    I remember when I was just a boy, my friend father was one of the engineer that worked on that construction of this house. He took me and his son for a tour in the entire building. I can still remembered, when entering into the house they had one ceiling in the house that had a grass ceiling and we went to the pool area, it was beautiful. Thanks for sharing this video, it’s a great memories.

      @@capoislamort100 They did not say that Liberia was a Utopian society pre civil war/s. Obviously, there were problems like everywhere else. Just that life there was rather good comparatively speaking before things fell apart. I am aware of Liberia's history and the conflicts between ethnic groups.
      I try to stay clear of internal politics in African countries. Reason being, they are all multi ethnic, with histories of animosity between ethnic groups, that sometimes leads to bloodshed in the worst case scenarios. Case in point, I also know a lot of Ethiopians of different ethnic groups. There has been a historic tug of war for domination of the country between the two Habesha Semitic speaking Ethiopians, Amhara and Tigray for over a 100 years. There was recently a war between the the northern Tigray region against the federal government. The Tigray region was strategically cut off from water, electricity and food for over 1 year by the federal government. The Tigrayan I know were 100% unanimously of the opinion that their people were facing a real genocide. Like the Jews in WW2. At the hands of the federal government, ethnic Amharas principally responsible.
      Now, all of my Amhara friends were 100% of the opinion that the Tigrayans are purely fabricating lies about a genocide, to get outside support. The also view Tigrayans as inherently evil and greedy. They say minority Tigrayans ruled the country for 30 years, marginalizing all of the other ethnic groups.
      Sorry for rambling, but I hope you get my point? I don't take sides in internal African issues. Like the conflicts between Tutsis and Hutus in Rwanda. Or the current one between Tutsis and the federal government in DRC.

      Doe had no vision. He should have developed Zwedru instead of spending millions on one mansion-stupid African leaders. So wasteful. Now your children cannot enjoy the home.
      African leaders gave our resources away for a few bucks and begged the same Western countries for fanatical aid. Instead of using the resources and income to develop the country.
      The Western leaders will forever look down on African leaders and consider them ignorant fools because they do not have national pride.

    Doe accused Tolbert and others of greed and had them murdered in the name of justice, only to turn round and do far worse. The attitude of a typical African despot.
    Liberia was impoverished under Doe but he still built such a mansion.
    The irony is today his legacy is in ruins. Vanity is vanity.
