Weah Government Canonizes State-sponsored gangsterism: Peaceful SUP protesters brutalized!

A Patriot’s Diary, With Ekena Wesley What manner of an uncivilized government is at the helm of authority? What kind of heartless regime would unleash a reign of terror upon its citizens? We said no to war in 2003. Many would have hoped barbarism and animalism would be buried. We might have been wrong! Those who successively used violence in the name of peaceful protests are in charge. They have no iota of tolerance. they carry the instincts of morons. They are beastly!

Give Coach Kieta time to stamp his philosophy on the Stars, building a team is a process

July 26, 2022July 26, 2022 admin2Headline News, Kieta, Lone Stars0 comment

By Wleh Bedell For the fourth time in a row, the Lone Stars will fail to qualify from the first round of the CHAN qualifiers after two previous elimination by Mauritania, and Senegal, and with the local Lone Stars on the brink of elimination in the ongoing qualifiers after a dismal 3-0 mauling at home by a rampant Senegal Teranga Lions on Sunday at the SKD, it’s just a proof that the local league here is below par, lowly rated, unattractive, lack the spark and competitiveness with the rest…

The Importance of Jebor’s Return To the Liberian Lone Stars

July 20, 2022July 20, 2022 admin2Headline News, Lone Stars, William Jebor0 comment

By Wleh Bedell Quite recently, the Liberia Football Association extended an olive branch to the likes of William Jebor and Anthony Laffor which could pave the way for others to return to the senior national team of Liberia the Lone Stars. He lastly was seen coming on the pitch as a second-half substitute in the Lone Stars’ 1-0 win against Chad in the 2021 Afcon qualifier on October 9, 2019, at the SKD, Jebor has never featured for the red, white and blue outfit, since then.

ON THE HYPOCRISY OF TERRENCE HOWARD IN UGANDA

July 20, 2022July 20, 2022 admin2Headline News, Musivene, Uganda0 comment

by Bobi Wine I have watched a sickening video of Terrence Howard, a BLACK American multiple award-winning actor, as he pitched to Ugandan dictator Yoweri Museveni a new form of ‘flight technology’ that he purportedly ‘invented’, which he claims is going to “replace Drones, Helicopters, Aeroplanes,” etc. Apparently, he cares so much about poor Ugandans that he is going to first implement his new technology here in Uganda; not in the USA whose, the government has billions of dollars guaranteed for inventors like him. What Terrence Howard may not…

Although he noted that this was not a sufficient reason for pulling down the building, he expressed satisfaction that the Ghanaian government had taken responsibility for the demolition by promising to rebuild the structure to its pre-demolition state. The Minister further noted that the Nigerian High Commission also failed to obtain legal title to the land even though it had paid for it as far back as the year 2000 and also failed to obtain the necessary approvals before erecting the building. In other words, the Nigerian High Commission was equally culpable. A fair and frank admission I suppose.

Refutation to the piece of Vandalark R. Patricks, about Abraham Darius Dillion

July 13, 2022July 13, 2022 admin20 comment

By Alfred Bambo Kaidii Some of our opposition friends believe that Darius Dillon is presidential material, and if he had not “messed up,” in their words, he would have been the main opposition force to challenge Weah for power. This assertion, in my opinion, is both illogical and disgusting, and it represents the bankruptcy of Liberian politics. The notion that the Republic’s leadership must be transferred from one Z-list politician to another demonstrates why Liberian politics is dominated by a corrupt band of charlatans and sycophants. Weah and Dillon are…
