 Propagating Rumors and Lies: an act that has become an entrenched component of our culture

“No matter how long a log stays in a river, it does not transform itself into a crocodile”. This is one of my favorite wise sayings in the Kpelleh language. The log might be mistaken for a crocodile by some people, but yet still it does not become one. This saying can be applied to lies that have been told uncountable number of times.

 Dear Senators and Representatives

Republic of Liberia
Today in Liberia, LEAD Liberia applauds the National Elections Commission efforts to educate the Liberian’s people on the electoral process despite the hurdles placed on its way by the Liberian National Legislature.

Corruption: A moral defect on our national character
Written by Joseph Kweedy Solo   
Thursday, 15 July 2010

corruptionAs patriotic Liberians living in the diaspora and associating with people from different nationalities and cultures in public interaction, sometimes it is a daunting task to try to describe the problems our country is facing. In the heat of the war, I was in graduate school and some colleagues of mine were so interested in knowing what is going on in Liberia, they always surrounded me to ask me questions about Charles Taylor, Samuel Doe, Prince Johnson and even William Tolbert.

Written by Mohamed Sherif   
Thursday, 15 July 2010

liberia_grxPresident Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf has selected Sanniquellie, Nimba County as the site of this year’s Independence Day, July 26 celebration in spite of that county’s infamous reputation as the venue of horrific Massacres during Liberia’s uncivil war. With the hands of its two senior Legislative leaders dripping with the blood of the innocents, the choice of Sanniquellie defies all reasonable logic.

rebutFalsehood that Merits Response: A Rejoinder to Mulbah K.  Morlu’s “Decoding Obama’s Message to President Sirleaf, and the Fahnbulleh tragedy; emerging signals that Unity Party could rake 2011 election”

The young man stood completely erect. He was very tall and had broad shoulders. He could have passed for a small giant. He stared longingly into the horizon, past the white sails of the ships billowing in the wind. The ships were all anchored at the docks in Savannah or were on the ocean waiting to dock.
