The Fatima They Didn’t Tell You About? No, Boima JV Boima Just Made It Up

First Lady of Sierra Leone Fatima Bio

“Milking The Cow”

By Alpha Amadu Jalloh

 “Loyalty to a spouse is neither leadership nor competence. It is certainly not service to a nation.”

Boima JV Boima, who absurdly calls himself Mr. Justice, has produced one of the most flagrantly dishonest pieces in Sierra Leonean commentary in recent memory. His article, The Fatima They Didn’t Tell You About, is not journalism. It is propaganda. It is a glorified fan letter, a carefully constructed fairy tale meant to shield Fatima Maada Bio from any scrutiny. Boima wants readers to believe they are learning the truth about Sierra Leone’s First Lady, but in reality, he offers exaggerations, selective storytelling, and emotional manipulation that insult the intelligence of anyone who can think critically.

Boima starts with the preposterous claim that Fatima Maada Bio’s only crime is loving her husband too much. This is not just absurd; it is insulting. Boima JV Boima expects Sierra Leoneans to mistake personal devotion for public service. By equating loyalty to an individual with commitment to national development, he attempts to elevate personal allegiance to a moral virtue. This is propaganda, not journalism. It sets the tone for an article that systematically avoids accountability, reality, and the truth.

He claims she mobilized support, empowered girls, and built hospitals, portraying her as a heroic champion of women and children. The reality is far from heroic. Much of what Boima describes is political theater, cosmetic gestures, and photo opportunities designed to create a carefully curated public image. Boima JV Boima conveniently ignores that these so-called initiatives often coincide with election cycles, ensuring maximum optics while doing little to address structural problems that have plagued Sierra Leone for decades. Labeling this heroism is an insult to every Sierra Leonean who continues to face systemic neglect.

“Fundraising for a political party benefits the party, not the people. Turning political activity into moral heroism is disingenuous.”

Boima elevates her role in party fundraising and the establishment of party offices as acts of selfless virtue. Boima spins these actions as evidence of commitment to the nation, but in reality, they strengthen a political machine while ordinary citizens continue to suffer from inadequate services, failing infrastructure, and widespread mismanagement. Any journalist worth the name would ask how these activities tangibly benefit the public rather than the career of a political spouse. Boima JV Boima fails that basic test completely.

He praises her Hands Off Our Girls campaign, highlighting her role in lobbying against child marriage, providing sanitary pads, and overseeing hospital renovations. These interventions, while superficially appealing, are temporary and cosmetic. Providing sanitary pads may ease one problem briefly, but it is not systemic. Lobbying without consistent follow-through produces no lasting change. Renovating hospitals cannot erase decades of neglect in the health sector. Boima transforms these superficial measures into a narrative of heroism, manipulating public perception while ignoring reality. This is storytelling masquerading as investigative reporting.

Boima presents her as a fearless anti-corruption advocate, claiming she called for audits and challenged complacency. This is laughable. How can someone so deeply entwined with an administration riddled with mismanagement genuinely be described as an anti-corruption crusader? Proximity to power and participation in its structures does not suddenly confer integrity or courage. Boima JV Boima expects Sierra Leoneans to applaud her because she allegedly threatens elites, while ignoring that she remains an integral part of the system that allows corruption and inefficiency to thrive unchecked. This selective narrative construction is misleading and insulting to anyone who understands accountability.

Boima frames her loyalty to her husband as if it were national service. He claims she fights for his legacy and equates this devotion with selfless dedication to the country. Loyalty to a spouse does not replace policy effectiveness, transparency, or ethical leadership. Boima’s insistence on framing personal devotion as heroic public service is a transparent attempt to shield her from legitimate critique while convincing readers to admire what is essentially personal allegiance dressed as patriotism.

Boima JV Boima manipulates emotion, cherry-picks events, and omits crucial context throughout his article. He describes selective positive outcomes while ignoring systemic failures that persist under the administration she is part of. His piece is not journalism; it is propaganda. It reduces complex realities to simplistic narratives, transforming minor cosmetic actions into symbols of heroism while erasing accountability, responsibility, and the lived experiences of ordinary Sierra Leoneans.

By turning Fatima Maada Bio into an untouchable icon, Boima JV Boima does a great disservice to the public. Sierra Leoneans deserve honest reporting, not hagiography. Public service must be measured by tangible impact, ethical conduct, and systemic improvements, not by personal loyalty, political proximity, or staged initiatives. Boima deliberately confuses these distinctions to manufacture a narrative that flatters rather than informs.

Fatima Maada Bio occupies the position of First Lady, but that does not place her beyond critique. Her interventions, influence, and role in the administration must be analyzed critically. Boima JV Boima, by contrast, produces fairy tales disguised as investigative accounts, and this kind of writing is dangerous because it erodes accountability, misleads the public, and shields political actors from scrutiny. Sierra Leoneans deserve facts, context, and honesty, not myths created by a propagandist intent on glorifying a political spouse.

Boima JV Boima’s article is a masterclass in selective storytelling, emotional manipulation, and political flattery. It dresses loyalty as heroism, cosmetic gestures as transformative impact, and proximity to power as integrity. Nothing in his narrative withstands critical scrutiny. It is a product of bias, agenda-driven writing, and deliberate omission of inconvenient truths. Sierra Leoneans are presented with fiction, not fact. Boima JV Boima may style himself Mr. Justice, but his article is a monument to distortion and propaganda, not to truth or accountability.

Sierra Leoneans deserve honesty. Boima JV Boima delivered fiction. Fatima Maada Bio may hold the title of First Lady, but she is not beyond critique, and anyone who attempts to shield her from scrutiny with fanfare and selective storytelling is doing a disservice to the country.

 “And lastly, this article is nothing but a ploy to milk the cow which is an audience of One.”

Boima JV Boima has mistaken loyalty for competence, cosmetic gestures for meaningful impact, and proximity to power for integrity. He expects readers to suspend critical thinking and applaud a narrative that benefits only those at the top. This is not journalism. It is spin. It is manipulation. Sierra Leoneans deserve far better than fairy tales written to glorify political spouses at the expense of truth. Boima JV Boima should take note: the public can see through myths, and no amount of flattery, repetition, or selective storytelling can mask reality.
