By Gibson W. Jerue Part II: Koije’s Dangerous Rant Will Boomerang I sat stupefied listening to the Mayor of Monrovia Jefferson Koijee rant. He was in his campaign mood that he should have been disrobed off nearly two years ago. For Koijee, although his party won the presidency and now referred to as the ruling party, it was not enough. He is yet to understand that campaigning was over and it is time to govern. He vows tooth for tooth, blood for blood, bone for bone, if the opposition elements attempt to disturb our democracy. What a raw invitation to…

By Gibson W. Jerue Stack Reminder Let’s talk generally. Times have elapsed expeditiously. Two years ago, you were clearing your desk to vacate the Capitol Building to ready yourself for another task – to assume a herculean duty as president of the nation. Imagining that you were enthralled by everything. Thinking about the presidency alone was tantalizing, I assume. You may have played president in the mirror. It dawned on your wife, Clar, at that she was about to be called the “First Lady”. It was not to be home country – Jamaica, it was for a small West African…

By Nyangbay Von-nyon, Political Commentator A fairly dark-skin haggard woman sat psychologically brutalized by the man she has known for years. She was tranced into the horrible days of punches that greeted her every time her drunken husband was out of order. She struggled to catch her breath. She was exhausted, frail, and hungry too. Last night she had not eaten much, for she had to surrender the left-over crust to her poorly fed kids. She stretched her two legs apart, twisting her lips in agony, but hoping the severe pain that is nearly killing her will ease away. But…

Part IV For an evening dose, let’s dissect the first two paragraphs of Martin Kollie garbage in his second part article. Martin set up charges for me to respond to. Before I address his so-called charges, I should like to educate Martin on his demand for me to tell President Weah to publish his asset. Perhaps, Martin and others are just lazy opposition bag boys. If the assets of President Weah is that important to them, they have three things to do: They should go to the GAC and request it. If the GAC refuses, They should go to the…

Part III I had rather delve right into part three, but I am tempted to pointing out a major flaw with some Liberian students. This is the headline of Martin Kollie’s second part article: “The Jettison of a Career Rascal Blustering in Amnesia and Notoriety – Sexagenarian Gibson W. Jerue Under The Guillotine…” READ MORE READ FROM OTHER SOURCES Let’s synthesize this headline for a moment. Martin meant to tell his readers that I am a “jettison” (drop from an aircraft or ship), that I am a career rascal blustering in amnesia (career rascal ‘loud mouth’ in forgetfulness and famous…

Part II The reckless, erratic and irrational leader of the UL Student Unification Party (SUP), Martin Kollie professes to be a moral purest. He badmouths all who disagree with him, often caricaturing them in ways and manner he deems most disparaging, denigrating and demeaning. He portends himself to be speaking for the masses of our people. Martin is supposed to be the voice of reasoning. Everyone else is corrupt; everyone is a criminal; everyone is a national thieve. When you disagree with him, you are a paid agent, media mafia, CDCian, Weah supporter, even if his allegations found no premise.…
