Zambians - masters of nothing?

There are 2 types of Zambians. Took me time to realise this but now, it seems more and more true.

There are those who are full patrots of the land and who have interest of the country at heart in all they talk about. Then there are those who pretend to know it all and in most cases seem to be in charge of things.

What strikes me as being interesting is the level of thinking when it comes to things that involve National interest. The people who pretend to know it all (and shamelessly some have no idea they don't know anything at all) are the loudest. They scream who will destroy the country and why it wont make sense to vote this guy etc. They seem to know what bad the one person has done amongest all the people that are standing. When we uncover the ills that come with those people later, they shamelessly give excuses. I remember how these people 'sainted' Levy at one time. He was almost a heavenly creature around us. Now that the ills have come out, they have swam so fast from the shore they are in Isreal with Chiluba! We seriously have a problem!

At first I thought it was job-seeking or protecting the wealthy they have misteriously acquired. I realise now it could be all that and alot more. They have hidden agendas that they promote while they sink the country deeper and deeper into poverty.

Now the other group knows of this and have taken up a man they think will sort the culprits out and lock whoever has done harm to the country. Their main aim is not to make the leader a superior being but use him to control the mis-management that has come to the country.

What is so shocking is that even some would be good contributers to the search of good leaders have turned out to be chaps with no option but a mere political mouth piece of the oppressers and yet they have posh houses and jobs in South Africa! What nonsense, who are you to talk about what leader is best for Zambia when you have run-away from the troubles and settled outside. Pretenders and savior of the country? Get your head checked.

Lets call a spade a spade and not a straight spoon. If you are mature and have things to offer, you just tell us what you think and not go on comapigning for these thieves that have been ruling us. I wonder what moral right one has to claim they know anything when they live very far! Ever wonder why you disagree with people who are on the ground? Ever wonder why MMD loses amongest the student and intellectuals and you think MMD is supported by educated people! Do you think Lusaka and Copperbelt have less educated people as Western and North-Western? Believe me, if you have not been in Lusaka and seen the nonsense and how the country is slowly being sold, please don't open your mouth. I wouldn't be so happy to think of settling in a foreign land had I seen a future in this country.

Zambia is fast dying. MMD has over taken the pace of natural death and cruised the country to its knees. Maybe that hammering by Ghana in London was supposed to show you how things run here with that Kalusha Bwalya chap in charge. Now imagine that RB is 10 times more destructive. He has already by-passed all terrible presidents we have had. He is the best - worst! No wonder we want the idea of 'Father of the nation' dropped as it pollutes people into thinking they have anything to offer the country.

Any silly idea loaded Zambian thinking he can tell us how it should by telling us who we should not vote for is not only a fool but a total fool.

Tell us which country takes on a leader because the one he succeded had a vision? They look at what a person has done. What they have achieved in leadership positions. But most of us outside Zambians want to judge by what they want to see lead. No wonder we are backward and stupid. We are supposed to be learning what other countries do. But silly enough, we are the worst example and advisor to the people. We want to look at faces and say these one doesn't look like a president - yet we complain when these natives calls us names because of our colour. We really to get our act together and help Zambia pick a leader who has done provable works in the political scene - thats a basis of voting for a good leader!
