A Liberian based in the United States, Tracy Coleman has expressed the need for citizens of the country to make the difference by investing in their mother land.
Miss Coleman, in an interview via Facebook Massager, told this Reporter: ”We should focus on some of the things that are not yet made in Liberia, by doing businesses empowering woman and children who cannot afford.”
The youthful Liberia said that all countries that is developed around the world have been able to reach their level of development not only by the leaders of those countries but by its citizens.
She indicated that a country cannot be developed by just the leader of that country, but through the help of its citizens.
The young Liberia, who hails from Maryland County, said that some of the things that Liberians from every part of the world need to know are that they (Liberians) can make a great impact in their country by establishing businesses, companies, schools, orphanages and many other impactful initiatives that will help the needy rise from their poverty.
“All these things are things we can do as Liberians, we as Liberians; we need to help develop Liberia. Just look at great America today it wasn’t just the leader that made America great; America is great today because of its citizens so we as Liberians we can do the same,” Miss Coleman said.
She said that most of the information they see on the social media from Liberia are all negative, something she said is not doing well for the country.
The young Liberian woman stressed the need for Liberians to project a positive image of their country to the world.
Miss. Coleman said “Look at Nigerians when you talking with them the only thing you will hear from them is that Nigeria is the best, but when our brothers and sisters talking, they only talk about negative things”.
“We always say negative things about our country, saying negative things about Liberia, won’t help us as citizens. Even the great countries every Liberian lives in today, their citizens are always positive about their countries.”
Miss. Coleman went on to say that every Liberia should put what she called too much politics aside and focus on development, peace and unity something she said will go a long ways in history.
“This too much of criticisms won’t take us forward, but erase the gains made by pass and current presidents” Colman added,” she concluded.
