For goodness sake, In that country, even Le.50.00 (old Leone) is insufficient to purchase anything, let alone coins. One must wonder, why are coins in circulation?
Finally: The weekend has arrived! I just returned from Toronto after celebrating my daughter's 18th birthday; I'm pretty exhausted from criss-crossing Toronto. Today, I'll be chilling at my neighbour's birthday party. I need some rest.
Fellas, If you plan to drink, please drink responsibly. If you’re driving, don’t drink – if you’re drinking, don’t drive.
Have a great long weekend! Lonta.
I'm out of here!
Cheers fellas!
The Golden Child.
