The First Lady of the United States of America Laura Bush has urged the youth of Liberia to acquire education which she described as the bedrock of a successful nation.
Right, all the good intentions for education., we know this ...like in the past. Then, after 25 years , when the Indigenous Elite has increased in size, it is the time for a NEW Civil War to get rid of it. The History proved that in no way the Americo -Liberian Elite is willing to share the power... only by some miracle of God ...&&&

The first lady is absolute right that our success to better living in Liberia is education. I understand that young Liberians want to participate in politics, which is right; nevertheless, you must learn the basics of politics, which comes through education. I was born and raised in one of the best educational systems in Africa, which happens to be in Liberia, and I'm proud to tell people whereever I travel in the world.
My mother unfortunately did not earn a formal education, but she encouraged and beat the hell out of me to learn because she knew the value of education and how it would have benefited me. My success does not come from riches, but from the education that I've earned over the years. The Western world respects me for what I know not for who I am; therefore, I urge all yound Liberians at home and abroad to pay attention to their teachers and suspend politics until they understand the pros and cons of politics.
I said this to friends in 1983 at a party in Newark and I will say it again: "Liberain women need to seek some form of education to compete with their peers and Liberian men." Believe me or not, your success to the future is education. People tell me that I have an accent and they also say that I speak well. It all comes from what I learned in Liberia. Hopefully Ms. Bush statement will motivate our young people to divert their attention to education.
