NGO Monitors Welcome...With Hopes
Translations available in: English (original) | French | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic

Recent news parading our communities is the coming of A new consultancy group that is to monitor and evaluate the activities of the Government of Liberia, local and international; and non-governmental organizations operating in the country is expected to be introduced in few months time.

This offcourse, i will really welcome, since indee, we have seen and experience parading Local NGOS and Int'l NGOS around monrovia and its subburb in the name of helping the Liberian Population. I believe if there can be such initiative that will monitor the performance of even the Liberian government and these NGOs, in terms of the positive impacts they are making in the country, we can assure of some cautions and sorts of assurance for quality and quantative delivery of services.

BUT - my hope is that this is also another NGO - that is hanging out of prospects to shoulder income from some expects who have interest in the success of the nation.

Let it be as they dream.....!!!! "FOOD FOR THOUGHT TOO"

Welcome, we are waiting and looking.

Independence for Liberia - July 26
Translations available in: English (original) | French | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic

Now we are celebrating OLD AGE, Not Achievements……

Some Years back a young African American man from Virginia named Joseph Jenkins Roberts declared the colony of Liberia in West Africa an independent republic on July 26, 1847. The following year he became the first elected president of the new country. Roberts moved to Liberia in 1829 at the age of twenty from Petersburg, Virginia. At this time, Liberia was a colony owned by a group of people in the United States.

Up to date, Liberia is in her 161 years OLD, we are still celebrating…..!

What have we achieved and what really make US happy when we are happy…Celebrating?

Maybe OLD AGE….hahaha, But I believe we need to check –IN and see what’s really wrong with US.

All of the countries that just got independence in the sixties, that I have been to, are by 80% better off than the OLDEST in Africa……what is our JOY?

FOOD FOR Thought….our Assignment???????

Welcome friends of Liberia…..Let’s Celebrate..!

Monrovia Flood SERIOUS PRECAUTIONS REQUIRE...!
Translations available in: English (original) | French | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic

PRECAUTIONS REQUIRE>>>!

It is becoming very unusual to evry coastl cities around the world with the fast growing incidents of floors all over. I think it is about time for governments of most coastal cities to start taking precautions on how to prevent future accurence than rushing humanitarian crisis.

As we all are aware of the issue of glabal warming and yet trying to negotiate with world most industrial polutants of the global atmosphere, it would be more wiser for us to start sensitizing our citizens about the traits and dangers that sorounds US ALL...!

The recent story about flood in Monrovia and the worst among all should serve as a clear warning that such incidents will continue and be more deperate than earlier........So, needs most attentions...!

Acording to IRIN news MONROVIA, 21 July 2008 (IRIN) -

Intense and heavy rainfall in the Liberian capital Monrovia on 20 July caused the worst floods on record in Monrovia and forced nearly 1,000 people out of their houses, Liberian authorities told IRIN.

All day Sunday, residents in eastern areas of the city including in Paynesville, Townhalk, King Gray, Fish Market and other communities were seen removing personal belongings like mattresses, clothes and pots from their homes. By the end of the day, flood water had blocked roads to the area, and government rescue workers were using canoes to evacuate the remaining people from the flood areas.

"Right now, the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Internal Affairs along with the Red Cross has been assisting in evacuating the flood affected residents to safer locations and as a temporary measure the government has relocated those residents to shelter in nearby schools," Liberia's Chief Medical Officer Bernice Dahn told IRIN on 21 July.

"With close to 1,000 persons displaced this is the worst flood we have experienced in this city," she said.

Meteorologists have warned that the entire West Africa region is likely to receive above average levels of rainfall in 2008. Floods have already been recorded this year in countries including Benin, Cote d’Ivoire, and Burkina Faso.

However Liberia's Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) acting executive director Jerome Nyenka told IRIN that the cause of the Monrovia flood is due to what he called "encroachment of human habitations on wetlands" as much as the level of rainfall.

"In this case, we have been able to gather that the affected areas are swamps. Because people have erected structures on those wetlands it prevented the flow of water and caused the floods," he said.

Dahn said the health ministry is already liaising with several of the international aid agencies which have presences in Monrovia to coordinate assistance to the flood victims.

BUT WE HAVE TO DO MORE.......Let's start a better joining now...

Thanks for reading.
