… Five Counties Targeted

By Tonita Copson

The Government of Liberia has signed a memorandum of understanding with the Marine Foundation and the Marinef Corporation for the construction of the long waited George Manneh Weah Millennium Sports Complex in Liberia.

Five counties have initially been targeted for the project.

Speaking Monday October 22, 2018 in Monrovia, the Vice President of the Marine Foundation and Chairman of the Marinef Corporation Dr. Alhaji Alhussein O. Banao said the company chose Liberia long before the presidency of George Weah.

Dr. Banao indicated that the Sports Complex will be built in Montserrado, Nimba, Grand Bassa, Bong and Grand Gedeh counties.

He said the complex when constructed will have 90,000 seats in Monsterrado, 40,000 seats in Nimba, 30,000 in Grand Bassa, 20,000 in Bong and 15,000 in Grand Gedeh respectively.

He also stated that the company is prepared to start the construction immediately after the provision of lands by the Liberian Government in the next 60 days.

“The George Manneh Weah Millennium Sports complex is going to be a comprehensive international sporting complex in the heart of Monrovia; the complex will breed sporting champions in the country,” Dr. Banao said.

Dr. Banao said the marine foundation has come to invest in economic growth through business investment, employment and tourism; adding that the stadiums will also provide jobs for Liberian youth.

Also speaking, the Chairman of the Coalition for Democratic Change (CDC), Mulbah Morlu expressed his gratitude to the Marine foundation and Marinef Corporation for choosing Liberia to enhance the idea of Africans on the continent.

Morlu said the company’s ability to deliver to Liberia and invest in the country cannot be overemphasized because it is a respectable institution around the world.

He pledged the party’s support to working with the company to support the government’s pro poor agenda, indicating that when the project is implemented it will cement the legacy of President Weah.

For his part, Mr. Robert Quaye Dwuye Jr, Senior Economist at the Ministry of Finance and Development Planning said the ministry supports the developmental goals of the company, and will work with the company to ensure that the project is successful.

Marine Foundation was entirely created with its system in mind, knowing pertinently that if the system could resemble the way of nature, then it would profit everyone and everything that would come in contact with it. It took almost 20 years to design its content. The great painter Picasso said it would take a lifetime to learn to draw with the heart of a child. Beauty exist the simplicity, and cannot be defined in technical words. It is easy to understand and assimilate, because love is the source of beauty. It just cannot be explained but you can be pull it apart to anything that you want it to be, but cannot be scientifically (with mathematics) or religiously (with words) written. That’s why we need to blue print of systems that can be can be explained and understood, and the base conformed to a structure of the natural world where if you follow the rules you might come up to construct anything you might who to imagine. We call results which process of appearing cannot be explained “miracles”. Since our earthly system is miraculously established (we can’t explain its root energy), then anything and everything that anyone creates with a system that resembles the motion of the universe, will also  create miracles. It’s a bit like a child who wants to play Mozart, and the parents gave him a violin. Then the child becomes virtuous. The violin is the system but the child’s talent is the mystery.  So if there is indeed a creator of our earthly system, it must be set it up so that we, the children, can just utilizing it to achieve beyond our own wildest imagination, if we keep to the purpose of life in the universe, teaching us that no happiness can be achieved unless we each learn to live for the sake fo others, in the unconditional act of giving. (to be continued)
