[4/23/2011 11:38:35 AM] Lansana Juana: We heard that you are coming to grace the independent anniversary celebration as one of to artists Sierra Leone is always proud, are you still coming?
[4/23/2011 11:42:12 AM] ALONZO ABASI: Yes, i was meant to be part of the celebrations but unfortunately i can’t make it due to reasons beyond my control
[4/23/2011 11:44:21 AM] Lansana Juana: Can you please let your fans know what are the reasons?
[4/23/2011 11:46:13 AM] Lansana Juana: You are a big artist in Sierra Leone, don’t you think that if there is no relavant reason for why you are not coming will creat some bad feelings for people that one to see you live
[4/23/2011 11:49:13 AM] Lansana Juana: I read one of the online news papers trying to say that you are not coming, but with no proper explanation
[4/23/2011 11:50:50 AM] ALONZO ABASI: Well,i was in total readiness to be part of the events cause it’s actually an historic one that every Sierra Leonean should be proud of but imagine a situation where am investing so much money single handedly on my projects and some people don’t wonna accept the fact that it’s no child’s play
[4/23/2011 11:54:57 AM] ALONZO ABASI: first i was told that everything is under control and was only waiting for the Government to release the funds. last minute, i was told that the money the Government gave was not enough so i should buy my own ticket and go do it for the country.
[4/23/2011 11:55:15 AM] Lansana Juana: What you are writing is what I’m going to let it be published, and I have my own online news paper, which I’m going to publish first.
[4/23/2011 11:59:47 AM] ALONZO ABASI: i love the country, that’s why i choosed to be part of this special occasion. I was given good offers by promoters in Australia,Canada,UK,and Dubai to celebrate the independence with them but a national call to me is very important but when disrespect comes in it actually not worth it.
[4/23/2011 12:00:46 PM] Lansana Juana: what do you mean by disrespect?
[4/23/2011 12:01:49 PM] Lansana Juana: You are doing this to update your fans, so that people will not tell lies about you in the way that will make fans discourage about you
[4/23/2011 12:02:23 PM] Lansana Juana: Because I’m here, and I’m hearing so many things about coming not coming
[4/23/2011 12:06:01 PM] ALONZO ABASI: The head of the Entertainment committee after previously telling me about the plans and told me not to take an offer from 23-27 April cause everything is set and the funds will be out soon later told me that i should buy my own ticket and go down on credit. He said i should pay for my own ticket and i take that as an insult
[4/23/2011 12:09:48 PM] ALONZO ABASI: why shoud i do dat in the first place?
[4/23/2011 12:11:42 PM] ALONZO ABASI: Am sure arrangements were finalized with the artists they’re bringing from Nigeria so why my own situation has to be different?
[4/23/2011 12:12:38 PM] ALONZO ABASI: All i can say is dat, am not disappointed at all cause this has been an everyday story.
[4/23/2011 12:13:03 PM] Lansana Juana: ok
[4/23/2011 12:14:07 PM] ALONZO ABASI: To my fans who’ve been waiting to see me, i am sorry about the development but Sierra Leone is ours so lets come together and make it a better place for us all.
