1. Liberia's Presidential Election 2011: Weighing the Options, Thinking Peace, Stability and Progressive Development
Wining the Nobel Peace Prize is certainly a boost to Madam Sirleaf's campaign. Liberians are divided on the positive effects it may make on her bid for a second term and if she even deserves it, but does it really matter? My presentation herein is based on the findings from my investigative inquires. Being an independent thinker, after weighing the positives and negatives of all the key candidates for the presidential election. While I currently support a particular opposition party (Which has only began this year), I'm now beginning to re-evaluate my balance of neutrality. In order to be more...
2.The Rejection of the TRC Recommendation & The Distortion and Minimization of the Liberian Constitution: The Culture of Impunity!
Why can't the Liberian constitution then serve its real purpose in regard to this matter, since "the TRC recommendation is not constitutional" as they claim? In reality, if the constitution is truly allowed to serve its purpose in light of this matter, it has a tougher penalty than that of the TRC recommendation as it also involves imprisonment for those who commit treason against the nation. Under the TRC recommendation, while they are banned from office for a 30-year period, they still walk away free from any prison term. The recommendation of the Commission, however, is our best option for now, since the Liberian constitution itself has apparently lost its value in the last two governments (Taylor and Johnson-Sirleaf).

3. Dream of a United Land of Africa II: Liberia's Potential in a United Africa By Bishop R.S.W Chea, ThD
I highly admire African leaders like the late Dr. Kwame Nkrumah of Ghana who originally embraced the idea of Pan-Africanism. Though there have been others, but he is the icon of such ideas. Nkrumah won the first democratic general election in the British Colony of Gold Coast in 1951 by landslide while still in jail. He was then released and asked by the British Governor of the Colony (Charles Arden-Clark) to establish a government - Ghana. His party also won 34 out of 38 seats in the Ghanaian Legislative Assembly. Though he made one mistake of trying to silence his opponents, but he still meant well for Ghana and Africa. We all know the story behind the coup which led to him being overthrown in 1966. Africa is in desperate need of leaders who really care about the people they lead or aspire to lead! We seldom find a good leader in Africa, and it appears that More...
4. The Road Ahead: A Vision for Liberia's Future - Bishop R.W. Chea's Lecture
My Dear Fellow Liberians: Greetings! I pray this message finds you in great spirit! Our once great Liberia must rise again; and the countless tears of our people must be wiped away. Our dignity as a great people must be redeemed both in Africa and the world; we must be restored back to our rightful place in Africa and among developing nations. Our country must be saved from the very hands of those who brought it into waywardness and political, economic and social paralysis. Yes, in response to some, we are once again at a "crossroads" of important decisions regarding our beloved country, and of that we are fully aware. We know what we want, and though achieving it is the issue and does not come without difficulty More...
5. Bishop R.W. Chea: The Dream of A United Africa
I bring you tidings of hope! It has been my dream now for some time to see a united Africa. Do I believe in Pan Africanism? You bet I do, and I believe it's the only true hope for our sweet land of Africa. I believe that true success of a nation comes through capitalism where the people are equally given the opportunity to succeed, and this has a place in Pan-Africanism, without which Africa can never measure up to the West and other developed nations. We are so far behind and it's like we got stuck in a time machine. Look at India for example, is she still a third world nation? Look closely and think again. Think about Liberia and where she can be in a united Africa. I'm so sick and tired of thieves who call themselves leaders and keep our people in severe poverty while they gain riches overnight. As a youth growing up in Liberia, I was never really into politics, but More...
6. Bishop R.W Chea: THERE IS STILL HOPE FOR AFRICA!
A couple of weeks ago I saw the movie "Behind The Gates", a real portrayal of the 1994 genocide in Rawanda, produced by BBC Movies. This movie has given me a whole new look at Africa and the level of our wickedness! I never felt like crying watching any movie, but I did when I saw what really happened in Rawanda. Tribalism to the highest degree, where one tribe vowed to entirely extinguish another - men, women (some were even pregnant), boys, girls and young babies were killed. Even babies were chopped up with machetes like one would chop up wood or a dead piece of meat. How can one chop up a pregnant woman or a young innocent baby? How can one chop up a woman running for her life along with a young baby in her arms? How can one chop up a living human being? More...
