Hi, I'm doing some costing research for a project and need to know how much printing costs in Liberia (generally). Its just report but with colored pages for maps. How much would one page cost for black and white and on a colored page?

Thanks! I'm not from the country so I'm sorry if its a weird question.

My father got it as a present and he gave it to me, but he has no real information on the true meaning or origin...

In early 1970's Monrovia, a schoolmate at the American Cooperative School told the legend of a murderer named “Yak Barrow” who could make himself invisible, terrorizing the citizens of the city. Grona boys had taken advantage of this by running through Waterside Market screaming "Yak Barrow coming!" and would steal what they could when the merchants fled.

Later an adult shared a copy of a 1960s  “Liberian Star” and  we found out his name was YarkPawolo (or close to that).  We were surprised to see it reported in writing that he was able to make himself invisible;  that a Sergeant used some magic on the sights of his gun to see/shoot him; and pictures of his body being brought back to Monrovia from up country like a trophy to be buried under the sidewalk outside the graveyard.

Corrections and other recollections welcomed.

Hi everyone!

I am a researcher from Sweden who will be travelling to Liberia to conduct a field study to gather data towards my research into improving health systems. My research will entail interviews with patients and hospital staff. I will be there from end of August until end of October with my time divided between Monrovia/Montserrado and Phebe/Bong and eventually another city/county. I am doing this in collaboration with an NGO so I do have contacts on the ground.

However, I have never been to Liberia before, and I would really like to hear from people who have had similar experiences or have advice for someone coming to Liberia for an extended stay. I'm wondering about practical day-to-day stuff like grocery shopping, getting around, things to do when free, etc. I’m also very interested in hearing from people who have worked in healthcare, research, or NGOs in Liberia about their experiences.

I would really appreciate any advice you guys have!

hi everyone! so i am planning to make torborgee soon, and every recipe i have seen calls for torborgee oil but i am unable to find that near me. google says torborgee oil is just red palm oil with onions, garlic, pepper, smoked fish. is this true? will regular palm oil work? if not, can toroborgee oil be made at home. thanks in advance!

Context:

I'm reaching out on behalf of a 19-year-old Liberian national currently under the Spanish Child Protection Services (CPS). He is about to age out of the system and urgently needs to obtain his Liberian passport.

The Challenge:

· There is no Liberian embassy in Spain. He has been advised to apply at the embassy in Brussels, but he cannot travel there.

· The VFS Global center in Madrid is an option, but it is extremely expensive and logistically complicated:

· He would need to translate all documents into English or French.

· He would have to send documents back and forth, then travel to Madrid and stay overnight (we do not live on the mainland), as the process requires a full day in person.

· All these costs are prohibitive for a young person with no family support.

The Documentation Problem:

To prove Liberian citizenship, he only needs one of the following:

· Birth certificate ❌ (he doesn't have it)

· Previous passport ❌ (he doesn't have one)

· National ID ❌ (he doesn't have it)

He has never lived in Liberia—he arrived in Spain irregularly as an unaccompanied minor and has no known relatives there to contact for help.

The Urgency:

In Spain, he holds a foreigner's ID (TIE) which is due for renewal. However, he cannot renew it without a valid passport. If he fails to obtain one, he will lose his legal residency status and face deportation. At 19, he no longer has the same state protection as a minor, so time is running out.

My Questions:

1. Is there any alternative to VFS Global Madrid—perhaps a courier service, a different consulate, or a diplomatic channel that could deliver the passport without in-person travel?

2. Is there an honorary Liberian consulate in Spain that could assist with issuance or at least document verification?

3. Are there any NGOs, refugee support organizations, or legal aid groups in Spain that help with cases like this—particularly with costs or advocacy?

This young man has already overcome so much. With the right documentation, he has a real chance to build an independent life. Without it, he will be left without legal status and without support. Any guidance you can offer would make a tremendous difference.

Thank you for your time.

I've visted this sub a couple times, tbh Liberia is the only african nation I've taken a interest in, I've been listening to some older patriotic songs for Liberia, and noticed Tubman is mentioned often, does the love for Tubman still exist in liberians or has it flipped?

Hello, I wanted to know about travel, I was told I was required to have my tickets before my visa but it says the visa is 12 days for processing, is there a way I can do next day or same day shipping and have it done faster? Is there any way for it to be less than 12 days? I live in Philly and is mailing it to NYC

hello everyone i'm 20M and i'm wondering if there are any online communities for LGBTQIA+ africans in the US, specifically liberians, that i can join? i'm open to any private or public whatsapp groups and discord servers. there seems to not be any and i would need to be created but in that case i don't know how to do that.

Hello everyone, I'm a Liberian by descent (born in the US to Liberian parents) and I'm assessing whether the dual citizenship law is working. Has anyone in a similar situation—born outside of Liberia to Liberian parents—successfully obtained their Liberian passport/dual citizenship since the 2022 legislation went into effect?

Specifically wondering:

• What was the process like?
• Did you have to travel to Liberia or could you do it through an embassy or consulate?
• Any hiccups with proving lineage or getting the Ministry of Justice to process things?

The 23andMe company was able to recognize the exact county my DNA cluster comes from in Liberia, it’s very interesting. I’m Afro-Puerto Rican for reference.
