Now it is very cleared that what men have failed to do or are unable to do, women have the power and the courage to do it. Therefore, that is what it is with Liberia. For over 14 years of darkness and civil conflicts, Liberia is finally able to see light once again. This LIGHT and WATER that have been restored bring hope to us as Liberians and paved the way for us to refocus and unite as one people, one nation with one destination. It is not about how much light we have or how much water we have restored in our country, but the quality of light we have and the quality of water we have. I am indeed grateful that what we have today is a clear indication that Liberia is ready for growth and development.
This new hope and light that we have, will enable us to see through our differences and solve if not all, most of our problems that we have as a country. The problem of corruption, the problem of leadership, the problem of development and economic opportunity. The problem of education for our children and society. The problem of HIV/aids, the problem of security and safety. The problem of building roads to farming. The problem of building homes and businesses. The problem of our constitution. The Problem with our legal system. The problem with our Elderly and their care. The problem with the era of new technology and advancement.
It is very obvious that one person cannot solve the list of problems that we have. We must all play a role, either directly or indirectly… Whatever role we play, it must be positive, it must be constructive, it must be a role that will unite us and not divide us.
Therefore, as we begin to calmly do our work in the light and not in the darkness, let us keep hope alive. Let us preserve the water that we have now for drinking. Let us hope that everyone has a chance to drink and has a chance to see through this light. Let us hold on to this little light that we have and make sure that from this day forward, Liberia will never again object herself to self destruction and internal conflicts. As we are reminded by the celebration of our INDEPENDENCE, let us be reminded also that self-destruction will never be tolerated in our midst. That this God given land belong to all of us-- poor or rich.
To our beloved president, Madam Ellen Johnson - Sirleaf, Congratulations to you and the people of Liberia on the celebration of our July 26, Independence Day. I extend to you and many more; one million thank you for bringing light and water to our country.
Many of us know the significant of having light and safe drinking water in our country. Many of us know and understand when the well runs dry and the light goes off. We understand first hand the difficulties and the frustrations that we go through when we lacked these basic and essential utilities. Liberia is a proud nation with great culture. We must embrace our value, and use our capacity to manage our resources that God has provided for us. We must learn to manage and provide an oversight for whatever little we have and hold those responsible who misused and abused our system of development. Finally, we must never again allow our water to run dry and allow our light to go off. Together, let us hold on, Liberia will rise again. Liberia will once again be looked at on the map of nations.
May God bless you and may God bless the Republic of Liberia.
