After seven months of being in Ghana and briefly in Liberia, I returned to NYC for a short visit. As I observe these and many more changes in the great city, my mind went back to the book of Ecclesiastes in the Bible, specifically chapter 1 verse 2-3: “Vanity of vanities, saith the preacher, vanity of vanities, all is vanity. In my nation Liberia, I am reminded of the farm in Totota- the farm was owned by the late President Tubman. Everyone in his inner circle bought a house or land in that community as it was the seat of power. Today, in our nation Liberia, many would do whatever it takes to gain wealth.
