There are two deceptive questions Liberian politicians want to impress on the minds of voters in 2017.
OP-ED: LEC Woes Continue
The grid was well planned and laid out. Cables ran throughout the length and breadth of Liberia. I don’t remember owning a generator or hearing the hums of a generator during those good old days.
OP-ED: Liberians Must Pick Up Slack When Int’l NGOs Leave
Look at any cover of Front Page Africa this week and you will see the reality of Liberia today. This is the reality that all we Liberians are left with as the last of the last NGOs and international organizations are pulling out of Liberia before the new fiscal year begins.
OP-ED: Changing the Liberian Mentality is the Truest Recipe for Progress
Last month, Monrovia was spellbound with what was one of the best oratory I have ever witnessed in my short life. Prof. Dr. Patrice L. O. Lumumba, a Kenyan pan-Africanist, was in Liberia and delivered two speeches.
OP-ED: For the Youngest Continent, It’s Time to Reject Septuagenarian Leaders
Africa’s older generation has made its mark. It’s time for a new crop of youthful leaders to have a say in Africa’s future.
Read the Articles That Won The Bush Chicken 5 PUL Awards
On Friday, June16, the Press Union of Liberia presented five awards during its annual award dinner for reports published in The Bush Chicken.
OP-ED: Entrepreneurship Can Reduce Youth Unemployment

OP-ED: Hopes Of National Reconciliation Fading
Without question, the reputation of President Sirleaf on the international stage is flawless. At home, however, most Liberians have serious doubts about the President’s commitment to national reconciliation, tackling corruption and prioritizing policies aimed at healing the wounds of victims of the Liberian Civil War. At the 11th hour, I call on President Sirleaf to salvage her legacy and reputation at home and among Diaspora Liberians by jump-starting national reconciliation and prioritizing healing the wounds of war by issuance of an executive order, granting visa waiver that opens the door for all Liberians forced into exile by the brutal civil war to return home and begin reconciliation.
