You will find that these countries were usually part of the empire of the country whose language is now used as the official language.

In many  countries, the use of an 'outside' official language is often retained as a useful means of communication when there are many native languages. O don't know how many native languages there are in Sierra Leone, but to look at another country as an example, Nigeria has over 250 different native languages. To pick one as 'the' official language is politically and socially difficult. To use a neutral 'outside' language to enable all these different tribes to communicate wherever they are in the country makes a lot of sense.

for matriculation into any american post secondary educational institution, one is required to take the TOFEL examination.  depending on the institution of choice, one may need near perfect scores.

a good plan for obtaining a university degree in the USA as an international student is to attend a community college and then transfer to a 4-yr university.  community colleges on the west coast (esp. california) are very good institutions, world renowned, and have high sucess rates amoung transferees (most community college transfer and graduate from a 4-yr university).  also,  community colleges offer smaller class size, which facilitate a more personal conection with course instructors, and the international student fees are allot less compared to the 4-yr university.

basically, if you want to go to university in the USA, first, get a good TOFEL score, go to a nice community college (Merced Community College is very good with high transfer rates and the city of Merced is well accustomed to hosting international students), and transfer to either a state college (California State University - ideal for Arts, Humanities, & Socail Sciences) or a federal univ (University of Caliornia - better education for majors in the sciences). 

Another option - still go to community college in CA, then transfer of the University of Minesota since this univ doesn't charge international student fees!

I don't think English is a native language in Singapore. In fact, not all Singaporeans can speak proper English. They prefer to use the kind of English which is mixed with Mandarin and Malay - - called 'Singlish' in South East Asia. Of course, some people of higher education or higher rank in the government and companies do speak proper English, whereas (as far as I know) many do not.
