Saidu has lived in Hull for decades and has played a key role in building relationships and initiatives between Hull and Freetown. He has campaigned tirelessly, alongside his 13-year-old daughter Sarah Koroma, to raise funds and resources to support a school breakfast club in Freetown.

Saidu is very passionate about this work and has a strong personal connection to Wilberforce School in Freetown. He is keen to see the school develop a meaningful partnership with Hull. The school is currently in need of repairs, which Saidu believes could become a collaborative project bringing together communities from both Freetown and Hull.

Happy Mothers Day Mother – Mrs P Fernandez 

We shall feed from the cradle that has fed nations ,

And nurtured our footprints before the storm,

Warm shields dressed in mantles of hope,

Blessed in the robes of an ageless song

We shall drink from the lakes that have bathed many sons,

And painted our dreams with a new tomorrow .

The story unfolded before we were born 

The glory was crawling – creating a song .

We are the living children of The African Mother , 

Breaking through the secrets of many new nations , 

For our home is best with the best of secrets ,

We are the reason behind old stories and mysteries, 

And the ancient cradle of a loving mother .

Happy Mothers Day Mum .

Lots of love 

Tony, Nicky and Steve

Vortex of delusions  

Light, dark, and colour

Strength, weakness, power 

What do they pursue? 

People are byproducts

Tools to be used!

Chaos and Confusion

A maelstrom of delusion  

The higher they climb,

The darker they rot in time.

Ordinary masses bleed

Children’s innocence, the cost we heed.

Who decides, 

Whose lives matter more? 

Greed, gluttony, lurking below,

Or is it darker still? 

Satanic, Devilish,

Desires that feast on will.

We have been waiting for this harvest ,

Long before the morning had opened its eyes, 

New riddles breathing through the palace of golden doors , 

Embraced by the  customs of a new celebration 

We have  been waiting for this moment since the crack of dawn,

Before new stories began to unfold 

Raw seasons dancing to the music of our past

More reasons to live and discover new paths 

We are living through the testimony of a new celebration, 

And your global footprints which have touched new lives ,

For today is the day to bring out the glasses 

A new party feeling , that is warm and loud 

Lots of love
