There are lot of unserious people in Liberia. From fifteen years of civil war, many have not learned anything. Some are still dreaming of their past lost and want to get them over night. Some came back to the government to reimplant their old dirty ways of taking all and leaving others in the cold. It is now clear that many of them who left from the USA to Liberia thought that the old-ma didn't have teeth to bite. They should now know that the oldma has teeth and she can bite if you put your finger in her mouth.The oldma will not sit there to continue seeing people trying to spoil her good name.
While greedy politicians are trying to use the oldma pre-war remark as a weapon to discredit her efforts, many trusted fools some of whom brought in their families in the government continued to steal the little fund that other countries are pumping in to help the poor people in Liberia. It is now time for the oldma to act by bending some of these evil people teeth. If someone even took a penny, he /she should be removed. The president should not only suspent the Information Minister's brother but he should be fired and band from traveling to set the stage for no-nonsense behavior in government.
We are watching to see what will happen next...
You are talking about people coming from America and stealing, how about our so call president who leave her own country and go to another to build hospital why our people are dieing from sickness and building a hotel right in your own face. looking again and you'll see that not only people from America are there to steal but your so call president is doing the same thing. She trying to cover it by looking at other people but when you look again, she doing the same thing. I want you to know that she was the same person who wanted liberia to be burn down to the ground also she wanted to get rich too. Now that she in power, she trying to forget what she was doing to Liberia in the past. Now if you wnat to talked about stealing, she got all her families in offices why others don't have a job to feel their families. There are no good school, no food, no good water to drink, no lights for everyone to see who coming to their home. Some have and some don't because they can't afford it. I want to asked you this question who ever worte this about people coming from America and stealing from Liberia. Do you know the history of liberia, and are you one of those who working with the gov. If you are, please close your mouth because and try to help the country. I have never worked for the gov but liberia had always being a play ground for each and everyone who had worked in that gov. I say this because everyone come in to steal not help liberia to it feet. I hope that one day god come and save this belove country of mine. As for you, think before you write.
It's time we get over with the foolish allegations "flat monrovia and we will rebuild it,burn Liberia and we'll raise it back" and so on.Do you have a proof that the President is building a hotel and a hospital,elsewhere? Let's pray for Liberia to stand again.
Madam Sirleaf informed the world that she wanted to take action against corruption based on proven facts and evidences gathered through audits and other forensic investigations. She has gone on to form an anti-corruption commission that is starting from the basics by first training its staff adequately. However, some critics would like to see her act base on rumors and innuendos. Now that the audit reports are coming out, she has all the evidence required and she is beginning to take action against those in her administration who are covered in these audit reports to have mismanaged public funds. Also, there is the issue of negligence. An official may not be corrupt but if you are the boss and a deputy is so incompetent that he/she goes on mismanaging funds unchecked right under your nose, the boss should be also held liable if the audits show that the boss knew and took no action. ****** I also checked all the websites and Goggled South Africa news; there is no mention of Ellen building a school or hospital in that country. This story is another of the tactics some guys are using to misinform and cause disharmony in the country. When they cant succeed in discrediting one way, they trying creating lies and falsehoods in other ways. Unfortunately, some people buy into it. The president is doing a fine job and Liberia is in the process of gradual change and development. Within 2-3 years, the country will be recognized worldwide for having made substantial progress. Wait and see!
Wait and see?
We shall surely wait and see.
What we know for sure is that the graves in Liberia are not full yet?
For that one, we don't have to wait and see.
Sirleaf and co are exacting the revenge that they always wanted on natives who they felt did not remain in their places submissively.
But I can assure you that the fire this time around will not spare even the ants. Wait and see for that one!!!! In the meantime, Zobong can put that crack-pipe down and sober up. He will need that plus more.....
