HortenseInspiration ~ Friday Morning on MONTSERRADO VERDANT HEIGHTS
. . . Liberia on my mind soon this morning! Of course, I am paying attention. I have been listening. I have been quietly following. I see the maneuvers. I hear the agendas. I applaud the efforts. I respect the hustles. You all mean well. At least. I pray so.
BUT HERE IS MY HEADACHE with all of you patriotic, stalwart, dynamic, well meaning President in the making. I have not heard a "Vision" for where you want to take the country. No candidate is giving a serious blueprint for their rulership. Not a single one of you have shared with Liberian people your Vision for Liberia.
Furthermore, here's the NO NO NO part. Just telling us how bad the current regime is and has been is NOT stating to me that you can do any better. Pointing out what is decisively wrong does not elaborate what you would do right. Recycling repetitive narratives of how corrupt the current government is, or reiterating how volatile law and order/national security has become, does NOT communicate how improved it will become under your rulership. Simply telling our people, over and over, that the present government is terrible DOES NOT present ideas or solutions. We all are fully aware of the mountains of problems in Liberia. What we are not aware of are those solutions you are offering? Where do you plan to take this country when you resume at the helm of Power?
We are tired of being the least among Nations today. Liberians may be traumatized from decades of conflict and wars, but we are emerging. Our stupid days are ending. Fast. Talk to us like people who got sense. Your dead silence on HOW is traumatizing to us. It is very possible, and equally as easy, that any situation can "progress" from worse to ridiculous. We do not need mere handlers taking over in 2024. Show us the VISIONARY LEADER in you.
Whomever YOU are. You, the aspirant, Presidential Candidate in 2023 Elections, Liberia. Listen up. Republic of Liberia. This is no time for games. Tell the world your VISION for the future you foresee for Liberia. Tell us your expected deliverables. Tell HOW YOU ARE GOING TO BE DIFFERENT. Tell what YOU PLAN TO DO about the conditions we are complaining about. Everything YOU detest now, and complain about! How will you be different than the current situation on ground!!!???
I am listening. Everybody is listening. I hope so, at least. Everyone wants to know. I pray they are all listening to hear you point out your HOWs. Stop telling me how bad the George Weah-led government is. Start telling me how good a government you will lead. Maybe, begin by answering these. Tell us how will you approach crisis points. What's the plan from you? What are your plans to achieve the following of my expected deliverables from you, upon your ascend to the highest Office in the Land, as the next and newest President of Liberia. For starters: Tell me how you plan to:
1) Implement domestic Law and Order and upbuild a fortified national Security Sector;
2) Dismantle, disrupt, or disable the Massive Corruption syndicate;
3) Turn around wayward youth, zogos (former combatants-child soldiers) into normal citizens, for sustaining a decent society for the population;
4) Upgrade Educational System nationwide;
5) Curtail the tremendous wastage of youthful potential;
6) Manage the Sanitation disaster and reduce mounds of filthy trash, disease causing garbage strewn everywhere;
7) Address food security? Don't give me no white-wash language. I'm talking addressing food security in AFRICA, the bedrock of civilization.
BOTTOM LINE... What will be different under your rule, and how are you planning to deliver this different period?
Hear me. We are not stupid people. Liberians are not all that stupid. In this new Era, we plan to merge the remnants of The First Republic with what is good or better about The Second Republic and forge a brand new day, that begins the rise of a Third Republic. One that will show the world how much Almighty God still loves LIBERIA. Are you truly on board for it? The question is for you, presidential aspirant aiming to occupy Liberia's Executive Mansion beginning 2024. Are you on Liberia's side?
If any candidate seriously believe you are the next leader to sit in the Executive Mansion, start by stating your VISION. Clearly and Concisely. All of us know or have heard everything that is wrong about the country. We nah hear eh enuf nah. Enough already. What will you do differently? Are you even planning to be any different? Talk to me. Talk to us.
To Whom It May Concern... START TALKING... We're here listening oooo...!!! We got time. Start talking to sensible us.
Blessings and Peace. Much love from my end. Let's not forget to remain prayerful and trust Jesus.
