Hi Laura, thanks for your trip and blog!!!! I visited Liberia in 2004-2005, as part of helicopter detachment of UNMIL. Was very impressed of nature of your country, infrastructure, and also local people so poor kind and heartopened!!! Wish to you and all Liberians peaceful and rich life they dream about!!!❤❤❤
Wow! Your are finally back. I was so excited when the notification popped up for this Video, because I knew there was going to be a lot to learn. You are doing a great job, thanks.
Just curious! Last time I watched County Diaries by @Emmanuel Y Kortu I realised that farms/ homes of former Liberia Presidents Taylor, Tolbert, and now Tubman are in ruins. One wonders whether they all got destroyed in the civil war(s) or it's just sheer negligence. Otherwise I do watch your works too. Kindly do one on former minister (late) Emmanuel J Bowier, the historian. He contributions during TJRC (2008) are educative to both Liberians and non Liberians alike. Be blessed....Much love from 🇰🇪 Kenya.
This is kinda crazy. Even the books from his library should be preserved. Imagine someone owning a book from John F Kennedy's (or any presidents) personal collection in the U.S. It would be deemed a priceless historical item.
J. J. Roberts' grave and birthday celebration would not have been taken care of or celebrated if he had not willed his properties to the Methodist Church. The Methodist Church makes sure his grave is in good condition every year, and a ceremony is held on his birthday. The government isn't the one doing that.
@@brendaw.bainda1725 You're right. So there needs to be a historical preservation mechanism in place since history is a part of what attracts tourism (the T in AREST 😉) to a country. The government itself doesn't have to do it but they can make grants/funds available to those who want to, because in the end it benefits the country. I know it may be unrealistic given the circumstances but in a perfect world that's how it should operate.
@@millionairemaine8901 Yes, it's possible, but their great, great grand children, who reside in the USA, have no interest in Liberia until a private entity or the government wants to do something with it. That's the only time they come visiting Liberia, preaching laws and taking the matter to court. That's one of the problems behind those places being like that. The families don't care, and they don't want anyone to develop those properties.
legendary waste of money and public ressources. As long as Liberian will not be patriotic , this sight is always going to be seen very very sad, same case for Charles Taylor

I love Emmanuel J Bowier, I wish he would've written a book.
This farm was not destroyed during the war. I think it’s just negligence.
thank you
You're welcome
Nice content 💐❤️
Thank you
This area could be rebuild and use for tourism and the family can generate significant financial benefits
Yup
Good ❤

It’s just so hard to understand how things are done in Liberia.🤦🏿♀️
Those properties are privately owned by their families. I think they have to give the go ahead before anything is done there.

Is this his rubber plantation?
There’s no longer a rubber plantation, but this is where it used to be.
Thanks a lot! CooCoo Nest, not CoCo Nest.
Okay
4, 000 acres of land for one person? wow! corruption selfishness and greed
legendary waste of money and public ressources.
As long as Liberian will not be patriotic , this sight is always going to be seen
very very sad, same case for Charles Taylor
