Sierra Leone Vs Liberia, Which Country Is Better
Welcome to Displore and thanks for watching, in this video, we shall be putting two great west African countries; Sierra Leone and Liberia against each other to see who comes ontop. Sierra Leone and Liberia have come under the raider several times either for their poor democracy, political affairs or violent past. They have similarity in a lot of aspects besides their common location in Africa and freed slaves countries but there are still aspects that set them aside. Many factors go into deciding which country is a better option such as the primary aim of the trip and what you intend doing in either countries into picking which is preferable.

In this video, we will put them face to face in terms of geography and demography, infrastructure, economy, standard of living, tourism and security to see which country comes on top in what aspect and overall. But first let us start with the demography and geography of both countries.
Geography and Demography.
Sierra Leone, officially the Republic of Sierra Leone, is a country in West Africa bordered by Guinea to the north and northeast, Liberia to the south and southeast, and the Atlantic Ocean to the west. Sierra Leone has a total area of 71,740 km2 and an estimated population of 7.98 million people. Sierra Leone has 16 different ethnic groups, each with a different language. Even though Sierra Leone is one of the poorest countries in the world that is facing many challenges such as high youth unemployment rates of about 60%, poor drinking water, one of the worst literacy rates in Africa and health problems that include HIV/AIDS, malaria, and yellow fever. About 81% of its population lives in poverty. The climate is tropical with two seasons; the dry season from November - May and rainy season from June - October. December to January are the coolest months of the year, although temperatures can still exceed 40°C, but in March and April, the months that it gets hot and humid with temperatures around 33°C - 36°C and a solid 50% humidity, making the heat index higher than the actual temperature. The average sea temperature is 30°C. Average rainfall is highest at the coast, 3000-5000mm per year which decreases as you move inland to 2000-2500mm.
Liberia just like sierra leone is a Sub-Saharan nation in West Africa bordered by the north Atlantic Ocean to the southwest and three other African nations on the other three sides, Sierra Leone to the northwest, Guinea to the northeast and Ivory Coast to the east. In total, Liberia comprises 110,000km2 of land inhabited by about 5million people. Liberia was the first African republic to proclaim its independence, and is Africa's first and oldest modern republic. It retained its independence during the Scramble for Africa. In Liberia the climate is tropical, hot and humid all year round with two seasons. The rainy season runs from May to October due to the African monsoon while the and a short dry season from December to February. Average temperatures in Liberia are usually about 28°C but rarely exceed 36°C, the minimum is about 20°C. Monrovia in Liberia gets an average rainfall of 4624mm per year or 385.3mm. For round one on the demography and geography, Sierra Leone is more populated than Liberia in terms of population but the climate of Liberia is more favorable than that of Sierra Leone hence for this round, Liberia takes it home for having a much milder climate.
Infrastructure
Liberia has limited infrastructure that was severely damaged by the country’s long civil war. Roads in Liberia are in poor condition due to poor maintenance and heavy rains. Only about 6% of the national road network of 10,600km is paved. There is no passenger rail as the few which existed were scrapped and sold during the civil war. More to this, the country’s 5 ports of Monrovia, Buchanan, Greenville, Harper, and Robertsport are not in the best conditions. Robertsport had an international airport which was destroyed during the war in 1990, hence it now handles some regional commercial flights but still need

It’s a disgusting mindset to compare one African country to another. This is the divisive mindset that has kept Africa, as a whole, down. Thank you for providing informative facts about both these beautiful countries but please be mindful of the power of your titles and the divide that it can cause.
Could you do Nigeria vs Cote D'ivore? Please.
As an Ethiopian, stop trying to cause division. Successful Liberia is success for Sierra Leone, and vise versa. Love them both to death 🤩🇪🇹🤩🇱🇷🤩🇸🇱🤩
Jake wright thank you
Pushkin- very famous writer in Russia, his grand grand parent was Ethiopian.

Right!
Liberia and Sierra Leone are family members. They both eat the so food, same culture, same people. At the end of the day we all have to work together and grow as one people. One love.
Good for you. We’re trying to build Liberia

The bottom line is Africa lost when we are divided. And we win when we are United as a whole Nation. I see know different aspects of life between the two countries. All I see is one race, one people, one homeland🙏🏾👏🏾👊🏾🥂
I am a Librarian, please don't cause problems between our people, we love one another that what matters, one day GOD will see us through in Jesus name.
Wat problems?
I think both the countries are beautiful in their own way.. I would love to visit them both, one day. I have made videos on the few I have visited. I just love Africa and African people are the best in the world.
Yes 😊❤❤

Liberia🇱🇷 used to be one of the most popular Country in West Africa before 1980. All Neighbours Countries Like Ivory Coast, Guinea, Sierra Leone and Ghana as well as Nigeria all used to come to to work or, do Business. Liberia was supposed to be the centre of Business in West Africa because of our Free Port. I believe when we will have a good leadership, Liberia will be great again.
BDB2020 hmmm stop d joke Nigerians come Liberia to work... link.. in the 80s
@@chrisoghenetegamaloney5799 yes and Nigerians are still there working
@@chrisoghenetegamaloney5799 where is the joke? Don't you know that Nigerians still work in Liberia
Even though I have never been to Liberia but I considered both countries to be the best okay. James KAMARA.
Most African citizens came to Liberia before 1980 because our lrgal tender was the United States dollar, we even used to be call small America.
I love my mother land Liberia. Liberia is getting better day by day.

I love💘 the natural beauty of Liberia. I mean the beaches forests, mountains, rivers, coastline...come first. Sometimes, man made structures destroy "NATURAL BEAUTY". We only need to clean-up our acts; to make things look more beauty. Better? What do you? It's Liberia-of course. That's my home.
Liberia is the best 🇱🇷🇱🇷🇱🇷🇱🇷🇱🇷
No Asia best

Very informative and great aerial photography. I subscribed. I look to quality videos like this as a way to learn about how to improve my own channel.
Thanks for the effort! I really appreciate how the team used key indicators to compare the two countries in each domains. OBJECTIVITY!. However, there is need for more content on some of the domains. Next time, please share with the viewers the source of the information so that it can be properly vetted. Overall, it is GREAT!
Sierra Leone has set many records in terms of academic achievement.
True
Sierra leone is the only country in Africa that rejected Chinese loads to build airport. We can build airport by our self.infacts our airport is good
That's not true!
My country eSwatini doesn't even have diplomatic relations with China and is the only one in Africa
@Razia Conteh yeah lolllll...how weird is he?
Anonymous voodoo
Amidst all one thing that’s undeniable is the fact that these two countries have an existing amicable relationship...more likely the same people in two different territories but falls under the same continent! One major defective theme in common however is the “Ineffective Political System” which is coexisting in other parts of Africa! BUT MAMA SALONE WE ALWAYS LOVE AND LIBERIA IS ALWS IN OUR HEARTS! No cause to spread hate we are ONE AFRICA!!❤️🇸🇱🇱🇷

Nice comparison 👌 this shows that both countries are still work in progress.
Thanks I was going to request about Liberia after watching GH and Angola, appreciated your work congratulations
Sierra Leone used to be the center of learning for west Africa.With this in mind, Sierra Leone has some of the oldest in academic institutions in the world.
And are you proud?
Let's be honest here your country must fix many errors. Don't think someone hates your country we must build our nations and stop WAR.
The oldest university of africa is in Mali timbuktu university. When timbuktu had it university no European countries had university during that time. But timbuktu university was in Arabic. Please do your research.

Thank you very much I really enjoy this video well the country that I want you to compare next is Guinea and Sierra Leone yeah thank you
‘’Sierra Leone has a better economy, infrastructure and is more secure ’’....... Land that we love🇸🇱🇸🇱
But you guys have a huge population, with a high increase in poverty..
Liberia airport is great now
When you invest in sierra leone you will never regret it. The business is big and going faster
Proud Liberian!!! May God continue to blessed mama Liberia 🇱🇷 🙏🏾🙏🏾
Sierra Leone 🇸🇱 off course the best the only best country in Africa but when it comes to been African we all the best so please let’s stop divided eachother and help other people
Contradiction
Thanks for putting this piece together. Even though there was many errors, we have the most beautiful beaches and natural harbour in the sub region Sierra LEONE 🇸🇱 land of peace and Stability..
Land that we love our Sierra leone. Mamá salone na comra con tree.
@@ridabrahim4438 which peace
What about all the new roads development and infrastructures going on in Liberia from 2016-2020? You did not talk about them.
The high illiteracy rate in Sierra Leone is due to the civil war and Sierra Leone is one is richest country in World in terms of natural resources.
Sierra Leone have only Diamond. Not as Rich as Nigeria
Emekuz Banks why will u even bring Nigeria here... only kogi state is richer than Sierra Leone
Liberia has so much natural resources but the government made it so hard to invest. We have very gud water, we have lots of fish in our water, iron ore, gud soil, rubber, seaport etc. But the citizens are not benefiting anything.
Farma Dunor yup LAMCO iron company...Firestone rubber...etc. Liberia has fertile land for growing okras and rice, you name it.
chaz king the only thing Nigeria has over everyone is their country size and oil mines.
Thanks for doing a comparison between Liberia and Sierra Leone 🇸🇱 as I requested of you. Thanks 🙏 for such an excellent work. Keep it.

No comparison. Africa is one
When there is no comparison there is no competition. our African leaders need to make Africa a better place for us all. No were like home. Liberia need to weak up n see from reality stand point..

could you please give me idea about how cost the renting price of a house/appartement furnished in Freetwon ?,
oussema bouyahia $2000/$3000 per year
Monrovia, Liberia
@@kingdust00 that is great ..do you sure 3000 $ per year?? furnished and in an expats' area ??
King Dust in Freetown? Are u ok? Should be 500$
"Better" is such a subjective word that I wonder if you understand it. Each has its strengths and weaknesses.
As a Ghanaian, I've lived in both, and I would choose Freetown over my own Accra for its natural beauty. It is not as developed as Accra, but I can't think of any city in Africa with a natural beauty like Freetown's.
Plus, the language, krio.... Is there any language more beautiful than that?
Freetown all the way! I'll be visiting soon.
Liberia and Sierra Leone are so similar in history, culture and ethnic background, it would benefit both countries if they can unite to form one country.
Land that we love 🇸🇱🇸🇱🇸🇱
What country is the content creator from?
I’m Liberian and my best friend is Sierra Leonean❤️
Sierra Leone and Liberia can never be the same in culture and traditon. Sierra Leoneans are more accomodating than Liberians. Sierra Leoneans are not violent or hostile with strangers but Liberians are. So they can be neighbours and that cannot make them similar. Liberians were colonised by Americans whilst Sierra Leone by Brittain. So that makes the two Countries different.
Thank you.
Lol then you really dont know anything about Liberia and its people trust me and you are right if you say Liberia is a trash though and do you know why, the faults are from our evil leaders who destroyed such a renowned and well built developed country like Liberia in the entire Africa due to many years of wars or else would you even say such about if it was still at such height no way instead people will be comparing Liberia to European countries because Liberia was already small America by then so you cant compare America with America hence Liberia would have been compared with European countries but however its well we will bounce back God is with us my sweet home mama Liberia.
Am a Guinean business guy I have been to Liberia and Sierra Leone to be honest with everyone Sierra Leone is far better than Liberia in all aspects. There is one though I love about Liberia is that country is business friendly for people like me . Just my opinion thanks
This guy don't know what he's saying and he's say to suggest for him. Please tell him to do more research before coming here next time!
This is the hardest true dear ..

I think it’s a fair judgment. Mama Liberia is the best but I hope Mama Africa can become a single Country.
Please do Kenya VS Tanzania
In your review of ports and airports in Liberia, you confused Robertsport with Robertsfield airport. Robertsport never had an airport, although Lake Piso used to receive Pan Am Clipper planes for a short time after WWII. I worked near Lake Piso for a few years in the 1980's and would swim off the abandoned seaplane pier. A also worked with an old man who used to drive a small supply boat to and from the sea planes. On the other hand, Robertsfield airport is far away, on the other side of Monrovia.
