This was a very enlightening conversation. As a Liberian in the diaspora and who didn’t grow up in Liberia, I’m always looking for ways to learn more about my country. I’ll be buying the book. Thank you, continue the great work.
I have been following all of the history of every country in Africa. I was amazed to find out about the Bassa and Gola tribes and how they spread all over most of West Africa and part of Latin America. But listening to Dr. Burrowes on Liberia before 1847 really lifted me more as a 🇱🇷. Just want to say thank you both for the subject well narrated .
I will pass the kind words to Dr. Burrowes. Thanks and please subscribe.
Wow... Liberia is always first in everything. I need this book and I look forward to rewarding discussions like this on your channel.
Thanks for the kind words Jimmy! Between The Kola Forest And The Salty Sea: A History Of The Liberian People Before 1800 by Carl Patrick Burrowes is available on Amazon.com
We will do our best to keep the conversation interesting.
Just fantastic discussion makes me dream back to my upbringing in Liberia. Love it, Love Mamma Liberia….
Thanks for the kind words.
Where are you now and which part of the country do you hail from or you grew up in?
Amazing job, Octa and Dr. Burrowes, I learned a lot from this session.❤👏👍👍👏❤
Our pleasure!
Very interesting and important Octa! You have started something good here. Thank you so much Dr. Burrowes.
Keep it up!
Many thanks!
Very informative Octa, keep up the great work!
Thanks
Hey Octavius!!
Long time. Thanks for the program. I'll make it my duty to listen all of the time. Keep it up Octa..

Great show very informative
Thanks a million Bobby.
Love it! Great info
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great job here on these topics gents!
I can tell you this...those "spider stories" were entertaining & they also helped shaped how I am up to this day.
My deep/mixed roots plays a huge role in how/why I connect with all things Afraka. Glad u guys touched on Afraka's soul/greatness before the colonizers disrupted us. With this age of information, we will unite & rise again... hopefully in our lifetime. Keep up the good work here & know you are playing a big part towards forming positive mindsets.
I'm curiously suggesting a topic for your next vid: (if possible, invite folks from both camps to discuss this topic in a open minded logical style)
Should we believe ACS's agenda for their Liberia as it is being thought in history books??? OR??? Open our minds for a sec & see the ACS as the perfect Trojan horse for colonialism 2.0? 🤔

Very informative
Thanks. We have much more in the way.
Wow. Thanks Boy Blue for sharing this with me. I myself don't know much. Living in Cape Town for nearly 24 years, this is good for me.
Thanks for the kind words Sam. Welcome aboard.
Love this
Charlotte, thanks for the kind words.
This was a great discussion brothers. #NewSubscriber
Thanks for watching and double thanks for subscribing. Next in that series is the Mid 1800’s. Hope you get to see it. Please share with everyone.
Thanks again!
Thanks so much for this valuable history. If you don't mind and please don't take offense, my observation is that you interrupted your guest too often, it would be nice to allow your guest to complete their thoughts
No harm, no foul. Thanks for the observation. I will do better next time - promise! I am looking for future program ideas. Any thoughts?
@@octaviusobey299 thanks for your understanding. Regarding future thoughts/topics and I am just thinking out loud here - what do you think about a topic on "how can we motivate our children born overseas to get involved with the future of Liberia?" I struggle with this topic with my own children.
The producer is aware of your program idea. Thanks again for the constructive input. Please subscribe, like, and share the video.
i just got schooled :) more please!
More to come, stay tuned.
So, was it the finding of Liberia which had an initial and profound ending of slavery or essentially a powerful movement in the ending of slavery? In other words, those who were mainly involved had their eyes opened - so to speak, wide opened because of such movement and how things were going.
What is the name of the professor speaking? Hiw do you get on contact with him?

Sure is…. Thanks for the feedback.
Thanks Teewon.

It's time for the truth my people. Bless those that are bringing the truth ❤
I need to speak with Dr. Burrowes
Hello Will,
I will forward your request to Dr. Burrowes.
What is your email address?
Do you know him?
@@octaviusobey299 is he americo liberian
We as African learned during the time of the Babylon when kings were visiting the Babylon in showing what they have, where they came from and the educational level
The interviewer interrupted the chronological flow and went on to a topical flow.

Thanks for the interest in the channel. Your feedback will help us get better and do better next time.
We need a chronological history.
I agree.

Désolé je l'ai raté, quel est le lien?
Faites-vous référence à l'image?
Fyi: sub 395 😉
Thanks.
You know what was also in west africa, the capital of Atlantis
The richat stricture
Interesting! Can you please send me some info on that?
I will disagree with some of the information given. The region of west Africa was long ruled by the Milan empire 💯 percent
These titles are rubbish. It gives the appearance that most people have issues with who created the Liberia we know of today.
Thanks for the comment! So what’s your suggestion? What do you think the titles should have been?
There was no Liberia before 1800.Liberia as a geopolitical entity was formed by returning Africans and the other ones on the coast who signed treaties to join the colony
Technically correct!
Pre-1800 Galinas or Melegueta Coast might be more apropos; the country was formed by returning Africans AND those who were there.
Happy New Year!
@@octaviusobey299 say people of the coast don’t limit it to red coast line of Liberia 🇱🇷.No such area existed as a collective.Most tribes were isolated from each other and numbered only in the hundreds
@@Kalagenesis So when and where would you like to begin a general discussion about the place we now call Liberia?
….
@@octaviusobey299 to be less divisive you could have talked about the coastal migration in the 1100’s the migrants from Islamic kingdoms in the 1600’s or the Bassa migrants 1000 AD from Sudan.You keep talking about 1800 shows you have an inferiority complex about the people who created Liberia as a modern geopolitical entity
Wrong history. Kissi , Gola are Mande language.
Thanks Kebba, but we respectfully disagree. Google it!
No they aren’t. Do you speak any of those languages ?
Very well spoken.Pls keep these videos up.I love to hear our history.Iron sharpens iron
Thanks
@@octaviusobey299 may I ask are you.and this man from americo liberian families?
Love this
Thanks
