THE HONORABLE JULIUSDANIEL MATTAI
(Intro: Heavy, thumping bassline enters, accompanied by a bright, rhythmic horn section. The drum hits a classic one-drop reggae beat. The backing vocalists set a soulful, reverent tone.)
JAH RASTA FARAI,SIERRA LEONEANS ,AFRICANS THE WORLD AT LARGE,HEAR ME THIS. I present you :A GREAT LEADER,TECHNOCRAT, ADMINISTRATOR,LEADER,A TRUE AFRICAN SOLDIER WITH THE PEN.
(Chorus)
Let us recall the great men of our land,
Those who build the nation with a steady hand!
We sing of a leader, true and upright,
Shining a beacon of hope in the night.
Honorable Julius Daniel Mattai, we salute your name,
Transforming the minerals, changing the game!
From the south to the world, a Pan-African son,
Mama Sierra Leone says, "Well done, well done!"
(Verse 1)
Born in the South, where the sweet rivers flow,
To the legendary Bo School, he was chosen to go.
Excellence and perfection, his guiding light,
A brilliant young mind, remarkably bright.
From the shores of Salone to the Soviet land,
He mastered the science, he grasped the command.
A Master’s degree earned, then off to the UK,
Sharpening his vision for a brighter day.
Across the borders, his footsteps would stride,
With knowledge and wisdom as his only guide.
(Chorus)
Let us recall the great men of our land,
Those who build the nation with a steady hand!
We sing of a leader, true and upright,
Shining a beacon of hope in the night.
Honorable Julius Daniel Mattai, we salute your name,
Transforming the minerals, changing the game!
From the south to the world, a Pan-African son,
Mama Sierra Leone says, "Well done, well done!"
(Verse 2: Dub breakdown - bass and drums dominate, horns accentuating)
He built his own firm, the best in the zone,
A master of big data, a king on his throne.
Geodesy, geology, environmental care,
Mineral governance beyond compare!
Then came the calling to lead the NMA,
To sweep out the darkness and usher the day.
He stood for the people, he stood for the soil,
Ensuring the riches
