    Watched until the end! Coming from “JJ Roberts Time”, but my first time commenting. And from the perspective of having moved away forty years plus, I enjoyed listening to you. I found your point of view informative, helpful, fun and well put together and said as are all of your other videos I have watched! 👏🏾👏🏾

    Been here over a month and couldn't agree more with everything you've said. With the issue of the ATM, i setup mobile money and i send wave myself 🤣... The fee isn't bad and I have my money changer guy..

    Good to see you back😊 I visited home last October, and I spent so much money (on what? I don't even know)! I was so mad I told my family I'm not going back😂
    I used sendwave to send money to myself after the cash I took ran out.

    Quite an informative video! Interesting insights, some very subjective, admittedly. Thanks a bunch. For a guy who hasn't lived in Liberia for a time span closing in on four decades, this was hugely helpful and realistic, as opposed to a travelogue.

    Excellent, informative video, Joyce. I was in Liberia for 8 months (Jan-Sept. 2024). All points are truthful and well covered. Especially being ! 👍🏽
    A suggestion: I have a bank account with IB, but due to all the high fees, I used Send wave to transferred money (up to $1000) from my US account to me. (fees are cap @$10) However, I always had cash for just in case. Ex: March 2024, the internet was completed down in Liberia for days. Could not transferred money from Send wave to my Lone Star account. Having cash tucked away was a blessing.
    In total agreement with you…Semi-permanent in both countries with God’s permission. Thanks again.💫👍🏽🌟🙏🏽

    Thanks for the information beautiful! Hopefully I will be ready to visit Liberia 🇱🇷 by God’s grace! When I became a citizen 10 years ago, I thought I will! I am a proud Liberian and African in America 🇺🇸, but there is something holding me back. Most of my siblings and my mother who have visited the united state ,retire and are living well in Liberia 🇱🇷 .

      Sis Norma: Noticed that too. Very clickish. But Joy hits the nail on its head: everyone is acting busy, makes you wonder if they’re really thriving. 😅 I just want to hang out and visit me people. I don’t want anything from them in Liberia, other than visits. I’m good! 😂

      No comparison to the food in Liberia at all. I had palm butter, and was so glad our daughter got to see the palm nuts being beaten, and palm butter cooked fresh. Nothing beats that taste.
      The fufu tastes amazing in Liberia too. Everything is so fresh and no health issues eating rice.

    @hemeheru6219 Місяць тому

    Hey Joy, long time oh..This Hemesheme...It's been a while since I commented on your channel but this time I like the subject you chose...Now a better question is one I been asking myself since 2008 when I moved to Caldwell from the US is..Can I luve in Liberia without the US..? The answer is HELL NO !!😊
    . To me if you move somewhere, then you moved on supposedly but that's not the case with LIB...Life is stress free in Liberia if you got your stuff together but truth be told..It's not growing..People see new buildings that people put up and consider that progress or development but I don't consider that development..Development is not only structures but a new plan a direction by the administration. Aka Government & President, a growing mindset of the people to move forward to better days and truth be told that doesn't and hasn't happened...So like you said you have to do both but with that how can Liberia even be compared to USA in living..? if you need to keep a hand holding on to the US then Liberia isnt enough... Would you give up life period in the US..? NO but there was a time you did give up life in Here at home in Liberia..So it is clear life is better in the US if u can't let it go.. Can life be much much better home with LIB of course but we're not there because the commitment and most importantly the sacrifice isn't there to make with all of us who has had the privilege to see and learn a different way but don't or didn't bring those ideas home like in many other African countries... We build our house and our small business to benefit us but not the country..Hopefully DJ Blu will become President one day and since his eyes has seen a different way there will start to be a better way because he is making the sacrifice to change administration not just build for self enjoyment.. I hope you understand... I love the points you spoke on...Thanks sis..

      @SheSpeaksToo  Місяць тому

      Thanks for watching!
      Data analytics for which company, doing what? I don't see a great demand for that yet in Liberia. Social workers are usually employed by the state or in Liberia's case, the government. I don't see that as a viable option, as that is not field that is widely used in Liberia. Also, a government employee is such a broad term. Even the president is considered a government employee. Which government employee?
