There is the African proverb that the stubborn fly that perches on a corpse will follow him to the grave. This is exactly what happened to Samuel Doe. Nemesis caught up with him.
Emmanuel Bowier was such a good narrator. So much of Liberian history died with him. Immense knowledge from these video snippets. To the author of the channel, thank you.
He lied too damned much though, but when an educated man, highly literate, who can read and write chose to be an Oral Historian, then my brother, he was a jokester. 😂😂
At 14:28 he said NPFL had a good relationship with ECOWAS. if only Doe knew that ECOWAS sold him or gave up on him already 🤦🏾♂️. That man did not listen until it was late...then he wanted to leave. No, you trapped
Brings back memories, I spent some time in Liberia during the Doe 21:54 regime. Actually I worked with a Samuel Doe who was a manager in the Telecom company which was sometimes confusing as Samuel Doe was also the name of the Head of State. I lived in the Ducor Palace. Not there any longer.
I read the write up in the description box. I remember the stories about Gen Quainoo's role that day. Nicknamed "Buffalo Soldier" because of his "beefy" build, he is to this day ridiculed for having gone to take cover that day, rather than lead the weaker Gambian troops (who had just taken over from the Nigerian forces in a changing of the guard) to fight off Johnson's men. The footage of Doe's torture and killing was particularly harrowing, with Johnson presiding over the event "cooly" sipping a can of Budweiser whilst being fanned by a lady. Interesting to note that Charles Taylor is doing 50 years in a prison in County Durham, UK whilst Johnson, alive and well, is a member of the Liberian Senate. Life!
That is the irony of African situation. Everyone of them is supposed to be in Jail. How on earth would anyone of that era be allowed to be a law maker. Johnson is one of the brutal murderers and deserves to spend life in jail like Taylor.
anyone who thinks Quainoo took cover is naive. It was all planned by Nigeria's president and the rebels that the only way to end the war was that Doe had to be eliminated. Not even a single ECOMOG soldier was killed on the day Prince Johnson abducted Doe but all Doe's soldiers, nearly 100 people where killed. IT WAS ALL PLANNED TO DELIVER DOE TO HIS ENEMIES. Doe was not a smart man , if he was he would have insisted that the meeting take place in his town
Who told you that the Gambian were weak? You must be out of your rabbit mind, the best men that were fighting in Liberia on both rebels side and the ecomog were Gambians.

I actually enjoyed this video. I want to ask for permission to use this video and add some commentary to it... I don't know if this is appropriate way to ask for this but kindly let me know how I can get the permission Thanks ❤❤
That's being a tad bit under-analytical don't you think? I mean, you obviously missing out on a huge part a our history if you think, SKD IS TO BLAME FOR LIBERIA'S PROBLEMS... #CARRYONSIR
Thanks Mr. Emmanuel Bowier. But the reason didn't understand him is because he was controlled by Wallstreet (stock market) as the object of BET (as also in black entertainment tv). Even that poor white judge, James Henry Pearson (who was suffering in Liberia there) said the same thing. Never listened! The theory of disobedience is what wallstreet implement in our homes and families. That's the most reason children don't listen even to their parents. Can't talk tell judgment day, it's for nothing. Note my case in Columbus Ohio. Failing to understand somethings don't have to be experience, and is why we parents or concerns seek to give advices, guardians and other necessary help ➡️. The point there and after is simply, somethings people do their selves (regardless freedom) equally suffers others. God bless Liberia 🇱🇷
Mr. Bowier had a good memory so he used that to narrate the story he saw and that which was told by people he sit with doing his youth age . Although all is not true but we hold on to it ...we lost most of what he knew because it was not written ....
Sorry folk ,I meant will despots &allies ever learn? Power is transient & belongs to the people. Doe's tragedy end was predictable given the shrinking options. Forward ever Liberia.
I'm sure your not educated too, because true knowledge has nothing to do with how you speak or class rooms nonsense,but how much information you contain in your mind.
Samuel Doe die because he was so greedy for power, when you put a poor man in power, he will never allow another to take over.
That's what western media made you understand
Any African true leader is black mail to his own family
Thank you for sharing this piece of Liberian history!
In conclusion, Doe was absolutely ignorant and delusional 🤷♂️🤷♂️
This man was very intelligent, knowledgeable, and articulate! He hands down was a national treasure! Such a highly riveting video!
This is the only man i can understand what he says ,very clear English and knows how to tell the story,RIP Bowie
Samuel Doe was warned & didn't listen. They even said the enemies were at his doorstep, according to the code, just for him to be betrayed.

May he Rest In Peace
What happened to him?
@@vincentsebina7182 He went to join his ancestors on 27th June this year (2021) at the age of 71.May he rest in eternal peace.
Wow! Great insight into the Doe saga, especially his demise! Never knew this before. Thanks for the information.

The funny thing is that Doe didn't leave when given the opportunity, but Taylor did.😂😂😂
Taylor did? He killed over a 100k people before they captured and put him on trial. It's where he will remain.
that's why taylor is still alive
With all that this man is saying. He was one of the betrayer that set up the game in his own smart ways while acting like he was playing on Doe, side.
DOE WAS A MONSTER HE HAD TO GO
This is the most captivating narrative on the fall of Samuel Doe I have ever heard. The gentleman, whoever he is, is quite articulate and eloquent.
Great Historian, always like to listen to him
Nothing said here could justify the torture they put samuel doe through for 12 hours, before killing him
What would you suggest be done to a man who buried about 300 babies alive and committed genocide of an entire ethnic group plus more?
You were there? And saw it with your own eyes?

Doe was power drunk ,and brought his own demise,but Doe was betrayed ,.and sold out to Prince Johnson. 10 years later #voodoo #juju of Doe expired.
This testimony is an international history tressure. He narrated well.
well said minister bowier. but my only regrett is that you didn't leave a book with the so much knowledge you had on Liberia. RIP
wow! he is dead?
Oh my gosh, rest in peace.
It's evident and clear that Doe was naive and trapped
Wow! I enjoyed this video. This was Emmanuel Gbuyah, right the former information minister, right?
Yes!!!
I love this man boldness, and the way he narrates things. Who is he?
Emmanuel Bowie, who was a former minister in Doe's government.
No tears for Master Sergeant S.K Doe. However, it is clear that there was a sell‐out.
Doe Was Also Stubborn, In consequence He Paid the Highest Price!
Liberia 🇱🇷 country should be thanking Nigeria 🇳🇬
Librarian should thanking Nigeria for what ??
@MargaretSolangeNyemah Nigeria help stopped the war in Liberia after Doe and native people have destroyed Liberia 🇱🇷
Wish this was longer....
I actually enjoyed this video. I want to ask for permission to use this video and add some commentary to it... I don't know if this is appropriate way to ask for this but kindly let me know how I can get the permission
Thanks ❤❤
All the men were scared to face Doe. They knew that the man, Doe was a killer
Thank you.
This history is superb, though short RIP Bowier.
Thanks 🫂🫂 God for you papa
Where is the rest of this
He lowkey looks like Patrice Evra
Where is the continuation of this story
Wow! What a story!!
That's how fools die. Doe indeed was foolish. He brought all this shit to us today
When you lived by the sword you shall die by sword
That's being a tad bit under-analytical don't you think? I mean, you obviously missing out on a huge part a our history if you think, SKD IS TO BLAME FOR LIBERIA'S PROBLEMS... #CARRYONSIR
@@dannydorleh250 agreed
Greed led to his downfall, he should have listened to these guys and flee, cusz when things fall apart, the central can not hold!
Story telling ,this guy embellished most of theses chat
Where is the whole thing plz??
Check on TH-cam-Emmanuel Bowier trc part 6. You will find his entire narration. Very interesting and informative
Surely said the truth about Samuel Doe
They always lie about the amount of comments on videos of Liberia, always.
Thanks Mr. Emmanuel Bowier.
But the reason didn't understand him is because he was controlled by Wallstreet (stock market) as the object of BET (as also in black entertainment tv).
Even that poor white judge, James Henry Pearson (who was suffering in Liberia there) said the same thing.
Never listened!
The theory of disobedience is what wallstreet implement in our homes and families. That's the most reason children don't listen even to their parents.
Can't talk tell judgment day, it's for nothing.
Note my case in Columbus Ohio.
Failing to understand somethings don't have to be experience, and is why we parents or concerns seek to give advices, guardians and other necessary help ➡️.
The point there and after is simply, somethings people do their selves (regardless freedom) equally suffers others.
God bless Liberia 🇱🇷
Short and enjoyable
Where is the part two of this
First hand information, we need more of those documentary.
Danm dope in the presidential mansion, wow
President Doe and his entire administration, policies and procedures should be studied
I lived in 1986 with Major Sam Coolie one of the security officers of Samuel Doe.
Who is this guy?
Now who will help put Nigeria together?
We all need peaceful disintegration.
USND South South Nation I stand
Talking rubbish all through!
Paper TIGER!
How wish we can see the vedio of samual doe captured.i s he along with out security officers.
What an interesting narration
WOW!
Nice 👍
That Ecomog general has eat too much fufu and can't even art like a soldier
Thank you!

Sad recollection of what during "dark age" of Liberia. The healing continues... but will despots & their learn ? God bless Liberia!
Sorry folk ,I meant will despots &allies ever learn? Power is transient & belongs to the people. Doe's tragedy end was predictable given the shrinking options. Forward ever Liberia.
@@theophilusedokpayi-ww6ui facts
I really love this
well at the end if you killed him why mutilating the corpse ,
Great decision
Admission that Charles Taylor executed a superior public relations machine than the one he , Bowier, headed for Doe.
Bowier was almost like s toothless bulldog. Doe was actually dealing with others who were just lying to him
That ECOWAS thing?
JJ Rawlings hands full of blood Sankara,doe & many other
Wow interesting
He has great common sense
Assassinated by his right hand man

Dah
this man is not educated
I'm sure your not educated too, because true knowledge has nothing to do with how you speak or class rooms nonsense,but how much information you contain in your mind.
Americans had instructed Ecomog generals to play ignorant when Doe visited while they actually knew Doe would be killed by rebel forces.
Thank you.
