KELVIN DOE, 21 YEAR OLD ENTREPRENEUR WHO WAS DISCOVERED THROUGH THE INTERNET
KELVIN DOE, 21 YEAR OLD ENTREPRENEUR WHO WAS DISCOVERED THROUGH THE INTERNET
21 year old Kelvin Doe from Sierra Leone; but, about two years ago he was the youngest person to be invited to MIT’s “Visiting Practitioner’s Program”. Also known as DJ Focus, Doe taught himself engineering at the age of 13. Using discarded pieces of scrap from the garbage, he built transmitters, generators, and batteries. Doe eventually put together his own radio station from the assembled transmitters, generators and batteries.
He eventually asked two of his friends to work with him and paid them a dollar and change whenever he received payment from working as a DJ at baby naming ceremonies or broadcasts news and announcements.
While at MIT’s “Visiting Practitioner’s Program,” Doe found a mentor in fellow Sierra Leonean, David Sengeh. Sengeh, 30-year-old, is a doctorate student in the Biomechatronics Group at MIT. He is credited with finding a way to load MRI scans of a patient’s limbs onto a multilayer 3D computer to customize the socket design. He got a scholarship in 2004 to study in Norway. Later, he applied and got accepted into Harvard to study at its School of Engineering and Applied Sciences, before joining MIT’s Media Lab.
Before turning to Sierra Leone, Doe spoke at TEDxTeen where he lectured undergraduate engineering students at Harvard College (see video below). In May 2013, he signed a $100,000 solar project pact with Canadian High Speed Service Provider Sierra WiFi.

SONG -WE DON ENTER
LABEL – F1-17
YEAR – 2017
VERSE 1.
JQ the best man- throw a bachelor party
If am not sipping Hennessy-am onto Bacardi
Spot still reverse like a handicap parking
I was born dead – these Haters can’t kill me
Team full of stars like we living in Galaxy
Beside gravitation nothing else can pull me
Stone age flow- can’t figure me
See we multiply 10 times every time den pull out
Different school, different class, different major
They not Balling like we do – they not major
-Get off me face-with you bubble gum rap
With you pre-school….udat co-sign that?
Haters gon’ hate –Till I die but ain’t give a fkkk
Am Young & am fly – And am just really having fun
Take it as you want it – u kin buy the story all u want….
–We on top of the rap game -believe or not..
VERSE 2
Give the rasta-man the lighter-light on the ganja
Tonight we go party until everybody Taya
Drinks nor really matter- take dem as u want am
We Balling all night until police mek skarta.
Tell me people Tata- tell ma Haters Bye-bye.
Catch me if you can-now am gone till November
We live through the actions-all they do is bla bla
All white Toxido- – let-me-pop my collar
Choose for be a hater-believe me u losing
You love me and Hate me – u look so confusing
Plenty rap labels -we Dae one dae chosen
F1-17 –Yes -we Balling
Criticize me – but den just can’t stop me
-Too many songs – but den non nor impress me
-These niggas are nothing but a joke
-Hate me for 10 days- with the same klose
VERSE 3.
My city gave birth to me- with no hesitation
Bless my city back-that’s my- expectation
No turning back-let my Haters still hate
Christ the Lord got crucified-anyway
We the best hands down-they next to we
Am below sea level can’t get to me
This’s food for thought-the wise ones still listening
Dumb nigga with no I.Q -hating me
-Am outta this world-can’t compare me to none
Can’t rebirth these OGs-their time been gone
-Rewrite history – the truth am on
But if a nigga wan beef-we can set it off….
CHORUS.

PRESS RELEASE FROM CONCERNED SIERRA LEONEANS (CSL) ON THE ARREST AND DETENTION OF MR. JESMED SUMA
PRESS RELEASE FROM CONCERNED SIERRA LEONEANS (CSL) ON THE ARREST AND DETENTION OF MR. JESMED SUMA
CSL has been informed today of the arrest and detention of Mr. Jesmed Suma, the Executive Director of CSL. We are informed that Mr. Suma has been refused bail and will be detained at the Pademba road prisons until Tuesday, March 28, 2017. Mr. Suma was originally charged for inciting the Njala students but that has now been switched to a charge of Sedition and disorderly behavior contrary to the Public Order Act of 1965.
According to eyewitness reports and the personal account of Mr. Jesmed Suma, he had been called upon by Mr. Joseph Sannoh, civil rights activist and executive director of Heal Sierra Leone, to speak to the protesting Njala university students who were protesting the closure of the university because the faculty and staff of the university have been on strike since October of 2016 with the government and ministry of education seemingly not engaging with a view to ending the strike.
Mr. Suma was successful in calming the students by telling them to suspend their protest and give the government until Wednesday, March 29, 2017 to respond, the students compromised and agreed to suspend their protest until Monday, March 27, 2017, stating that if the government did not respond by that date then the students will come out in full force and render the country ungovernable. Mr. Suma then went across the street to tell Mr. Sannoh what the students had told him and this was within earshot of a policeman identified as Mr. Alhaji Musa Bangura (alias Bloody Terror) who then accosted Mr. Suma, grabbed Mr. Suma by his coat and necktie and proceeded to slap Mr. Suma three times and started to drag him towards the central police station. Mr. Suma has stated that another policeman then used his knees to hit Mr. Suma in his buttocks three times as they escorted him to the police station. Upon arrival at the police station Mr. Suma was slapped four more times by the policeman identified as Mr. Alhaji Musa Bangura (alias Bloody Terror).
CSL is appalled and outraged at the brutality exercised by the police in the arrest and subsequent detention of Mr. Suma for simply relaying the information he had been given by the students to Mr. Sannoh. This situation has been further exacerbated by the refusal to grant him bail by Magistrate Binneh Kamara on the charge of sedition and disorderly conduct. It is our contention that in the circumstances these charges are totally without foundation.
CSL vociferously protests any charge that our executive director, Mr. Jesmed Suma, was inciting students, behaving in a disorderly manner, or engaged in any act of sedition as he is an individual who believes in democracy and the rule of law and it is on this basis that Concerned Sierra Leoneans was founded to protest and form a bulwark against what we perceive as the excesses of this administration in violating the human rights, freedom of speech and expression, the propagation of corruption in the upper echelons of our society and the erosion of the gains we have made as a nation under our fledgling democracy.
CSL strongly believes that Mr. Suma’s arrest and continued detention on these charges is a direct result of the protests, criticisms and condemnation of the excesses and bad governance of this administration that Mr. Suma has engaged in lawfully and legally as a member of CSL and as an individual.
CSL demand his immediate release and we plan on pursuing this matter of his arrest and, we submit, unwarranted detention as violations of his human rights and police brutality through the courts and international organizations should this become necessary.
