Convinced That Soccer Is One Thing And Politics Another, Weah Admits, Crying 'I Can’t Do this Peace Thing all by Myself'; How Soon He Is Going To Start, Is What The Public Wants To Know

Weah says he cannot bring peace to Liberia all by himself

Football-legend-turned-politician George Weah has said that genuine peace in Liberia will remain an illusion if people expect him to single-handedly lead the charge in the country’s search for authentic peace and reconciliation.

“I cannot bring peace to Liberia all by myself. I cannot do it all by myself,” the leader of the opposition Congress for Democratic Change (CDC) re-emphasized, cautioning “actors of what happened to this country in the past” against sitting supinely, expecting that he would, by himself, bring peace and reconciliation to Liberia.

Ambassador Weah was addressing news-gatherers yesterday at the Roberts International Airport (RIA) where he had gone to receive the remains of his deceased mother. The former soccer star’s mother, Anna Moneh Quiwah died recently in Accra, Ghana. She was pronounced dead at the 37 Military Hospitals in Accra following a prolong battle with cancer. She was 64 and had been living in Ghana for the past 16 years

He Spared My Life; Mrs. Eupheme Weeks Turns 86; Gives Praises to God

Mrs. Weeks is thankful because God has spared her life

The widow of the first Liberian-born president of the University of Liberia, Dr. Rocheforte Lafayette Weeks, has given thanks and praises to God for sparing her life to witness and mark another birthday.

Mrs. Angelique Eupheme Geraldine Weeks turned 86 on February 6, 2013. But it couldn’t have been celebrated on that day because two of her daughters would not have been around for the event.

She told me in an exclusive interview Thursday that she is smiling, not because everything is perfect, but because God has shown His goodness and faithfulness to her in the midst of it all. She strongly believes that whatever might have happened to her was God's design for her life. She appreciates God for the gift of life, thanks her children, especially her two daughters: Angelique (Pheme) and Ophelia (Fifi), for their non-stop love and support and for praying for her.
