Who are those typical original Liberians known by the rest of the 53 African Countries which on the Continent of Africa?
Research has shown that the typical original Liberians are those who have out rightly refused to be reform despite everything put at their disposal to conform to those norms of civilization the world over!
I am not one of those so-called typical original Liberian who have ignored his conscious for self-glorification in their quest to gain political relevance from the voting rights of poverty-stricken Liberian people!
Who are those original Liberians who have refused to think outside those boxes of reasoning?
They are those greedy geniuses disguised as political frontrunners with ulterior motives, including bent on illegal wealth amassing, misplacement of party loyalists in government, and rewarding of partisans with professional posts, despite their limitations. They get enormous salaries and benefits at the detriment of the coffers of those government agencies and ministries!
I’m not one of those Liberian whose only concentration is about chantings stupid so-called battle cries behind politicians for their personal gains!
I am not one of those typical original Liberians who feel entitled because I belong to one of these so-called political criminal empires!
I am not that original Liberian who doesn’t care about equipping Liberia’s major referral hospitals around the Country with today’s modern technologies and medicines for the betterment of impoverished citizens, which fulfils provisions in the organic law the land—the Constitution!
I am not one of those typical original Liberians who don’t honor what the National CODE OF CONDUCT law for public officials says regarding work ethics duly enacted into laws by the Legislative branch of her governance!
Those so-called typical original Liberians who often say this is the way Liberians like to do it and one can’t be that Jesus Christ to change what has been entrenched in them!
I am not one of those typical original Liberians who refuse to open their eyes to the negative such perennial attitude is having on their various communities, despite showcasing their plight during electioneering periods which preceded their victory!
I refused to think like one of those typical original Liberians who thinking has and continues to be that the Nation Liberia owes it to me because they voted me into power!
I am not one of those typical original Liberians who once lived in one of these deprived communities as an ordinary citizen, but since entering government, they mysteriously turn into millionaires with huge wealth amidst the impoverished communities they were once an active part of!
I am not one of those typical original Liberians who have no tangible plans for people’s future, but go about spending their ill-gotten monies on flashy jewelries, expensive lifestyles yet some of them rent private homes to the amazements of many!
I am not one of those typical original Liberians, who when they steal public monies they are hailed as being smart with under just few months in top government posts. Many build fabulous homes, finance girlfriends trips abroad on flights in first class to go shopping and holidays in Dubai and the Americas!
I have not been one of those typical original Liberians who always want to impress people just to be considered one of those criminal big guys in the City of Monrovia!
No wonder a recent research indicates that Liberians are second within countries with low IQ, despite all these so-called undergraduate and graduate schools in this West African nation!
I am a Liberian by birth, but not a Liberian in my thinking, walking, association, way of comprehensions but yet I’m compelled to live among a caliber of people who continues refuse to be transformed.
I am afraid that the mentality of the current generation of people have become one of the biggest problems that has led to Liberia’s under development, despite the country’s huge age. At the age of 178 years, black Africa’s oldest independent Republic has absolutely nothing to show, despite her small population and trillions of dollars of natural and mineral resources!
