    Everybody in Liberia works for Lebanese, Indian, Nigerians but Liberian. This brother is doing his part to change the narrative. During my days at LU, was able to rub shoulders with Lester. I am inspired by his courage .

    My first visit to Africa in January 2022 was to Monrovia Liberia and we viisted Da Callabash 3 times! We had a GREAT time. The food, music and drinks were EXCELLENT! Great Customer service as well. I highly recommend visiting. We actually had the chance to meet the owner and he made us feel so welcomed.

    Mr Kromah, thank you so much for mama Liberia. Many are talking, and constantly bashing Liberia.We as Liberian can do it, is time to be self sufficient and use what God give us. I know is a challenge doing business in Liberia, but we can’t allowed that to hold us back. And I’m glad people like you are taking the leaps of faith to invest in your own. You are man with visions, and I pray God will help you every step of the way. We are getting there. I’m constantly telling people, 10 year from now, Liberia will not be the same. We are not competing, but working and moving in our own direction. So inspire. Liberia is all we got, we’ve cry, suffer, mock at, and I believe our time is now. Job well done👏🏾👏🏾. So fabulous and thank you Ballah as well for showcasing our sweet home.

    D’Calabash is one of my favorite places to visit in Liberia. Lester put a lot of thought into this establishment. From the quality of the materials used to the receipt cover was well thought out. Lester, you are an encouragement to a lot of us Liberians. Keep doing what you do!!

I really admire your strength💪 and I love the fact that this is a Liberian owned business. I like the fact that you and your wife are always there during operation hours and interacting with the customers, your staffs are very friendly and up to standards.

    @worldtraveler2417 2 роки тому +1

    Glad to see Liberians taking ownership of their country in terms of entrepreneurship instead of being bystanders while the Lebanese, Indians, Chinese, Nigerians and others dominate Liberia’s business sector.
    This brother is a real Liberian entrepreneur. Liberia will prosper when Liberians take ownership of their economy: more private enterprises that create more jobs. Depending on government jobs or being politicians will not develop Liberia.
    Government sets regulations, build infrastructures & institutions, and collect taxes but private enterprises create jobs. Keep up the good work. Yes, facility or property management is the key to maintaining good facilities.
    Keep producing quality videos.
