 Like a fresh scald, my heart bled with immense sorrow,
While my eyes formed fountains of tears that flowed endlessly,
When I heard that you had left the earthplane and entered
The realm of ideal peace and perfection and intelligence.

Mental Health Month occurs each year in May and is designed to increase awareness about mental illness.
There is a social stigma associated with mental illness in Liberia, and
this stigma prevents the majority of people with mental illnesses from
seeking help

 Why do we still use the words Country and Congo and disparagingly place Liberians in one group or the other?
For the past several months, I have contributed articles/letters to
numerous online news media. My articles have been tailored to cover
issues of interest to Liberians. In each article, I have advanced ideas
that I consider relevant to the development and safety of our destroyed
country. It has also been my intention to evoke additional ideas on
whatever the topic, hoping to enrich the debate. I have deliberately
tried not to be divisive nor insulting to anyone.

 Earlier this year, a controversy ensued between some members of the
Executive Branch and Mr. John Morlu, Auditor General of Liberia,
involving property damage allegedly caused by Mr. Morlu at the Roberts
International Airport. In view of this yet unresolved imbroglio,
Senators have opined through their recent legislative action that this
controversy has severely relegated Mr. Morlu thereby rendering him
bereft of the probity necessary to carry out any objective financial
audit of the Executive Branch.

 I have just returned home from another visit to our country, Liberia.
As usual, relatives and friends have been asking me how things are
going on back there. I have told them that the answer to that question
may depend on who you talk to. Just like any other place in the world,
things are going so well for some people and not so well for others. If
I must give any answer to this question, it is the feeling of optimism
that Liberia is going to bounce back but it is going to be a long tough
journey before we get there.

 In the wake of the current increase in armed robbery attacks on defenseless citizens, especially assaults such as raping and wounding of women and senior citizens, the Council of Coordinators of the sixty-four constituency of the Congress for Democratic Change (CDC) do support calls by its Representative Hon. Edward Forh to make armed robbery a non-billable offense.

 "Wake up, wake up, day na break."
Mama’s voice penetrates my tiny,
Little body and wakes me.
Does anyone feel for me?
I wake up and realize a fresh day has
Truly dawned and I see mommy’s
Girl and daddy’s boy go to school,
Dressed and loved.

 "...As you are well aware, the causes of this nation's collapse are deeply
rooted and longstanding. They will not go away by rebuilding
roads, planting a few companies, turning on the electricity, or simply
saying let by-gones be by-gones...."

 Apart from the manic of terrorism, race and religion in recent years
have proven to be two main explosive issues worldwide-so explosive that
they sometime result to death and destruction when these issues are
taken to extreme level.

 ...we call the Ministry of Justice to immediately and unconditionally
arrest witness Sayweh for undermining the works of the commission and
for perjury. We find it very disturbing that when millions of dollars
of taxpayers’ money have been expended to assist the process, some
persons with malicious minds are planning to deride the entire process...

 Sell Assets to the Rich: President Sirleaf Agrees, Billionaire George Soros Disagrees.
President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, following the directives of our
creditor (World Bank), is planning to sell/lease government-owned
entities to the rich. And many Liberians, apparently, for obvious
reasons, are paying little attention to the issues of neither
privatization nor its dire consequences as expressed by billionaire
George Soros or Paul Volcker, the former chairman of the U.S. Federal
Reserve Bank.

 According to H. VonLau, we exist and survive by making judgments. In
this big issue that has supposedly been shaping the fate of the
Mandingo people in Liberia, our judgments are based on simplifications
and generalizations, on what we have heard others saying about the
Mandingo tribe. All people, particularly in a democracy, should deal
with and judge these two words, SIMPLIFICATION and GENERALIZATION, with
caution. The choice before us is bad and misleading, simplification and
generalization.

The escalation of armed robberies in Liberia is troubling. Many of the
online media that cover Liberia are regularly reporting robberies and
other vicious crimes including physical injuries to the victims. I
recently read on one of them of series of armed robberies at Popo Beach
located on Bushrod Island and another in Caldwell. There was also an
occurrence at Jallah Prall’s Community on the Old Road, Sinkor. I have
also read of armed robberies not only at private homes but also at
hotels!

 We give power and wealth
And prominence to ordinary
Man and make them extraordinary.
Yes, believe me, we give them
Greatness, fame and wealth,
But they never care for us.
Anyway, we are called the masses.
