Life is vanity, we came with nothing and we shall all return with nothing. Live your life for God and try to leave good name behind
Life is vanity ooo
I hope you don't have a house, car or anything including clothes. Stop your nonsense talk.
Exactly 😢
While I don't admire the politics of Charles Taylor as it evokes memory of war, killing, displaced refugees, hunger etc, I however condemned successive government for abandoning the mansion to ruins. It could have been preserved and put to public use like library, museum, health clinic, or government lodge. If it were in Europe and America where Africans like to go and pay to see the Roman empire sites and relics it would have been different. I saw the holiday mansion of Osageyfo Kwame Nkuruma left to ruins in Ghana. The same with Kamuzu Banda's house, Idi Amin etc. You don't need to love them as history already have taken note of their rulership but monuments like these could be used to benefit the living materially and learning purposes. Greetings from 🇳🇬
I think we need take care of these places
GBY!
Waste of tax payers money. Shame
It's all due to lack of a system in place... Succeeding government cannot easily determine if these were personal property or govt related. If personal property, then only their family would have the right to alter any thing on the building... This is my personal opinion.
...but where is this property located? I only knew the one located in Congo Town
The circle will continue to repeat until Liberian leaders learn to lead without bloody hands. When you lead with the Almighty God in your heart and your actions you will reap the good things you sowed. Trust in God and not the demons of Solomon.
All is vanity
With love from Kenya
I am from Zimbabwe thank you for such doccies I never knew the Liberian history keep up the good work we are learning
Our pleasure! You are welcome, I really want to visit Zimbabwe 🇿🇼, beautiful country with kind hearted ❤ people. Thanks for watching, please share with others...
I am from USA 🇺🇸 and I always have interest in visit Liberia 🇱🇷. Those past leaders run that beautiful country backwards.
It is a beautiful country, you need to visit
And the present leaders are on the same path or even worst. The lack of plan and the mediocre approach to everything.
This should serve as lesson for president Weah and others. After power what becomes of all those properties?
This is becoming a serious problem for Liberia. Former President, Tolbert, Doe, And Taylor's houses are abandoned, and in deplorable conditions. If care is not taken, the future President will suffer the same fit.
The government should renovate those houses and give them to their family or turn it into a Libary for the public. Something must be done, regardless.
So serious
How are the mighty fallen! Hard lessons about transience of power. However, govt should renovate the pillaged residences of past leaders or encourage affected families to do so. Healing process continues.....
The funds used to built those structures were likely stolen from public funds. Those properties should be confiscated and auction, unless the families can prove the funds were not stolen.
@@chrisnimely4337 I understand your point but because those three leaders were removed from office unconstitutionally, the families may argue that they have no documentation to prove ownership, how will you be accurate in your judgment?
The best thing to do is forgive and honor their memories.
@@suakokonewsnetwork775 Forgive forgive is what got Africa to what it is…There are people right now in government stealing with no second thoughts. That’s because you’re going to forgive them…
The most baffling thing for me is the state of the roads leading to these mansions … 🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️
So true, if the xmas will be good u will know from the eve....
Charity couldn't start from home in his case unfortunately 🤔
Would be nice to show a picture of what the house looked like before
Yes I agree
It just shows ...We all end up in the dust. We have so much to learn from this. 🙏
Nothing is permanent in this world 🌎 💔
This is a recurring theme in Liberia. Our presidents often leaves an legacy of bad governance and depleted properties that their own families are unable to fixed
Thanks for watching
@@emmanuelykortu thanks for what you do. Appreciate you, Bro.
Thanks Mr. korto but it was going to be more interesting when you find someone who know much about the house before and now to do the real explanation
Thanks for the observation and it is well noted l...
I wish Nigerian leaders can watch and learn that nothing is constant
Thanks for watching sir, please share with your contacts so they can follow interesting videos from Liberia
I don't think abandoning the property by the government is a good idea. It could have been preserved as a monument, or for public use such as library.
@uzoejekwumadu7731 you don't know the his behind it.
Not only Nigerian president but all for all African president.
@@ousmanjie3174also CAMEROONIAN LIFE PRESIDENT TO WATCH THIS.
Why can’t these places be use for tourists exhibitions? The community and the country as a whole looses a lot when these properties are looted. They wonder why the country lingers in unemployment and others poverty stricken scenarios. Keeping such places intact, could becomes an opportunity for jobs creation or some sort. We shots ourselves in the foot, and complain of not being able to walk.
These properties are private owned
The state should take it and run it that's the people money
I love your video bro please keep it coming
Thanks! Will do!
it's crazy how most of the former liberian president house are in this condition so all the wealth they accumulated none of their family or relatives can renovate these properties 😢
This is what happens when people get wealth from dubious means and can't maintain it. Family members don't have the means and are not interested. I love how nature is gradually taking over. This is the reason am not interested in a massive structure I can't upkeep. I prefer to plant fruit trees and vegetables
It is stolen money. Vanity upon vanity.
The sin of the parents visit generations yet on born, you cannot loot and enjoy what was for the people of the country and expect your legacy to continue. Mighty God makes sure nothing is left.
Is stolen money. How do you expect God will bless him.
Oooh! My dear and poor Liberia. Sorrow TEARS and BLOOD 🙏🙏🙏
GOD BLESS LIBERIANS ❤🙏❤️😍
So, so true! Life is vanity. Amen ooo 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽.
I like your TH-cam channel because you always uploading new videos, not updating old videos
So nice of you, thanks so much for watching
Wonderful job Mr. Raw
Thanks so much
This should be a lesson to all leaders about how to invest your money, especially president must build a house that your family or children can afford renovating.
So true
Cheap talk. This is why ppl keep building zing houses all over Monrovia. How about no wars?
You guys doing great job.
Thanks so much,
The lesson really is that ill-gotten gains take wings. 2. When you're in power , serve for good NOT evil. = good governance is important lest you leave in shame.😮
You should have gotten someone to explain about the house.
Thank you for the video.
1 he could not tared the road meaning he was shamelessly driving through waterlogged , pothole , darkness filled road etc to his house 2, his life in the vicinity was that of an oppressor who had no good relationship with his neighbour 3, the locality only heard of him without any physical gain from his régime 4, there was no legacy left behind to continue his ideology 5, his belief in isolated life lives on as a force around his properties 6, he never honored any of his predissessors, hence the law of karma has visited his prperties after death 7, in all vanity upon vanity?
By the way, Charles Taylor is not dead, yet. He’s in prison for committing world crimes against the people of Sierra Leone, after having massacred hundreds of thousands (if not millions) of innocent civilians in Liberia. His son who was by his side during that time is in a United States prison for his part in the atrocities committed. He was trying to flee to the Caribbean when U.S. authorities arrested him. His wife, Jewel Howard Taylor, is the current Vice President of Liberia under the George Weah regime. They’re still stealing the country’s money and don’t care about development. There’s a saying in Liberia that goes “99 days for rogues, one day for master.” They will meet their fate
The background music is sweet.....thanks
You are welcome
GREAT JOB.
Thanks you so much for this remarkable video about the ex president of Liberia (Mr. Charles Taylor) house got looted by people❤❤❤
Thanks for watching and Motivation
Thanks for showing this historical Arthington we learned about because of Former President and War lord Taylor. Please show his farm in Bong County and his home in Congo Town. Whenever you visit Grand Greded County please share Former president Doe home in Zwedu. Wish you all the luck. It was nice watching your videos.
You are always welcome, please share with others to watch
my opinion this house should be preserved as moesium to be acase study for tyrannical Leandership
This is my home town Arthington I LOVE IT SO MUCH PLEASE VISIT THE BRACEWELL AVENUE WHOA AM SO HAPPY
Beautiful town
Can't help but wonder how many millions were spent to raise such a huge mansion. Its sad to see the sorry state it has been left in. Oddly enough, most past mansions of ex presidents of Liberia seem to just be abandoned... #Kenyan 🇰🇪...
Life is indeed vanity!!!
All these former houses and other historical buildings etc, should be preserved as a part of the history and will attract tourism, driving money into the local economy of these areas..
Really? Are you joking or serious?
Bear in mind that these are actually private properties. Unless government is granted permission, I don't believe they can undertake any renovations without running facing litigation. More importantly, with all the issues we have in Liberia to deal with, in my opinion, this kind of thing is better left to private enterprise.
Preserve for wat? They should be remodeled
@@MegaLadylove2012 restored is what I meant *
good content you must improve your voice by adding another microphone that you can hold or clip it on your shirt we struggle to hear you
Thanks for the feedback and advice
Great work bro
Thank you so much 😀
Emmanuel you should have shown us the original building
You are right abd thanks for the feedback, your view noted ✅
Even people in Liberia 🇱🇷 are not watching this to learn 🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️
What here to learn?
It would have been nice, if we could have seen a picture of the house in his hey days to compare it too!🤔
Nothing guarantee anyone's an internal life,we are just passing back.we need to expect it in life
YE MUST BE BORN AGAIN.
THAT'S THE ONLY ASSURANCE ONE CAN HAVE IN LIFE
Why you don't show your presentation in a certain way that we know how it was and what became. some photos. Many youtubers are not from Liberia. and your presentation of opening your adventure is so loud but your presentation site is so low. Don't'you have a plug in Microphone. I watch the African Tigress and he Sound is awesome. It gives a vibe to watch more the videos as one can hear well. The camera man is learning and it is better on this vlog. Thank you. Before i decided to subscribe to a chanel i look for a relaxing understanding Vlog. I don't know if you are learning as well to improve.If so accept my appologies.
These building could be renovated for public use. They could be offered for guesthouses. But again, those are private properties well beyond government’s authority. But a way could be found around that, if the family cannot afford those properties.
This is what happens if you're anticipating on getting your to power through waging wars on the same people you wants to lead. This is a beautiful house but has been looted by people. This Life ain't promise tomorrow.
Bishop Tolbert was a great man, his family, his nation deserve better!
Wow where are the children of our former leaders all their parents properties are destroying so sad
Parents stole from the people with no mercy and the Billions pf Dollars saved at the White man’s Banks in AMERICA 🇺🇸,ENGLAND,ISRAEL,FRANCE,BELGIUM,GERMANY...etc are today owned by the Whirw were man and relatives while Liberia sinking in Endless cursed Poverty despite all the Diamond mines 😅...
Can you pls do one of this for his home @Congo town?
Government should take over the abandoned property and make use of it as regional offices.
President Museveni Rwakitula house will be like this in a few years to come.
Really, why?
@@emmanuelykortu it's a pity that 37 years in power Museveni has ruled Uganda miserably. Unemployment is high, hospitals Don't have drugs, potholes yet ugandans pay taxes, Corruption is high, inflation, crime is all time high, Museveni is a big disaster to Uganda and his continued existence as President does more harm than good to the great people of Uganda!
Museveni he's well respected man who fears Allah
And to rule it's people's choice especially people with order but with no order they can't be satisfied
West n it's friends should be blamed
Taylor will always be love n looked important n He Will returns Clean As he's now paying his sins n those who don't know now Must know that that Man to us he's important He deserves second chance like U self n everyone
Thanks. Most of their children destinies were caged or locked, hence not been Economically empowered to add value to family's properties.
The African tv stations ought to show these episodes more often to help deter anarchy which continues being perpetrated by new regimes so as to help them understand power is temporary !
You are absolutely right
Better yet, pass an anti-coupe laws. No govt shall be overthrown by force or used of weaponry in the case of coupe or civil wars etc. Any political regime, party or affiliation tht part such undertaking shall be ban from governance, the office of presidency, public office or otherwise. And if found guilty by the country’s own judicial courts upon all evidence proving so than such parties shall be sentence to death by means of hanging or firing squad. Anti-coupe laws in Liberia specifically would help deter such means of coming into office a complete outlaw with zero tolerance for the guilty
@@MegaLadylove2012 such law can never work especially in Africa where the common rule is man eat man, the only solution is to strengthen the democratic rule and free independent entities infact the developed worlds have few meaningful laws , respect to human life becomes the most basic !!
Should be turned into a Civil War Memorial Museum.
Good idea
When you build a house in the middle of a bush,it will have no economic value and this is just an example of the end result.
You’ll think it was still 1869 from the looks of things.
We got more videos from Arthington, keep following
The music... wow, what the title?😊
Vanity upon vanity is Life
Those people Bragging with big houses ,soon all of us will be ghost ,watching our mansions like this 😂😂😂😂
It's a good lesson to our coming preso be care ful mambo ubadilika my friends
How is it that abandoned houses in Liberia end up as a shell with no roof, front door or anything? Houses can stay abandoned 50 years where I live and still be a secure house where you can move back in.
The houses are looted
Nice❤
Vanity upon vanity, all is vanity
., but why can't it be renovated to be lived it or fir tourist attraction
88K Views is awesome. Keep doing a good job
Thanks, will do!
Wow! This is what happens when there is no llegacy.
Where you living under a rock during the civil wars? Wat legacy are you speakin about in the case of civil unrest?
@@MegaLadylove2012 is there any foundation/ legacy management put in place? Stop blaming the war and be reasonable. As about Taylor's white flower?
Have you seen Tolbert house and how dilapidated it looks?
The war officially ended 20 years ago. Keep blaming the war for our backwardness and let see where we will be another 175 years from now
Can you please tour white flower so can see what going on there too 🙏🙏
Yes I can
I'll buy it and re-build it!
😅😅😅 try it u will die for nothing
Vanity upon vanity,all is vanity. I just pray many present day leaders learn from this.
What is the title of the beautiful background music attached to this video?
It's Fatu Gayflor
Many thanks for the artists information. Do you know the title of the track my brother.
GREETINGS FROM UGANDA
SO EVERY FORMER PRESIDENT IN LIBERIA HAS AN ABANDONED HOME! THIS IS TERRIBLE
What a waste why don’t the government either turn into a museum , a school are a clinic ! It’s so sad to watch such a strong structure just rotting down ! Hmm 🤔
It looks similar to the "thus saith the Lord" on Tyre
Once again, a very sad story, just like Doe's mansion. The government cannot turn the building into a public library?

Thanks for subscribing, welcome to my channel, we will give you more interesting videos from Liberia
The voice of the commentator is not clear , am unable to understand what he's talking about the house
1] The words of the Preacher, the son of David, king in Jerusalem.
[2] Vanity of vanities, saith the Preacher, vanity of vanities; all is vanity.
[3] What profit hath a man of all his labour which he taketh under the sun?
[4] One generation passeth away, and another generation cometh: but the earth abideth for ever.
[5] The sun also ariseth, and the sun goeth down, and hasteth to his place where he arose.
[6] The wind goeth toward the south, and turneth about unto the north; it whirleth about continually, and the wind returneth again according to his circuits.
[7] All the rivers run into the sea; yet the sea is not full; unto the place from whence the rivers come, thither they return again.
[8] All things are full of labour; man cannot utter it: the eye is not satisfied with seeing, nor the ear filled with hearing.
[9] The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun.
[10] Is there any thing whereof it may be said, See, this is new? it hath been already of old time, which was before us.
[11] There is no remembrance of former things; neither shall there be any remembrance of things that are to come with those that shall come after.
[12] I the Preacher was king over Israel in Jerusalem.
[13] And I gave my heart to seek and search out by wisdom concerning all things that are done under heaven: this sore travail hath God given to the sons of man to be exercised therewith.
[14] I have seen all the works that are done under the sun; and, behold, all is vanity and vexation of spirit.
[15] That which is crooked cannot be made straight: and that which is wanting cannot be numbered.
Ecclesiastes 12:1-15
It is a significant shame that our African leaders and politicians accumulates wealth that they cannot enjoy it.
King David was a Black man ,we lost our glory long ago and we should return as chosen people of The Most High Yah.This we see here are Deuteronomy 28 curses at play.
I am not sure what Mr. Kortu's intention is about by posting the burnt home of Charles Taylor. It does not fit for public consumption because of the following: a) no explanation or narrative during the display process, no county/ies is listed showing viewers that the home is location in Montserrado or Grand Kru, b) This home is not important to Liberians, international community, and the public in general; and, c) you do not show the Before and After pictures the destroyed house, etc .
It’s fitting consodering who he was
It's about time we start we refrain from destroying historic assess and interlectual properties and try to preserve some of these assess for tourism, or heritage Park or sites that could generate funds,
These places are privately owned property
Why you guys not using all this property for other things instead to leave it to destroy this ways.
I also saw the ruins of homes once owned by Doe and Mobutu. When will they learn?
What’s he name of that the song
It is humble house for president
Not a bad house if it got remodeled
I have reservation about this video as relates to the authenticity of its contents because i am not sure that the property this gentleman is referring to in this video was developed by Taylor. He will need to do his research regarding the timeline of Taylor's residency in Liberia and the year he constructed this home.
What really do you want to know
During his tenure as the President of Liberia, Charles Taylor was residing (officially) in WHITE FLOWER, right in downtown Monrovia!
Over two and a half minutes of nothing but annoying music negated the value of the information shared in your documentary.
Thanks for the feedback, I will do it better next time. I appreciate 🙏
This shows we don't want war on our land again.
Keep up the great work Emman. Please send me the title of the theme song.
Thanks so much for watching
Show us Mobutu's mansion too😢
Mobutus vandalized house in his Gbadolite village
@@meshackogutu8290 -I'll check it out
Same condition as this one, only pillars still standing ,the rests are gone...
Sound is very poor..
Thanks for the observation and we will do better with rhw sound next time, thanks for the feedback
The intro music, what's the title please please please please
Fatumata by Princess Fatu Gayflor
This is what happened to evil murderers and dictators. Taylor will never ever see the light of day in the free world till his death behind bars. His son (chuckie ) will also die in the cage for his crimes as humanity.
Everything on earth is worthless so I don't understand why some collectively murder others because of the greed for power, influence and cash.
Jesus Christ is God and shall forever remain so 🙏 🙏
Remember they taught us nothing about ourselves. But, according to the great Bob Marley, they told us about Marco polo, Alexander the Great, and George Washington. SMH KMT
Liberian president couldn't build road leading to his house
FOR WHAT SHALL IT PROFIT A MAN IF HE GAINS THE WORLD AND LOSS HIS SOUL?COME TO JESUS NOW AND BE SAVED.
All is vanity after all
Not a good idea by the liberian govt. Renovate the building and make it a tourist site. Btw my Nigeria leaderz should that power is transient.
Very nice house but Liberian people didn’t know the value of it.
RENOVATION .
Nigerian leaders should see that its all vanity
