Liberia needs to make peace with it's past. There is always a fresh start. Much Love from 🇰🇪
Emmanuel, you do a great job of chronically Liberias rich history. Next time however don’t forget to mention that this Tubman farm was in Totota, Bong County, right off the main highway from Monrovia to Ganta and that it contained a famous restaurant known as the Coco Nest. This farm was also profiled in Ebony magazine. It’s however very sad that Liberians allow their great historical legacy to just rot. This could easily be turned into a National Park that tourist can visit from all over the world if the government only had the Will to do so. Liberia is in a Equatorial😅 Rain Forest that still contains rare animal and plants found nowhere else in the World. By bringing in experts from the African countries who know how to turn national parks into Safari game reserves and Americans experts who know how to turn old Presidential homes and old buildings into tourist attractions, Liberia can become one of Africas major tourist destinations. But to allow all the great buildings built during the Tubman era, to just fade and rot away, is a disgrace. Is it superstition that make Liberians abandon their historical legacy? Why is Palm Grove Cemetery, rotting to dust as we speak? Had not President Weah decided to renovate the Executive Mansion after 16 years of neglect it too would have been rotting to dust. If Weah is re-elected one of his greatest legacy could be putting Liberians to work on preserving their rich heritage and turning the country into a great tourist destination, instead of a destination for foreign investors to plunder the small nations limited resources for their own benefit!
Thank you so much...
I assume you meant to say "...chronicling Liberia's rich history...."
Yes and no. Liberia does not need other African country's interference in our history. And Liberia doesn't need the Americans to do any planning here. I am a Liberian looking forward to doing the best I can in this domain. I can assure you that there are Liberians quiet achievers who are looking for proper security in our country for serious investments to take effect. We all have to chip in one or the other.
This should be a lesson for current generation. Liberians only live for the moment we are all about quick pocket change. Let’s try and teach our children this thing called generational wealth and how to maintain and keep family homes or properties in the family.
Please be careful moving around. Some of these buildings don't look safe. The ex president loved big things. Dictatorship, greed and war destroy a lot. Well done for doing this channel 👍👍
Thanks so much for the advice 🙏
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣Vanity upon vanity ooooooo. I am surprised that.../didn't steal these ...BOOKS!!!!! WOW!!!!! MERCI BEAUCOUP.
Watching a video from Namibia 🇳🇦 ,I was one of the United Nation peace keeping member in 2004 in Liberia 🇱🇷 and it's very shameful for Liberian government to neglecting their rich historical buildings
Wow, Thanks for watching, Thanks for contributions to Liberia peace. Hope to see you soon in Liberia, you need to visit again
Thanks be you and the rest of the African countries that help restore peace to land. We highly appreciate your sacrifices
Thank you. I'm in Europe and I appreciate this video. May God bless you 🙏

Thanks you so much for this new remarkable video today’s about the late Liberian leader Mr. William V.S. Tubman’s house in Bong County,Liberia 2023❤❤❤
I like the instrumental. Thanks for the information as well, Eman.
Glad you like it!
Wow, anytime I hear about Tubman I think about my late dad and aunty, they were both fan of President Tubman, pure Liberia history
My friends and I always toured this place forth and back from Cuttington university. Hats off Emman😊🙏🏿
I always watch your videos with lots of emotions, nostalgic and childhood memories you are doing a great job
Thank you so much 😀
Watching you from Accra Ghana keep up the good work I think the government of Liberia can do something about this building for tourism
This is informative. Thanks and keep it up brother..
Thanks and welcome
Thanks for sharing this video 👏🏽👏🏽job
Good to know!
Thanks very much Emmanuel, it is historical and informative. Please visit Harper City, Maryland and similar thing.
Very nice video. It is definitely still a very beautiful property. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching as well and please share with your family and friend to watch.
Interesting stories on your channel. The old man enjoyed himself for quite a long time, 27 years as president and darling of the West.
Hey Emmanuel, thank you so much for bringing some of these untold stories of Liberia. The HOSTORICAL Building/ Homes of the former presidents of Liberia, is it possible for you to share their before pictures to your Viewers? Just a thought! Once again, thanks for what you do 🙏
Good idea 👍. That will help viewers to appreciate what it looked like before the vandalisation and abandonment.
Even with the vandalisation of the building, you can still see it's beauty. Can you imagine what the glory would have been in its zenith housing the President.
Watching you from South Africa great job bro🇿🇦
Thanks so much.
War is a terrable thing to happen in a nation. I'm sure this beautiful place would still been there had it not being for the war.😢
Our little sweet and beautiful Liberia was destroyed beyon repair.
I was born and raised in Liberia.
Things were not as terrable as they are now.
We were poor, but happy and safe.We could buy enough food and clothing with whatever little amount of money we had.
we could go out and come home anytime of the night with no problems at all.Though there were crimes, but not as it is now.
I'm afraid the country may never make a comeback if we don't change the ways of leardetship.
Sad, sad, sad.
Watching from SA
Thanks for watching
The music is so beautiful more than mention...😂
what music? I've been asking you sir?
EMMANUEL Y. KORTU, thanks for the hard work. But why is it the County Diary instead of the Country Diary of Liberia Diary?
27 yrs ain't no jokes 😢😢
Good job
Thanks
So all those past presidents don’t have family members to renovate their houses
My friend this is the result of living of the government. His children do not have the money or will to renovate these houses. They are here in America begging. Just watch after Weah leaves office his houses will end in similar conditions.
Exactly. They are private properties. Except they want government to intervine.
Eh o…
Wowwwww, that Grebo-Congo man knew something about enjoyment 😂🎉
I think the family should consider selling these properties to people who can afford to restore them.
You are right. The role of the government should be to ensure these properties are not sitting in ruins. Develop or sell. The government can provide the properties keep their historic values. The government must spend resources on the country's current needs, not developing properties built with stolen resources.
It seems it is the same recurring theme with our late presidents. They built these mansions only for their families not to maintain these mansions. These are private properties and Liberian government shouldn’t be concerned about such but rather concerned about improving the lives of the people.
well said.
That is what I wrote. The family should renovate or sell. It should be the role of the government to ensure these massive properties are not sitting in ruins.
It’s very sad to see how this beautiful place has been destroyed the Liberia government can help to renovate all places, it has a great history
Yes you are right but it is a private property, it belongs to his family
@@emmanuelykortu but the government can help may be give the families a loan or something for renovation, and it can be like a tourist attraction it will be generating income for the family while paying the loan for the government as well. It’s just suggestions
Wow Liberia is in need of historical preservation program. Sad this history is left decaying
You have a very beautiful country but unfortunately you never had visionary leaders but i hope you change your mindset when it comes to national unity and delepment.I am from East Africa Tanzania,here we have a country that went through the same tragedy like you i mean Rwanda but take a look at Rwanda now they are far ahead but you still remain stagnant.Never give up and stay focused.
Yes indeed you are right, the problem of this country is leadership, we have not been able to identify a visionary leader to lead us as a nation.
Even after Samuel doe was disgracefully taken out of office, it's a shame to other leaders that occupy presidency office in Liberia not to care in renovation of the building for his family it shows that they all have no love for Tubman at all during his life time.
Siblings who ran away should come back and renovate the property
Those houses need restauration tourists would come because that is history
The family has no vision. Ill-gotten wealth is the reason these properties are in ruins.
@@kayk1475 black karma ? Like every where in Africa…but gvt should organize things
One nation indeed.
He had majority of his family in position of power.
The farm was for his family. Where are the hosiptals, schools, colleges near this massive farm?
So so greed. Now the family cannot maintain the property. African leaders. For 27 years, you did not develop the rest of the community
Is it true there’s an impenetrable safe at his house that people have been attempting to open for years but never have?
Where is this remarkable Mansion house located in Bong County,Liberia in July of 2023? The Liberia government really need to furnish this house again in 2023❤❤❤
Why the government? How about his descendants? They should use the stolen resources for renovations. The books are in the library. Turn the mansion into a museum.
The descendants have no vision. We see this over and over. The properties of former leaders sit in ruins. It is a damn shame.
This President Tubman invested much on mantions and forgot about public services like investing in schools,hospitals and roads
Where is this man children?
Took everything and left the books to rotten 😂😂
His children don't value books. Even though they were educated abroad. What a shame
Shame to that country with track records of killing head of states. You shall remain behind in economical development
Why are all the past presidents houses so dilapidated. Why can the government of Liberia take over these properties and renovate them for tourism and touring library.
There are currently no funds set aside for tourism in the national budget.
I believe that like all our predecessors
There was no vision for the future. They should have embodied the people so we can think of our posterity.
When people r in power or healthy, they seem to forget that humans r not stone . Had he empowered his children n the people to care for these infrastructures, Liberians would have . Instead, they established the very same we fought . Doe the same . Charles Taylor worse. Sirleaf the same . N it goes on.
As long as predecessors won’t think for the country the pattern will continue.
Instead of investigating in education n literacy the same way Prince Johnson is doing , they r more concern avoir personal wealth n show .
God bless Liberia….
@@fordaiffa6022 the so called civilized citizens and it's so called educated politicians have proven times without numbers that they are not visionaries who truly seeks the nation and it's uncivilized majority inhabitants interests but rather they and their masters . Seeing a country with a hidden history, is ageneration whose future is mislead! Teach and invest in the kids, enable them to view their actuality of their past and present so they understands who they really are and also encourage them of what are their roles to secure a smart future for themselves. Inshort, teach a child the values of his natural resources from a prematured age.
These places are in a bad condition. The Liberian government needs to keep these residences of former presidents in great condition.
With all the wealth he had . Why ???? Why ???
Too Sad .
What a waste …
The descendants r here in the US …
His children are killing his great legacy
His children cannot afford the maintenance of this.
this is crazy it's very hard to believe all the past liberian president houses are in this condition 😢 all the liberian people money they all stole when they were ruling, none of their family members are able to renovate their properties
President George Weah really needs to takes good cares of these former Liberian leaders for people to lives in these mansions in 2023❤❤❤These are remarkable houses located around Liberia in 2023❤❤❤
Why must Liberian government be in the business of fixing private properties. The government need to focus more on improving the conditions of the people.
You are wrong, private property is no government concern.
Why every liberian president abandoned their homes
Well, Tubman was so worry about sleeping the Queen of England he never put any money aside for his children. Shame on him. All his money was put in red band. Waste 27 years.
Tubman left his family with a lot of money and properties. Did you know how much was in his account when he died? That man wasn’t broke at all. He kids blew the money that he left behind. This is one of his rural properties. Have you seen Tubman building on 3rd street in sinkor? It’s a luxury building with luxury suite.
Use the income from that building to renovate the other properties. They have no vision for creating a legacy for their father. I'm sure some Labonese investor is leasing the property on 3rd Street due to its location. The family did not renovate it.
NO, way, how about those books in the library from a president who stay in power for 27 years come on liberian brothers. Come on George weah, really. As a matter of fact, I'll come, grab the books and give it for free to the Liberian University in Monrovia.
The people of Liberia need services not for the government to renovate former presidents abandoned homes. Where are the families with the stolen country resources?
What a wase.
Please learn to get real information about your video rather than guessing.
There are people around that know some basic information
You doing a great job but show us the environment and not yourself, I think you are focusing the camera too much on your face and not the areas around you.
Well noted, thanks for the feedback I appreciate it
You stole from the Liberian people and built properties in your family names, that is why after government your family cannot afford to maintain these stolen wealth. A serious government needs to come to office and do an investigation on how these properties were acquired. If the family cannot prove, which they cannot that the properties were built with their criminal parents salaries, all of these properties should be confiscated and auction.
