Corruption: A Modern-Day Fallacy

-
Image
  G rowing up my folks always emphasized the ethical value of charity always beginning at home. Back in those days the said proverb normally pushed me and my young brother towards our chore duties. Duty and rules make we humans the ever-evolving species that we are, without them we lie with the animals. A peep down in history will probably tally Corruption hand in hand with duty and rules, it’s not a thing to be amazed by nor is it a shocker, for even the good book in Proverbs says “where there no oxen the troughs are always clean”. But we are the superior specie hence this rule shouldn’t apply to us in its respective order rather, a corrupt free atmosphere is what is expected of every working human being. So, what is corruption ? For the sake of efficacy and the nature of the subject matter and the target perpetrators, I shall shun away from the common definition that involves bribes but rather focus on the literal origin of the word and define it with an air of philosophy.

The Ticket In The Jacket

-
Image
After my supposed outburst at the most opulent purchase of one piece of apparel our country has ever seen, I decided to scour the web in search of the now legendary Red Jacket. Our national papers didn't have the images on their online platforms as to when it was been purchased but luckily for me they had the stories that made the said jacket famous and valuable. Often and not too many times great men are taken and quoted out of context, not because they are prone to been mistaken but often because their struggles are best left untouched and overlooked.  HH goes to High Court. The UPND fundraising party of getting to know the present was quite indeed a hefty affair, it got the who's who of our society dipping into their deep pockets just to get not a glimpse but the very façade of our Republican president is. The party was a success, it's organizers can now do more than just hope that their Party and it's reign is going to be a success. I dare not implicate the Presiden

THE HH NAWAKWI SAGA: A BAD EPISODE OF PRIDE AND PREJUDICE

Image
 We live in a nation where the politics that drive our governance system can sometimes leave a lot to be desired. The various national issues that need to be addressed are some what left unchecked, these are issues that now seem like they are left for the upper echelons of society to talk about and yet the people getting the bad end of stick or rather the bargain are folks well in tune to 94.9fm. Mavbuto siya sila mu komboni and yet for some reasons "us" komboni dwellers don't even know why our dear Miss Nawakwi is hot on her heels slowly sinking her teeth in our bally's neck?  Former Finance Minister The problems our country is currently facing won't disappear overnight, and neither will the world end if politicians for once, can act like they really care about the integrity of the citizenry. It is high time they stopped acting like an average Zambian is just some average Joe or Jane who has to nod to everything that is put on their table swallow any form of cods

A Call To Action

-

Love is the strongest stuff ever! Two months of introspecting and soul searching has brought me to a point of no return. I guess am grown, am youthful in my endeavors, even if adversity is an everyday thing life has never been more vibrant than it is. I spent the whole vacation time i had listening to the whole album of the artist depicted on the left side and it left me questioning alot of human tendencies and traits. Drugs are a force to be reckoned with and the last thing an addict would need is hypocrisy where "using" is concerned. The same drug that calms down the rage of a taurus will trigger a virgo to lose his or her cool. Society at large is self-conceited where a gate way drug like Cannabis is concerned. We lack activists who can usher in new recreative ways for the use of these stimulants. Often the use of Cannabis requires a matured state of mind otherwise the paranoi that comes with the various effects of the drug use will inevitably lead one in rehab or in o

Appreciating The Performing And The Fine Arts 🎭

-

https://m.facebook.com/story 7 years ago i was completely unaware of the performing arts, drama nor theatre as a whole. Though at my High School several students used to rehearse and they were particularly good at what they did. I remember during the hand over ceremony that ensured that my intake (2010) was left the keys to the kingdom, the guys from the Arts department gave the whole school a trip into a cultural ride that even earned a good number of the performers substantial amounts money in tips from the audience. Be as it may, i am utterly engrossed in the fine arts such that any given opportunity where they can be used, to me it seems like it has to has to be grabbed with both hands. The fine arts can be encorporated in the perfoming arts especially where building of sets is concerned. Every good actor and actress is inspired not only by the script but the scene as well. As such it is with great disappointment that i write this blog for the only theatre that seems readily

Echoes of An Eco-System

-

The talks going on about how climate change is affecting the eco-system couldn't be as loud enough as they are across the global. Sadly though as loud as the sensitization is the trumpets are been blown on deaf ears as the effects become somewhat a sight for colour blind eyes. Recently Ethiopia boastfully announced to the rest of the world how it had managed to plant about a billion trees just between the months May and August, why? Prudence. We can't afford to turn blind eye nor turn colour blind for that matter to the harsh realities that are been infringed upon the environment. As much as it may take a few minutes to take down an Acacia Eucalyptus tree with a chainsaw machine the said tree in it's journey does a whole lot of good to the environment. On my regular mountain hikes in my now adoptive home town, i manage to scale the heights of the "mountain" like hills for a better view of the valley like town,with it's serpentine blue shimmering Ka

Bi-Polar Life in A third world Order

-
Image
Black or white does not matter when one is diagnosed with bi-polar. It often seems like a curse more than a gift for most of us, again colour is of no consequence if you can't cope or if you don't have adequate family support. As humans we are always living in fear of things that emit immense possibilities and perpetual hope, there are worser things than the mania side of the condition under discussion;things like low self esteem,mediocrity and inferiority complexes are incurable and by far are scourges gnawing and chewing away at most young Africans, though incurable in it that they are not diseases nor disorders they are however controllable cause they are but states of mind inflicted upon us by the very powers that be. Bi-polar disorder can be controlled and very much be used to one's benefit. The secret lies in finding a balance of the day as one takes life one day at a time. Cyclothymia is a much better version or rather a controlled state of the disorder.
