LIFE INSIDE LIBERIA's BIGGEST SLUM COMMUNITY WEST POINT

[@Gioboy_Michael]

If I was the government of Liberia I’d build free houses for those that live and own land here and relocate them. West Point has very beautiful landscapes that can be developed into a bustling shopping district with beautiful modern skyscrapers, luxury hotels, malls, restaurants and stunning beaches. This will attract tourists. Liberia could be the Dubai of Africa or even better. We have all the resources to achieve this all we are missing is good leadership.

[@talleypatrick]

That was my taught too. Best decision my brother.

[@josephinekrangar9911]

You are so right, I always dream about west point transforming in to a modern community. It is a beautiful landscape that deserves modern futures.

[@aboutashow]

A tourist based economy is trash. Commercialization of beachfront property is just another way to industrialize in a way that erodes the natural environment. You can improve lives without creating skyscrapers and the like

[@DinoCon]

I am of the same mind. I'm not sure if West Point specifically could support super large buildings, but it should most definitely be converted into some kind of entertainment area where families can enjoy the beach, eat at nice restaurants, go shopping, maybe watch a movie, and all sorts of things.

[@cardiacpa]

Dubai of Africa.... Ummmm not possible. There is a reason West Africa is not a tourist destination. There is nothing to offer a tourist. No sight seeing, no value. I spent 2 years there in the US Embassy.

Apaton if I said his name right is knowledgeable about the dangers of living, bathing, and dwelling in such poor conditions indeed. West Point, is indeed an industrial area. Definitely shouldn’t be residential

[@flomo8700]

Wow I have never been to west point. I hope to one day visit the area.

I wonder if the CDC party will ever clean up and develop West Point ? Or is West Point not important to them ?!!! Hmmm ......... 🤔

You need to visit West Point, very interesting place with extra ordinary lifestyle

Thank you for sharing. I pray to God that rich men and women will stop lying and hoarding their wealth so that these poor people don’t l have to suffer so badly. How disgusting that the president of the Congo makes about 14 million USD a year while these beloved souls suffer so badly. I just watched a Liberian man get 2nd in the Olympic 200m semi finals and I was reminded how hard life is there.

​@@p.fahnndormeyan5681 I agree previous administrations did nothing to put beautiful Liberia where it should be but my point was finally roads are being built & parks to beautify the nation so we should applaud that & understand 160 yrs of neglect can't be fixed overnight.
