A Liberian Bishop predicts more hardship for Liberia under President Boakai.

Zorzor, Liberia, February 4, 2025 – The Bishop of the Christian Inter-denominational Assemblies or CHRIDA, Aloysius W. Kpadeh, Sr., predicts that Liberia will be tough this year.
According to Bishop Kpadeh, there will be hardship under the leadership of President Joseph Nyumah Boakai, especially this year.
He painted the bleak picture while speaking to a group of Lofa citizens from various parts of the county, including Zorzor, at a program organized by the church on Feb 2, 2025.
The ceremony was intended to ordain, commission, consecrate, and offer prayers for different church leaders, and it was held in the Zorzor Women Activities Hall, Zorzor district.
Bishop Kpadeh, with his message of doom, continued that a lot of evil will happen in 2025, but God will still reveal some positive things.
According to him, many things are happening in the world and Liberia is not an exception, so Liberians should not be surprised when they face hardship.
He referenced waves of recent national events that have brought the country’s name to public ridicule, citing the absence of the judiciary at President Boakai’s 2nd Annual Message, burning of the Capitol Building, deportation of Liberians and other nationals as part of the vices that are geared toward making the country very difficult.
He notes that most Liberian leaders have cursed the nation with their involvement in blood sacrifices during elections because the blood they spilled during elections brings catastrophe upon the country.
However, Bishop Kpadeh says Christians can save the nation by praying and changing evil people in leadership who continue to strangulate the country.
He added that leaders are not thinking about solving problems but fighting for themselves.
The Bishop laments that he was very disappointed when lawmakers were accused and called for questioning in regard to their alleged involvement in the recent Capitol Building fire incident.
He urges the church members to repent from evil and serve God. Liberians, he urges, can only be saved when they turn to Jesus Christ in prayers and faith as the only savior.
Liberians are seriously decrying the escalating trend of hardship under the Boakai Administration. Still, in his recent State of the Nation Address, the President bragged about economic stability with specific reference to increment in incentives for health workers, teachers, and security.
The exchange rate between the Liberian Dollar and the United States Dollar has climbed from L$195 to US$1 with upward changes in transportation fares, gasoline and diesel prices, rice, and other basic commodities.
Many say the hardship, which President Boakai inherited from former President George Manneh Weah, is tougher than before.
According to Boakai’s recent report, his predecessor left a broken economy and a debt of US$2.5 billion. Editing by Jonathan Browne
