A Perfect "Native-Name" President For Liberia

Patrick Tuon had written that in the 2011 presidential election in Liberia, a perfect "native-name" person should become president. This is what I wrote when I read his initial piece:

Tough one, Tuon. Don't Liberians already know that Dennis is from Montserrado County, Koffa is from Sinoe County, Zarwolo is from Nimba County, Zaza is from Lofa County, Varney is from Cape Mount County, Gbessagee is from Bassa or Rivercess County, Fahnlon is from Bong County, Garsuah is from Margibi, Bassa or River Cess County, Quiah is from Grand Gedeh; Nyema is from Maryland County?

The name is not the problem. Love for country and people is the incurable sore on the heels of Liberians.
