Business And Economy

I am not sure what or how much did the oil marketers in Sierra Leone do to let the public know that the current free-fall in prices of oil and related products on the world market is not sustainable. I am saying the Sierra Leone government should never have rushed into reviewing pump prices as a consequence of those externalities that do not resonate here well.

This is 2015, and I am returning to the fabled discourse of how the ever growing world of communication has caused us to look back at the apparent superiority fray between Marking Communications geeks and Public Relations gurus.

Background

I have always had issues with government estimates and projections as they relate to economic growth and expansion, national and project budget requirements, investments in the public and private sectors and their outcomes. No regard for the implications on the behaviour of the public – the electorate to be more appropriate.

Dear Madame Lagarde:

I consider myself a media and communications practitioner who would later engage in public relations. I now gradually see myself making the marketing executive type. I have had a taste of the three worlds – Journalism, Public Relations, and Marketing. I, therefore, am coming from those backgrounds to look at how the relevance of public relations (PR) is gradually being subsumed by marketing.

Especially since it became a republic in 1971,Sierra Leone might not have witnessed some direct adverse situational effectsof this proportion on the public-private sector economic symbiosis as evident in the way the health sector operates in particular and the country in general.

As I watch the news channels (BBC, SKY News, ITV, Channel 4, Channel 5, Aljazeera), I cannot help but admire the courage of my fellow Sierra Leoneans even in the face of this killer disease. Sierra Leoneans are a really steadfast people. Sierra Leoneans even see the funny side of Ebola as seen by the numerous jokes on social media.
