The day of my arrival in Liberia, on our way from the airport, my sister took me to “Red Light”market to buy food for her to cook for me, she said there were no food at home @4p😂
how many of you have stayed in family houses instead of renting hotels during your visit back home? I spent like crazy staying with them!!
It was my first visit, so I made sure that every single family within the city range got gifts from me, even including the elderly women in my village.. Instead of thanking me, some were complaining that I did pick and chose with the presents 🎁
That was my first and last time taking gift for any family members!
The only people who cooked without me giving them money were my childhood godmother, my brother’s wife and my other big sis in the village.

We have all experienced this. My first time back, I was expecting a lil bit of love and welcome but instead I became Bill Gates. Spending money left and right… I soon you stop or let say the money finish you’re by yourself now😂😂😂. Thanks for the great advice….especially for those back home, pls change ur thoughts process about us when we return.

Next time when you travel tell them it is their responsibility to show you that hospitality because you are a "stranger" visiting them. That's how my grandparents treated us as kids who we used to visit the Sanoyea District, Bong county before the war. I visited Senegal in 2017 for six days. I experienced what Senegalese call Teranga. In the time I was there I turned away food many times.
@vmonnaj
@vmonnaj Год назад
Do you think they don’t know that we are strangers,after all those years we’ve been away, they know, but they just don’t care. Some of them no longer believe in hospitality. But they want us to cater to their basic needs still.

Hi I am from London, just saw your video and it is some how funny and I am laughing my head off, what all you have said is all true, this how majority of our family members behave, they are very selfish and unreasonable, always making demand, like they own everything you have, I am saying this because I experienced similar altitude from my family members too, I read many of the replys in the video and like the one that the person said they are far away from their family members, 😀😀 I will be doing the same thing, it make sense, we need to teach them how to be honest and trustworthy and for them, not to take us for granted, great video thanks for sharing 👍👍

I'm very proud of you, my dear. U improved in a short time, like myself, country boy. My older sister did similar thing to me as well. I sent her money to get our land deed from the city. She n her husband secretly took that money n bought their private land. Months after her older daughter, my niece called n tell me what her mom had wrongly used the amt I sent her. Since then, I just get sick of her.

Honesty is the best policy. Don't enable them. Tell them the truth. Focus on yourself and your family. Liberians and other Africans are growing food in Rhode Island at Urban Edge farm(on the Cranston/Johnston town line). If Liberians are growing food here in the U.S. Liberians can grow food there.

@@vmonnaj So I built my private residence about 3 minutes away from the airport. Guess what some of my friends and former classmates said…. They claimed that I built my residence in an unreachable location. Yes they said that. They are trying to say that I don’t have the right to choose where I should live. Where I live should meet their demands and approval. That’s how crazy people can be. When you make mistakes and live in close proximity, you will receive unannounced visitors as early as 6AM. And they will demand that you wake up from your sleep to attend to/give them transportations. My auntie and I are not on speaking terms for that reason. She came over on a Sunday morning at 6. I usually sleep up to 11-12 . My auntie demanded that I wake up. She kept sending the maid to tell me that she was around. I got pissed, went downstairs to meet with her. It was after 10am by then. My auntie started blasting that she has been waiting since 6am. So I said to her….. did I ask you to come to my house at 6am? Don’t you have anything to do at your house in the morning? Did you call to know what time was good to visit? Don’t you have a phone? I left and went back to my bedroom. 3 years ago no speaking. End of story. You na able them
