 For more than 162 years, our political leadership and historians have
been glossing over a meaningless relationship existing between the
United States and Liberia; we have refused to accept the inconvenient
truth that this relationship is more of a symbolic than a symbiotic
one.

 What
a difference few years make? So now Milton Teahjay is Superintendent of
Sinoe County. If politicians from time to time are to be graded and
ranked by the blood and sweat they dribbled on the political
battlefield during their careers for being pacesetters and charismatic
leaders who cut their teeth in any struggle to see a respectful
political environment and dialogue and justice prevailed so that an
impoverished citizenry can see the dividends of good governance and
competitive politics, then Milton Teahjay has no sweat and blood.

 Abstract: Electorally, a two-party system is a zero-sum process. The
outcome of the election is clear. Electoral fraud and corruption are
highly controlled. The winning party gets to govern and the losing
party becomes the opposition. The opposition is empowered by the
constitution to check the ruling or majority party from expanding its
wishes beyond the constitution.

 The “Society House” is an era of ritualistic killings. What appeared to
be Freemasonry, a fraternal organization that arose from obscure agenda
that began during Americo-Liberian dynasty, turned out to be called the
“society people” and the “society house” by ordinary Liberians who
monitored the activities of members of the Freemasonry.
The word society is differently interpreted by ordinary Liberians from
its dictionary definition. Society, according to ordinary Liberians, is
a secret organization that engages in ritualistic killings and other
vicious acts.

 O yea meek catalyst of our rocky yet precious and destined hustle-Hope………………….
To the affluent you’re just but a mere and vague word………….
Reversely, to the troubled-hearted you’re the jewel with which we cope!

 (One of Liberia's Greatest Educators)
In every culture, in every age and in every civilization, ancient
philosophers informed us that great souls reincarnate in order to
address the sufferings of others. These souls in their quest to be of
service to their brothers and sisters provide light and inspiration.
These personalities do possess great knowledge, but yet are people of
little financial and material means.

 This is a difficult question for me to address considering the
unconstitutional intrigues surrounding the November 12, 1985's General
Thomas Quiowonkpa invasion of Liberia, and my condemnation of Ellen
Johnson-Sirleaf to reject the decision of the Liberian voters.

It was exactly 24 years ago when Monrovia stood still, residents
awakened by the sounds of guns and singing of the Liberian National
Anthem signalling something strange had happened. Usually, Monrovians
or Liberians were used to hearing the anthem play when the radio and
television stations logged on and logged off at particular times of the
day and night.

 A Short Story PART I
“Did you say you saw a ghost?” “Yes, I saw her clearly.” Did you say
her?” “Yes, with my own eyes, my four eyes.” “And how do you
distinguish a female ghost from a male ghost?” “I saw her hair.” “Did
you say you saw a ghost?” Kaluo’s uncle, a great hunter went back and
forth questioning him about his ghost story.

Pen name-2311
Oh that fateful November afternoon; did I ever have a choice to make?
Could I have ever had a say concerning my humble birth?
Who told the pessimists that Destiny is partial?
Who dares question my cherished heritage and distinct identity?

 “We must not lose faith in Liberia. Liberia consists of majority of
good men and women; if few people are corrupt, the majority is not
corrupt. Therefore, now is the time for all good men/women to come to
the aid of their country (Liberia.) This generation has a choice….a
choice to sit back and do nothing but complaint about how things are
not going right? Or ….a choice to get up, raise our hands and pledge to
change the idea of an apartheid system that brought about the existence
of the Liberian’s State.” - Abraham Hoff III

 One of America’s foremost founding fathers, Thomas Jefferson once said,
“every generation needs a new revolution” that is capable to chart a
new course of action. In today’s Liberia, our generation is challenge
to order a new revolution to forward the social mobility of our people,
and one man has taken that challenge-George Weah.

 Part 1
In exploring what it means to be educated one must take a closer look
at how we seek and acquire knowledge beyond the traditional sense.
