OPINION: For Nimba Unity to Be Credible, It Must Be Inclusive and Opportunity-Driven

Unity is a noble ideal. Every Nimbaian wants it. We love to say, "Nimba is one." But unity cannot be credible when it is built on exclusion, and it can not be led by those who have not demonstrated the capacity to unite their own immediate circles.

We have observed with concern the activities of the Nimba Solidarity Movement for Unity. The name sounds good — Solidarity, Unity — but a good name is not enough. The structure and actions raise serious, legitimate questions that must be answered if this movement wants the trust of Nimbaians.

FIRST: WHO IS LEADING THIS UNITY?

A movement that wants to unite a whole county as big and diverse as Nimba must look like Nimba in its leadership. Right now, it does not.

So we must ask openly:

1. Who really constitutes the leadership of this Movement, and how were they selected? Was there a consultation?
2. Where is the role of the student community — our own Nimba University, LICC, PYJ Polytechnic? The future of Nimba is in the classroom.
3. Where are the other prominent sons and daughters of Nimba who may have different views on policy? Unity is not an agreement on everything. Unity is respecting different views.
4. Where is the voice of the common people? The market women in Ganta, the motorcyclists in Sanniquellie, the farmers in Bahn and Karnplay? If they are not in the room, whose unity is it?

SECOND: WHAT DIVISION ARE WE FIXING?

Since the 2023 general elections, Nimbaians have not been divided. We voted — some for this party, some for that party — but after elections, we went back to the farm, to school, to market. We have coexisted peacefully.

So, what is this new division that now needs a new movement to fix? We must be careful not to create a problem just to justify a solution.

What is even more concerning is that this movement appears to be undermining existing, community-rooted organizations such as UNICCO and KWADO, which have long worked and sacrificed for Nimba's development You can not preach unity while you are busy fragmenting existing unity structures. That is a contradiction Nimbaians can see.

THIRD: NIMBA NEEDS REAL UNITY, NOT T-SHIRT UNITY.

This is the most important point.

Nimba does not need symbolic unity. Nimba needs substantive unity.

Symbolic unity is printing T-shirts and busing people for photo opportunities.

Substantive unity is using the positions and influence you have been given to create jobs and open opportunities for Nimbaians across all six cities — Ganta, Sanniquellie, Saclepea, Bahn, Karnplay, and Tapita

Let us be honest and ask the practical questions that matter to our people:

Will transportation to a rally provide food for a family the next day?
Will a T-shirt pay a child's school fees in Gompa or Bahn?
Will a T-shirt secure admission to Nimba University or LICC?

The people of Nimba voted in 2023 for "opportunity, not optics." They voted for development, not political positioning.They voted for jobs, not for camera lights.

My Recommendation

My recommendation to all Nimba officials in government is simple and direct:

The most powerful act of unity you can perform is not a rally. It is to ensure fair and equitable access to job opportunities for Nimbaians. That is the unity our people will feel in their homes. That is the unity that will keep our sons and daughters from leaving Nimba.

Until unity means shared opportunity rather than a cartel of access intended to impress the Vice President, it will not earn the confidence of the people.

In short, unity is not sewn into a T-shirt. Unity is built through equity, inclusivity, and opportunity.

Let us be serious. Let us put Nimba first.

Representative of Nimba District #4 writes. ......

"WELCOME BACK, MR. PRESIDENT

Mr. President, welcome back to Liberia, and thank you for representing our country at the just-concluded United Nations General Assembly (UNGA).

Mr. President, Nimba County is pleased to see you return home. I thought it was important to bring something to your attention—something that I believe deserves serious consideration as your administration continues its work.

First, let me acknowledge your administration’s support for the people of Nimba County. Your government has appointed and employed many Nimbians at various levels of government. We also appreciate the confidence you have continued to place in our son, the Vice President of Liberia, Hon. Jeremiah Kpan Koung.

We equally recognize the Ministers, Deputy Ministers, Assistant Ministers, Ambassadors, Commissioners, Directors, and other officials from Nimba who have been given opportunities to serve the country under your administration.

For these opportunities and the confidence placed in our people, the people of Nimba recognize your administration’s efforts.

But, Mr. President, there is another matter that deserves your attention.

Nimba County gave your candidacy substantial electoral support during the 2023 presidential and general elections. Because of that political relationship and the expectations that naturally come with it, many Nimbians believe your administration should leave behind a clear, visible, and lasting legacy project in the county—something that will serve generations long after your tenure.

Mr. President, history provides examples of how previous administrations left lasting institutions in Nimba.

Former President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf’s administration, for example, oversaw major investments in institutions that continue to serve the people of Nimba, including the Jackson F. Doe Memorial Hospital and Nimba Community College, now Nimba University. These investments represent more than physical structures. They provide healthcare, education, employment, skills development, and opportunities for families across the county.

The point is simple: government support can be transformed into institutions and infrastructure that continue benefiting citizens long after an administration has left office.

Even during former President George Weah’s administration, the Ganta City Hall project was initiated and left under construction. While several other commitments remained unfinished, that project demonstrates that major public infrastructure can become part of an administration’s physical legacy.

Mr. President, if the question is where to begin, Nimba is ready to put forward practical ideas.

One such initiative is the proposed Nimba Development Bank, which we are working toward establishing using funding that, under the applicable arrangements, would otherwise support community development initiatives.

However, we respectfully ask your administration to consider incorporating the Nimba Development Bank into the 2027 National Budget.

If government takes responsibility for financing or supporting the project, the people of Nimba could potentially redirect their Social Development Fund toward other community-based initiatives—projects that directly address local priorities, livelihoods, infrastructure, agriculture, youth development, and economic empowerment.

And Mr. President, if you are looking for projects that can begin moving quickly, there are several possibilities.

Through the Ministry of Public Works, your administration could consider paving or prioritizing road infrastructure in Nimba under the 2027 National Budget, including:

• Seclepea–Bahn–Karnplay Road
• Karnplay–Gborplay Road
• Bahn–Buutuo Road
Gbanquoi to Zekepa Road
Graie to Toweh Town

These are not merely roads on a map. Improved connectivity can mean better access to markets, schools, healthcare facilities, farms, businesses, and communities.

And Mr. President, there is another idea worth considering:

Why if you expand the Ganta Sports Pitch into a modern sports academy?

Nimba has enormous sporting talent. A properly developed sports academy could provide structured training for young people, create opportunities for coaches and sports professionals, and potentially produce athletes capable of representing Liberia at national and international competitions.

Mr. President, Nimba is not simply asking for promises. Nimba is asking for legacy.

The people of Nimba have demonstrated their political support through the ballot box. Now, the conversation should move beyond political support toward visible, measurable, and sustainable development.

We are not asking for everything at once.

We are asking for a few strategic investments that can become symbols of development and continue serving the people for generations.

Mr. President, 2027 provides an opportunity to make legacy investments in Nimba County.

The people are ready.
The ideas are here.
The needs are clear.

Now, the question is whether your administration will turn these opportunities into concrete commitments.

Welcome back, Mr. President. And welcome to the conversation about legacy."

PEACE MESSAGE FROM HON. JAMES D. HALLOWANGER
Former Senatorial Candidate, Nimba County - 2023 Elections_

October 3, 2026

Fellow Citizens of Nimba and Liberians at large,

As a son of Nimba who sought your trust in the 2023 Senatorial Elections, I come today not as a politician, but as a brother, a father, and a stakeholder in the peace of our beloved county.

Nimba has always been the heartbeat of Liberia - strong, resilient, and diverse. Our strength has never been in our divisions, but in our unity. In our Mano, Gio, Mandingo, Krahn, and all tribes sitting together as one people.

Today, I make a passionate appeal to all Nimbaians:

1. Let us choose dialogue over violence. No grievance is too big that we can not sit on the mat and resolve it as family.

2. Let us reject those who seek to divide us for political gain. Nimba is bigger than any one candidate, any one party, and any one election.

3. Let us protect our young people.To our youth , do not allow yourselves to be used as an instrument of chaos. You are the future of Nimba, not its destruction.

I call upon our traditional leaders, our religious leaders, our women leaders, and our youth leaders to continue to preach peace in every district - from Yekepa to Sanniquellie, from Ganta to Karnplay, from Saclepea to Tappita, from Bahn to Buutuo, from Freeman in Gbi to Zekepa, from Zorgowee to Ziah Old and new Town, from Kpentuo to Kpablee etc.........

The 2023 elections have come and gone. Now is the time to support development and hold hands together for the progress of Nimba County and Liberia as a whole.

Let us remember: In unity, Nimba stands strong. In peace, Liberia progresses.

May God bless Nimba County and bless the Republic of Liberia.

In peace and solidarity,

Hon. James D. Hallowanger
Former Senatorial Candidate, Nimba County
Patriot and Son of Nimba
