I am Liberian on both my mother’s and father’s sides. I’ve always been interested in Liberian history, but since I don’t live in Liberia and left at a very young age, my knowledge is limited. Now that I’m older and have a family of my own, I want to learn more so I can pass that knowledge on to my children, ensuring they understand their heritage and can continue sharing it with future generations.

Additionally, I’m working on creating a global social network for Liberians, allowing us to stay connected no matter where we are in the world. I believe that by uniting our community, we can make a meaningful impact on our country and shape a better future for the generations to come.

I work with a faith-based organization in Liberia that installs solar powered drip irrigation systems to help address food insecurity. We have two very old tractors (1979 Yanmar and 1984 Kubota) that we use for plowing but they are worn out and unreliable. I am researching which manufacturers have dealer and parts support near Monrovia. I believe there is a Sonalika tractor dealer in the Red Light community. Does anyone know of other brand tractors available? For example, is there a Massey Ferguson dealer in Liberia? What about Kubota, Yanmar, or Kioti? Any help or recommendations would be deeply appreciated. Thanks!

Knowing that Liberia was the First Nation to gain its independence, why is it so underdeveloped?

Hey guys! A little while back, I asked a question on here about video games in Liberia and I heard that people play stuff like MK, FC, NBA 2K, etc… there. My other question is: what years did gaming come to Liberia, I understand late 90s and early 2000s was a time when Liberia was in a civil war, so video games were the last thing on people’s mind. But I am just curious, what years did gaming appear in Liberia?

Was it before 2000?

Was it in the 2000-2003 period?

Or was it later?-(2004-2005)

Or was it more like in the 2010s?

Thanks for your answers!!!

Hey I want to fly to Liberia for a week and a half. I would like some advice on how to fly out of the US and avoid really long layovers in unknown airport.

Anyone know anything about the Boley’s of the krahn tribe ?

Planning on using this as a middle name for our half-Liberian baby. Husband thinks it's pronounced like Saya but we want to be sure (his Dad is Bassa but he grew up with his Kru mom). We're told it means a surprise blessing from God. Can anyone confirm?

Hello everyone! I am looking to learn Grebo and I am wondering if anyone has any Grebo learning resources?

I’m an American woman and exclusive with a Liberian man - recently, he shared that he’d like me to be more romantic towards him.

I don’t want to offend him (culturally), so what could this look like to show him that I do love him? I’m trying to not overthink it, but…I NEED HELP!

Eating my first torborghee (in USA) and it is awesome. Great stuff

It's time to plan my next trips for 2025 and it could be Liberia next Fall for one of them. My main concern remains accommodations. Are they available around all the country and not only around Monrovia ? It will not be my first trip in Africa. Thanks in advance.

The Liberian frontier forced formed by Arthur Barclay recruited people from today Grand Gedeh County and Nimba County and this force only was established because of reconstruction demanded by The leauge of nations. The leauge of nations commisions headed by Arthur Barclay didnt want Charles Db King in office and so the leauge actually betrayed Arthur Barclay's request for a new administration that he and pleyono gbe wolo and other high ranking officials in liberia recommended but instead they sent european officials to literally control and reform the government leading to foreigners training liberians and the use of colonial tactics that have traumatized my great grandfather and my krahn family today. So when people tell me america sent so much aid to Liberia back then, i am shocked because they actually sat back and watched a british coup and a sierra leone coup almost materialize against our government, then you kind of colonized us for a brief period and made us keep the changes so you can appease companies and also you kind of manipulated our presidents hand into agreements and when we fought back you lowered our credit rating as a country and let a foreign bank literally our central bank was controlled by firestone, and they didnt employ liberian experts to manage the bank.. so Liberia was stuck for 30 years.. We used to sell fire coal and salt for nothing close to a dollar and because we had a floating exchange rate we were literally just obedient to the us dollar, worshipping money. We are still doing that. So now I understand why our dependency on America and trauma goes far beyond politics this is pseudo-slavery, so no wonder we have been trying to be with American interests so much so we can get some breathing room. Plus the only reason Grand Gedeh was integrated wasn't because we needed a County, there were terms for rubber industries to control people and tell them they can only plant this and sell it at the world price to make a profit when they were actually creating a value chain management system according to a system bent on maximizing profit on exports and using the exports to support the companies around them. It's crazy. And then Tubman changed the constitution and kept Grand Gedeh entangled in this system and poor. The law and order was never the goal. Our laws were being undermined the entire 20th century and they were actually stronger in the 19th century Lol.

Hi everyone!

I wanted some advice from those who know the country well.

I’ll be going for work in Monrovia and wanted to ask what are somethings I should prepare myself in terms of differences. (Context I am a woman from Canada). Some questions I’m curious about:

What’s the climate like during the months of Jan to April?

How is the bug situation? I’ve lived in different parts of the world and I learnt that this is something I personally always need to consider. Do they come out in swarms, are they biters or are they only there in the night time, etc.

This may be worded silly and sound ignorant (I am both- hence why I am here and trying to learn before I travel) but what is the bathing situation like? Is it a shower or is it a bucket bath type situation?

How would you describe the region of Paynesville? What’s the safety of it on a scale of 1-10? This is where I’m primarily going to be along with other places.

If there is any general or specific advise you’d like to give outside of these questions, I’ll always be grateful to hear it.

I understand answering questions takes time so I really appreciate any help that can be offered
