There is nothing wrong in Liberia that hadn't been before.
The problem in that country of almost 5 million people, is there are 25000 brainwashed slaves (descendants of former black American slaves) who think skies have to fall if they are not in power.
For almost 150 years these slot folks denied basic rights to natives, reason why CIC ( Commander in Chief) Master Sergeant Samuel K. Doe led a bloody coup against president William Tolbert in April 1980.

Today George Weah, a native, is in power, that is why they are outrageously making noise everywhere saying the guy is not educated and talking about corruption.
What the F...
Sirleaf graduated from Harvard , what did she do during her terms in office ? Nothing. Her son was a crook who used his mother's position to rip off the country.

black will also be black. check Obama regime.

China from no where become world power
the middle east become stronger.
Africa become the poorest and biggest hit

Blackman will always be a black man.

now trump is making American great again.


Agreed there seems to a fundamental problem with black African leaders. Most black leaders seem totally clueless about leadership and governance. Take Nigeria for example, in spite of all the natural and human resources we have, we're currently ranked as one of the poorest countries on earth! We also rank low in infant mortality, and life expectancy in general. This shameful trend is shared across almost all black African countries for the exception of Rwanda (the Singapore of Africa , and a few other countries in Southern Africa. Ghana, Kenya, Tanzania are not doing badly at all. Nigeria's poor state is particularly worrying and annoying because we have some of the brightest brains, talented people in the world; and abundant natural resources which could transform us from a backwater country into the envy of the world. E dey pain for chest ooo. Our leaders are evil. They're so good at being evil that even the devil himself cringes at our leaders!

With regards to China's meteoric rise, it is fair to say that that trend begun even before Obama came into office. China's rise came about conscientious planning by the Chinese government. The Chinese borrowed a bit of Singapore's development model, and fine tuned it to work for themselves. They also made their country the factory capital of the world, attracting hundred of American companies that wanted cheap labour. I do envy the Chinese, I won't lie about that. How a poor country became the second largest economy in the world is a wonder. Isn't it?

All those screaming tyranny up and down don't realise the damage social media does to a society not ready for it.

It is like giving a child a gun or access to pornorgraphy.

Are people suggesting Weah needs more money?

Or that he's simply a tyrant?

Africans are yet to understand the use of social media and just about most things we touch - democracy for instance.

For me, social media has done more harm than good for the people of Africa.

Mumu. People like you should be kept in the zoos.

Well , they clustered in Monrovia since their arrival, refused to speak any native language ( it is still going on today ) .They
refused " inter- racial marriage" ( this proves how dumb those folks are), they even practiced slavery , selling natives to plantation owners ( see League of Nations Report ).
They excluded natives from government jobs for more than 130 years, until K. Doe stepped in in 1980 and executed many.
