  1. I knew it, studying law!!! Oh no. All Nigerians must be deported from zed the way Idi Amin did the asians. Twanaka nabo.

  2. This is what we have been saying, Nigas account for less than 1% of the population yet are invloved in more than 30% of all drug cases.
    That crack cocain they are selling in Zambia is the scurge of black youth in the western world.

  3. Aaaaala kabili! You Nigerians, please. we know you can be hard working but please, be clean. You have a bad name all over the world and you have to deal with that. Zambian ladies, learn something here. Another Zambian lady is in jail Singapore for trafficking drugs, used by one Nigerian guy again. But the seriousnes is that in Singapore if convicted, you face death penalty. You are lucky in Zambia we send you to Mukobeko and spend tax payers money on you. Come on! It hurts me!

  4. With the openning of Nigerian bank in Zambia it will be drug trafficking and money laundering everyday. The species of human beings must not be brought nearer. They have one system of engaging ladies in drug trafficking and our beautiful ladies are falling in that trap.

  5. I guess that Nigerian guy is in the advance party of the promised Nigerian investment in Zambia?

  6. NIPA is known for loose gals, now even drug traficking? shame. Clearly a reflection of a bigger national picture where desparate young people are exposed to vices in the name of money.

  7. I have insider information from a friend that the said girl is well known on the underground cocaine market. Selling a gram for K80,000. Very popular among middle and higher income youngsters.

  8. Zambia should be very careful about Nigerians coming into the country, whether as students or business people. The majority of Nigerians just can’t help themselves when it comes to illegal and criminal activities !

  9. Crack and cocaine a mash up de yute dem life, we nuh want dem cross we borderline. But if a canabis unnuh a chat, me bredren dem do weh dem do and sell weh dem sell fi survive, seen?

  10. One Zambian lady in nearby Singapore here is going to the gallows. She’s gonna be hanged. It was not long ago when another Zambian lady was executed in China. Isn’t that a lesson enough for you young Zambian ladies? Yaba!

  11. It’s so surprising as to how the biggest crack fiends never get arrested for example in Inter City Bus Terminus,there are drugs coming in and leaving the country under the watchful eye of blah blah,and jus in Northmead Residential area there is a famous house jus before you approach chilulu compound,where u would find so many car’s parked as if it is a party and yet all they do is puff on crack.Am sorry to say that our country’s next generation (25 and below) is going down the drain.Please ba DEC dont arrest a single mother of 6 for selling some balls of marijuana and you unfairly quantify it,arrest the big fish because i know you know them or at least you know one of them.

  12. Is Zambia very desperate for investors that they should allow Nigerians to come and open a bank. These guys are crooks everywhere they have gone.They are also con men so Zambia be careful you could be inviting trouble. They like quick money. They have conned a lot of women in the west.Send them to Mukobeko prison with hard labour.

  13. Here in london we move with all our document’s just becoz of the same nainai’s.At 19 i am 6years order than you and studing PR/LAW,my dear rich or poor,white or black,nainai or whatever and with my God on my side, no one will ever distract my studies.I feel sorry for your parent,s after all the effort’s then you just choose to disappoint them just like that,becoz of fast cash or whatever,ladies let’s be serious.

  14. Iye imwe olo kuno ni sochabe ma nigerians. Some are ok but as a lady I know better than to get involved with them after the stories ive heard. Shame for those who’ve been apprehended.

  15. I have been tellling our ladies to be careful with these nigerian men. They are crooks and the opening of their bank will bring more corruption in Zambia. Courts, give them 20 years imprisonment with hard labour.

  16. shame my dear at your age with such a bad record i wish you had thought of your parents coz they had a good plan for you than want you have just paid them back, mayo yeeee akulasanikwa imwe nalila ubulanda kuli ba fwashi bakwe imwe.

  17. Crack is wack! surely even 19yr olds know that? 9ja’s … its a shame these people are only known for drug trafficking, a crying shame.

  18. Dec should vist Nipa and Zicas,Nipa has become a prosititute den,recently one student undressed in daylight becoz of weed,shame on the young gal

  19. Female students from NIPA are well known for their illicit vices.Not long ago a good number of ladies were arrested for their involvement in PONORGRAPHIC activities.I wish you were also arrested in Singapore so that you are also sentenced to death or possibly hanged to serve as an example to other young ladies who are a loose cannon.shame on you.

  20. Ichalo chakwa RB chileya kwi? Bravo DEC mulebakaka ififine.
    Nomba naimwe ba ACC story K15m atishani? Mwalifolako naimwe so tamumfwile ati Lukukus life is in danger?

  21. Brenda u r a disgrace to yo family.Ba Lawyer found wth drugs? Shame on u! Its normal 4u NIPA gals bhaving like tht bt u r well known 4being marriage breakers even DRUGS? God help us.

  22. Aba ba mwisa pamo na ba chocholi ba ku china nabaleta imisango that are alien to our culture. is this what you would call investment?chilemoneka kwati twalibalekelesha.this culture they are cultivating in our society will in future erode the culture indentity of our countly.Ba IG AND YOUR TEAM KU DEC,can you make these bastards feel the weight of the law of the land. twanaka nabo.

  23. #13 birds of the same furthers flock together. how do you know that she deals in drugs if you are not part of the drug syndicate

  24. hashish is a medicinal drug. so please just release the guys they have done nothing wrong. after all mbanje is medicinal and allowed in most european countries.

  25. Right about now am tryna upload some porn to youtube as captured by pimpnamedslickback.tv. There are familiar faces in these videos. This is meant to ridicule them and bring them to disrepute.

    Will announce on this forum when am done. I’ll include NIPA, Hone and Unza in the file names so that whenever u type any of the three institutes you get them.

  26. I just pray they don’t invest in our country because they will just spoil our good country. True it will just be money laundering. In Swaziland their Bank was closed down because of that. These girls, Kanshi what really happens for them to be found with these drugs? Are they consiously aware that they are carrying the drugs or the man stacks it in their possesions without them knowing? When I was at school I never involved myself with boys or men, I wanted to be where I am and my mother is very proud of me because I never gave her problems.

  27. Mu Nigerian wabufi uyu. Ukumwikata ku Zed? Thought Nigerians were never caught. He probably refused ukubacekelako and kamisisi kalikonya ukukoca.lol!

  28. DEC Public Relations and Press Liaison Officer Rosten Chulu named the suspects as Moses Muzonga, Andrew Nyangu, Malita Nyirenda, Isaac Zulu, Pearson Kavani, Jane Nkhuwa, Rabson Tembo, Ken Chilufya.
    Do you see how united Zambians are even in wrong things?
    All tribes represented
    Then when it is presidential voting, issues of tribe becomes part of the agenda, Shame!

  29. We the people of Zambia have chosen to be ruled by a Kaponya.
    After all we the Kaponyas make the majority of Zambians.
    You will know us by our language.
    We have no fear.
    We can insult anytime.
    Our symbol is a clenched fist in the boat.
    We enjoy fighting.
    We have serios fights even in the boat.
    The other time 25 MPs were nicely beaten by the boss with a cigar and ran out of the boat.
    But I think some have come back hoping the boat crosses to the shore.

  30. These youngsters kwena, when will they ever learn? They shouldn’t even blame anyone but themselves. Naifwe nangu twalecita amawala mwati ni so? Someone said it before and this saying is still true: CRIME DOES NOT PAY!!!

  31. The chick should be hanged, and her b/friend linched. i dont give a damn whether you are 19, Zambian or Nigerian. you deserve the death penalty. and with elections looming we may not have a too kind president. Your days are numbered! Bom bye bye as buju would put it. The same goals for your HOMO’s as well

  32. #44 Kamongoche or whatever your name is, I no not where you are getting your info from. Nigeria never ever opened a bank in Swaziland. For your info, Access Bank Nig. Plc is one of the largest banks in Africa with a branch in the United Kingdom and all over West-Africa.It’s capital base is larger than all Zambian banks put together! It has been in existence for more than 20 years. You people on this site need to be serious and display some maturity.

  33. mwaiche brenda, amanayinayi bakubofya and baku tuuta iya chinayinayi with there big itwenu……..confused, you forget skool and indulge yoself in drugs, very stupid indeed. shame upon the ones who gave birth.

  34. Lets o close our eyes and pray! Mwe lesa, twafweni ukusala kateka, lekeni Abantu bonse muno muchalo tusale UBWATO ebwapuswishe abena NOAH, twisala ULUPIYA pantu Elwalile Yesu ifumu. Amen

  35. Zambians are really becoming “bad”. There is also a Zambian here in the states (Cleveland) who was sent to jail for “deliberately” infecting someone with HIV. Is that crazy or what?

  36. it is so sad really shameful for the family of brenda . honestly the love for material things has made most young ladies get involved in very shameful activities. watch out allthose of you eho admire ur friends who drive . with all due respec to those who work hard to buy cars others sleep with dogs to do it , others are busy selling drugs shame oooooo.

  37. Fellow blogers, A Zambia National Service staff seargent was involved in trafficking, read the article again. These pipo in uniform we are tired of them. Dont trust any kapokola in uniform, the other day on ZNBC News it was a police officer involved in stealing from Invest trustbank at Arcades. They ask for lifts at night at road blocks when they find you. Abusing authority. Beware of them, they are dangerous criminals.

  38. Brenda Mwila Chanda 19. Am not surprised coz this gal has been giving my collegues including me serious blow jobs and …………..
    Alishupa imwache uyu.

  39. #18 Pompi. Its not that we are desperate about bringing investors. It just shows the shallowness of the caliber of our leaders. I wont say much coz some pipo who signed papers or invited the Nigerian bank investors are no more.

  40. This gal is grenda mwila chanda, and she stays at the bedsitters PENSBY FLATS in Rhodes park along church road in lusaka. She has a number of boyfriends but her favorite is that nigeria dude reason that he has mone, drug cash……we ‘ll sure miss the drugs and blowjobs as she does her time in kamfinsa….
