I’m not quitting GRZ for UN-Prof Luo

Share

Prof Nkandu Luo

Chiefs and Traditional Affairs Minister Professor Nkandu Luo has described as baseless, news reports that she will soon quit politics to take up a lucrative job with the United Nations.

Professor Luo who is also Munali PF MP said in an interview that she has no intentions of resigning her from government adding that such reports are concocted lies.

“Let me state that President Michael Sata is the one who appointed me to serve in his government and naturally he will be the first to be informed if at all there are such things,” Prof Luo said.

“I will continue serving the people of Munali until the five year mandate given to me elapses.”

She added, “It is really sad that Zambia is now becoming a country that thrives on lies, we lie every day and it is becoming normal. This story about me leaving government is another lie.”

Professor Luo cautioned the public to dismiss such reports with the highest levels of contempt it deserves.

  1. Ba Minister is very right,we lie every hour with impunity,especially electronic media.These days its not easy to know who is saying what.These young journalists have just sent us into journalistic detour

  2. another lie fron ZWD, i pity bloggers there who believe everything they read on that blog as gospel truth. ZWD has even blocked me from commenting on their site. i believe am not the only one. shame on them!

    • But she has not said anything about the UN job reported to have been offered to her why?
      Be careful with Politicians my friend.

    • Man the Dog watch is useless it has banned so many who have opposing views from that of UPND. I am one of the many. Just let them be they think by blocking opposing views HH is becoming popular…no no its not diaporans who vote but Zambians back home. They have no strategy these guys.

    • Judging by the hatred that comes out of your stinking brains I understand why the ZWD blocks you. Lusaka times should do the same by banning empty tins like you who have nothing better to blog about than insulting people with opposing views.

    • And the thing is those vile amateur G12 reporters at watchpig just carry on churning out shameless lies without even issuing an apology.its business as usual. 
      PS. Those dull chaps cannot block anyone, they are not that sophisticated; all they do is delete. 

  3. the so called Professor is ugly. and why is she called professor when she is not in academic circles. you can only be called professor if you at the University either in research or lecturing not as a minister she Dr. Luo not Professor Luo. The former US secretary of state is Dr Rice but she is Professor.

    • Good observation bwalya. the defination of a profesor according to Wikipedia is,
      A professor is a scholarly teacher; the precise meaning of the term varies by country. Literally, professor derives from Latin as a “person who professes” being usually an expert in arts or sciences, a teacher of high rank.[1] In much of the world, including most Commonwealth nations (such as the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand) and northern Europe professor is reserved only for the most senior academics at a university, typically a department chair, or an awarded chair specifically bestowed recognizing an individual at a university

    • That is daft. No one attains Professorship for nothing. Little knowledge is dangerous! How do you start doubting reality?

    • she didnt choose to look ‘ugly’ why do you have to be so mean to her, she didnt say anything bad. are you one of those lying everyday? 

    • #ba booty leaks mulichipuba sana. am talking about the picture of a person am seeing and you talk about my mum whose picture you not seen. change your name from booty leaks to ass. hole leaks. am sure it describes you better

    • # NOTORIOUS B.IG. we know you to be a paid PF thug. your insults also apply to you because even your mother has a musata so you have not just insulted me you also insulted your mother’s musata hehe. i was just trying to call a spade a spade not a spoon.

    • Bwalya Chiselema and Chuchu have raised very good points about Professorship. A Professor is supposed to be publishing papers in recognized Journals every year. The converse makes one lose Professorship. Google her name and see what she has done lately.

    • Iwe bwalya chiselama you are the most ugly person ever, you heart speaks voumes, if you are ugly inside, you bring it out side, what comes outside you is beyond ugly, go look for help, if you can write something about a respectable woman, mother and wife with no sorce of remorse, shame, i wonder what kind of mother raised you, i bet shes the most beautiful insect ever, think before you make any opnion, you are sick!

    • Nowanda aba sungu say if u want to kip sumthing from a black man,put it in a book…Prof. Luo has done soo much research on AIDS and hence her getting her title; from what I recall from when she held a career’s meeting with my sku,shez been educated in Russia AND China and a caple mo places..and besides,she was 1 of the pipo that (if not her alone) who did research n proved dat the mosquito does not transmit AIDS; dont just hate for the sake of hating!!!

    • which paid thug iwe,the time PF came into power i was not in zambia,last time i was in zambia was in 2004 i dont know what you are toking about.what i am trying to say is respect Pro Luo thats all,who get paid by PF fulwe iwe?…we know you??? my foot!!! who taught you how to use internet kanshi?

    • Ba bwalya Chiselema mulibakopo. Am not insulting, its a fact. Stop the hating– for nothing then God ‘ll probably deliver you from your ubukopo.

    • Iwe kapoli, she is the first Zambian female microbiologist professor in medicine. When were you born not to know about Prof Nkandu Luo? We chitotololi we mwana weshilu. Being a professor is not restricted to classroom attendance. There are professors in physics, chemistry, biology (scientists) under which Prof Luo falls. And you don’t become a professor by appointment like some of these preachers or even presidents, You must earn as she did. Stupid *****. Little knowledge is very dangerous. And can you put your photo out here to compare with Prof Luo you ingratiate.

    • @Maxwell:

      Believe you me, Ba Chiselema is our “VILLAGE !D!OT” on this blog. Just like one Mushota. You can bet on it!!!!!!!!!!

    • Yambayamba 
      Someone needs to close the gate we are getting too many stray nincompoop rabid dogs coming from the Zambian Watchpig yard!! kikikiki

    • little did i know that PF is full of dull *****.s like maxwell, yambayamba, Cozmocowjr and the group you are using the internet and you failing to research on my arguments. fools indeed

    • i know that maybe you are just a college graduate from everyn hone or NIPA. i dont want to boast Like Mushota here. search for facts and argue based on those facts not kubwetuka bwetuka chabe

    • Ba Bwalya i would rather have brains than the beauty of the Mampis and the lady kay’s put together.Please go back to your imbacile think alikes on the zambian watchdog.

  4. You can stop such stupidity of peddling lies by suing them. sue Zambianwatchdog the peddlers of fake messages. They ever lie, seems their belief is to tell the biggest  lies and become popular! What a way of journalism! Going for innocent people concoct fake stuff and spread to readers fake message, its twisted logic. If I were you, I would sue them, demand a lot of money for character assassination that would be cool cash for me from them. You can even see the outbursts from the minority party they support, many times miscalculations of facts on the ground. 

    • How on earth does HH come into this? I was about to condemn those insulting but right now I feel like insulting you 

  5. The culture of insults in Zambia is getting out of hand why insult an innocent person who has not insulted you. # 3 What wrong has the professor done you to insult her like that. I serous doubt your level of education. You are just a kaponya who knows how to use the internet

    • is saying the truth an insult according to you? doubt your education before you doubt mine. my point is why is she called professor and not Dr. I dont want to start boasting like that little girl on this blog. my knowledge goes beyond the mere usage of the internet. it goes as far as the capability of designing and developing what you see on the internet. am sure you know what i mean.

    • Have you ever established who comfered that professor title on this woman? Did she just dream it and call her self professor? I sure this woman is been through corridors of education and at the end of that process she got that title professor. Do not belittle other people’s attainments. It a world of talents. web designing is just one, there are many areas of speciality that one can attain professorship just like Nkandu Luo attained.Little kknowledge can be dangerous.

    • Bwalya Chiselema, you are far behind what prof. Luo knows hence my asking your age. She has been practicing medicine probably when your mama was still wiping your ass. You could have educated yourself by even doing one simple thing; Google her. Design and developing my balls. Instead of hiding behind a certificate in industrial arts, tell us your field of specialisation in comparison to one of zambian’s very brilliant female doctors of medicine. You stink like poop.

  6. There is no smoke without fire. just come out in the open Prof. Why hung on o a jo where your brain no longer works because you have to wait to have you decisions rescinded by people who have not had no time to sit in class. I know you are fearing of being victimized should you walk out of the dustbin early. We are waiting for you on the side of intellectuals where you belong. You have thrown yourself in the dustbin too early.

  7. ba bwalya chiselema, mulechita research before you sebana. You dont know that Ms Luo Nkandu has a Phd in Microbiology, was a lecturer at UNZA, school of medicine and due to her frantic efforts on HIV/AIDS awareness, mother-to child transmission and paedriatics, she was accorded the title Professor? Shame on you chiselema. ala jelasi ibi chimbwi iwe. Her immediate young sister Chewe also has a Phd in paedriatics and she is now working for the UNICEF and she probably is the one mistaken by ZWD to be going to unicef. she is already there.

    • its you who is supposed to do some research because you sound to know her track record very well. if i quote you right you say “she was a lecturer at the university of zambia” the moment she left the university of zambia,that when the title of professor-hood ended. just like Professor Lungwangwa’ he is not supposed to hold that tittle. some bloggers are dull. what level of education are you?

    • @Bwalya chiselema:

      Please don’t lie! The title of Professor does not end once you attain it! Are you telling me if a professor retires then the title stops to apply? Because you will lying if you say so! I know plenty of retired professors still being referred to by that title.

      Yes, some people do not really care whether they are called professor fimo fimo while still teaching in college or after leaving the profession. But that is a personal choice and not the norm. So if people still want to affectionately call a former college professor as PROFESSOR, there is no harm or a committee that says you can’t do that! By the way, what if professor Luo decides to go back to teaching or medical research, can you tell me a committee that will reinstate her professorship?

    • @Bwalya chiselema:

      Look, it is like someone you attains the title of JUSTICE (that is High/Supreme Court Judge), they still can be called by that title even after they leave the profession. Also it is “customary” to Address a former President as PRESIDENT so and so without qualifying it. And no one will prosecute you for it! This is done all the time, especially here in America. So if someone decides to refer to Professor Nkandu Luo as PROFESSOR, having attained that title through her teaching profession and research, they are within their right to do so and there is nothing wrong with it. You, Chiselema, may chose not to call her by that title and it is also OK!

    • @Bwalya chiselema:

      I don’t think Professor Luo is insisting that she be addressed as PREFESSOR, so why castigate and insult her for it? You claim to be educated, but your comments sometimes betrays you. It is quite primitive of you to unleash personal attacks on someone (especially someone’s looks) instead of the substance of what they have said. No wonder there is a term: “AN EDUCATED FOOL!”—and you my brother are very close to this!!!!

    • @Yambayamba, you have said it all. If captain cave man in Bwalya Chiselema does not understand what you have elaborated, then we are wasting time. Because titles stay when you have earned them. I think the man came from the stone age and was born way after Prof Luo had already been practicing medicine. Simply put, this ***** is a pumbafu danderhead.

  8. brian,God bless you my brother and may He give you more wisdom.I wander why insults in Zambia is something that has become common and normal.prof luo has done nothing wrong and people just start insulting her.a very cool and humble woman.very few of us can get to her level.let us give her more respect as our mother.

  9. Very educated lady but heading a ministry that means nothing at the expense of tax payers mula! She is getting payed for doing nothing so why waste time and join UN where she will have to perform so and justify her pay? Smart move Prof/Doc!! Ugly/Beautiful does not even come into the equation, whatever happened to respect!!

  10. Due to popular condemnation i retract the statement of “ugliness” and i bestow her with beauty. and i apologize for that. but i maintain my opinion that she is not supposed to be called professor because she is not at any university. just like Pro. Lungwangwa. in USA or UK a politician cannot be called professor its only in zambia. even in malawi, the late president was a professor but he was just called Dr. Mbingu wamutarika simple as that

    • ranting with no direction..i will be insulting you so that you claim am a paid PF thug? chi fulwe iwe…we know you? you knew me where? mu bedroom yako or yaba?

    • Chachine ulichipuba. Ubushilu balapola nomba ubupuba tabapola. Katwishi nga mwaba ku amelika nomba elyo na ignorance yamwikata pantu you think you know more. A lot of Zambians have been to America and best universities for that matter but iwe maybe katwishi ekopyanga.

    • Excuse me ladies and gentlemen. Uyu kolwe cannot possibly be a unigrad, for he could have researched about Prof Luo before he questioned her academic prowess. If he’s in the USA, ee aba abakolope fimbusu or working in the restaurants because you do need a degree to make a burger. Imagine all these doctors under the PF that are using their titles and he has to pick on a professor. Even prof Geofrey lungwangwa was still being referred to as such just like Dr Rodger chongwe was. Tumbwi wamumutenge we kapoli we. Yipika yee!

  11. Luo,you and PF won election out of lies.If i may ask where is more money in peoples’ pocket,what of the youth employment?PF thrives on lies. Sata is the greatest liar.

  12. We insult Prof Luo becuase Ukwa taught us to do. Ukwa CNP used to insult everyone and mock peoples illness, From Levy to George Kunda, to FTJ to u name it.

    Ukwa is to blame. what a President does even before he accended to POWER pipo copy and paste. Ukwa needs serious prayers and repentance.
    So dont blame us Zambians. Ukwa alina peee Ku japan meanwhile he is the one who taught us how to insult.

    • You are liar, Ukwa as you call him never insulted anyone, he does have a sharp tongue but is not someone who insults people, if what you are saying is true state something that he said that is equal to an insult. Even when RB called him all sort s of names like mambala he never responded with deragatory language. You are liar supporting liars who will never rule mother Zambia

  13. The Government is one that dwells on lies yet one of the disciples sees it fit to give us a lecture on how not to tell lies…another way of maintaining the status quo!

  14. Professorship is teaching post. Once you leave the post, you’re supposed to revert to the usual designation. It is only in some backward African countries like Zambia that this idiocy is entertained. For Luo, Saasa, Lungwangwa, Mvunga it is high time people started addressing them by their proper titles. They are no longer in their Professorship posts at the university. Professor is a rank at a teaching and research institution no more no less!

    • i thank you my brother/ sister. we need to address ignorance going on in these minds of some bloggers am under siege for telling the truth. i didnt know that majority of these LT bloggers are so dull especially PF thugs. ( the kaponyas) like NOTORIOUS B.IG.

    • bwalya chiselema which kaponya?,i dont support PF what is your problem?…where did you know me? those flags you see on LT are not true if it says am in zambia.i dont work for PF i have never,let me tell you one thing if i dont support HH doesnt mean am a kaponya

    • sorry about that, maybe there are trying to block you from insulting them; because it seems that is your direction, am sure if you repent they will accommodate you again. 

  15. Ba Prof Luo, this is a question of a pot calling a kettle black! You and your boss Sata are the mother of all liars in Zambian. What morale ground have you to call others liars? Moreover, in politics a rumour is considered untrue until it has been denied. I have classified information that you were blackmailed into withdrawing your intention to quit after Sata threatened to reveal some seditious information about your previous NGO activities.

  16. The ugly old woman old woman not fit for UN job. She is either too old or she is the one who started the rumour after she applied.

  17. Luo said, and quote: ““It is really sad that Zambia is now becoming a country that thrives on lies, we lie every day and it is becoming normal.” Reading this statement without the rest of the content, one would not be blamed for thinking she is talking about her uncle Sata’s daily stinking lies and sinister schemes designed to Bembanise (or Zaireanize) Zambia. This could easily have been a text out of her letter of resignation to Sata. And I wish Tongas can see the face of this ugly creature of the lord, this is the type Sampa wants them to marry in order to ascend to power. You will have to kill me forst before I marry “chinyau ca mtundu uyu.” Even the most desparate Tonga will slake his elemental hunger with a cow than with an ape like Luo!

  18. in the states, the title Prof refers to the position your hold in the university, usually chair of a faculty and/or department. Hence they would say Dr Rice, prof in middle east politics. In the British system, to be prof, one has to be in university, in active research and the title seems to be retained as such.
    The other term abused in Zambia is Honourable, which relates the title used in parliament when addressing a member occupying that position. eg the honourable minister for chiefs affairs, Prof, Mr, Dr, so and so, as opposed to honourable so and so.

  19. Bwalya chiselema, please ask before you expose your ignorance professor is a academical qualification which Luo has attained, is not same as profesor refered to lecturers.

    • which school did you go to? am currently doing my Phd thesis i have never heard where they do professorship as an academic qualification. mention any institution which offers such academic qualification. you are so dull my friend i wouldn’t be surprised if you are a certificate holder or just a mere form V failure. or maybe a college dropout to the maximum

  20. Arguing about titles in Africa is a waste of time. We enjoy these titles even when they mean nothing. Only RB rejected the Dr. Banda honorary position which is a rarirty. If one called the subject minister Dr. Luo, believe me she would feel like insulting such a person. Remember even Mwanawasa despite his education felt it was better to be called Yourr Excellency! So gentlemen like @bwalya chiselema, your points are so clear to some of us, but are they clear to those to whom title is everything? In Nigeria, I believe chief is huge (I only see it in movies and I believe that should be real). It is common here for one to introduce oneself like ‘my name is Mr. so and so’ instead of just the name without the mister, well, that is an African for you. So let pro enjoy her title.

    • Where I am there are so many professors, but we just call them by their actual names as Teacher so and so, not prof something.

  21. watchdog is better than the PF vuvuzela the POST. so i encourage everyone to be reading the ZWD and stop buying the POST. they have defected to the rich and abandoned the poor and that is the role ZWD has taken. VIVA ZWD and DOWN to the POST

  22. Dear bloggers correct me if I am wrong but I think once someone has attained a title of professor they remain with it until death. If they retire and the university still consults them they are given the title Professor Emeritus. Just like Roman Catholic bishops once ordained a bishop always a bishop.By the bishop is a office in the catholic church. When they retire they are bishop emeritus. 

  23. Luo is better advised to take a hint from what she calls a “concocted lie” and move on. She would serve in a different environment than be embarrassed and humiliated at every turn. We support your stance on vendors that earned you a demotion. The rains are here and it will not be long before we begin to report cases of cholera as result of the filth in the towns .We laud your courage too for facing up to reality!

  24. I guess I’m not the only one blocked by ZWD…who reports are majorly flawed, poorly researched, lack credibility and has a blogger following that is bitter and naive they take any article post ZWD for gospel truth.

  25. Ba Zambianwatchdog will remove you ffrom blogging if you oppose them. Thats how crude they aare. Thry only want you peddle their side of reasoning. I will never post my comments there. Let them be.

  26. WWitch ddogs are really liers thats why I don’t read ddogs.Thriving on lies is sinfull they be answerable to God Read Mathew12v36

  27. ZWD, HAVE EVIL INTENTIONS. IT IS NOT SURPRISING BECAUSE HH DICTATES WHAT TO WRITE IN ZWD. THE LEVEL OF LYING IN ZAMBIA HAS SURPASSED MOST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD- ESPECIALLY BY THE ELECTRONIC MEDIA. IT’S A SHAME THAT INSTITUTIONS WHICH ARE SUPPOSED TO INFORM PEOPLE ARE MIS-INFORMING PEOPLE.

  28. WHO STARTED LIE IS NOT YOU AND THE PF GOVERMENT.
    INTRODUCTION OF WINDFALL TAXES,RESTORATION OF BARTOSELAND,JOBS WITHIN 90 DAYS.SEE NOW THE SEED YOU PLANTED OF TELLING LIES AND HOW IT FEELS.
    YOU MUST BE THE LAST ONE TO COMMENT.

  29. #25, PROFESSOR-SHIP IS NOT A UNIVERSITY QUALIFICATION. BSc, BEng, MSc, PhD, ETC ARE UNIVRSITY QUALIFICATION WHILE PROFESSOR-SHIP IS A PROMOTION IN THE HIGHEST INSTITUTION OF LEARNING. JUST LIKE MANAGER OR DIRECTOR AREN’T QUALIFICATIONS BUT PROMOTIONS/POSITIONS AT PLACES OF WORK.

  30. wat is beatiful or ugly? there comes a point in life when none matters….its an ability to be virtueous that matters…..moreover who cares who is ugly or a beautiful minister,,,wat matters is are they performing….. dora was beautiful at least i have heard but wat did she do nothing””””””look i think iam wastng my time here…..but those calling luo ugly gro up……………….

  31. Zone for Worldly Devils ( ZWD) at it again. They only sing their masters voice, satanic HH.Say anything against satanic HH. You are blocked. 

  32. Guys mulejoba not just wailing. She was conferred the Professorship and there is no honory professorship except PhD. Its a title just like SIR(OBE or CBE) Once you get it, you leave with it until the people who conferred you the title decide to withdraw it. ba chiselema wesu, ni knowledge nshi mulechita add by your illogical misconceived perception about the title professor? do you really know what she does in the background? she is still in the HIV research and all you want is to see a professor in the lecture room, ala UBUTUTU bubi, muleke

  33. Bloggers lets be objective when we blogg,lets guide the leadership and avoid being bitter.As for my friends the tongas lets move away from sentiments that cause undue tribal hate.Point at specific incidences for correctional purposes only,#22 those sentiments will be hard for you to bring out if you have both tonga and bemba relatives like me ,and to the bembas see the tongas as equal countrymen may be then the hate with some of them will erase. #22 please help create unity..

  34. Whether ugly or not, she’s not your mother so why bother. She’s an intelligent Woman doing a commendable job at the moment and thats what matters at the end of the day. Every normal person would wish she was their mother, auntie, sister or relative because she’s an inspiration. Grow up you trolls.

  35. @Bwalya chiselema

    You are very right on the issue of Professorship,
    At UNZA where she was a Lecturer, the title of Professor is an academic promotion. You start as Lecturer III, then move up to Lecturer II, then Lecturer I, Senior Lecturer, Associate Professor and (Full) Professor. Have you ever heard of someone calling himself or being addressed as say “Senior Lecturer BANDA” or “Lecturer III BANDA”?

  36. You are all children in thinking and mind. Very childish you are as to insult a woman who is more like your mother. Its a curse and don’t be surprise when you are with your mother somebody insults her . Repent you guys and some of you always pretend to be elders just like Meastro hehehehe Mwanga Mungungulu was an elder for the SDA church. He is no longer blogging may be God has punished him for the insults he used to throw at Sata. Be careful guys.

  37. A professor is a scholarly teacher; the precise meaning of the term varies by country.In much of the world, including most Commonwealth nations (such as the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand) and northern Europe professor is reserved only for the most senior academics at a university.In the United States and Canada the title of professor is granted to all scholars with Doctorate degrees (typically Ph.D.s) who teach in two- and four-year colleges and universities, and is used in the titles assistant professor and associate professor, which are not considered professor-level positions elsewhere, as well as for full professors.In Portugal, France, Romania and Latin America,is used for anyone teaching at a school, institute, technical school, vocational school, college, or university.

  38. In Italy, primary school teachers are called “maestro”(m) or “maestra”(f). Teachers in secondary schools scuole secondarie are called “professore”(m) or “professoressa”(f); the same title is used for university professors. so maybe the question is how have we as Zambians defined the term. i hope i have put an end to this silly arguement. chalo chingo onongeka you people are arguing about titles as if your children eat titles.

  39. Mark against the correct answer, Prof. Luo is:

    a. Uglier
    b. Uglier
    c. Ugliest
    d. All the above, combined!

  40. Stop insults pliz??? Prof Luo for sure should be addressed by another title in all fairness. How can a prof be a minister of chiefs and traditions???? I dont know wat research hez doing on traditions and chiefs?? Shame, wasted education and intergrity!!!! Go back to academics ba Professor pliz or else?? Miss? The pipo publishing lies should be taken to court lik hh for misleading the nation….. Where is Andeleki kanshi??? GBM gav a seven day altimatum wat happened???? Dont cloz the ZWD but let all stories published be accounted for.

  41. #56. Professor Luo would not be called professor in the UK. In the UK Associate Professor which is a step below full professor is Reader. The confusion as arisen because we have followed the American system where Assistant Professors, Associate Professors and full Professors are all called professors unless they are writing papers. To be an associate professor is not based on years but scholarly work which is also reviewed by external reviewers.

  42. In the UK and in Zambia you do not need to have a PhD to be a professor. There was a professor of English who did not have a PhD in the early 1970’s at UNZA in my time when Associate Professors were known as Readers. Those of you who did biology at UNZA must have come across a full professor in the Department of Biology was name I have deliberately omitted not to appear as if I want to embarrass him. But with the proliferation of PhD’s it is becoming increasingly difficult to become a professor based on scholarly work alone.

    • Her younger sister Chewe who is being confused with her, is already at the UNICEF and she too is a profess in pediatrics whilst Nkandu Luo is a professor in microbiology. The probability of continued ignorance in zambia is an eternity.

  43. Piti Full, indeed you are a Pity Fool. You mean yuou are happy with lies being told about you or anyone else? Lies from Zambian Imbwa day in and day out is the main activity they engage in and you suppport that sort of rubbish? What are you, an imbecile?

  44. In the U.S. college and university system, a Ph. D. holder who has been offered a tenure tract position begins as an Assistant Professor. He or she can be promoted to Associate Professor after five or six years upon meeting the requirements in three areas (teaching, scholarly activities and professional development, and service to the university/community). He or she may be promoted to Full Professor after six more years. Thus, professorship is an academic title in the U.S.

    • Yes ba Kasoma at MASSCOM. He loved his title that he would “skin you alive” if you called him Mr. Kasoma (may his soul rest in peace.

  45. Do you wonder why we are called Nyandule from bantustan? There you go. I was the first to be blocked yet I am closer to the them though I was born on Kopala and grew up there and never inhaled any fart from the cows.

    • ‘closer to them’? who are them? your fellow Zambians are now them? Yes being black is a curse. fighting each other, ” ati them.

  46. This piece of fossil must retire or run her business which she can’t. Seriously Mwe bafyashi retire milomo shenu for younger more nubile and intelligent. 

    Not this professor who rarely writes to defend her phd. Limbi phd is in AMA laptops or JK

  47. @4, Bwalya chiselema:

    Please don’t lie! The title of Professor does not end once you attain it! Are you telling me if a professor retires then the title stops to apply? Because you will lying if you say so! I know plenty of retired professors still being referred to by that title.

    Yes, some people do not really care whether they are called professor fimo fimo while still teaching in college or after leaving the profession. But that is a personal choice and not the norm. So if people still want to affectionately call a former college professor as PROFESSOR, there is no harm or a committee that says you can’t do that! By the way, what if professor Luo decides to go back to teaching or medical research, can you tell me a committee that will reinstate her professorship?

  48. @Bwalya chiselema:

    Look, it is like someone who attains the title of JUSTICE OF THE COURT (that is High/Supreme Court Judge), they still can be called by that title even after they leave the profession. Also it is “customary” to Address a former President as PRESIDENT so and so without qualifying it. And no one will prosecute you for it! This is done all the time, especially here in America. So if someone decides to refer to Professor Nkandu Luo as PROFESSOR, having attained that title through her teaching profession and research, they are within their right to do so and there is nothing wrong with it. You, Chiselema, may chose not to call her by that title and it is also OK!

  49. @Bwalya chiselema:

    I don’t think Professor Luo is insisting that she be addressed as PREFESSOR, so why castigate and insult her for it? You claim to be educated but your comments sometimes betrays you. It is quite primitive of you to unleash personal attacks on someone (let alone a mother, older woman, especially someone’s looks) instead of on the substance of what she has said. This MCP (Male Chauvinist Pig) syndrome should end. It is very sickening and disappointing especially coming from people who claim to be enlightened and educated. Anyway, no wonder there is a term: “EDUCATED F0@LS!”—and you my brother are very close to being one!

  50. Someone needs to close the gate we are getting too many stray nincompoop rabid dogs coming from the Zambian Watchpig yard!! kikikiki

  51. African Women love dead or other people’s body parts. Weaves everytime, try to maintain your own african hair you will see that you will look just fine.

    • Iwe naiwe ikalafye waumfwa! if you have nothing to say or you are brokeA*****s, leave tose with money do what they want with it and by the way, go F*****k the village girls you want ok? shut it pig!

  52. Reliable sources have really confirmed that madam Luo is frustrated due to her demotion that has led to her being in charge of witch doctors, makishi/nyau & denying her international trips because it is almost impossible for her to go out for tours or accompany the president.

  53. It is called conditioning and adapting or dying. MMD got into power based on a lie. PF got in based on a bigger lie. All that HH and team are doing is following in the footsteps of predecessors and one-upping them by telling a humongus pack of broiled basted, toasted, roasted, dried, fried and par boiled lies.

    It will work too.

    All they have to do is concoct lies for now and in year 4 get a ass kicking slogan like “donchi kubeba” with a 0977784614 tune.

    Hh will be in state house not repealing the public order act and firing all Bemba names he can find.
