Perfect example of history being written by the victors
One of the worst human beings to ever live is now getting a state funeral. What happens to sense of justice?
@babasaho5787 You are right. If the people voted him to be a senator, they can as well give a state burial
What an embarrassment for Liberia. Apparently all that still matters is tribal loyalty. Disgusting and shameful. 👎🏾👎🏾👎🏾
Thanks Good
State funeral for this criminal? Shameless country, no standards.
I'm a Liberia born after the civil war and I'm still shocked
@ asante c * I'm an elder of Liberia and Its very stupid of you to stereotype a Country as shameless and no standards without you having full knowledge of this event.
This broadcast clearly states there were other Liberians who felt differently.
Focus on the ills in your country smh.
You are right and all, but you have to remember that Africans are forgiving like that for whatever reason. Look at how Rwanda is getting on these days. People literally have to live next door to those who once hunted and butchered their entire families.
@@YxzyxzyxzHe was an evil man who would have continued if not for the troops and money of other powers, everyone in LIB would have been ☠️. LIB would fall on its face in one week without foreign support from ECOWAS, US, World Bank etc. 👎🏾👎🏾👎🏾
@@YxzyxzyxzThe man would have slaughtered all the country had it not been for ECOWAS and US warships approaching. Liberia owes great gratitude to the soldiers and money that brought the war to an end and has every right to comment on this embarrassing foolishness. 👎🏾
God will heal our Land and give us peace
🙏🙏
RIP 🕊️
R I Promise
❤
In Africa cruelty is not condemned and the brutal force is revered.Nothing to do about it,life is harsh there
Criminal been respect 😭😭😭
I hope that he repented from all the atrocious that he and his gang carried out on the Liberian people during the Liberian civil war in the 90s before dying?
0p😅
He completed the first 6 feet of his journey to Purgatory.
Rip
Thousands vote for Lil Roast in country TRUBERIA
Gone
Some people leave mark on history while Prez Boakai manage only Mess
Sad
Sad for the souls he murdered.
Sad day for Nimba. He will be missed.
@@RuDesigns God will punish him forever.
@@babasaho5787 I mean, that’s an opinion. He was literally fighting for the Gio people after generations of persecution. I don’t think you should speak on things you have no idea about.
@RuDesigns fighting for one tribe means being a mass murderer? Also you should not speak because you are not a victim of his violence.
@ Mass m.? Don’t buy everything you see on the internet. I bit you don’t remember when 500 innocent people where ki** lled in a Nimba church before the war started? Was that not “mass m…..”. People forget who the actual victims are so quickly. He was a great Gio man/leader and will be remembered as such.
he will never rest in peace
