Mr. Anthony Navo Jr. has corrected certain errors in the Issue 7 publication of the Calabash
Magazine. While thanking editorial staff of the Calabash Magazine for a very good attempt in
marketing enterprising Sierra Leoneans who have managed to excel in their individual capacities,
including his humble self, Mr. Navo said he believes that certain historical facts were mixed up,
inadvertently though.
Navo said he attended the Albert Academy secondary school only at sixth
form level; though he never did any of his academic studies at the Fourah Bay College in
Freetown as alleged by the publication. “Instead, I went to the Prince of Wales secondary
school and did my higher studies In the UK”, Mr. Navo said.
Â
Mr. Navo, the soft spoken and unassumingly amiable Sierra Leonean business man said , perhaps
being in haste to go to press insinuated reasons why Navo did not take after his father, a former
erudite member of the Sierra Leone judiciary.
“It does not follow that I needed to be a lawyer just because my dad was one. I am
competently happy as a trained business executive”, he said emphatically.
Asked why he thought it fit to put the records straight, Mr. Navo said, “I know our society very
well. People do not forgive others even when you are being misquoted at your own peril, let
alone saying the wrong thing(s).At least for posterity sake, let the records be laid straight.”
Otherwise, Mr. Navo said he sees the Calabash Magazine as a serious business venture; a
method of trying to add value to Sierra Leone’s media landscape while its proprietors continue to
make media business an adventure worth investing in.
