Laura; one of your best quality is that you are very much respectful to our people. Thank you so much. Your presentations are amazing. No doubt! I'll always be your loyal fan.😅Keep up the good work. You R very much appreciated. By the way, I lived my formative years within the vicinity of Bong Mine/BMC.

[@LaurettaBiraneCisse]

Oh, wow. Thank you for the kind words.😊

[@LIBGamer]

I love hearing from ordinary Liberians outside of Monrovia and you do a good job of bringing that on your channel. The authenticity of your content and how you interact with regular everyday people makes you the best Liberian KZbinr in my book.

[@LaurettaBiraneCisse]

Thank you

Thank you

[@juliabee7762]

Thanks for sharing Lauretta. I grew up in Bong Mines, we used to call Bong Mines little Germany. Bong Mines was a beautiful and twenty-fours a day lighted city. I missed my days in Bong Mines. Education was free for the staff members children. It was one of the best in the world during the glory days of Liberia. I made all my childhood friends in Bong mines. When I see Bong Mines now, it makes me cry.

[@LaurettaBiraneCisse]

True

[@rolandvolawuo988]

This is my place of birth & grew up here until 1990, I left Bong Mines. Indeed, this place used to be well developed by the German people & had a very good education systems. Bong Mines used to be called small Europe those days. My father worked with the Bong Mining Company from 1962 to 1990. We used to lived in one of the beautiful camp called Botota. Thanks for sharing our old memories with us my dear sister & keep on the good work for our country!

[@LaurettaBiraneCisse]

Thank you

[@user-go5vr9nl7p]

[@LaurettaBiraneCisse]

Wow

[@BlueCavalla]

The story gets better every day!!❤❤

[@LaurettaBiraneCisse]

Amen

[@zentrovert]

Very informative. TanQ. Me maseff wor pekin during the Lamco days in Buchanan. We left for Sweden in 1980 shortly after Doe took over.

[@LaurettaBiraneCisse]

Oh😊

[@goddessdennis6394]

Buchanan girl here.🙌My dad worked for Lamco also.

[@zentrovert]

What year? And where did u live? 🎉

[@WillsJazzLoft]

It's regrettable that the Chinese have not redeveloped the concession. It seems that the GoL and the citizens have not recouped the benefits as they did back in the glory days of Liberian mining. Speaking of the biggest, I'm almost certain that LAMCO was actually the largest of the legacy mining operations. Thank you for giving us a window on the lives and well being of Liberians affiliated with Bong Mines

[@marettagreene8915]

That place used to be so beautiful.

[@AjuahMNagbe]

[@ericdpeerik3928]

And some government fool sold the rights to a foreign company.

[@danielmark6779]

A point of correction: LAMCO was far away the largest mining company in Liberia.

[@LaurettaBiraneCisse]

I never said LAMCO was the largest mining company. I mentioned “when LAMCOM was LAMCO” because people use that term a lot to talk about the good old days in Liberia.

[@marettagreene8915]

My uncle used to work with the company.

[@davesuah2572]

😢😢😢 this is actually sad to be honest

[@LaurettaBiraneCisse]

Yes

[@agnesnseton7524]

My place of birth

[@RaphaelKpissay]

This is sad, war and bad leadership
