I buy newspapers to make money to buy more newspapers to make more money.

Like having your own licence to print money.

Think until it hurts.

I'm quite content to spend my life helping young people find themselves. I've had my fill of politics.

In early 1993, when I was 12, I was separated from my family as the Sierra Leone civil war, which began two years earlier, came into my life.

Those who write the editorials and those who write the columns, they simply are unaccountable. They're free to impose their cultural politics in the name of freedom of the press.
