That was precisely what happened this week when the Gambian-born Fatima Jabbe Bio encountered the BBC. It was one of the most disgraceful and self-inflicted interviews from Julius Maada Bio’s regime. “An own goal, a blunder of the highest risk,” a pundit said. (Photo: Fatima, Maada and daughter).

Fatima Jabbe Bio’s BBC interview, where she shamelessly spewed lies, was not only embarrassing, but the illegal First Lady displayed total disrespect for African women due to her ignorance of the honest history of African women pre-Western and Arab influences.

To hear a so-called champion of ‘girls’ rights’ spreading misleading facts and figures about Sierra Leone and Africa in general depicts clear signs of stupidity, ignorance, pomposity, and displays a knowledge deficiency of Sierra Leone, Africa and world affairs, past and present.

BBC journalist Megha Mohan was herself baffled by the many incorrect answers Fatima Bio, aka Mob Justice, was giving. For instance, Fatima stupidly disassociated herself from her own stepson-in-law, Joseph Johannes Leijdekker, alias Bolle Jos, Europe’s most wanted drug fugitive.

Pretending not to know Bolle Jos when the BBC squeezed Fatima about the Bonthe Church pictures where the First Family was seen posing with Bolle Jos, was the highlight of Fatima’s blatant lies. Everyone knows that it was Fatima herself who took those incriminating photos. (Photo: Drug Baron Bolle Jos and wife Agnes Bio and Maada and Fatima).

Out of marital jealousy, Mob Justice Fatima posted the photos on social media, a blunder that alerted the Netherlands authorities, who eventually confirmed that the presence of their Dutch drug fugitive Jos Leijdekker in Sierra Leone is 100% true.

Shameless Fatima, who swindled over three million dollars from her ill-fated ‘Hands Off Our Girls’ group, publicly denied Bolle Jos and even told the BBC that she does not want to talk about Bolle Jos because she does not know anything about him.

Keen political analysts could see the jittery and panicked mood engulfing Fatima during the BBC Programme interview, especially as the recent capture of the drug ship linked to her husband’s SLPP regime becomes apparent and dangerous.

Too little too late for poor Fatima Bio’s plan to withdraw from her involvement with the drug baron Bolle Jos, as it is clear as crystal, and there is no way back from this evil association that continues to dent the already tarnished image of Sierra Leone worldwide.

Moreover, Fatima lied about her appearance and asylum in the United Kingdom. She lied that she ran away from Sierra Leone at the age of 12 years during the height of the civil war and finally found herself in the UK, where her new life began. (Photo: Maada and Fatima with Bolle Jos in church).

Fatima gave the impression that she came alone, a frightened little teenage girl who had escaped a forced marriage arranged by her wicked father in Sierra Leone. She said her enslaved mother advised her to ‘Run’ to freedom and eventually landed in England.

The Gambian-born Fatima failed to explain her exploits in the Gambia, where she was hopping from one man to another and had two children from two different fathers. She did not mention her alleged exploits of the former Gambian dictator, President Yahya Jammeh.

Fatima did not say she landed in the UK with two children. And most ridiculously, Fatima did not say she was allegedly brought to the UK through the assistance of her then lovey-dovey boyfriend, one Mr Ahmed Sesay, whose romances paved the way to London.

Also, Fatima displayed gross insubordination against African women. When you hear Fatima disrespecting African women by saying that African culture forces teenage marriage with no regard to the consent of the mothers, you see the ignorance of idiots like Fatima.

Downplaying the rich culture of African heritage and uplifting Western culture, regarding the equality of women, indicates a lack of knowledge of African civilisation before the Arabs and Europeans touched it. (Photo: Bolle Jos with Maada Bio’s brothers).

Fatima and others who are ignorant of the powers of African women pre-foreign influences should note that our great African ancestors had the highest respect for black women thousands of years ago. Then, in Africa, some goddesses controlled life and everything.

The concept of equality of men and women was never a topic to discuss because no stupid man would challenge a woman at the time. Wherever there was a god, you had a goddess sitting side by side doing things in unison.

It was the Arab and European ways of life that polluted the African way of living, which was of the highest spiritual being. No one talks about equality because that was not a problem. Man and woman were on equal footing.

During those ancestral days, no one said, “I am bigger than my mother,” the giver of life. Equal? How can you say you are equal to your mother or grandmother? Such stupid topics were never discussed because gender equality was never an issue. Women were even higher than men. But today, most women do not have confidence that they are the best. (Photos: Cocaine ship captured in Spain that came from Sierra Leone).

An inferiority complex is affecting the ignorant ones. Sadly, the advent of foreign influences in Africa, the cradle of civilisation, from organised religions such as Islam and Christianity, demeaned the position of women. Women became an afterthought, a footnote, disrespected, and now equality has become an issue in the West and worse in Arab nations.

Today, in Western countries, women are still fighting for equality. A man and a woman can have the same qualifications, but the man will earn more! This is happening in the UK, the US, and major democracies. Buffoons like Fatima Bio, who have no inkling about the powers of women, are trying to impress the West by disrespecting African women.

Fatima needs more lessons in African history before she continues to disgrace herself on the international stage. Politically, a novice like Fatima plotting for the presidency in Sierra Leone is one of the most ridiculous ambitions a foreign national could ever fathom. Sierra Leoneans would never allow Fatima to be president, especially with all the negative baggage she is carrying. Oops.

Liar Fatima did not stop there. She went on to say she is not getting paid as ‘First Lady’. How come you are now a millionaire in just over seven years? Where did your wealth come from? Another disturbing lie was Fatima saying she is the youngest First Lady in Sierra Leone’s history, and that is why she is outspoken. Have you forgotten Fatmata Shaw, President Momoh’s wife? Was President Kabbah’s wife, IJ, not young? Lying so publicly does not help your tattered image, Fatima.
