- Life in Liberia - City of Monrovia, history, people, lifestyle, traditions and music. Liberia was established in 1822 as a haven for freed slaves from the Americas. Originally named Christopolis, the settlement was later renamed Monrovia in honor of American President James Monroe. Over time, Liberia developed from a colony into a commonwealth and gained independence in 1847. The colony was formally known as Liberia, meaning "the free land" in Latin. Liberia is the only Black state in Africa that was never subjected to colonial rule and is Africa's oldest republic. Liberia is located along the coast of West Africa. It is bordered by the Atlantic Ocean to the southwest, Sierra Leone to the west, Guinea to the north, and Cote d'Ivoire to the east. Liberia is made up of fifteen political sub-divisions called counties. It has a population of around 5 million and covers an area of 43,000 square miles or 111,369 kilometers square. Monrovia the capital city of Liberia, is located on Cape Mesurado on the Atlantic coast and as of the 2023 census had 1,678,000 residents, home to 32% of Liberia’s total population.

You describe yourself as African-American. Do you use the same pattern for people from other places like Asian-American, or European-American, or Australian-American? Technically there are no Americans but the Indians.
Liberia and its people are just incredible. Greetings from Sierra Leone!
Liberians are very beautiful and open-minded people. Father God, protect this country and the citizens.

One day I will visit Liberia
I wonder if any of my ancestors migrated to Liberia.
Liberia all the way our mother's land ❤
Liberia 🇱🇷 must rise
We Liberians are very different, but most of our traits are from the US.
I am from the Kru tribe, but right now I am in Sierra Leone.
Home sweet home 🏡
Now I want to go.
“Liberia was the only Black state in Africa that was never subjected to colonial rule.”
No, that would be Ethiopia. My ancestors unfortunately did colonize Liberia, and exploited the indigenous population. We ruled with an iron fist for over 100 years before being rightly deposed in the Liberian civil war.
Liberia was literally founded by an organization called the American Colonization Society. It was colonized, but now it is free. I hope it can live up to its name going forward - a place of liberty and opportunity for ALL people. 🇱🇷 💕✊🏽
& we not black we Liberian
Liberian has the most polite people
❤ home, sweet home!
Is Liberia save to travel like renting a car and drive around?
Yes.
1 Before starting I would like to bring a precision on the public confession. The public confession concerns the sins committed after the water baptism and not the sins committed before the baptism, even if you had forgotten it when you were getting baptised. Now, notice that a brother who confesses almost every Sunday must not have any responsibility in the congregation. He has more confessions than testimonies in the month. His life does not edify anybody. You see? He is not a model. He is a soft brother. [Kc.18v2]
2 In the same way, if a brother secretly lives a bad life and God unveils him, he cannot have or take on any responsibility again in the assembly before at least one year.
3 Talking about the baptism, I think that we won’t have to make any ceremony around it. During the baptism, one must make arrangements so that all the parts of the body be immersed but if it happens that in spite of the arrangements a part comes out, the baptism is correct. The baptism in water means "dead, burial and Resurrection" and if a person is dead, buried and resuscitated, do not tell him, "Come and die and let get you well re-buried!" This is the voice of Satan. Do you know the depth of the grave where Jesus was placed? The manner of carrying it out does not necessarily affect the baptism. Last week for example, I wasn’t able to pronounce the name of our old sister whom I baptised and not only that but she can’t speak French. I was obliged to try the Dioula. She was a Muslim. She repeated her name several times but I wasn’t able to pronounce that… You see? And other more serious cases will come up! [Kc.34v26]
4 Now I would like to answer some questions. The first is: Brother Philippe, which watch are we in? And this the answer: First the night is divided into four watches. According to the Jewish calendar, the first watch goes from sunset to around 9 pm, the second goes up to midnight. The third watch goes from midnight to around 3 am. And the fourth watch goes up to the morning. The first watch is the evening time. First cocks crow from the third watch. But the cock-crow is typically the fourth watch. It is the time of the great persecution and in Matthew 26:34, the Lord said to Peter, "Verily I say to thee, that during this night, before the cock shall crow, thou shalt deny Me thrice." That is, before the persecution reaches its perfection, you shall deny Me.
5 What’s thus the prophetic Message of Matthew 26? Matthew 26 shows that during the persecution to come, some elect will deny the Message before the sword. And I have indicated that the rapture will take place right before this phase. Luke 12:38 confirms that. The rapture and the persecution will take place after the cock-crow with Asia and the Arab nations.
6 Now, observe a clock which is to strike at midnight: the first sound is heard at midnight sharp. The first sound marks the end of the 2ndwatch. Then the other sounds come after the 1st, 2nd and 3rdsecond and that happens in the 3rdwatch. The Message of the evening time spread over two watches and Matthew 25 says that the midnight Cry will do that as well.
7 Now the second question is this one: "Brother Philippe, it is true that Cain’s dad became a snake but how will DNA test reveal that since there are many kinds of snakes?" Very well, at the appointed time, I will bring some precisions but know that in the same way his son Cain has an affinity with all mankind through the mixture, thus also does his father have an affinity with all the races of snakes. But know that at the beginning Cain’s father had his feet and his hands, and was speaking and walking in the Garden, and had sexual relation with Eve. And it is the curse that made him crawl like the snakes in the bush. But there were already all the races of snakes that we see. But also, it is Adam and Eve’s sin that brought the species. You see?
8 Know first that, like the ox and the buffalo, all that is domestic has an equivalent in the bush and Cain’s father was the equivalent, man’s image in the bush. You see? He was neither a gorilla nor a chimpanzee. But it is the curse that struck him and his house. What happened clearly? Be attentive! [Kc.23v4]
9 Well, … God not only struck him and his posterity but God put enmity between them in such a way that they were divided and scattered among races of already existing snakes. One became a python; the other a viper, the other became a boa … For example, Cain’s father who was gentle and wise became a viper. And Cain’s uncle who had frequent dreams became a python. [Ed: The congregation says, "Amen!"].You see? There is thus an affinity between all the snakes. Remember that when God struck Ahab or Achan for their sin, He also struck all their house. I read that in Joshua 7:24 "Then Joshua, and all Israel with him, took Achan, and ... his sons, and his daughters, and his oxen, and his asses, and his sheep, and his tent, and all that he had; and they brought them up into the valley of Achor. …" You see? Even his oxen, his sons and daughters perished because of the sin of only one.
10 And speaking in the same sense, I would like to say that the true thing which triggered Cain’s anger and which led him to kill Abel is that Abel had preached him the Message on the DNA saying that his father was the snake that crawls in the bush. We can see the DNA Message in Genesis with Cain and Abel, we can see that in the middle with John the Baptist and the Lord Jesus confronted with the religious people of their time and we can see that today with Prophet Kacou Philippe and the Catholic, Protestant, evangelical and Branhamist leaders. The true, always beside the false and the false persecuting the true.

Pls what’s the music name? I really need it
At 00:31 "Liberia was a colony" and at 00:41 "Liberia is the only African state not to be colonized". Have you forgotten about Ethiopia?
Ethiopia was also never colonized. Liberia is very poor, usually on the bottom 10 list of economical developed countries in Africa.
Liberia is the OLDEST REPUBLIC, ETHIOPIA is the oldest NON COLONIZED nation.
I think it should also be explained that the United States when ending slavery sent some freed slaves who wanted to return to Africa there after buying up a bunch of land and basically giving it to them to let them form Liberia.
That's a very important part of the history of Liberia. Thanks for your comments, it is highly appreciated. 💖😍🙌🏽👌🏽
Liberia was before slavery ended not afterwards.😂
What a lie. It’s Sierra Leone that the British government bought land in. Liberia was invaded by the returned slaves, they met the Krahn people there who are indigenous to the land.
Before making such a bold statement, do your research first. The disease of Liberian man is that, they know it all and won’t allow themselves to learn.
correction liberia was not the only part of Africa not colonized, also ethiopia
Ethiopia was not colonised by the imperialist, I stand to be corrected.
Yes, you are right, Ethiopia was never colonised but Ethiopia was a Kingdom which later became a Republic whiles Liberia started as a Republic. So technically speaking Liberia is the first Republic in Africa
Italy pre ww2
Ethiopia was a kingdom and become a Republic later which makes Liberia the first Republic in Africa
Liberia was Not founded by Afro-Americans.
It was started by a white methodist church group that bought Afro-American men & a few women with them. The white people were looking for opportunities through their use of the Afro-American men as their proxy. They encourage the men to quickly take local women for their wives. Just look at the currency it had white men's faces. The first president was a white man.
@@MrRoyck10 But still poor and always at WAR
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Wish this was share with the tik tok community 😊
A reallb🎉❤
Ethiopia was also not colonial by the European,they fought them off.
That's right, the African Continental.They should of stick together,but they were not.Ethiopia
Were the only one who was living up to God's words.And that's why they fought the European off.Amen🙏
Ethiopia was a kingdom and become a Republic later which makes Liberia the first Republic in Africa

Please, I want to visit Liberia, I need a good from Liberia
Does Monrovia have skyscrapers and flyovers and superhighways?
That is a futuristic impression about a green city of Monrovia with sustainable carbon emissions as envisaged by the government of Liberia. 💖🙌🏽👌🏽
Nope
Members of the senate be having terms that last 9 years, africans must rally get up and raise their voices againts such stuff
May tata nzambi protect liberia and Alkablan means Africa
I am sorry but u have to know that Ethiopia is also independent (colonized)country in Africa.
Now I can comment on this video, for once you said the truth about Liberia🇱🇷 not like others saying 🇱🇷 was founded or created by freed slaves , they gained independence from the US or was colonized by US kinda sh**
Ethiopia like Liberia has never been colonised
You are right 💖👌🏽
Ethiopia was a kingdom and become a Republic later which makes Liberia the first Republic in Africa
ETHIOPIA IS NOT A REPUBLIC... LIBERIA IS THE OLDEST REPUBLIC OF AFRICA
Correct spelling is "Bassa" not Basa. That's my tribe
@@bigavel165 thats my dads tribe! Unfortunately, he has dementia and cant recall much about his life there. Im trying to learn more about my ancestry
Liberia is not the only black nation in Africa that was never colonized, because Ethiopia was never colonized either, so this guy speaking in this video needs to get his facts right.
Liberia is being portrayed as a prosperous country but their continued cival, political and ethnic wars have ravaged many of its prosperous towns and cities
😂😂😂 sounds about white
Plus.. trash problem does not add to beauty
😢😢
The American Colonization Society
Like video, tourist, well should be a good thing other than the predators that if they think they can make a buck will try to corrupt everything so that they can make their buck. Bible people taking on others beliefs and culture not a good thing why the world is a mess. But maybe I will get a chance to visit one day
Ethiopia resisted colonization.
Ethiopia was a kingdom and become a Republic later which makes Liberia the first Republic in Africa
Ethopia was never colinized also.
Man, I only visit a country for women and you didn't talk about the women.
Liberian women are very warm and lovely ...sorry we missed that 💖😍💖
