It all happened on
November 7, 2009 in the city of Newark. It was a very cold
and gloomy night. It all began around
9:00 PM Eastern time. It was not the
best weather and time to expect people
to forsake their cozy, temperature-fit
havens and drive miles away under such
unfriendly atmospheric condition in the
darkness to be a part of history making.
, and institutions from all walks of
life. It ensured the presence and active
participation of household names in the
Liberian community; names that would
proffer you litmus card to pretest the
destiny – either success or failure – of
such a great institution, under the
watchful eyes of a very new, young,
energetic, and talented, and vigilant
stewardship . It was a unique event
highly noted for the free enterprise of
knowledge and proliferation of wisdom
from various speakers. Wait a minute!
Where were you?
You got it right! It was a
successful reality emanating from the tireless,
countless, priceless, and unmatched efforts of
very industrious, committed, diligent, and
super-serving men and women of this great city
and ever-forthcoming Mande Youth. Oh my
goodness! Delicious! It showcased some of the
most toothsome dishes ever. Almost forgot! It
was, indeed, the finest exhibit of unity in
diversity –handsome men and very charming women,
rich and poor, literate and illiterate, short
and tall, and young and old – all coming
together in one tone, with one common goal in
one direction. Did you miss history?
Unbelievable!
Second by second and minute
by minute the dark night transformed into a
bright and fantastic scene. Oh Yes! There was
glamour! African attire and culture was at its
best! There was bling bling! There was true
African B~U~T. Boy! Oh Boy! My mehh! It was the
right moment and best occasion for single men
looking to … What am I insinuating? Nothing
boss! Just want to say big up to all our happily
married couples! You feel me now?
The anxiety was high
through the roof. And all of a sudden, there was
this long line of people longing to enter the
hall. There was murmuring of people here and
there. “Na cheh, please give me $25.00. I will
pay you when we get back...” “Uncle, where is my
ticket?” “No! You just can’t cut the line like
that...” “Please give me two tickets…”And on the
other end, there was this loud, uncompromising,
and unmistaken public announcement: “No one is
an exception!” “Not even the officials!”
“Everyone must purchase a ticket!” “No cha rooh
riding tonight!” “This is a worthy endeavor that
we must support at all cost!” And immediately
after, people began checking their pockets and
purses to make sure they have the correct
amount. “Why are these guys acting so tough
tonight?” Someone lamented. And then what? Calm
down for a second! Am coming… Let’s continue
this story next week!
