Liberia is such a beautiful country with very nice friendly people you would think. They would give you the shirt off their back and allow you to sleep on their bed while they sleep on the cement floor. But my people don't let all of that blind you to the fact that generally speaking Liberians are very rigid people and very corrupted starting from the top to the dip bottom.
If you decide to sue someone they don't care if you are justified as the victim or not. The one with the biggest bribe wins. Go to the post office to pick up a mail. The clerk who is salaried excepts you to pay her or him something extra just to get your mail. Everywhere you go be prepared to spent lots of money to get anything done.
Even at the bank, one has to watch their bank account daily to stop tellers and other bank workers from stealing from you.
So why is this very wealthy country so corrupt? With all of it's great resources, gold, diamonds, cocoa, iron ore, oil, rubber and soil that anything can grow in, why can't these people figure out how to use their resources without being so stupid and corrupted in everyday life? Why?
Do you know that even if you are being victimized and call the law enforcement office, you have to give them something to assist you? They have all kinds of terms for the corruption money. Like "what you bring for me?" or "things are rough today." Or they might say "the weekend is coming soon. Today is just Monday. It would take me lots of time to find what you are looking for" and on and on.
Everyone is a lawyer, doctor, teacher or even the country's leader. Funny? Think again. Corruption is very alive and well in Liberia. Trust, but be wise.
