My observation when visiting Liberia is it's a beautiful country with many opportunities. There are many issues that need to be addressed. Health care, quality education, sanitation, good governance & many many more. My Liberian husband & I just recently completed our home there...Liberia is our home. Change starts in the mind of each & every one of us and then we implement it. Liberians in the country, Liberians in the diaspora & Black Americans who want to repatriate...ALL hands on deck are needed to make mama Liberia who she deserves to be!! We CAN do it!! One Love❤️🖤💚
@@pashdaDon Truuuu...that's why I mentioned good governance is one of the many ills in society that needs a MAJOR overhaul. I will continue to do my part and pray that Mama Liberia will see good governance in my lifetime. 🙏🏿 One Love ❤️ 🖤💚
Very inspiring and I hope you live a healthy happy life in Liberia. If u don’t mind answering, how is the relationship between native Liberians and Americans seeking life back home? I’m not African but I’m a human and I’ve been trying to learn more about this part of cradle of humanity 😊
We can all help Liberia by doing simple things like keeping the environment clean. Like you stated, not throwing trash any and everywhere. We don't need the government to do that for us. The government responsibility is to take the trash away after it is put in its proper place.
Liberia been living in poverty for so long that they like living in it, If you go to Liberia and clean a street, before you finish cleaning the street, there will be waist and trash , some Liberia people will find a clean place tom dump their trash, because they are new to clean street and clean streets ,cleanness mess with their mind, and they will look for the first trash they can find to make them feel good
I spent two years in Liberia on a work contract. Most of that time in the bush NW of Bopolu. Amazing country, wonderful people, extraordinary potential.
You liked it because you were in the bush. The so called "developments" that Go Black is talking about are largely responsible for depletion of the forests and by extension, increases in global warming.
Yeah he was tough on both Liberia and Sierra Leone but he kept it real The usa ambassador said something similar recently about Liberia. He was disgusted by the conditions in Liberia and specifically called out monies allocated for places outside of Monrovia that never makes it there
He can go to hell. Liberia's mess is America's creation. $200 billion into Ukraine and still Ukraine's is losing. Liberia can't even get $100 million help from the U.S. The rubber plantations are exploited by Firestone who pays nearly nothing. Sometimes, we need to understand that you need a fish to catch a fish. The U.S stood aside while Liberia's butchered themselves, but they have the nerve to accuse the victim?
As an American I agree with both sides. We both need to clean up our own communities before we speak on others. Yet, I also believe the diaspora should link up and create forward thinking opportunities and tourism will benefit both sides. I can't speak for all Americans but I believe a lot of us want to go to various African nations to spend not only money but knowledge of building relationships and communities. Great work to both of you for bringing tough conversations to the table Shalom 💪🏾
It's not even about cleaning up certain communities in America. You have to know when there is to much water under the bridge so to speak and when certain things are a waste of time. Some time only separation is the only way to proceed forward. So it is time for the consciously enlightened, forward thinking Pan African community to now put it's energy into their own nation building efforts on some land of their own, so they can understand the true beauty of freedom, justice and equality and love,peace and happiness. And nation build for their own children and future.
A people with trauma, will remain stuck. I learned this the hard way. The defensiveness, the quick to anger and argument, that's trauma. But once the people heal, development will be speedy
Liberia needs a serious and strong leader who will put laws into place and stick to it. Keeping the place clean for example. Anyone found throwing trash in the street should be jailed, that's the only way to bring change because people who stuck in their ways need a hard hand to change them and that can only happen from STRONG leadership. People coming from the diaspora can't change it. Liberia needs LEADERSHIP!!!
@LIBERIA - To The World the problem is it has not always been. The people are nasty and lazy. Take rwanda for example, they have been through much worse than liberia, look at them now one of the cleanest country in the world. They are also developing fast. No excuses for liberia.
only a loved one would tell you your breath stinks or you dropped your wallet etc. great message. my mom literally told me I need to use mouth wash once when I was a smoker. it's one of the things I've appreciated the most because I was around people daily at the time and no one else said a word.
And you're correct my brother. My country, Saint Lucia raised from a 3rd world to 2nd world country in less than 10 years due to tourism......... even while under the horrible British empire. Wishing greatness for Liberia.
You are on point. We must remember the government is a reflection of its people. If you want to change government change the minds of its people. It starts with one individual like yourself and your channel. Keep promoting Liberia and land opportunities. Investors like myself will invest when we see the opportunity reward outweighs the risk and there are individuals trustworthy and capable of following instructions of plan.
Liberia people love poverty, and even their government, they were raise to love poverty for hundreds of years they live in poverty and they begun to love it, If you go to Liberia and clean one street, the next day the street will be like it never been clean, clean street mess with Liberia people mind,,,,They like to see filth and poverty this what ease their mind
So true brother man, as a Liberian living in America this is exactly what I’ve been telling my brothers and sisters back home. In order for Liberia to be successfully develop, the mindset of its citizen need to be change for good. Everybody need to show their true patriotism for the love of liberty. Even though, we need the government to maintain peace, and execute law with transparency. We all must contribute to the development process,especially for those of us overseas. Happy 26 to mama Liberia. 🇱🇷 🇱🇷 ❤🇱🇷 🇱🇷
@@audreydavis6533 The right way citizens can change their mindset for better in Liberia, is by educating them. Especially, though that are in the country. Explaining to them the importance of taking care of the environment. It’s can eliminate diseases like malaria etc and other people can be encourage to visit your country. The person should also be able to do the work themselves in order for the people to follow when they see you are committed.
As soon as Liberia can get out of ethnic division, and set up initiatives that are well within the interests of the people, foreign investments will flock to help. Word of mouth here in the U.S., Liberia has sprung up a hot topic again in the African-American community, with many people thinking of moving there to contribute. This hasn't been seen since the 1920s. However, what's discouraging is the high barrier start and fear of a lack of open arms.
From what I can see it just seems like bad governance, greed, and lack of vision from the top at this point The Liberians I know are more than welcoming, I'm not sure the Americo/Indigenous thing is even a factor in 2023 honestly. People just need to go and build in the private sector together with the young Liberians that have vision. There's actually a lot of people out there with some good ideas and projects but probably need some more help on the implementation end. That's where AA's could step in.
This isn’t about ethics division. It’s bad governance. The government officials are seriously building up their personal infrastructures while abandoning the public sector.
i have been saying this same thing. African leaders. need to build waste management systems, in every african state. in addition, water treatment facilities.
Hello Liberia to the world I am so glad I stumble across this video of yours, as a Liberian I feel so embarrassed and sad that the Liberians on the ground are so set in their ways, they do not see the bigger picture and that Liberia can be beautiful again, it just needs collective effort to be developed in a sustainable developments, we who lives in the diaspora have the idea of how to develop the country, but the Liberian living on the ground are not making things easy for us diasporian, I think their mindset need to change for Liberia to move forward, in the right way, for all of us to enjoy and live in a vibrant economy and a substainable environment where we all can thrives period
@@haleenyumah4345 Of course Liberia was beautiful before, may be you where not born at that time, look at the old infrastructures, places like dukor hotel and the O A U village that was build it was so beautiful and the country had electricity and floshing toilets and running water in the houses as well during the Tolbert era, but everything was distroy by short sighted people who do not know nothing about good things.
I am extremely glad that the guy in the middle of the video talking with the glasses on clearly said that you can be talking to people in Liberia about doing new things and yet the people in Liberia would say don’t bring that here. This is Liberia. That’s exactly what happened when the blacks from the US went back to Liberia and it became a Civil War. It’s the same exact thing that’s going on then and the same exact thing that’s going on now. They don’t want to change for the better some people like the wobble around in their own feces. It should not be this way. But I’m glad the man did say what I’ve been saying for many years. I’m so glad he said that and because of that lets me know that there are other people trying to fix this issue with Liberia. Oh, I am really happy to see that. I’m really happy for this brother. So keep pushing.
I always wonder why Liberia was not the shining star in Africa. Up until I did research on the history of Liberia. When Black people went back to Africa/Liberia, they started to develop the country, but it was natives, who felt as though they were getting the short end of the stick. That’s jealousy and it led to a war. Keep in mind there were not that many Black people in Liberia from America compared to the people in the country. It’s the same thing that’s going on in Haiti. And we really have to face it in order to fix it. I truly believe that Liberia would be further down the road if they never had the war between Black people.
I went to Liberia twice last year. There are some infrastructure issues. But it has a lot of potential for a investor. It just going to take a lot more money and time to get things done.
My response to all the suggestions and opinions is that the Liberian people living in Liberia are stock and can not move on their own. There is a saying that “we are product of our environment”. Liberian people need awareness to get themselves out of the condition they are currently in. Everything that surrounds them (good or bad) are been normalized to the extend that they do not see the deplorable situations and conditions that surround them as problems (sewage issues, clean water and sanitation issues, inadequate application of rule of law, feelings of abandonment by those who supposed to guide them, a lack of quality education, increase corruption). Poverty has a lot to do with their current mindset that they live with. Whatever you see them involved in are what they grew up with and those are what they know and are accustomed to. Let’s give our recommendations in constructive ways to encourage the Liberian people to see that there is a way out of the plight they are in. Criticism would not make them to change their ways. The reasons I am suggesting constructive recommendations is that whatever situation they are in today can mostly be cured with changing their mindset and turn their thinking around that might lead to positive outcomes. Liberian people’s plight is not a condition, it’s a mindset that requires transformation. Liberian people are resilient, nice people, want they same way things that people in other countries want. They merely need guidance and transformational leadership.
He is absolutely right. The country is in a terrible state. The civil war isn’t our excuse. We were backward even before the civil war. Our biggest problem has been bad leadership. Our leaders have been terrible. We can build all the mansions in Liberia as long we have a deficit of leadership, and the country will continue to remain dirt poor. Liberia is not poor but we choose to be poor because of the caliber of leaders we elect in public offices.
My Mom hasn't been back to Liberia, since the war started in late 80s. She hates to see how the country has become. She grew up with electricity in the 50s in ZorZor! There were villages that were developing back then with power line, not just generators, but the wars destroyed everything and ECOMOG stole the rest. That being said Liberian isn't the only country that went through wars, but those other countries have not used that as an excuse to start developing. Many people there are just waiting on their expat relatives to send them money. It's the mindset that has left the country in the dust, from the people up to the Presidents. The people are incredibly smart but there are too many who tend to only live for the day, instead of planning for the future and that don't work as a community.
I have been following this brother for awhile now,point blank!!!,the mindset,mindset and mindset again.Uganda was in one of the worst wars on the continent but,Uganda is now one of thee cleanest countries in the world.Please Liberians,whether abroad or back home,the mindset is the biggest issue right here.Please my people,the government cannot do this alone.I thank you and Jah Bless you all
There are so many examples of how things can be done differently. Why we Liberian's accepting the way things are? Be the change you can be, everyone single moment. Change is in your hands. Work on the change, stop wasting time.
I’ve been asking the same question for years. Every year we celebrate Independence Day. What exactly are we celebrating? As the oldest independent nation in Africa? 😮😢
Sir, you have done the utmost righteous thing in bringing your case to the table in front of Ghanaians, Yes, I remember in my youth , when Ghana or the Gold Coast faced exactly the same dilemma. The love for our country was lost to colonial countries; we all spent our money and times outside while foreign companies reaped the resources.But hey, the genius of Gold coast, one day ,woke up to sing a famously known song ,'Yen Ara Ya Assase Ni ', a pre- independence song, most probably written, as I got to know, by a known Oxford University graduate, became motivation factor for the whole of the country. As it blasted over our heads early in the mornings, at the age of 5 years, in my first year in primary, heard it at lunch hour, evening,and several other times during the rest of the weeks, months to come over radio Ghana.We had water, toilet and housing problems. Water was carried over our heads. As far the sewage, I am sure it can be left to your imagination. This song formed a motivating song towards independence of our now ' beloved land' Yen Ara Ye Assase Ni ' . Please find this song from any Ghana radio station, translate into English, Try your best to make one synonously. We developed this love for the country through that Hypnosis of the song. Changes began from the quest independence,to eviction of the Governor from Ghana leading to political changes.No consultancy fees required, learn to make Liberians pray each morning to love This Wonderful Land. Write a new national Anthem with love for Liberia, Liberians. Because Liberia at this moment Belongs to The USA, and this is why I could see in the video, you can not even talk. You can call myself one of your people. Change the national flag to a more African narrative.
These Liberian people will kill you coming into their country cleaning up the street, making new roads purifying the water, and getting rid of waste , These people love living like this, and so do their government, You go to Liberia cleaning up it up. you will be kill by the people or lock up in jail
I couldn’t have said it better. If those in the Liberia do not change their mindset, they will surely get left behind by those coming from the diaspora.
Tourism is THE KEY.. Liberia needs to start the new_ original YEAR OF RETURN.. I STUDIED TRAVEL AND TOURISM/ WORKED IN TRAVEL INDUSTRY FOR 25YRS IN THE UNITED STATES..( RESTAURANT AND HOSPITALITY MGMT. BANKG & FINANCE. AND REAL ESTATE. ..I AM READY OOOOO Kla be ne " ..
I was in Liberia🇱🇷 and they were amazing people … but I realized only two problem about Liberians and if they can realize it, Liberia will be the greatest country in the world 1) They hate to be corrected. 2)Too much pride.!!!
Some of the innovative ideas that would help Liberia and keep Monrovia clean, are to decentralize various organizations, franchises, businesses and other entities of the country so job opportunities can be created in other counties or parts of the country. If this idea is expanded, people would go back to their home counties because they would sure of a livelihood there. Monrovia is the hustling ground for all, therefore, it is crowded and dirty.
People do not understand some African Nation you cannot help , These people like living in poverty and been living in poverty for so long time ,If you go and clean the place up, These people will tear it down and go back into poverty because they are comfort in Poverty, and their cities smell like raw sewerages' which will make them happy
Rubbish, by enslaving the majority, one party state? Liberia has been a shining star. There isn’t a single American state or country run by African Americans that is running successfully.
Oh yes brother, I know the history very well. And if we built Liberia up and created what it turned out to be at that time, just imagine what we can do now! With millions of Pan African thinking African American people who are now desiring to return 🏡 home, like Elijah Muhammad used to say " We must introduce them to a land some where on the face of this earth that they can call their own", and now with assistance of certain American organizations, China, Russia, North Korea, Cuba and the entire BRICS organization and other Central and South American countries who will " throw us a dog bone", can you IMAGINE what we could create? This is why the unity and creation of a Pan African community in the Americas for the African American nation is so important, so that these concepts of OUR own land can be introduced. But, all hope is not lost for the wheels are slowly turning, as a matter of fact it's already being created on the mental and spiritual plane, we just got to make it happen on the material plane. Peace and love family.
Easier Said Than Done, The People Are More Political Minded and Focused on gaining Power - for Self and immediate group (relationships) than Moving their Country and People forward. You Guys Need TRUE Visionary Leaders - who are Thinking Outside of the little "Liberian Politics" and Power Structure. New Generation Should Take Power, People under ... Young Visionary Leaders
We were once first and all others came last. We were the head and not the tail. However we as Blacks/Jews/ Israelites fell far away from our God making us last rather than first by HIS word only. Man does not have the power or organization to suppress a people for so long unless the One and only true God allowed it to be so. My prayer is that we all stop looking for man to help us and turn back to our GOD He is the only help we need AMEN.
Public works projects are capital intensive. Once built, the government and economy must be able to maintain the works. Liberia still has a long way to go.
@ Liberia Tourism is bigger than all the mineral resources in the ground in Liberia combined because it is unlike the non renewable minerals resources that ran out eventually with time . Tourism will provide more stable and better paying jobs , create more secondary companies that will provide vital services to the sector. Newest subscriber to your channel ❤
Liberia is a Country in Africa which should be first on the minds of African Americans to visit in Africa. But they are afraid. That's a loss of almost a billion US$ dollars from tourism, or more. People will want to return with their life savings, retirement or wealth they earned overseas, but they are afraid. That's a potential inflow of perpetual revenue of nearly a billion US dollars. Good and serious education is very much due in Liberia. It will very much help to bring the people together.
My brother u are right our people are stock in a box they can't find their way out of even those that in government they are not helping matters at all.
That's everywhere , the majority of our people are brainwashed and into material things instead of coming together to make this world better for us and for our future if your a person that want to do better and want what's best for you then work on yourself and connect with other people that want the same and we can come together and do this together we don't have to worry about who's not doing right leave those type of people behind , whoever want better like my comment and let's connect I'm located in Colorado leave me with an email❤ much love
As a Liberian, I totally agree with you. We do not have business minded people running our government. Most Liberians complaining now are only doing so because they are not part of the corruption. When in position, they do worse and lack creativity. Many countries went through civil war, but they are not as messed up as we are. We don’t believe in self development. People who are focused on self development are introspective. Most of us are not able to site and reflect on where we’re, and the future we want to design.
I say this with much respect, there are people who would like to come in a really, genuinely help but because their skin color is offensive to locals.....they get run out of the country. Or they get judged and called colonialists, including the brother from Black2Africa. If we are exclusionary of the type of hand we want to help in development, we can miss out on the beauty to come from ashes.
Hello! I been watching your channel for a few years now and I’m very inspire! Would love to connect. I’m a Liberian-Senegalese American that owns a youth film school in Clara town liberia- would love to do a interview. Hoping to connect with you soon and keep up the great work for liberia 🙏🏿🇱🇷 - Aissata
Hello , thanks for supporting this channel and for reaching out , I wholeheartedly appreciate you Please send me an email RedVisionco@gmail.com or hit me up on instagram so we can exchange phone number and connect Instagram: Liberia2theworld
I just think we all have to accept personal responsibilities individually and collectively. Then if the government not doing anything we have something concrete to say. We have to be in the forefront of development and also our mindset.
I guess a change in mindset is required. I don't believe for a seconds that Liberians are not capable of that. Be the change you can be, every little step at a time. Amen Mother Liberia 🥰
Good analysis, good comments, and great mindset. I paid attention to this and read every comment because my heart is sold out on returning to Liberia, my country of birth. The government has a big role to play. The leadership is responsible for steering the minds of the people and setting the path for integration and development. If the government steers it, the media will follow suit. To change the mindset of the country for those inside and outside of the country, the government must consider it a priority to foster programs of awareness and make actual minimum initiatives AND STAY WITH THE PROGRAM. Enforced war on indiscipline against waste dumping could be a starting point. Set time aside to clean the beaches, then encourage the media to show the beaches as an example. We will get there. All these Easter African countries taking this lead started from the leadership. My 2 cents.
Leadership is responsible? There is no leadership. Please don't expect government to come and help; they help themselves. Be the change you can be and surround yourself with role models that can take you further. Then be that role model for someone else. 💓

Liberian people especially the young people now have been grossly denied and deprived of any opportunity for adequate life standard compare to the entire world. The major lacking is education which is a major loss due to the war. Second, development providing jobs for the people are inadequate. You talked about tourism. First the people have to be one for trust and security, but Liberia is divided. There is too much hardship. Liberia has been thrown way back. Liberia was an advanced developing African Country 40 or more years ago. Monrovia infrastructure even from the 60s is decaying, decaying. People are not returning because they are afraid. Tourism requires safety, security and good impressions. More young and educated Liberian will change Liberia. Corruption, going way back and now, needs to end.
I’m gonna say you are right,am mixed liberia and Nigeria and I will say to even go to liberia and spend a month or two I say no way meanwhile I’m looking huge in term of investment,I don’t know if I meet up with you in person sir
The fastest way to get something done is to let the ones that want to leave, leave. The ones that want to stay should stay and you help them. If you don't stay, we freeze all your assets. Its really not hard.
I half disagree about people from outside. You have to start with the young kids, they will accept new ideas. Dont worry about the adults. The youth always love new ideas. Adults not so much
Hope. I could get to know you live in American for 20 years. And on my way home it sad. My name is oretha. Tisdell. Hope I get to know. You love my country
I am Nigerian and believe me once you leave Lagos and Abuja, Nigeria with all its oil wealth is not much better! Liberia is a beautiful country , people would definitely love to come there as tourists . Just imagine if all the cruise ships that were registered in Liberia actually docked and the people came down and spent their money , billions ! But the tourists that have money , Whites, African Americans must have certain BASIC amenities ! Look at Britain ,the only thing the British have going for them is tourism and they are making hundreds of billions !!The British have maintained every building that was built from hundreds of years ago and of course the Royal Family , and people from all over the world are flocking there and spending real money!!
Britain also export advance manufactured goods and services. Tourism is part of the services sector which is the dingle biggest sector in every developed economy.
Whenever I feel like going to Liberia to visit, the 1st question I always ask myself is what if another civil war breaks out while am there then what next? I have a feeling with the way things are unfolding in Liberia economically there is another civil war waiting to happen but I hope am wrong
its a feeling thats always lingering due to the trauma we all went through.. i do believe that will never happen tho, there was so much more behind those wars... and now most liberian dont want togo back to that no matter what
I am the son of the American who in the 1960s helped design and build a water and wastewater treatment plant the remains of which still exists on Barkley Ave., in Sinkor. We lived on Payne Ave., near JFK Hospital. It was a life experience for boy-aged me that still has a positive effect on the man I am to this day.
I too studied Environmental Science and Engineering(M.S., Virginia Polytechnic Institute). I have worked in the environmental field for more than thirty years, specializing in solid and hazardous waste management. I have extensive experience in environmental sustainability, and professional experience outside the United States (Asia and Europe).
I am fast approaching retirement, and with no meaningful attachments, if your video does garner the attention of Liberian officials, I ask that you communicate to President Weah and the National Policy Council my willingness to assist the Liberian people establish safe and effective agricultural refuse and solid and hazardous waste management programs.

Sir… I am interested in a conversation with you
My observation when visiting Liberia is it's a beautiful country with many opportunities. There are many issues that need to be addressed. Health care, quality education, sanitation, good governance & many many more.
My Liberian husband & I just recently completed our home there...Liberia is our home. Change starts in the mind of each & every one of us and then we implement it. Liberians in the country, Liberians in the diaspora & Black Americans who want to repatriate...ALL hands on deck are needed to make mama Liberia who she deserves to be!! We CAN do it!!
One Love❤️🖤💚
As a Liberian I agree with you 100% BUT if we do all we can and the government is still corrupt then nothing will move forward. It’s just sad.
@@pashdaDon Truuuu...that's why I mentioned good governance is one of the many ills in society that needs a MAJOR overhaul.
I will continue to do my part and pray that Mama Liberia will see good governance in my lifetime. 🙏🏿 One Love ❤️ 🖤💚
Very inspiring and I hope you live a healthy happy life in Liberia. If u don’t mind answering, how is the relationship between native Liberians and Americans seeking life back home? I’m not African but I’m a human and I’ve been trying to learn more about this part of cradle of humanity 😊
We can all help Liberia by doing simple things like keeping the environment clean. Like you stated, not throwing trash any and everywhere. We don't need the government to do that for us. The government responsibility is to take the trash away after it is put in its proper place.
Do they have a sanitation system to collect the trash bins when there filled?
@ijustwannaflydjidrones71 , yes. It was done during the previous administration. It can be done now but they are busy stealing.
Liberia been living in poverty for so long that they like living in it, If you go to Liberia and clean a street, before you finish cleaning the street, there will be waist and trash , some Liberia people will find a clean place tom dump their trash, because they are new to clean street and clean streets ,cleanness mess with their mind, and they will look for the first trash they can find to make them feel good
Well said take pride in yourself.
Who are the role models that kids can look up to?
I spent two years in Liberia on a work contract. Most of that time in the bush NW of Bopolu. Amazing country, wonderful people, extraordinary potential.
You liked it because you were in the bush. The so called "developments" that Go Black is talking about are largely responsible for depletion of the forests and by extension, increases in global warming.
Yeah he was tough on both Liberia and Sierra Leone but he kept it real
The usa ambassador said something similar recently about Liberia. He was disgusted by the conditions in Liberia and specifically called out monies allocated for places outside of Monrovia that never makes it there
He can go to hell. Liberia's mess is America's creation. $200 billion into Ukraine and still Ukraine's is losing. Liberia can't even get $100 million help from the U.S. The rubber plantations are exploited by Firestone who pays nearly nothing. Sometimes, we need to understand that you need a fish to catch a fish. The U.S stood aside while Liberia's butchered themselves, but they have the nerve to accuse the victim?
As an American I agree with both sides. We both need to clean up our own communities before we speak on others. Yet, I also believe the diaspora should link up and create forward thinking opportunities and tourism will benefit both sides. I can't speak for all Americans but I believe a lot of us want to go to various African nations to spend not only money but knowledge of building relationships and communities. Great work to both of you for bringing tough conversations to the table Shalom 💪🏾
It's not even about cleaning up certain communities in America. You have to know when there is to much water under the bridge so to speak and when certain things are a waste of time. Some time only separation is the only way to proceed forward. So it is time for the consciously enlightened, forward thinking Pan African community to now put it's energy into their own nation building efforts on some land of their own, so they can understand the true beauty of freedom, justice and equality and love,peace and happiness. And nation build for their own children and future.
A people with trauma, will remain stuck. I learned this the hard way. The defensiveness, the quick to anger and argument, that's trauma. But once the people heal, development will be speedy
As an African American, I can say this very true..
Liberia needs a serious and strong leader who will put laws into place and stick to it. Keeping the place clean for example. Anyone found throwing trash in the street should be jailed, that's the only way to bring change because people who stuck in their ways need a hard hand to change them and that can only happen from STRONG leadership. People coming from the diaspora can't change it. Liberia needs LEADERSHIP!!!
You sanitation leader,Industry and many other parts .President cant do all.
Zoning laws needs to be enforced as well
Stop waiting for leaders or some other event. Every second of the day you have the choice to lead by example. Start small, and grow like a plant.
At some point we must stop accepting things as they are just because they have always been.
100%
That’s what frustrates me
The most
@LIBERIA - To The World the problem is it has not always been. The people are nasty and lazy. Take rwanda for example, they have been through much worse than liberia, look at them now one of the cleanest country in the world. They are also developing fast. No excuses for liberia.
I couldn't agree with you any less. It can't be busy as usual, but business unusual.
only a loved one would tell you your breath stinks or you dropped your wallet etc. great message. my mom literally told me I need to use mouth wash once when I was a smoker. it's one of the things I've appreciated the most because I was around people daily at the time and no one else said a word.
And you're correct my brother. My country, Saint Lucia raised from a 3rd world to 2nd world country in less than 10 years due to tourism......... even while under the horrible British empire. Wishing greatness for Liberia.
You are on point. We must remember the government is a reflection of its people. If you want to change government change the minds of its people. It starts with one individual like yourself and your channel. Keep promoting Liberia and land opportunities. Investors like myself will invest when we see the opportunity reward outweighs the risk and there are individuals trustworthy and capable of following instructions of plan.
Liberia people love poverty, and even their government, they were raise to love poverty for hundreds of years they live in poverty and they begun to love it, If you go to Liberia and clean one street, the next day the street will be like it never been clean, clean street mess with Liberia people mind,,,,They like to see filth and poverty this what ease their mind
So true brother man, as a Liberian living in America this is exactly what I’ve been telling my brothers and sisters back home. In order for Liberia to be successfully develop, the mindset of its citizen need to be change for good. Everybody need to show their true patriotism for the love of liberty. Even though, we need the government to maintain peace, and execute law with transparency. We all must contribute to the development process,especially for those of us overseas. Happy 26 to mama Liberia. 🇱🇷 🇱🇷 ❤🇱🇷 🇱🇷
What would you say are the right ways for citizen's to change their mindset for the better?
@@audreydavis6533 The right way citizens can change their mindset for better in Liberia, is by educating them. Especially, though that are in the country. Explaining to them the importance of taking care of the environment. It’s can eliminate diseases like malaria etc and other people can be encourage to visit your country. The person should also be able to do the work themselves in order for the people to follow when they see you are committed.
Very well said @@jamesothello595. Lead by example, everyone can be that change, every single second of a day.
As soon as Liberia can get out of ethnic division, and set up initiatives that are well within the interests of the people, foreign investments will flock to help.
Word of mouth here in the U.S., Liberia has sprung up a hot topic again in the African-American community, with many people thinking of moving there to contribute. This hasn't been seen since the 1920s. However, what's discouraging is the high barrier start and fear of a lack of open arms.
From what I can see it just seems like bad governance, greed, and lack of vision from the top at this point The Liberians I know are more than welcoming, I'm not sure the Americo/Indigenous thing is even a factor in 2023 honestly. People just need to go and build in the private sector together with the young Liberians that have vision. There's actually a lot of people out there with some good ideas and projects but probably need some more help on the implementation end. That's where AA's could step in.
This isn’t about ethics division. It’s bad governance. The government officials are seriously building up their personal infrastructures while abandoning the public sector.
Why is this ethnic division still going on?
In Rwanda that's not allowed
As a black American I want to invest in Liberia
@@marcuscole1994As a Black American, you don't have a dime. Keep it a buck.
My mum who is Sierra Leonean told me that before the war Liberia was such a beautiful country.
i have been saying this same thing. African leaders. need to build waste management systems, in every african state. in addition, water treatment facilities.
Of course. Who has the plan?
You are right sir. Liberians needs to have a positive mind set. Develop oneself and not depend on the Government.
I'm liking this message its progress in the way people are thinking.
Hello Liberia to the world I am so glad I stumble across this video of yours, as a Liberian I feel so embarrassed and sad that the Liberians on the ground are so set in their ways, they do not see the bigger picture and that Liberia can be beautiful again, it just needs collective effort to be developed in a sustainable developments, we who lives in the diaspora have the idea of how to develop the country, but the Liberian living on the ground are not making things easy for us diasporian, I think their mindset need to change for Liberia to move forward, in the right way, for all of us to enjoy and live in a vibrant economy and a substainable environment where we all can thrives period
Remember what they did to Samuel Doe
Was Liberia beautiful before?
@@haleenyumah4345 Of course Liberia was beautiful before, may be you where not born at that time, look at the old infrastructures, places like dukor hotel and the O A U village that was build it was so beautiful and the country had electricity and floshing toilets and running water in the houses as well during the Tolbert era, but everything was distroy by short sighted people who do not know nothing about good things.
I am extremely glad that the guy in the middle of the video talking with the glasses on clearly said that you can be talking to people in Liberia about doing new things and yet the people in Liberia would say don’t bring that here. This is Liberia. That’s exactly what happened when the blacks from the US went back to Liberia and it became a Civil War. It’s the same exact thing that’s going on then and the same exact thing that’s going on now. They don’t want to change for the better some people like the wobble around in their own feces. It should not be this way. But I’m glad the man did say what I’ve been saying for many years. I’m so glad he said that and because of that lets me know that there are other people trying to fix this issue with Liberia. Oh, I am really happy to see that. I’m really happy for this brother. So keep pushing.
You are 💯 about that the people that outside looking in is the ones can fix Liberia because they can see the problem and what the country needs
I am here in America, trying to get my nursing degree. God knows I will help my country when I am done with my school.
That's the right mindset. Bless you 🙏
you should stay in the u.s. to get more experience and save money. then return.
I always wonder why Liberia was not the shining star in Africa. Up until I did research on the history of Liberia. When Black people went back to Africa/Liberia, they started to develop the country, but it was natives, who felt as though they were getting the short end of the stick. That’s jealousy and it led to a war. Keep in mind there were not that many Black people in Liberia from America compared to the people in the country. It’s the same thing that’s going on in Haiti. And we really have to face it in order to fix it. I truly believe that Liberia would be further down the road if they never had the war between Black people.
I went to Liberia twice last year. There are some infrastructure issues. But it has a lot of potential for a investor. It just going to take a lot more money and time to get things done.
It's a journey. Start small and grow like a plant.
My response to all the suggestions and opinions is that the Liberian people living in Liberia are stock and can not move on their own. There is a saying that “we are product of our environment”. Liberian people need awareness to get themselves out of the condition they are currently in. Everything that surrounds them (good or bad) are been normalized to the extend that they do not see the deplorable situations and conditions that surround them as problems (sewage issues, clean water and sanitation issues, inadequate application of rule of law, feelings of abandonment by those who supposed to guide them, a lack of quality education, increase corruption). Poverty has a lot to do with their current mindset that they live with. Whatever you see them involved in are what they grew up with and those are what they know and are accustomed to. Let’s give our recommendations in constructive ways to encourage the Liberian people to see that there is a way out of the plight they are in. Criticism would not make them to change their ways. The reasons I am suggesting constructive recommendations is that whatever situation they are in today can mostly be cured with changing their mindset and turn their thinking around that might lead to positive outcomes. Liberian people’s plight is not a condition, it’s a mindset that requires transformation. Liberian people are resilient, nice people, want they same way things that people in other countries want. They merely need guidance and transformational leadership.
Great analysis and you’re absolutely right
Two choices here: accept or change. I am the change, and so can you ooo 🙏
He is absolutely right. The country is in a terrible state. The civil war isn’t our excuse. We were backward even before the civil war. Our biggest problem has been bad leadership. Our leaders have been terrible. We can build all the mansions in Liberia as long we have a deficit of leadership, and the country will continue to remain dirt poor. Liberia is not poor but we choose to be poor because of the caliber of leaders we elect in public offices.
Terrible!
Be the change you can be.
Thanks bro for u telling the truth to the Liberian people
Thank you. Good insight. Let’s all proactively unite….. now‼️ From NYC, love to all. Bless.
My Mom hasn't been back to Liberia, since the war started in late 80s. She hates to see how the country has become. She grew up with electricity in the 50s in ZorZor! There were villages that were developing back then with power line, not just generators, but the wars destroyed everything and ECOMOG stole the rest. That being said Liberian isn't the only country that went through wars, but those other countries have not used that as an excuse to start developing. Many people there are just waiting on their expat relatives to send them money. It's the mindset that has left the country in the dust, from the people up to the Presidents. The people are incredibly smart but there are too many who tend to only live for the day, instead of planning for the future and that don't work as a community.
Agreed
100%
I have been following this brother for awhile now,point blank!!!,the mindset,mindset and mindset again.Uganda was in one of the worst wars on the continent but,Uganda is now one of thee cleanest countries in the world.Please Liberians,whether abroad or back home,the mindset is the biggest issue right here.Please my people,the government cannot do this alone.I thank you and Jah Bless you all
There are so many examples of how things can be done differently. Why we Liberian's accepting the way things are? Be the change you can be, everyone single moment. Change is in your hands. Work on the change, stop wasting time.
Start in the schools, teaching them pride unity of oneness as a people. All around the world, we are still a broken people.
Actually it starts at home.
I’ve been asking the same question for years. Every year we celebrate Independence Day. What exactly are we celebrating? As the oldest independent nation in Africa? 😮😢
Sir, you have done the utmost righteous thing in bringing your case to the table in front of Ghanaians, Yes, I remember in my youth , when Ghana or the Gold Coast faced exactly the same dilemma. The love for our country was lost to colonial countries; we all spent our money and times outside while foreign companies reaped the resources.But hey, the genius of Gold coast, one day ,woke up to sing a famously known song ,'Yen Ara Ya Assase Ni ', a pre- independence song, most probably written, as I got to know, by a known Oxford University graduate, became motivation factor for the whole of the country. As it blasted over our heads early in the mornings, at the age of 5 years, in my first year in primary, heard it at lunch hour, evening,and several other times during the rest of the weeks, months to come over radio Ghana.We had water, toilet and housing problems. Water was carried over our heads. As far the sewage, I am sure it can be left to your imagination. This song formed a motivating song towards independence of our now ' beloved land' Yen Ara Ye Assase Ni ' . Please find this song from any Ghana radio station, translate into English, Try your best to make one synonously. We developed this love for the country through that Hypnosis of the song. Changes began from the quest independence,to eviction of the Governor from Ghana leading to political changes.No consultancy fees required, learn to make Liberians pray each morning to love This Wonderful Land. Write a new national Anthem with love for Liberia, Liberians. Because Liberia at this moment Belongs to The USA, and this is why I could see in the video, you can not even talk. You can call myself one of your people. Change the national flag to a more African narrative.
You’re spot on bro! And that’s why we’re coming home and help the country recover and back to where we used to be.
These Liberian people will kill you coming into their country cleaning up the street, making new roads purifying the water, and getting rid of waste , These people love living like this, and so do their government, You go to Liberia cleaning up it up. you will be kill by the people or lock up in jail
Thanks for you sincere analysis about Liberia.
ih brother I'm happy seeing you in liberia 🇱🇷 much love
Great and honest video.
I couldn’t have said it better. If those in the Liberia do not change their mindset, they will surely get left behind by those coming from the diaspora.
I just love your channel. I see your passion and your love for Liberia. Keep up the good work and prayerfully you will see the changes.
You are 100 percent right brother.
Tourism is THE KEY.. Liberia needs to start the new_ original YEAR OF RETURN.. I STUDIED TRAVEL AND TOURISM/ WORKED IN TRAVEL INDUSTRY FOR 25YRS IN THE UNITED STATES..( RESTAURANT AND HOSPITALITY MGMT. BANKG & FINANCE. AND REAL ESTATE. ..I AM READY OOOOO Kla be ne " ..
You’re absolutely correct.
I was in Liberia🇱🇷 and they were amazing people … but I realized only two problem about Liberians and if they can realize it, Liberia will be the greatest country in the world
1) They hate to be corrected. 2)Too much pride.!!!
I Agree with what the men are saying 100% Liberian’s are their own problems
Two choices: accept it or be that change. Identify role models.
This is so true what you are saying
thank you brother
Bro you so right. ❤🇱🇷
Some of the innovative ideas that would help Liberia and keep Monrovia clean, are to decentralize various organizations, franchises, businesses and other entities of the country so job opportunities can be created in other counties or parts of the country. If this idea is expanded, people would go back to their home counties because they would sure of a livelihood there. Monrovia is the hustling ground for all, therefore, it is crowded and dirty.
People do not understand some African Nation you cannot help , These people like living in poverty and been living in poverty for so long time ,If you go and clean the place up, These people will tear it down and go back into poverty because they are comfort in Poverty, and their cities smell like raw sewerages' which will make them happy
Bitcoin and decentralization are synonymous. See El Salvador. I am US citizen with travel plans to Liberia and Ghana. Need help in planning.
Speaking truth my brother.
IM ALL IN
Very educative
So true 👍
And just to think when the African Americans were in control of Liberia, it was known as the shining star of all of Africa for over 130 years.
Tell em bruh
Rubbish, by enslaving the majority, one party state? Liberia has been a shining star. There isn’t a single American state or country run by African Americans that is running successfully.
No lie told!
Oh yes brother, I know the history very well. And if we built Liberia up and created what it turned out to be at that time, just imagine what we can do now! With millions of Pan African thinking African American people who are now desiring to return 🏡 home, like Elijah Muhammad used to say " We must introduce them to a land some where on the face of this earth that they can call their own", and now with assistance of certain American organizations, China, Russia, North Korea, Cuba and the entire BRICS organization and other Central and South American countries who will " throw us a dog bone", can you IMAGINE what we could create? This is why the unity and creation of a Pan African community in the Americas for the African American nation is so important, so that these concepts of OUR own land can be introduced. But, all hope is not lost for the wheels are slowly turning, as a matter of fact it's already being created on the mental and spiritual plane, we just got to make it happen on the material plane. Peace and love family.
Blowing my shit John, those aren’t wise words at alll. Matter fact ,you gotto come home , so we run it back 💫 type energy . Hella better days ahead
You're right about that.
Liberia 🇱🇷 ❤ love and loyalty. Liberia 🇱🇷 4life😊
He's 💯💯💯 right
Thank you brother I thought I was the only one thinking like that we got to be better please can't ya'll all see we going backwards wtf 😣😒😞
I am too proud a Liberia. I will ne-ever accept that.
Enjoyed content. I'm US citizen with travel plans to Liberia. Need help with planning for best experience . We have estimated delegation of 20 people.
Thanks you brother please Educate the people I am following you from U.K. my name Samuel
Liberians sound like Trinidadians. In Trinidad there favorite line is "we know we like it so."
To all my brothers from the diaspora and American Liberian I am a brother for change amd love please understand
Easier Said Than Done, The People Are More Political Minded and Focused on gaining Power - for Self and immediate group (relationships) than Moving their Country and People forward.
You Guys Need TRUE Visionary Leaders - who are Thinking Outside of the little "Liberian Politics" and Power Structure.
New Generation Should Take Power, People under ...
Young Visionary Leaders
This information is the fact about Liberia, we have to change our minds set collectively if we really want Liberia to go forward in development.
Amen you are so right. Have to stop waiting for other to bring change. Be the change yourself.
We were once first and all others came last. We were the head and not the tail. However we as Blacks/Jews/ Israelites fell far away from our God making us last rather than first by HIS word only. Man does not have the power or organization to suppress a people for so long unless the One and only true God allowed it to be so. My prayer is that we all stop looking for man to help us and turn back to our GOD He is the only help we need AMEN.
Great points made in this video. The mindsets of Liberians keep our nation backward.
We need to change our mindset.
Public works projects are capital intensive. Once built, the government and economy must be able to maintain the works. Liberia still has a long way to go.
Yes go black I will call you soon peace and blessings beyond measure brother 🙏 🙌 ❤️
@ Liberia
Tourism is bigger than all the mineral resources in the ground in Liberia combined because it is unlike the non renewable minerals resources that ran out eventually with time . Tourism will provide more stable and better paying jobs , create more secondary companies that will provide vital services to the sector.

Liberia is a Country in Africa which should be first on the minds of African Americans to visit in Africa. But they are afraid. That's a loss of almost a billion US$ dollars from tourism, or more. People will want to return with their life savings, retirement or wealth they earned overseas, but they are afraid. That's a potential inflow of perpetual revenue of nearly a billion US dollars. Good and serious education is very much due in Liberia. It will very much help to bring the people together.
That's a very true statement! Thank you for sharing! 😍
Brother, no matter what period we are in or the country we live in, people and money do not change.
Make a stop in Abidjan 😊
My brother u are right our people are stock in a box they can't find their way out of even those that in government they are not helping matters at all.
That's everywhere , the majority of our people are brainwashed and into material things instead of coming together to make this world better for us and for our future if your a person that want to do better and want what's best for you then work on yourself and connect with other people that want the same and we can come together and do this together we don't have to worry about who's not doing right leave those type of people behind , whoever want better like my comment and let's connect I'm located in Colorado leave me with an email❤ much love
You spoke facts… please continue this conversation… I’m available and await your response… and yeah, GoBlack puts in good work
As a Liberian, I totally agree with you. We do not have business minded people running our government. Most Liberians complaining now are only doing so because they are not part of the corruption. When in position, they do worse and lack creativity.
Many countries went through civil war, but they are not as messed up as we are. We don’t believe in self development. People who are focused on self development are introspective.
Most of us are not able to site and reflect on where we’re, and the future we want to design.
I say this with much respect, there are people who would like to come in a really, genuinely help but because their skin color is offensive to locals.....they get run out of the country. Or they get judged and called colonialists, including the brother from Black2Africa.
If we are exclusionary of the type of hand we want to help in development, we can miss out on the beauty to come from ashes.
Hello! I been watching your channel for a few years now and I’m very inspire! Would love to connect. I’m a Liberian-Senegalese American that owns a youth film school in Clara town liberia- would love to do a interview. Hoping to connect with you soon and keep up the great work for liberia 🙏🏿🇱🇷

May God bless my Motherland Liberia 🇱🇷. From what my grandmother told me it used to be a beautiful country before the war came. #Sweetlandofliberty
I just think we all have to accept personal responsibilities individually and collectively. Then if the government not doing anything we have something concrete to say. We have to be in the forefront of development and also our mindset.
100%
I guess a change in mindset is required. I don't believe for a seconds that Liberians are not capable of that. Be the change you can be, every little step at a time. Amen Mother Liberia 🥰
Id like to know more about Liberia
Good analysis, good comments, and great mindset. I paid attention to this and read every comment because my heart is sold out on returning to Liberia, my country of birth. The government has a big role to play. The leadership is responsible for steering the minds of the people and setting the path for integration and development. If the government steers it, the media will follow suit. To change the mindset of the country for those inside and outside of the country, the government must consider it a priority to foster programs of awareness and make actual minimum initiatives AND STAY WITH THE PROGRAM. Enforced war on indiscipline against waste dumping could be a starting point. Set time aside to clean the beaches, then encourage the media to show the beaches as an example. We will get there. All these Easter African countries taking this lead started from the leadership. My 2 cents.
Great point
Leadership is responsible? There is no leadership. Please don't expect government to come and help; they help themselves. Be the change you can be and surround yourself with role models that can take you further. Then be that role model for someone else. 💓
There won't be any improvements in Countries until the people have more love trust and respect for one another and come together ❤
You couldn't have said it better.

Hahahaha
I agree 💯 so my question is how can we start??
Liberian people especially the young people now have been grossly denied and deprived of any opportunity for adequate life standard compare to the entire world. The major lacking is education which is a major loss due to the war. Second, development providing jobs for the people are inadequate. You talked about tourism. First the people have to be one for trust and security, but Liberia is divided. There is too much hardship. Liberia has been thrown way back. Liberia was an advanced developing African Country 40 or more years ago. Monrovia infrastructure even from the 60s is decaying, decaying. People are not returning because they are afraid. Tourism requires safety, security and good impressions. More young and educated Liberian will change Liberia. Corruption, going way back and now, needs to end.
I’m gonna say you are right,am mixed liberia and Nigeria and I will say to even go to liberia and spend a month or two I say no way meanwhile I’m looking huge in term of investment,I don’t know if I meet up with you in person sir
We need to stop looking to the Government to solve the problem. The Government is the problem
I'm just today finding out about Liberias history
The fastest way to get something done is to let the ones that want to leave, leave. The ones that want to stay should stay and you help them. If you don't stay, we freeze all your assets. Its really not hard.
He is telling your the truth librarian need to clean up too much trash in Liberia and No law and order so the country is falling
All the people down town in Monrovia need to move out and clean the country bro
I half disagree about people from outside. You have to start with the young kids, they will accept new ideas. Dont worry about the adults. The youth always love new ideas. Adults not so much
You have a point … youth is crucial…
Hope. I could get to know you live in American for 20 years. And on my way home it sad. My name is oretha. Tisdell. Hope I get to know. You love my country
Rwanda went through much worse of a conflict. Today it is one of the cleanest and safest places on earth.
I am Nigerian and believe me once you leave Lagos and Abuja, Nigeria with all its oil wealth is not much better! Liberia is a beautiful country , people would definitely love to come there as tourists . Just imagine if all the cruise ships that were registered in Liberia actually docked and the people came down and spent their money , billions ! But the tourists that have money , Whites, African Americans must have certain BASIC amenities ! Look at Britain ,the only thing the British have going for them is tourism and they are making hundreds of billions !!The British have maintained every building that was built from hundreds of years ago and of course the Royal Family , and people from all over the world are flocking there and spending real money!!
Great point
God bless you my Brother, thank you for your kind and loving words. ❤
We pray for our homeland Africa ❤❤❤
Britain also export advance manufactured goods and services. Tourism is part of the services sector which is the dingle biggest sector in every developed economy.
You're very stupid for involving Nigeria in Liberia issues
Can you compared any city in Liberia to port harcourt or Kano city, mugu like you
Whenever I feel like going to Liberia to visit, the 1st question I always ask myself is what if another civil war breaks out while am there then what next? I have a feeling with the way things are unfolding in Liberia economically there is another civil war waiting to happen but I hope am wrong
its a feeling thats always lingering due to the trauma we all went through.. i do believe that will never happen tho, there was so much more behind those wars... and now most liberian dont want togo back to that no matter what
