The Rise of GEORGE WEAH: From Soccer Star to PRESIDENT of LIBERIA

- George Weah’s life has seen him move from a childhood in the slums of the capital of Liberia, Monrovia, to Europe's most famous football clubs and now President of Liberia.
Weah's soccer exploits, and his charitable work off the field made him a hero to a country divided by tribe, politics and a brutal civil war… At some point his charitable work even put him on a collision course with the Warlord and former Liberian President Charles Taylor to such an extent that Weah feared for his life.
In this episode of African Biographics, we look at the interesting life story of the man known as "King George" to his supporters.

Hi all, don't forget to like and share the video if you enjoyed it 😀
This video is hugely under-researched and tends to present a one dimensional view of Weah, his so-called humanitarianism and the Liberian political environment. Primarily, I acknowledge that Weah as a footballer brought great pride and joy to Liberia and would forever be appreciated for achieving such unprecedented sporting feats. However, as a statesman, he's a complete disgrace and violation of the sacrosanctity of the Liberian presidency. To say the least, he's an incompetent, unserious, corrupt, irresponsible, perverse and gullible individual whose leadership has practically dragged Liberia down the gloomy paths of decadence, violence, poverty, destitution, illiteracy, division and anarchy. Today, Weah and his cohort of ill-informed, belly-driven disappointment of a cabinet continue to pilfer state resources and market their ignorance, thus bringing unending embarrassment to the country. From countless and evident state-sponsored looting which has led to an economic catastrophe to the miserable reality of creating a nearly ungovernable state where violence and ignorance stand tall, George Weah is an anti-thesis of everything a determined and good leader represents . In fact, he's seemingly a doom to Liberia's future, a strooge of the devious political class and an eternal regret to the Liberian electorate who irrationally entrusted him (in all of his glaring unpreparedness) with the highest duty of the land.
Nice video ❤️
Do you know his father ?
This information isn’t clear
George weah pregnacy was disown by a man who isn’t mechanic
From a Soccer super star to a corrupt president
It is good to hear a story about someone who came to power peacefully, and remained that way.
For sure it's refreshing
Yeah I was stunned that it was poor even before the coups and wars. I did some nice pic from old days but looks like it was mostly American Liberians that had money at the time.
Good but what is the life of the average Joe blog in Liberia
Of course
This man is Blessed. From winning so many trophies to exceeding to the presidency
I lived close to Weah grandmother’s house in Clara Town. I knew George and his grandmother. Happy to see how his career has blossomed.
Which areas were you living?
I've spent the weekend watching most of the videos on your channel. They are very well done, especially your narration. Thanks for teaching me about Africa and its leaders.
You are welcome 😀
George is a KING to me in foot ball and in politics he is a GREAT MAN JAMAICA 🇯🇲LOVE
God bless George I am from Jamaica a Proud African God bless my mother Land
I’m a Liberian, this biography of King Weah great for everyone in world that wants to give up on life, that there’s nothing impossible for God’s blessings. Indeed, this man is truly bless by God. He’s doing his best as a president for our country Liberia. Despite of all the major & difficult issues the country is face with after our 14yrs of civil war.
Ten of him Would have Changed the future of AFRICAN youngsters
Am from Kenya and I like George how is is his rating
Interesting life story.
Liberia has been through so much. I want things to improve for everyone there.
This biography about George weah is very much excited in the way, it can make you to keep believing in yourself in life. I called it dreams big and don't stop moving forward in this world, God have plans for everyone's.
I Remember playing football with Mr President George Weah in Egypt in 1996 (Liberia Vs Egypt) I was a student that time. He is truly a good Man! (Issa Bello)
I love the way Liberians respect their president love from Ghana
This is why nobody can harm him. He had a very tough life too. Let him have fun manh .
I am still thinking on how you got the full story of our president. Thanks for the story. No lies found in your story
Respect the journey... respect Arsene Wenger ...what a contribution...George is a true hero of Africa
He is the nicest human
being with the greatest heart
We love him and he will be successful in everything he does HAILE THE KING IN HIS KINGDOM
What a good biography of President George Weah.
Liberia is so fascinating to me.
Good
My brother God will bless you for ever good thing you did from your young age
I'm from Liberia 🇱🇷
And President Weah is doing great works
False !
This is a great video and being a fan of soccer makes it a even greater video! Believe African child it’s all possible! George Weah son is currently playing for Lille in Ligue 1 and also plays for the US Mens national team as a forward!
I'm so proud of my president he is doing well in the country much love George mannah weah 😘😘😘
The pictures in this video depict an impoverished nation,I pray things turn around for Liberia.I commend George for pitting his foot forward to lead and serve his nation.
The elites of Liberia are yet to embrace him but, Pres. Weah continue to make great progress in Liberia.
Your information is very accurate 👌 George Weah as an individual is a very nice person, but some of his officials in government got things messed up for him. The current state of the economy is very bad, unemployment rate has increased significantly,
A man from a humble height to the highest office in his country.
This channel is so special.. I hope whoever is behind it makes millions and never have to do anything in their lives but produce content for this channel.
What a man👌🏾❤️
I have tromendous respect for you President George Opong Weah by Steve Irungu Jermaine
What God say you will be, no body can change it. So keep lifting ur head high. Good story.
Thanks for your well explained and narrated videos. They are very informative.
Waoh, waoh . Inspiring
A sad irony that Liberia is Africa's oldest republic (having just celebrated 200 years as a nation), yet is one of the poorest in the world.
Wars ruined my country. Wars is not good.🇱🇷🇺🇸
Same to haiti
So after all the history and good deed explained here only negative things you had to say?
What good have you done for your family?
Nome is evil and acceptance is what we Africans seem to undoubtedly origin open accept , this chapter is always recycled in every African corner its so hurtful its our people that are still and still continues to decrement African, Congo, Burkina Faso, Zambia South Africa, Libya Sudan, how dare you auction your godly given resources at benefit a very small number of Africans rather than bring and help everyone regardless of statue , till then it's when African will command rightful position , 10 Congolese human have been killed since they independence, no respect all I'll feels how jews where killed by nazi 50k but yet they a recognized year in year out but yet very little is heard the or said 10milion Congolese . 55billion can move wheel it Won't heal and solve lasting damage issues that bare, Ownerships is in hand of non Africans, we change the direction for Africans but has start Pronto , African to bone 🙌🏿🇿🇲
They're a bunch of animals only thinking about weapons and war... Between brothers!! And the world simply didn't care...
Live and let die

Goat of Africa 🌍
The man of my kind as president is doing very well for the people of Liberia. Many, many uncountable developments ,such as Road building ,electricity to all, free education , scholarships, hospitals, n building Peace among Liberians ,are some of the services that He President Weah is doing or has done, I want the Liberian people to give him another 6 years mandate so that he will do all his unfinished projects that he began since 2019. President George M. Weah he is the leader of the youthful generation. May God accept his wishes to lead Liberia to prosperity n permanent peace in Jesus might name - amen ! ! !
He real name is George Oppong Weah. Partly Ghanaian.
Oppong is a Ghanaian name. Love u Mr President. Ghanaians love u for your dedication to Liberia.
learnt his roots can be traced back in West Africa, Ghana,Ashanti Region, Offinso North and Akumadan to be precise 🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭,

He is a great a great man and a good president
He is really an awesome leader
No he’s not
Thanks be to God Almighty, people forget to know that God is the Maker and finisher of our faith! Never under estimate anybody...
Proud of the presdent
His life story is interesting and somewhat improved my opinion about him as a person. But I still think, he is not a good president and you are too much celebrating him for the background and not actions. You did not mention the amazing success of Johnson Sirleaf, who brought peace to Liberia after the civil wars, rehabilitated child soldiers, stepped down peacefully after 2 terms and handled the civil war in neighbouring Ivory Coast (influx of refugees) and ebola epidemics. She trully deserves both her Nobel peace prize and Ibrahim prize. And he disputed her win in 2005 election and only bowed down to the pressure of other leaders, while in 2014 his presidential campaign was supported by former warlords and even Charles Taylor took his part himself from the prison - just to get rid of Sirleaf´s regime and collaborators and with a hope, that Weah will be easily manipulated. He is probably a good guy, but not really smart or effective and has too much self-confidence and conflicts with the previous peaceful regime. Liberia is economically collapsing :(
I tried to find an information about his education on the internet. He dropped out of high school. Did he go back to school to finish high school? I can’t find anything about him going to college for his bachelor degrees. Did he earn a master degree from Dewy online???
Our president is doing great in this country, he is the best amongst the rest
Long live president George weah aka Mr. Peace
Hi is best President of Liberia his bless from God so all Liberian have to respect
I wish him, the family long life prosperity and peace to continue to rule the country. With God all things are possible.
No he’s not
Long live President George!
A significant part of this account wouldn't be out of place on the TH-cam channel called a "Daily dose of football".
Nice video.
Thanks Luke
It is only African political ideology that is left hindered with a few nations that the authority to rule must be confined to those revolutionaries with Maoist thinking.Mr Weah George is a good example of what it takes to shift
Have faith in God for the fulfilment of your divine destiny.
🙏🏾💎🙏🏾💎🙏🏾🕊️
Liberians tell us how weah has done to the Nation
Best wishes George.
He’s very successful
You missed the part where he enrolled in college to get his degree in the USA...........or so I heard🤨
❤
He is wouderfull God Bless He to day He die love He from my soul God bless mnsonh Benito😂
I learnt his roots can be traced back in West Africa, Ghana,Ashanti Region, Offinso North and Akumadan to be precise 🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭,
Please how true is that?
AS HE EVEN SHARE AN ASHANTI NAME "OPPONG"
Tatenda are u Zimbabwean
LIBERIA needs a proper flag
No one ask for your opinion
Why? The flag is the least of Liberia’s problem now . The country is in urgent needs of development. Not only that, but every basic needs for it’s population.
✨️🌟✨️
But how can his son play for USA instead I expect him to promote his country in sports so that his son can play for his country...... am not getting any point in this ...
My role model is Imran Khan a former Prime Minister of Pakistan and lastly former Cricket captain by Steve Irungu Jermaine
Firstly wasn't the first heavy duty mechanic in Liberia. There were a lot of them in Liberia. Also to answer your last question, George Weah have failed miserably as a politician. That decision has tarnished his squeaky clean image as an athlete and soccer icon.
The only failed person I see here is you, cause since your birth you haven't done anything that benefits your family or Liberia.
Si true
He is from a humble beginnings like many other leaders. The word slum don’t have to be used in your narrative. Saying Poor neighborhood is quite okay. Impoverished upbringing is okay as well.
Who do that ???? Only in my Mother Land The Only Land Blessed by The Creator at First .
Aweeeeeee
From a Soccer super star to a corrupt president!!
Exactly
Now his son play for USA in FIFA World Cup in Qatar.
All love doors around him I the problem for him
Is that not President Joe Biden in the picture wearing UNICEF shirt
We’re suffering in Liberia
I wish you all the best. Luck and success for you and your family ❤️
Love from South Africa.. God will see you through my brothers and sisters🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
George Weah has sent Liberia back decades! he was a great soccer player but he does not have the intellect to run a country. Liberia has become more unsafe, has less access to food, and is becoming even more poor than it already was.
You who have the intellect to judge someone whether they have or not.... we've seen what you've done for Liberia.
You called yourself a farmer but no one have eaten your products except your family 🤣
So true. It’s very sad, the situation in Liberia.
Som of us just hope to get out of this country for me I som 1 who don't see
🏨🏥🏨🏥🏨🏥🏨🏥
He's a sad man, very sad😔
Sadio Mane , will also rule Senegal
eusebio from Mozambique has won the balon dor
Mas ele se naturalizou pra Portugal então ele foi eleito por ser português
He was a Portuguese international
Did Eusebio wore Mozambique colors? No
@@pcamara883 he played for Portugal as an international. George Weah’s son is a US international if he won the Balon Dor that won’t have nothing to with Liberia because he didn’t represent Liberia.
@@pcamara883 He was born and raised there for 18 years
I think weah is kinda in the middle he’s not the greatest but he’s also not the worst being liberian we seen allot of leaders who had good intentions but just turned evil which i think his excellency has broken for now
