parables and proverbs from Liberia....

Liberian Parables are short stories and saying which are Usually meant to teach a lesson, or to give an advice. frequently, the selfish person learned that lesson the hard way.

The child who says his mother will not sleep will not sleep also .

A wise man does not find the depth of a river with both feet at the same time .

When a crazy man runs away with your clothes while you are in the bath room, don't follow him.

A child who washes his hands clean eats with elders.

A bird and a fish can get marry but where will they build their nest?

You should never play in the river and tease the alligator.

To circumcise leopard is not the thing, but who will hold him down?

If you don't know where you came from, How can you know where you are going?

When a hen faces it backside to the direction of the wind, it will certainly be disgraced

The hen that never stays in the nest never hatches the chicks .

When elephants fight the grass gets hurt

A visitor is a guest for two days. On the third day give him or her a hoe

Education is like an ocean, it does not have an end

Liberia. A brief video history.......

Here is a brief video history of Liberia, i found very interesting. from its humble birth as a nation to the present day.
Liberia was relatively calm until 1980 when William Tolbert was overthrown by Sergeant Samuel Doe after rice riots. Liberia Africa's oldest republic, became better known in the 90s for its brutal and, ruinous civil war and its role in a rebellion in neighbouring Sierra Leone.



Today Liberia is trying to forget its recent past, and focus on nation rebuilding.

Liberia In Pictures

Liberia has a lot to offer when it comes to tourism, The land is rich and beautiful, we still have some of the largest virgin rain forest on the whole African continent, The people are friendly and Kind, all we need to do is developed and show off our beautiful country.











Some countries in the world only depend on tourism for revenue, why can't we do the same for our country? why let all this beauty waste for nothing?
