While I don't admire the politics of Charles Taylor as it evokes memory of war, killing, displaced refugees, hunger etc, I however condemned successive government for abandoning the mansion to ruins. It could have been preserved and put to public use like library, museum, health clinic, or government lodge. If it were in Europe and America where Africans like to go and pay to see the Roman empire sites and relics it would have been different. I saw the holiday mansion of Osageyfo Kwame Nkuruma left to ruins in Ghana. The same with Kamuzu Banda's house, Idi Amin etc. You don't need to love them as history already have taken note of their rulership but monuments like these could be used to benefit the living materially and learning purposes. Greetings from 🇳🇬

Life is vanity, we came with nothing and we shall all return with nothing. Live your life for God and try to leave good name behind

The circle will continue to repeat until Liberian leaders learn to lead without bloody hands. When you lead with the Almighty God in your heart and your actions you will reap the good things you sowed. Trust in God and not the demons of Solomon.

I am from Zimbabwe thank you for such doccies I never knew the Liberian history keep up the good work we are learning

I am from USA 🇺🇸 and I always have interest in visit Liberia 🇱🇷. Those past leaders run that beautiful country backwards.

This should serve as lesson for president Weah and others. After power what becomes of all those properties?

The most baffling thing for me is the state of the roads leading to these mansions … 🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️

This is becoming a serious problem for Liberia. Former President, Tolbert, Doe, And Taylor's houses are abandoned, and in deplorable conditions. If care is not taken, the future President will suffer the same fit. The government should renovate those houses and give them to their family or turn it into a Libary for the public. Something must be done, regardless.

It just shows ...We all end up in the dust. We have so much to learn from this. 🙏

This should be a lesson to all leaders about how to invest your money, especially president must build a house that your family or children can afford renovating.

Would be nice to show a picture of what the house looked like before

These building could be renovated for public use. They could be offered for guesthouses. But again, those are private properties well beyond government’s authority. But a way could be found around that, if the family cannot afford those properties.

Thanks Mr. korto but it was going to be more interesting when you find someone who know much about the house before and now to do the real explanation

Nothing is permanent in this world 🌎 💔

All is vanity With love from Kenya

Why can’t these places be use for tourists exhibitions? The community and the country as a whole looses a lot when these properties are looted. They wonder why the country lingers in unemployment and others poverty stricken scenarios. Keeping such places intact, could becomes an opportunity for jobs creation or some sort. We shots ourselves in the foot, and complain of not being able to walk.

This is a recurring theme in Liberia. Our presidents often leaves an legacy of bad governance and depleted properties that their own families are unable to fixed

I wish Nigerian leaders can watch and learn that nothing is constant

it's crazy how most of the former liberian president house are in this condition so all the wealth they accumulated none of their family or relatives can renovate these properties 😢

The lesson really is that ill-gotten gains take wings. 2. When you're in power , serve for good NOT evil. = good governance is important lest you leave in shame.😮

All these former houses and other historical buildings etc, should be preserved as a part of the history and will attract tourism, driving money into the local economy of these areas..

This is my home town Arthington I LOVE IT SO MUCH PLEASE VISIT THE BRACEWELL AVENUE WHOA AM SO HAPPY

You should have gotten someone to explain about the house. Thank you for the video.

1 he could not tared the road meaning he was shamelessly driving through waterlogged , pothole , darkness filled road etc to his house 2, his life in the vicinity was that of an oppressor who had no good relationship with his neighbour 3, the locality only heard of him without any physical gain from his régime 4, there was no legacy left behind to continue his ideology 5, his belief in isolated life lives on as a force around his properties 6, he never honored any of his predissessors, hence the law of karma has visited his prperties after death 7, in all vanity upon vanity?

Oooh! My dear and poor Liberia. Sorrow TEARS and BLOOD 🙏🙏🙏 GOD BLESS LIBERIANS ❤🙏❤️😍

Emmanuel you should have shown us the original building

Nothing guarantee anyone's an internal life,we are just passing back.we need to expect it in life

I also saw the ruins of homes once owned by Doe and Mobutu. When will they learn?

my opinion this house should be preserved as moesium to be acase study for tyrannical Leandership

Life is indeed vanity!!!

Thanks for showing this historical Arthington we learned about because of Former President and War lord Taylor. Please show his farm in Bong County and his home in Congo Town. Whenever you visit Grand Greded County please share Former president Doe home in Zwedu. Wish you all the luck. It was nice watching your videos.

Can't help but wonder how many millions were spent to raise such a huge mansion. Its sad to see the sorry state it has been left in. Oddly enough, most past mansions of ex presidents of Liberia seem to just be abandoned... #Kenyan 🇰🇪...

President Museveni Rwakitula house will be like this in a few years to come.

Wow where are the children of our former leaders all their parents properties are destroying so sad

How is it that abandoned houses in Liberia end up as a shell with no roof, front door or anything? Houses can stay abandoned 50 years where I live and still be a secure house where you can move back in.

I like your KZfaq channel because you always uploading new videos, not updating old videos

You’ll think it was still 1869 from the looks of things.

The African tv stations ought to show these episodes more often to help deter anarchy which continues being perpetrated by new regimes so as to help them understand power is temporary !

Wonderful job Mr. Raw

This is what happens if you're anticipating on getting your to power through waging wars on the same people you wants to lead. This is a beautiful house but has been looted by people. This Life ain't promise tomorrow.

Sound is very poor..

Thanks you so much for this remarkable video about the ex president of Liberia (Mr. Charles Taylor) house got looted by people❤❤❤

good content you must improve your voice by adding another microphone that you can hold or clip it on your shirt we struggle to hear you

When you build a house in the middle of a bush,it will have no economic value and this is just an example of the end result.

Let God be with Mr. Taylor, Long life papa, we stay waiting for your return, by God's grace.

Bishop Tolbert was a great man, his family, his nation deserve better!

The background music is sweet.....thanks

Thanks. Most of their children destinies were caged or locked, hence not been Economically empowered to add value to family's properties.

It's about time we start we refrain from destroying historic assess and interlectual properties and try to preserve some of these assess for tourism, or heritage Park or sites that could generate funds,

I love your video bro please keep it coming

Why you guys not using all this property for other things instead to leave it to destroy this ways.

Wow! This is what happens when there is no llegacy.

., but why can't it be renovated to be lived it or fir tourist attraction

What is the title of the beautiful background music attached to this video?

Why you don't show your presentation in a certain way that we know how it was and what became. some photos. Many youtubers are not from Liberia. and your presentation of opening your adventure is so loud but your presentation site is so low. Don't'you have a plug in Microphone. I watch the African Tigress and he Sound is awesome. It gives a vibe to watch more the videos as one can hear well. The camera man is learning and it is better on this vlog. Thank you. Before i decided to subscribe to a chanel i look for a relaxing understanding Vlog. I don't know if you are learning as well to improve.If so accept my appologies.

Please take note that during their tenure they did good and bad,like any other president. So for history sake n remembrance these infrastructure should be kept safely for the contribution of what transpired ages and this benefits the majority

So, so true! Life is vanity. Amen ooo 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽.

I'll buy it and re-build it!

I think this is Arthington. Cuz his kids lives at cogotown home. I'm friends with one of his daughters. We grew up in America together. A really good people to be around

It's a good lesson to our coming preso be care ful mambo ubadilika my friends

Why do our two formal presidents properties lie in ruins like that? Don't they have any surviving family members to own them? Or those counties they are in can't ask the government to furnish them for county use?

Should be turned into a Civil War Memorial Museum.

Vanity upon vanity,all is vanity. I just pray many present day leaders learn from this.

You guys doing great job.

Thank you so much

Liberian president couldn't build road leading to his house

Government should take over the abandoned property and make use of it as regional offices.

Can you please tour white flower so can see what going on there too 🙏🙏

Show us Mobutu's mansion too😢

Why are those properties badly destroy?

Over two and a half minutes of nothing but annoying music negated the value of the information shared in your documentary.

It would have been nice, if we could have seen a picture of the house in his hey days to compare it too!🤔

Those people Bragging with big houses ,soon all of us will be ghost ,watching our mansions like this 😂😂😂😂

Even people in Liberia 🇱🇷 are not watching this to learn 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

The voice of the commentator is not clear , am unable to understand what he's talking about the house

1] The words of the Preacher, the son of David, king in Jerusalem. [2] Vanity of vanities, saith the Preacher, vanity of vanities; all is vanity. [3] What profit hath a man of all his labour which he taketh under the sun? [4] One generation passeth away, and another generation cometh: but the earth abideth for ever. [5] The sun also ariseth, and the sun goeth down, and hasteth to his place where he arose. [6] The wind goeth toward the south, and turneth about unto the north; it whirleth about continually, and the wind returneth again according to his circuits. [7] All the rivers run into the sea; yet the sea is not full; unto the place from whence the rivers come, thither they return again. [8] All things are full of labour; man cannot utter it: the eye is not satisfied with seeing, nor the ear filled with hearing. [9] The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun. [10] Is there any thing whereof it may be said, See, this is new? it hath been already of old time, which was before us. [11] There is no remembrance of former things; neither shall there be any remembrance of things that are to come with those that shall come after. [12] I the Preacher was king over Israel in Jerusalem. [13] And I gave my heart to seek and search out by wisdom concerning all things that are done under heaven: this sore travail hath God given to the sons of man to be exercised therewith. [14] I have seen all the works that are done under the sun; and, behold, all is vanity and vexation of spirit. [15] That which is crooked cannot be made straight: and that which is wanting cannot be numbered. Ecclesiastes 12:1-15 It is a significant shame that our African leaders and politicians accumulates wealth that they cannot enjoy it.

Once again, a very sad story, just like Doe's mansion. The government cannot turn the building into a public library?

I have reservation about this video as relates to the authenticity of its contents because i am not sure that the property this gentleman is referring to in this video was developed by Taylor. He will need to do his research regarding the timeline of Taylor's residency in Liberia and the year he constructed this home.

Vanity upon vanity, all is vanity

Most of this buildings are haunted and lots of evil was done in such buildings , example is Kwame Nkrumah’s old house in Ghana , so they’re better left alone and most of family members prefer living elsewhere peacefully than to renovate such houses with so much history

Great work bro

Can you pls do one of this for his home @Congo town?

FOR WHAT SHALL IT PROFIT A MAN IF HE GAINS THE WORLD AND LOSS HIS SOUL?COME TO JESUS NOW AND BE SAVED.

This shows we don't want war on our land again.

It is humble house for president

This is what happened to evil murderers and dictators. Taylor will never ever see the light of day in the free world till his death behind bars. His son (chuckie ) will also die in the cage for his crimes as humanity. Everything on earth is worthless so I don't understand why some collectively murder others because of the greed for power, influence and cash. Jesus Christ is God and shall forever remain so 🙏 🙏

GREETINGS FROM UGANDA SO EVERY FORMER PRESIDENT IN LIBERIA HAS AN ABANDONED HOME! THIS IS TERRIBLE

What a waste why don’t the government either turn into a museum , a school are a clinic ! It’s so sad to watch such a strong structure just rotting down ! Hmm 🤔

GREAT JOB.

How they come to power and leave,by killing innocent peoples.

I am not sure what Mr. Kortu's intention is about by posting the burnt home of Charles Taylor. It does not fit for public consumption because of the following: a) no explanation or narrative during the display process, no county/ies is listed showing viewers that the home is location in Montserrado or Grand Kru, b) This home is not important to Liberians, international community, and the public in general; and, c) you do not show the Before and After pictures the destroyed house, etc .

Why do we always assume we are immortal in this world?

Life is by challenge

Not a bad house if it got remodeled

I wanna come and renovate it.

Vanity upon vanity is Life

Keep up the great work Emman. Please send me the title of the theme song.

All is vanity after all

The music... wow, what the title?😊

No house beats the one built by Mobutu Ssese Seko in Gbadolite. I mean....jeez.
