life and its perks are not cheap in liberia today. infact, i think it's more expensive to live there than in the US or europe if you wanna keep to a certain standard.
gee whiz. |

| nothing wrong with building internet cafes to cater to people... am saying that the ordinary man wont be putting no internet service in his home...... he would quicker go pay L$50 to browse the net for 20 minutes........

Candy, from doing the research we have done, don't you think that money could have been put to better use....educate the kids first, built schools, pay the teachers....who will it benefit when most people in that area can't even read and/or write...what sence does that make, that just my opinon
I sware Liberia got her priorities all mix up.
