Congrat Aisha Dukule !

[Kirkpatrick Weah]

Congratulations my dear Aisha!

 

We look forward to your success at Marymount University and authorship of a book that will inform us or generation to come on the plight of the downtrodden masses of our country and the way out.

 

Poverty Reduction Strategy was created and embarked upon as a means of lifting our people from "mat to matress." It will be a good read if a daughter of the famous "Dr. Duke", a very closed friend to the President and analyst through whose eyes we are informed of President Sirleaf's "success" presents a narrative of such "success." My son, J. Dogbe Weah, a student of Mass Communication shall focus on: The PRS And "Continuous Suffering of Youth and Students in Rural Liberia.

 

So, my dear daughter Aisha, here is your assignment

 

Liberia's Poverty Reduction Strategy: A Myth or Reality

Take note Aisha, my son is on the ground at the Methodist University. You are here. Both of you are children of good Liberians who have their own stories of President Sirleaf's leadership of our country.  Wishing you good luck in your academic aluta.

What is wrong with the people who so ardently support or speak in support of everything President Sirleaf does or does not do? Are they so blindly allegiant that they are unable to critically evaluate and analyze what they say or write? Don't they realize how utterly nonsensical some of the things they say or write in defense of President Sirleaf are?
 
How in the word can Josiah Anderson say the road pictured in the photo below "is way yonder better in these days" without yielding to even some of the most basic tenants of human common sense? He fails to even consider that we can see a picture of not only an impassable road but one that is potentially dangerous for anyone who would try to traverse it. Yet he says it is "way yonder better than in those days". How much worse was it, Josiah? Please tell us in more detail how much worse it was! For even the complete absence of a road is not worse than that road in that condition - meaning that it is better to have no road than to have one that is both impassable and dangerous to the safety of people who would use it.
 
Would Josiah Anderson like to commute to and from work, the doctor, school, the supermarket, etc. on a road like that? Or does he think our people do not deserve better? Until and unless we who are living abroad (especially here in the USA) in comfort and with relative ease learn to put ourselves in the shoes of our people so that we can at least imagine the pain, frustration, despair and discomfort they feel as they navigate their way through the maize of daily persistent frustrating circumstances in Liberia, a nation nearly 164 years old, we will continue to say things like the one Josiah Anderson said about that road in Liberia.

These roads have been this way from "Charlie King time," way before Ellen was even born. And when I plied the highways and by-ways between Lofa and Bong counties in the late '80s as a project analyst for the Agricultural Cooperative and Development Bank (ACDB), I can tell you this road is way yonder better than in those days. Reconditioning roads of this nature by the way,  is a second-term priority of the Ellen government, in order to stave-off perennial hazards associated with commuting on these death traps. This is why Ellen must be reelected to do it before one of those certified crooks and rogues lined up out there take charge and begin to throw us in jail if not killing us just for criticizing or pointing out these social blights. This is how I see this.
