Our Services

At RbnLive News and Radio, we harness the power of digital technology and social media to create meaningful change in the Upper Guinea Coast, the Mano River Union countries, and West Africa as a whole. Our mission is to advocate for social justice, empower the youth, educate communities, and provide purposeful entertainment that resonates with the cultural and social realities of the region.

Advocacy & Sensitisation

In the Upper Guinea Coast and the Mano River Union countries—Sierra Leone, Liberia, Guinea, and Côte d'Ivoire—social justice challenges are deeply rooted in historical, political, and socio-economic contexts. Issues such as gender inequality, human rights abuses, political marginalization, and social exclusion persist, impacting the lives of vulnerable and marginalized groups.

Youth Empowerment

The youth population in West Africa, particularly within the Mano River Union countries, is growing rapidly, but so are the challenges of unemployment, poverty, political disempowerment, and lack of quality education. We believe that empowered youth are the driving force behind sustainable development and social change.

Educational Programming

Education is the cornerstone of social and economic development, but access to quality education remains a challenge in many parts of West Africa. At RbnLive News and Radio, we are committed to bridging this gap by delivering accessible, relevant, and impactful educational content.

Fatima Bio Saga—Ego vs. Ethical Standards unpacks the fiery clash between personal ambition and public duty in Sierra Leone's leadership. With sharp satire and bold truths, this episode exposes how unchecked ego threatens ethics, transparency, and trust. From media suppression to legacy politics, we ask: is power being used for service—or selfies? Join us as we explore the complexities and reveal the drama that lies beneath the dignity.
FATIMA BIO SAGA-EGO VERSUS ETHICAL STANDARDS
Ignorance, hypocrisy, and political interference are critically undermining international trust and Sierra Leone's economy. A lack of informed leadership and evidence-based decision-making fuels corruption, weakens institutions, and distorts national priorities. Political interference erodes the independence of public institutions, discouraging foreign investment and donor confidence. These factors contribute to policy inconsistency, poor service delivery, and mismanagement of resources, which in turn stifle economic growth, deter private sector development, and limit opportunities for sustainable development. The result is a cycle of poverty, disempowerment, and increasing international scepticism about the country's governance and economic potential. Ignorance and political interference have significantly eroded international trust and undermined Sierra Leone's economic development. A persistent lack of informed leadership, coupled with systemic corruption and weak institutional frameworks, has led to policy inconsistencies, mismanagement of resources, and a fragile investment climate. Patronage networks and the politicisation of public institutions mark the country's history of governance. During the post-independence era, political elites exploited state resources for personal gain, often leveraging ethnic divisions to consolidate power. This predatory governance model drained state resources and marginalised large segments of the population, fostering deep-seated distrust in government institutions. Corruption remains endemic in Sierra Leone, permeating various sectors, including healthcare, education, and the extractive industries. The misuse of public funds and lack of accountability have hampered service delivery and deterred foreign investment. For instance, the illicit diamond trade, which flourished during the civil war, continues to pose challenges despite international efforts to regulate it. The persistence of such practices signals to the international community a lack of commitment to transparent and responsible governance. Political interference further exacerbates these issues by undermining the autonomy of key institutions. Appointments based on loyalty rather than competence have led to inefficiencies and a lack of professionalism within the civil service. Moreover, the suppression of dissent and the manipulation of electoral processes have raised concerns about the country's democratic credentials, leading to scepticism among international partners and donors. The cumulative effect of these factors is a vicious cycle where poor governance erodes public trust, discourages investment, and stifles economic growth. To break this cycle, Sierra Leone must prioritise institutional reforms that promote transparency, accountability, and inclusive governance. Strengthening the rule of law, ensuring the independence of oversight bodies, and fostering civic engagement are critical steps toward rebuilding international confidence and setting the country on a sustainable development path.
CHEAP TALKS AND ACTIONS EQUAL FAILED STATE
Sierra Leone’s governance crisis is deeply rooted in the underperformance and erosion of its key democratic institutions — the executive, legislature, judiciary, and a failing public service. Each arm of government faces credibility issues, operational inefficiencies, and a growing disconnect from the public, creating a toxic environment for accountability, service delivery, and democratic development. Sierra Leone’s democratic institutions — the executive, legislature, and judiciary — are widely perceived as underperforming or compromised. • The Executive has faced persistent criticism for centralising power, mismanaging national resources, and failing to implement its reform pledges. Presidential promises to tackle corruption, improve service delivery, and stimulate the economy have often gone unrealized, reinforcing public cynicism. • The Legislature, charged with oversight and lawmaking, struggles with partisanship, weak accountability, and limited independence. Parliamentary debates are often shallow and driven by party loyalty rather than public interest, contributing to weak legal frameworks and policy stagnation. • The Judiciary suffers from inefficiency, underfunding, and political interference. Legal processes are slow, corruption cases frequently stall, and citizens lack confidence that justice can be delivered impartially. The rule of law is undermined when politically connected individuals operate with impunity.
How Sierra Leone’s Core Governance Structures Are Failing Its Citizens
The Yenga dispute between Sierra Leone and Guinea exemplifies how the neglect of research and the dominance of ego in governance can stall conflict resolution for decades. Spanning over 25 years and three administrations, the issue remains unresolved despite the availability of clear legal, historical, and demographic evidence. A research-driven approach offers a viable path forward—leveraging international law, historical treaties, maps, and population data to substantiate Sierra Leone's claims. By embracing evidence-based policymaking, conflict early warning systems, and cross-border cooperation, leaders can transform Yenga from a prolonged crisis into a model for peaceful resolution and regional diplomacy. JOIN US TONIGHT TO OPEN THE CORRECT PATHWAYS TO SOLVING THE YENGA ISSUE.
IGNORANCE A DETERENCE TO NATION BUILDING AND SECURITY
Electoral justice refers to the comprehensive legal, institutional, and procedural guarantees that ensure every aspect of the electoral process is conducted fairly, transparently, and in accordance with the rule of law. Its primary aim is to protect the political rights of citizens, particularly the right to vote and to be elected, while providing mechanisms to prevent, address, and remedy electoral violations and disputes.
ELECTORAL JUSTICE AND SIERRA LEONE :HOW WE DETER OUR FUTURE!
Poor communication, misinformation, disinformation, and propaganda have significantly fueled instability and division in Sierra Leone, particularly during the civil war (1991–2002) and in the post-war period. During the war, disrupted communication led to the spread of rumors, rebel propaganda, and mistrust in media, all of which intensified violence and social fragmentation. In the post-war era, political disinformation, fake news on social media, and media bias have continued to undermine democratic processes and trust in institutions. Politicians often exploit ethnic and regional identities for political gain, deepening divisions. These dynamics obstruct peacebuilding, reconciliation, and social cohesion by distorting historical narratives and weakening institutional credibility.
MESSAGING AND STAGNATION IN SIERRA LEONE
Sierra Leone’s development hinges on emotionally intelligent leadership and active citizen engagement. True progress requires leaders who are empathetic, visionary, and accountable, and a population ready to take personal responsibility for national growth. Reforming education to promote critical thinking, leveraging cultural resilience, engaging the diaspora, and embracing digital innovation are key strategies. Mental health and public wellness must also be prioritized. Ultimately, development is a shared journey—driven not by miracles, but by the daily decisions of Sierra Leoneans committed to unity, integrity, and progress. The future is ours to build—together.
DO WE KNOW WHAT TO DO IN SIERRA LEONE
Sierra Leone’s current instability cannot be understood without acknowledging its long history of trauma. Beyond civil war and colonial legacies, the country’s social and psychological wounds trace back to pre-colonial conflict and Arab influence, which introduced slavery and disrupted local identities. The transatlantic slave trade and European colonization further deepened this trauma, fostering alienation and dependency. After independence in 1961, colonial systems remained, fueling inequality and culminating in a devastating civil war that scarred a generation. Over time, this trauma became internalized: traditional masochism valorized suffering; impunity became a survival strategy; and cultural self-destruction manifested in tribalism, silence, and distrust. These patterns continue to shape national identity, hindering healing and unity. Understanding these deep-seated dynamics is essential for building a just, resilient, and reconciled Sierra Leone.
HOW DO WE HEAL SIERRA LEONE
In Sierra Leone, the challenges of governance are intricately tied to the rise of egoism and unchecked affluence among political elites. At the heart of this issue lies a growing culture of self-interest, where public office is often viewed not as a platform for service but as a gateway to personal enrichment. Egoism in governance manifests when leaders prioritize personal gains and prestige over national development. In Sierra Leone, this attitude has contributed to a disconnect between elected officials and the grassroots realities of the citizens they serve. Many leaders indulge in performative leadership—lavish convoys, extravagant events, and constant international travel with little developmental return—instead of focusing on policies that address poverty, education, healthcare, and job creation. In a country where a significant percentage of the population lives below the poverty line, the ostentatious lifestyle of public officials becomes not just a moral dilemma but a source of public frustration. Luxury vehicles, high-end real estate, and foreign medical trips are common among those in power, creating a stark contrast with the crumbling infrastructure and underfunded public services endured by ordinary Sierra Leoneans.
