Laymah, I 100% agree with you. Do you have the political will, the gut to fight corruption in Liberia, stop nepotism, invest in the Liberian people, build strong institutions instead of strong men and women, allocate our resources so that it benefit the Liberian People, invest in the rule of law and strengthen the judiciary by prosecuting corrupt Liberian Government officials from Ellen's Administration if the Liberian People give you the opportunity to serve as President of Liberia? President Sirleaf has certainly burned the bridge for women like you who may want to be president, but with the corruption and stealing with impunity that the current woman president has promoted, Liberian Women must convene the Liberian People why they can become a better leader than president Sirleaf.
I knew the Nobel Peace Prize waswrong to give our president the prize. SHe did noting to bring peace to lLIberia and under her rule the level of nepotism and cronyism has reached unprecedented levels. Leymah, we support you. Let those sycophantic women in liberia read position statement and continue to support Ellen just because she isa woman, but we know better. We are all very disappointed and yet the international community continues to force this charlatan on us.
This is a call to All LIBERIAN WOMEN. If you don't speak out now, the rest of the world will not realize that there are many more smart and capable Liberian women in this world--- besides Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf. This is your moment!!!! Please speak out, whether you support Ellen or not; you need to be heard and Liberia really needs you all.
thanks Laymah for all of the issues raise with President Sirleaf and her Government. mind u those who point finger are also point at, this is what is happening to President Sirleaf according to your deliberation. instead of we as liberian people pointing fingers always let find a common ground and find a way forward. " A GOOD PATROIT IS SOMEONE WHO IS PREPARE TO ACCEPT THE PAST OF HIS/HER LEADERS, SUPPORT THEM TO MEET THE PRESENT REALITY AND ENCOURAGES THEM TO FORFEIT THE FUTURE" WE AS LIBERIANS NEED TO LEARN HOW TO WORK WITH OUR LEADERS AND NOT TO LEAVE THEM IN THE MIDDLE OF THE WATER TO GET DROWN. THIS WILL NEVER HELP US AS A NATION. A SUCCESSFUL NATION IS A NATION THAT PROTECT ITS CITIZENS AND CITIZENS IN TO PROTECT THEIR LEADER. MY PARTING WORD WILL BE, SINCE YOU HAVE SEEN AND RAISE ALL THESE ISSUES WHAT IS YOUR WAY FORWORD?
