Today, with the launching of the new informative and entertaining electronic medium, people of the world will listen to what Liberians are saying, not merely what the world is saying about Liberia. The blessing is that the radio is on the SUPER INFORMATION HIGHWAY. There is no red light, green light, or yellow light-it is non-stoppable.

However, every little counts. As the old saying goes, “when someone is watching your back, you must watch your front.” These brothers have done a great job. They have made and are making an immense contribution to Liberia’s civilization. Their innovation deserves bolstering by all Liberians. In order to maintain our radio on the Information Highway, let us give our financial support to the Management of the African Media Network so that they would keep improving WRAR-96 to the standard of any well established media in the world.

Every Little Thing Counts! Our dimes and   nickels can make difference.

Although public corporations have been a part of our national life, they remain basically unproductive and obscure in the general policy approach toward national development, a status they no doubt find convenient. While toiling in obscurity, they manage communication, power generation, airport and seaport, petroleum, agriculture, housing and insurance. Public Corporations remain an important partner in reconstituting Liberia’s economy and in many ways the bedrock for economic stimulus. I am confident that Six Sigma can play an important role of reducing variations and defects in various processes and improve operational excellence at all levels.

WRAR-96: A Worthy Cause That Needs Support
Every little thing counts!!


By Thomas Kai Toteh

On May 31, 2006, two prominent Liberian broadcast journalists, Patrick Manjoe and Gabriel Gworlekaju formally launched a new live internet radio. According to a press release from the Management of the African Media Network, the radio is called Running Africa radio or WRAR-96.

The radio, the management said, will broadcast programs that will place emphasis on African music, including reggae, gospel, and other contemporary music.

AMN’s Executive Director Patrick Manjoe also disclosed that the new Running Africa radio will broadcast latest news, announcements, views, interviews, announcement of community events, and obituaries.

The president and CEO of the African Media network, Gabriel Gworlekaju, said, “This is our very own initiative with no political or economic influence from any source whatsoever.” 

“It hopes that this is a new dawn in bridging the information gap especially for Liberian-owned and operated internet news service,” the release said.

The launching of a new internet radio by two Liberian broadcast journalists marks another milestone in the reconstruction of Liberia. Communication no doubt plays a vital role in the development of any nation. In her most difficult time, Liberia needs this information tool, which helps to shape the views, cultural, social, and democratic values of all Liberians.

WRAR-96 came out of the day Liberians are scattered around the world, and are in dire need to connect with mother land, Liberia. In addition, the newly launched internet radio, WRAR-96, according to its launchers, is rich with a variety of programs that would afford every Liberian in the Diaspora the opportunity to be heard.

This is a step forward for Liberians who form part of the minority groups in the Americas that could not be heard in the mainstream media, except for very interesting news or based on the proximity of the events to the media and region.
