  • According to chapter VI, article 52 of the Liberian constitution, in order to become a president for Liberia, I must be “a natural born Liberian citizen of not less than 35 years of age,” possess property in value of at least twenty five thousand dollars and a resident in Liberia for at least ten years before election.

    Ok, so far so good! Let assume that I am now a naturalized citizen of another country, should I still run for president in Liberia? Why or why not? Go to http://www.libmyturn.com and post your answers or state your positions.

    Hint: My parents and I are, “natural born” citizens of Liberia. Key words: Bias, allegiant, honesty, etc.

      No Shadrack I don’t think you could or should run for a president seat in Liberia cause I’m sure that once you become a citizen of another country you have to give up your rights to a citizenship for the country you was born in and we all should know by now that Liberia does not accept dual citizenship.For example if you become a naturalize citizen of America you’re no longer a citizen of Liberia that’s why you have to get a visa before entering the country.

      • Ok, Nalon, how about the part of the constitution that says,”…be a natural born Liberian citizen” ? My parents and I were all born in Liberia. Where specifically is the phrase, “dual citizenship” used in the Liberian constitution?

        Thanks for your previous response but I am hungry for more answers.

    This is a question to all Liberians. What do you believe makes someone a Liberian? Is someone born in Liberia any more “Liberian” than someone born in the U.S. to Liberian parents? This is a question many school aged children have. Many young africans are confused African identity; they believe that you have to be born in an African country to be considered African. What do you think? Isn’t having african blood running through your veins enough? Why are children confused and should they be?

      Liberians/Africans that believe that you have to be born in Africa to be considered African; are disgrace to the African nation. In some cases, the parents are to blame, they don’t speak or teach their children their native language; in general how often do you hear Liberians speaking in their native tongue? Perhaps they are not proud of who they are…i love my country and I’m very proud of who i am, LIB all the way. Hope that helps Ashanti.

      The answer to this question is very sample. When you are born America to Liberian parents you are consider an Liberian American. So yes you are liberian and you could so claim if you want.

      I was born in Atlanta Georgia; and both my Mom/Dad are Liberian, but according to the Liberian constitution I’m not a Liberian citizen, merely because Liberia does not accept dual citizenship; don’t get me wrong….

      Okon i’ll have to agree with some of your statement but not all.

    • Dear Okon,
      In order to clearly answer your question, I will recommend that you read the Liberian constitution.

      In the main time, here is a quick answer for you. According to Chapter IV article 28 of the Liberian constitution, if one of your parents is a Liberian citizen at the time of your birth, you are a Liberian citizen. However, you be required to renounce your citizenship of any other nation when you become an adult if you still desire to maintain your Liberian citizenship.

      Thanks,
      Shadrack, LibMyturn.com

      Ashanti,
      I believe parents are to blame in most instances. How many Asians friends do you that don’t know how to speak their native language? It is unfortunate that we want our children to be “civilized” but not making them learn our roots. We need to be proud of our roots and culture. Tokpah you’re right if you’re born in another country you’re technically not a Liberian citizen when you reach “maturity”. But that does not deny you the right to obtain your Liberian citizenship if you wish. Hopefully the Liberian government can change this so we all can contribute to our country and not be considered foreigners.

  • Hi Mr.Moor
    I think you will have to be more specific about the accomplishment.

    What has Ellen Johnson Sirleaf accomplished in (Liberia) since she got elected as Africa’s first female president?

      Mr. Moor, without bias Ellen Johnson has accomplished a lot thus far. she has weakness that I personally believe she can improve on. But in terms of what she has done, Liberia is very stable now, the University of Liberia Fendell campus is almost complete, roads are being built or redone. There are numerous market stalls built, pump water is acessible in some part of the country, a 100 room hospital is almost complete in Nimba etc. I believe her weakest point is corruption, why she can’t slow it is a question we all struggle to answer.
      thanks
