Written by Paul Yeenie Harry
Saturday, 20 February 2010
Dear Ma Ellen, To start with, as you’ve already noticed, it’s not my intention to be formal in this letter. You’ve indicated on a few occasions that, by virtue of your gender and current position, you’re like our mother. I’m addressing you with that in mind. This doesn’t mean that I’ll eat crab with shame – I’ll express myself fearlessly and forcefully. Comments (51) \| Read more...

In those days of yesteryears when the glow of our union was firstly ignited,O Luv’s memories… When gifts and cards spoke their real intent accompanied by bliss and dignity What my anxious eyes behold these days lacks virtue,O where are the true Luv’s stories? Woe betide those who masquerade themselves in ‘red’ yet lacked and ridicule your integrity O those fresh memories of my initiation into your reign, can I relive them this day? Times when natural roses spoke refreshing words today’s expansive presents stutter… Your symbols are everywhere but you’ve not manifested, what more can I say? Comment \| Read more...

Liberia's New Decade Resolution

Written by Akoi Baysah
Wednesday, 10 February 2010
At the turn of every year, many of us make resolutions intended to kick bad habits and start our life anew. Come February however, those promises made to ourselves are all but forgotten as we revert back to our old habits. I know making resolutions can sometimes be an exercise in futility, but I propose as we transition into a new decade, that Liberia too makes resolutions for the “New Decade”. Comment \| Read more...

Three Samuel Does

Written by Nvasekie Konneh

Thursday, 04 February 2010

I. Samuel Doe the Unknown
Was he on the Upper Layer of the 3rd or the 7th Sky? Where on this vast planet earth was him? Was he in the inner circle of the lower region of the milky moon watching us with cold frozen eyes? Was he in his hidden corner consulting the occult science teachers as how to lighten his way with his ambitious plan of upsetting the traditional order of things in our sleeping world? Whatever might have been the case, we were unaware of his existence and we could care less who he was and what he planned to do. He was not one of those firebrand revolutionaries whose revolutionary rhetoric was sounding like sweet music in our ears.
