RB woos Nigerian investors

Share

Zambia and Nigeria have agreed to strengthen bilateral relations in order to accelerate economic growth of the two countries.

Briefing the press soon after a closed door meeting held in Abuja this afternoon, President, Rupiah Banda, and his Nigerian counterpart, Umaru Musa Yar’ Adua acknowledged the need to coexist in the face of eminent global economic meltdown.

President Banda said a delegation of Nigerian business experts would, hence, visit Zambia to discuss agreements in various sectors of the Zambian economy, a development that could help reduce the country’s dependence on mining, which was yielding low profits due to declining Copper prices on the global market.

Mr Banda said he was proud that Nigeria was one of the few African countries that have invested in Zambia.

He expressed happiness that Access Bank of Nigeria has declared interest to open a branch in Zambia, a development that would significantly contribute to the growth of a viable financial sector in the country.

He was confident that more financial institutions from Nigeria would penetrate the Zambian financial market.

Mr. Banda also revealed that a major Nigerian cement manufacturing company had agreed to open a plant in Zambia.

Mr Banda also told journalists that Nigeria has agreed to help Zambia achieve crop diversification in agriculture by encouraging production cocoa and palm oil among other crops..

President Banda said he opted to commence his tour of duty with Nigeria because the west African country was among frontline states that immensely contributed to rhe liberation struggle of the African continent.

Mr Banda said Zambia was fortunate to have Nigeria as a partner in economic development.

“We have seen that your financial sector has established itself as one of the best financial sectors in Africa and your banks are recognised world-wide as some of those properly regulated and with the capacity to grow and help us. That’s one other reason we chose to come here first,” he said.

And Nigeria’s President, Umaru Musa Yar Adua, said the visit of President Banda, came at a time when more efforts were need by world leaders to discuss economic challenges that currently threaten the welfare of the peoples.

Mr Yar’Adua added that apart from economic development, he and president Banda discussed the socio-political situation in Africa, particularly that of Zimbabwe.

Mr Yar’Adua regretted the deteriorating humanitarian crisis that has led to a seemingly breakdown of negotiations in terms of implementation of the agreement in Zimbabwe.

He, however, said he was optimistic that one day the problems in Zimbabwe would be a thing of the past, adding that the Southern African Community, SADC, which was mandated by the African Union, AU, has made tremendous progress in trying to resolve the crisis in Zimbabwe.

He said SADC and AU should still be commended for having managed to broker the deal that resulted in the signing of a power-sharing agreement between President Robert Mugabe and opposition leader, Morgan Tsvangirai, which brought peace to that country.

President Yar’Adua, regretted that failure by the two parties to implement the agreement, adding that the issue stands on the disagreement on who should control sensitive ministries.

President Banda is this afternoon expected to return home.

  1. I will hug you at the airport RB. That is a huge achievement. You should also court Congele investors like Moses Katumbi. We also need Senegalese like Issa Galedo

  2. “President Banda said a delegation of Nigerian business experts would, hence, visit Zambia to discuss agreements in various sectors of the Zambian economy, a development that could help reduce the country’s dependence on mining, which was yielding low profits due to declining Copper prices on the global market.”

    Howcome their economy only riles on oil, and has been so for the past 20 yrs, without diversification. Can any one tell me what nigeria manufactures ?.
    How can pipo who have failed to develop them selves, despite vast oil wealth, develop Zambia ???

  3. RB is just looking for a sofisticated alogrithim to dupe GRZ, he saw what happened to FJT when he used a cheap formula from Accses Finance.

  4. “Mr Banda said he was proud that Nigeria was one of the few African countries that have invested in Zambia.”

    But where has Zambia invested in Africa or the whole world? How is the “proud” coming in here where we do not have anything we have invested elsewhere in that statement. I feel the Nigerian president is the one who should have said the statement our Zambian President RB Banda issued in the above qoute.

    Whats is the way forward on Zambia and Zambians investing elsewhere?

  5. Kudos to RB, we have to realise that the “west” no longer have the cash, so it’s time to diversify our begging portfolio.

  6. It is good that Mr Rupiah Banda is thinking of diversification of the economy.

    Let’s see what will come of this.

  7. This is another UNIP economic growth strategy. History is reaping itself.Kk brought the slippery amasenesene,and not only did they steal our precious stone but also went back with our beautiful women who they later abandoned and got stranded .And now RB has invited well known international criminals crooks to this country when other countries are warning their people to be extremely carefull when dealing with Nigerian .I really value foreign investment but not BLOOD money.

  8. Nigerians scare the hell out of me. Loud and rude as ever. They fit right in the gettos of the US. I cant even imagine having them as investors in our country. I can only pray for mama zambia.

  9. well done RB nigerians are doing far much better than zambia in all aspects of life currently ,zambians are a depressing bunch of self conceited good for nothing individuals always bragging, stealing,sleeping with babies and bragging about it, selling everything they have ,sitting in there chairs waiting for someone to do stuff for them,obstracting the course of justice,mocking others ,looking down on people you guys when we r not even worth a penny to start conderming these self respecting people who have worked hard to be were they are shameless bloggers tooth and nail to make a living whilst u sitted condeming WORK.

  10. #10 maestro for the second time since i started blogging , i agree with you! How can one be happy for allowing his neighbor to impregnate his wife? Crying shame! And have you seen? Hes gosipin about Zim! He is a two timing crocodile in a black mamba’s skin! We havent seen the last of his gosiping trips paid for in full by the hardworking taxpayers! Thanx ladies for paying tax!! Pliz i dnt want to be tribal today!!

  11. I wiped Nigeria on the African map right when i saw who the real su*ks they are when i was doing doing business in SA in the 90s. Over here, tried to have some business with me i can call sicky with their top lies but they got punked. From that moment, they have always hated me apart from others Zedians in the same city. These fu*ks are great are lying and they can handle chaps like RB and not me. Zed falling in the trap.

  12. I don’t know what’s wrong with this chap RB, does he the population of Nigeria in total and how many of them doing great jail time because of fake business deals. RB, your eyes glow but the sh*t is fu*ked.

  13. How can you have the worlds most corrupt cooutnry invest in your country. Nigerians have failed to develop themselves. I have been there just look at their infrastructure. Nonsense.

    This is a joke!

  14. It’s time to pray for Mother Zambia.God save our beloved country. We cry for Mother Zambia. Certain situations can only be resolved through prayer .

  15. #20
    Am a nigerian, married to a zambian man, all of the negative things you said about Zambia and zambians happen in Nigeria 3 times more than they do in zambia. Nigerians are hateful to foreigners and have no mercy. Am embarrased to be nigerian. Am glad our children are Zambian and we are going back when they get in college. Am not saying Zambia is the best place there is, 75% of the Zambians are decent and good people who have many times been screwed by their government. If zambia had abundant natural resourse as nigeria does,I believe zambia would be better by far. A zambian will choose a ligit option, while a nigerian is quick to choose an illegal one. AFRICA NEEDS TO FIGHT corruption.

  16. # 20. SHOCKING

    What have Nigerians done ? They have oil reserves maybe 5 or 6th in the world, yet look at their country. Nigerian economic refugees all over the world involved in selling drugs. What can a nigerian teach us apart from kelekaring.
    Again, tell me what is manufatured in Nigeria ?

  17. 10# I like your thinking, charity bigins at home. How do you expect others to help you when you can not help others.We shall continue begging investment from others. At least our man the one I can not mention for security reasons has some investment in Mauritious.Big people think big.

  18. I hope he doesn’t sell our country. Some countries I can never trust we can find ourselves “colonialised”. We are after all known to be docile.

  19. “21. Wafwa na panga, I am very humbled to read such ” #10 maestro for the second time since i started blogging , i agree with you! How can one be happy for allowing his neighbor to impregnate his wife” noble words from you.

    I know what, we can disagree on some points, but let us appreciate when objectiveness takes effect. I promise you that I stand by my words and I will always try my best to give an independent objective view of scenarios as I perceive them. Have a great day.

  20. #33. VILLAGE CONCEPT, mucwani? Thanks and keep well. Zambians need to stand up as REAL investors. We are tired of looking up to others for help. Why cant we also be accorded incentives that level the investment playing field with foreigners?

    To all that will set your eyes on this, Zambia will only be developed by Zambian Investors and Citizens not foreigners. Let us be entrepreneurs even of simple small businesses that can be made competitive by good GRZ policies and access to loans. Take a left from South Africa’s way of financing its Citizens through Banks.

  21. Ladies and gentlemen, surely, how can the entire president of the nation, RB, be convinced that a Nigerian can improve Zambia,s economy. Nigerians have lamentably failed to run the oil industry. They’re unable to refine their own crude oil because of disunity in the nation. Their own refinery is in bad shape. They export crude oil abroad and later buy the resulting finished products. And RB wants them. Elo lwanya nomba.

    Bushe kanshi, ba economic adviser balikwi. Bakabolala bafuka mu Zed. Zambian will know pistols and the rest coz thats what Nigerians will bring. These guys have no mercy

  22. Nigerians are crooks,these people forge documents like hell,they will manipulate our little resources,please lets try to guard what we have jealously,really zambia is in a mess.

  23. #38,ka maestro alwaz blogging even when your are bogging yashani kanshi,ni first time ba guy pa net,never used to see your comments sometime back,tusha,pantu walatulusha.

  24. Guys, let RB go back to the farm coz what he has started will take us back to 1964.I mean what has Nigeria got to offer Zambia? Its a country full of cruks. Maiwe!Look at how they have messed up town center interms dominating zambians over the running of those shops! Now that its official due to RB’s invitation of nigerians, kaya!

  25. 38# Lwapila hande kwanu kwa hae kwa Kitwe. We are recruiting members on CB, adverts have running in Times for new members to take various positions at grass root level to start strengthen our might party. We hope to get men youths & womem who will carry the banner until 2011 when victory will be won. Keep well and come home so that we can join the winning team. Good nite

  26. Strategy ya nyama soya is failing me. Can’t the man formulate his own strategy apart from going to ask for salt from our brodas in Nigerians whom even there education leaves much to be desired? If RB claims to be an economist has he forgotten about comparative advantage? What RB should do is not invite those crooked Nigerians but take advantage of their population to increase exports of beef by Zambeef and other companies. RB get rid of Foot & Mouth disease in Zed so we can also export to Congo. We are strategically located to export beef to Congo cheaply and cut that beef Congo DR imports from Brazil. We can also export the skin hides to Italy, France etc.

  27. #46, It depends which school you went to and how you apply that knowledge.You think RB can think like that. I doubt it. When you have exceeded retirement age even thinking becomes retired.You can forgive him he is retiring in state house for 3 years.

  28. #45. VILLAGE CONCEPT, litumezi on “38# Lwapila hande kwanu kwa hae kwa Kitwe. We are recruiting members on CB, adverts have running in Times for new members to take various positions at grass root level to start strengthen our might party. We hope to get men youths & womem who will carry the banner until 2011 when victory will be won. Keep well and come home so that we can join the winning team. Good nite.”
    This is good progress for the mighty UPND – the real winning TEAM to-be in the 2011 tripatite elections. We UPND manisfesto supporters need to make sure all is in place before the election time. Let us utilize the Times and Daily Mail Newspapers by giving them business too.

  29. #50 continued. We need to bring Muvitv on board too for viewers in Lusaka. We also have to set up a TV broadcasting cooperation in both Luapula and Northern Provinces. We need to put up community radio stations in Eastern province. We need our own Newspapers in Copperbelt and Central Provinces. We need to put up Internet Cafés in Southern, Northwestern and Western Provinces where access to Citizens must be free on every Sundays eacch person for 30 minutes.

    I am coming to Zambia next year and will make sure I open some companies and advertise heavily thru social community programs. Indeed the winning 2011 TEAM is on course. Together, YES we all Zambians shall do it come 2011.

  30. That’s why we need to advocate for Dual Citizenship. Zambians in diaspora who now have foreign citizenship would be far much better to invest in Zambia by taking advantage of the financial resources,exposure ,machinery and equipment from the developed countries. Secondly also empowering local investors would take the country many steps forward. God bless Zambia.

  31. I no longer support UPND seeing that my candidate HH will not be standing in 2011. As per UPND constitution, a person can only stand for the UPND for two elections.

    HH represented UPND for the 2006 and the just ended by election. Unless UPND gets a candidate as suitable as HH or even better, it leaves much to be desired without HH.

  32. Nigerian what? Investors! Indeed God help mother Zambia. Now all you Zambian tycoons who have money in your banks or else where, you should learn the Nigerian way of wiring money or sweeping bank accounts. These guys are bad and very intelligent, by the time Zambia will wake up all the money and other ventures would have been taken to Nigeria. RB please think.

  33. #38. Maestro Hhehhehhehhe

    “To all that will set your eyes on this, Zambia will only be developed by Zambian Investors and Citizens not foreigners. Let us be entrepreneurs even of simple small businesses that can be made competitive by good GRZ policies and access to loans.”

    That is true but to invest, you also need a good line of credit. Zimbabwean companies are failing because they lack credit and foreign currency. Farming accounted for about 60% of all foreign reserve earnings. Nobody wants to be paid in Zim dollar, they want US dollar or the petro dollar if you like. Zambia needs those reserves, if it does not have good foreign reserves, [tbc

  34. cont from #57]

    thinking of empowering Zambians will be asinine. To get machinery and many inputs, you need an internationally reckognised currency like the Petro Dollar (US DOLLAR), EURO or YEN.

    Zambia does not have that many reserves which is why it is looking for investors to come in because investors come with their own foreign currency.

    That’s the way I see it at least.

  35. 54# Free Market, this year’s election does not count it was by election, because of Death. Continue the spirit good things are comining. The problem is that we allowed HH to do the work alone. Now we shall all participate and results will be much better. Never say die brother the battle has just started. Wina other lila

  36. #63, Mwiinga of Lusaka is missing in action. May be topics are boring for him he will wake up when he will be touched by the fact that we miss him on the blog.

  37. #57. Free-Market-Capitlst, true. As #59. VILLAGE CONCEPT has mentioned, all is in the right track. I only hope the good Lord will continue blessing us with life. Also, remember that president HH is doing his first term as the UPND president and he has a chance of winning its president again in the next General AS SEMBLY (Convention) for the UPND. He can still be allowed to contest the Zambian Presidency in 2011 as a UPND presidential candidate even if he may not necessarily be its president. A TEAM is coming together to ensure that the 2011 elections will find us prepared for the best election result we will see, by God’s grace.
    #62. VILLAGE CONCEPT, thanks, let us do it to the best.

  38. 60# RB see on the photo how do you smile while your freind looks serious like that? Your freind looks like HH who does not smile he is a serious man.

  39. How in the world can you invite Nigerians to invest in Zambia, unless you are part of the deal to increase corruption expenentially in Zambia. These people have scams world over, what can you copy from Nigeria maybe football!! Who’s advising RB. You guys should serious with developmental issues.I know alot of educated people in Zambia with effective tools of analysis to help us avoid that pitfall. This is 2008 going into 2009, are you sleeping or what!!. Namupena,okoo?? Just maintain bilateral relations.

  40. African countries must unite fi fight against de economic Tsunami from de west weh soon go sweep thru’ we motherland. Jah save us!

  41. What a way to kick-start his presidency!! Did he dream about Nigeria or was he forced by his young wife? However he arrived at this decision, it does not bode well for our country. Nigerians are bad ( sorry to the few decent ones)and RB has started something he will never comprehend & manage. What #30 (Abbimbola) has said on this thread is a true reflection of what to expect from these guys. If this bilateral thing comes to fruition, expect people’s torsos and heads at a table near you soon!! This ain’t a joke! Rethink Mr Presido or else we are FINISHED as a nation!!

  42. Nigeria’s national interests is clearly above the interests of individuals or political group, so how do allow them to invest in Zambia. The reason is because of special interest within the political guys on the highway to great corruption. What a total mess in Zed.

  43. Barack Obama said he hoped to bring about “a return to an ethic of responsibility”. He criticised executives for flying corporate jets to Washington to ask for funding. The incoming president also urged bankers to forego end-of-year bonuses with millions struggling in the economic crisis

  44. It is bad enough to have Nigerians come and start up banks in Zambia, but for our president to go and invite them as investors is unbelievable! haven’t we had enough from senegalese and Malians? doesn’t this president have advisers what is there to learn from Nigeria apart from corruption!

  45. Some peopel on this blog seem to have got there facts wrong atually i did research just a few months back and Nigeria dispite the reputation of its people is one of the fastest growing economies in africa ie telecomes and the likes.
    Wait and see wht comes out of this befor you write your unpritables it might just be a good deal considering that oil is a possibility in Zambia. We can always learn from there mistakes and improve on it.

  46. #3, how do you expect Sata to smile with that great dental formula and that good breath? Ba Sata is something else. He is a funny smelly old man!!

  47. I am back and have seen that RB is really using his diplomatic skills. But Nigeria is not the best place for most honest Zambians. We may end up being conned while walking because Nigerians are super crooks. Open your eyes. Our women in London often cry after short stints with Nigerian men who promise heaven on earth and never deliver a chewing gum.

  48. Zambia twasebana, were was this RB when Issa Kaledu swindled people in Kitwe and government itself? Don’t have enough Nigerians and Amasenesene? What can we get from those “loud-dog-eating” people, apart from drugs, prostitution and those “play circle” movies?
    Of all countries sure your RB choose Nigeria for his first visit. What a corrupt thing you have given our children!! Zambia twasebana!!

  49. RB you are an Economist you should understand issues

    Just by associating more with the Nigerians , the Premium Risk of Investment will increase. In case you are not aware ,Zambia is one of the waste Investment detination ranked according to the premium risk.It is even worse than some countries in civil war and MMD have been boasting of attracting FDIs, what a joke!!!

  50. From this meeting zambains should confirme that Banda is a risk president to zambia.Nigeria has nothing to offer to zambia.The counrty is not stable.the leaders are as self as RB himself.Tanzania is even better.

  51. Zambia intestors

    One blogger put it this way 100 Zambians put $5000 a piece and that a wopping $500000 capital investment in a mid size business in Zambia. Zambia as a merging market an intial investment of 5000 dollars posses little risk but has a potential for great benefit even if one is a silent partner. Zambians it is only when we put our resources together form partnership and move our country forward.
    I worked of Bank One now JP Morgan Chase ask them they will tell you about the Nigerian fraud.

  52. For a new presido always the first trip is strategic and very worthwhile,but nigeria of all countries. Something fishy no wonder closed door meeting, RB is trying to desparatetly learn something from nigerians for himself not for zedians. Whatch him carefuly.

  53. #84, I also wonder why choosing Nigeria among all countries. What has Nigeria achieved in their own history. Its time we need to look at other alternative investments apart from mining and Nigeria has nothing to offer us. Its like Government fail to understand how investors continue cheating them. Who doesn’t know that Access bank is coming because of the Dakota group’s plans to open a large cement company. Its one way of channeling their money back to Nigeria and our president is busy calling that investment. I think come 2011, Zambia will witness a historical presidential and parliamentary campaign.

  54. RB is a crook why nigerians those crooks who are not want throught out the world you want them to come and steal from Zambian people tawakwata no luse. This country is not yours to sell to crooks like nigerians. We rejected you on CB,LSK,LP and NP.

  55. He should have gone to south africa for God sake.#30 you don’t sound nagerian in any sense but i will take your word for it.

  56. #77 i dont understand your generator! We all have agreed somehow that this trip is not good for the country in anyway and then you run your mouth on sata! You are the odd one out mwaice, use your generator for the benefit of your country,no hate speech today pliz! Viva PF!

  57. People dont be so naive – Nigeria is loaded and has a much larger manufacturing base than Zed will ever have. In fact its the engine for Africa’s growth NOT RSA. The Nigerians are coming. Its rumored that about 75% of RB campaign was financed by a Nigerian consortium looking to do different things in Zambia. The funding was organised through the “usual suspects (excluding HH – of course). They basically have RB in the pocket…watch this space for legislation being changed to facilitate for Nigerian investment. The first in line is the change to the Industrial Minerals Act so that Dangote can set up his cement factory.

  58. I suspected the ONLY reason RB went to Nigeria is to strike an OIL DEAL. That is the only thing good thing we get from that country.

    Who needs nigerian infestors/investors to come in Zambia?? The only guy who know how to manage a nigerian is a nigerian him/herself. American, chinese and British including RSA have failed to tame this African clan. They will come and take over everthing including parliamenatry seat….

    RB I say again.. DON’T make Zambians look cheap… First you accepted to be received by a junior niger minister.. them you’re inviting scan prone ‘infestors’. Stop this nonsense!

  59. I do agree with # 14 and 17. Nigerians are sophisticated and hoodwinking in their dealings.I even shudder and wince at the sight of their Bank in Cairo Road. (Access Bank). Fili uko tuleya… Lesa fye umwine…

  60. I am looking forward to open an account with ACCESS BANK and to buy the cement from the DAKONTE GROUP.

    It will help deal with Zambia’s cement shortage.

  61. Definatly not Access Bank, other investments yes, don’t trust the Nigerians with our money, these chaps are tricky stars.When you bank so much money with them, one they will just wake up and close the bank and go back to Nigeria richer. There is NO WESTERN UNION in SA because of these same croks.

  62. I challenge anybody to provide evidence that ACCESS BANK has ever been in a scandal.

    ACCESS BANK also operates in the UK and no stories of scandals. Provide evidence that ACCESS BANK will fraud the Zambian People.

  63. I WONDER IF OUR PRESIDENT HAS EVER MET THE LOCAL INVESTORS.WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO N/W RAILWAYS ?.AS MUCH AS WE WOULD WANT FOREIGN INVESTOR I THINK ITS TIME WE STARTED ENCOURAGING OUR OWN.MR PRESIDENT WHEN YOU COME I SUGGEST YOU MEET OUR LOCAL INVESTORS IF YOU HAVEN’T.

  64. Access Bank is a fantastic African story – a bank run and owned by young African entrepreneurs with more cash than it needs. They definitely have all my support and will do very well in Zed as long as the Zedians dont reap them off. Already the “usual suspects” have failed to cough the funds for the 25% shareholding, just running around for a free lunch and board seats. Real Shame…

  65. Access channelled all the donations from Niga into Zed (RB didnt even spend all of it). Story is right loads of Nigerians are coming: 3 more banks, TV and radio, modeling agencies (lock up your daughters), cement, sugar, mining and….419s!

  66. We need candid and viable investors in Zambia whom we can benefit from.We don’t want those investors that come with a cluster of their own workers and /or those that pay scanty stipends to fellow Zambian workers! A chi Big NOOOOO!!!

  67. “No longer at easy” by Chinua Achebe. “If you want to eat a told you must look for a fatty and juicy one”.Money Banda Nigerians are crooks.

  68. Watch out for these pipo. they are a full package… investment on one side and corruption in the other… I say make VISA requirements for these people extremely hard.

  69. Bloggers well spoken!! Zambia can ONLY be developed by us Zambians.My observation is we have very wrong people managing our country.Why do we always settle for poor deals for our beloved country?
    I was once part of the meeting our late president held with Zambian business men in JHB. The man clearly indicated that he had no confidence in us as business men.And they sold entities like mines to people who borrowed money from SA banks for the purchases which can be done by Zambians.

  70. No 6 KC
    Good point. These guys have have failed to managed them selves.

    I have spent most of my time in Nigeria, there is nothing much to talk about. For example, you can not win an election of a governor or senator in Nigeria unless you have a ‘godfater.’ There have been instances where some thugs would just come and get the ballots boxes from a polling station and later return them. And elections are declared free and fair.

    They are lucky they have oil. Maybe its Zambia put much effort in oil exploration.

    RB, Nigerian Investors?? You are embarassing us as a nation pliz pliz!!!

  71. LT, kindly advise Zamnet to stop putting scaring pictures on the front page of the website as our children cant sleep well. Zed pipo, only check what am talking about. If ur child has not yet seen it, please, advise them not to open Zamnet website not until its updated to something new.

  72. Mr Banda also told journalists that Nigeria has agreed to help Zambia achieve crop diversification in agriculture by encouraging production cocoa and palm oil among other crops..

    Mr President incase you dont know, Nigeria capitalised on the problems in Zimbabwe by extending invitation to its white commercial farmer by giving the land for farming purposes. And now you want to learn from Nigeria, what a shame Mr President.

    If you are interested, I am willing to be one of your adviser for free.

  73. Recieved by a Junior Minister?,Using a Presidential Jet for such Nonsence?.And your Host is not even concerned that you have visited.What happiness can you get from Nigerian Investment?.Why not encourage local people to put their moneys together and establish a company which U want Nigerians to run?.Maybe you just wanted a ride in that Presidential Jet.

  74. cant wait for a day when a president from anther country will come to lure investor from zambia.we need enconomic independence,lets also invest in other countries,let finance bank,natsave,zanaco go beyond the zambian boarders.if not mistaken i think we had zanaco in london some time back.

  75. Dear Zambians google THIS DAY and PUNCH. These are two Nigerian Dailies. Their identical headlines are: ‘Zambia seeks assistant from Nigeria!’ Countrymen this is embarrasing. RB should just stay home and not hop around basket cases asking for assistance.RB both Zambia and Nigeria have the same per capita income ($900). Copper prices have gone down so have oil prices. Nigerians cannot feed themselves. They import Beef, wheat, Maize,Eggs etc. So RB stop this nonsense and just come back home.

  76. #119

    is it true or….

    What an embarassment! RB Amano tesana. Am sure he did ask for assistance!But from Nigeria of all countries? Even SA sounds better. Can someone arrange for his excellency’s immediate return before things get out of hand?

  77. It is very clear that GRZ and RB have no plan/strategy as to which investors we want. Hence this verbal diaherra by any GRZ Official including RB.

    I have not been too critical of RB on amny issues, but this uncontrolled begging pisses me off big TIME!!!

    Do have even the so called Advisers in GRZ!??. Just because you want FDI does not mean every countries you go to you must ask for ‘investors’ to come and help..

    Why not promote Zambia’s intelluctaul capacity, zambian businesses outside..

  78. Fellow bloggers,

    In case some of you didn’t read yesterday’s Kalaki’s Corner on exam leakages in zed, let me relive it. I found his argument most appealing and believe can give us food for thought.

  79. Continued..

    Examinations in zed have lost meaning for the vast majority especially in the cities. All that matters at the moment is for one to have money and they are assured of clean grade 12 results. Our education system promotes only education for the rich. They are the ones that will continue to succeed with education because they can afford to buy the examination papers (leakages) before hand, pass with distinctions and go to UNZA and still manage to pay the fees at the university

  80. Continued….

    For the poor, their hard work at school is useless since they can’t do better than those who use leakages and further they can’t even afford to pay the fees at the university even if they pass so it’s no use promoting their education.

    This situation is very good because the rich must continue to be rich. You cannot expect a Minister’s child to train to become a plumber and a plumber’s child to train to become a Minister. It’s that simple. Times have changed in Zed and anyone who doesn’t accept this is living in the past.

  81. OH DEAR GOD, DID YOU SAY NIGERIA? THAT DUMMY DOES NOT NEED A UNIVERSITY DEGREE TO FIGURE IT OUT THAT NIGERIANS ARE NOT TO BE MESSED WITH. I JUST GOT SICK TO MY STOMACH, I NEED TO GO THROW UP.

  82. Wait till we are all conned by those nolly-something. I didn’t realise how sleepy that Bwezani is until now. He waited all along to come out of his cacoon of fear after the swearing in only to head to Abuja in a bid to ‘woo’ investors! What a sleeping joker

  83. Of all places on earth why Nigeria? Nyama soya should have done better to go to African countries like Botswana or South Africa which are prosperous and not a country full of conmen!

  84. well i think this is a good thing RB has done,it will strengthen our bilateral relations with the oil producing country like Nigeria

  85. I hear there is a Nigerian bank now in Zambia! Nigerians are synonymous to fraud and forgery. There are numerous stories of internet fraud where unsuspecting internet users are informed that they have won millions of dollars in some internet raffle and they are to provide their bank details or that they should pay some money towards administration costs in order to claim the said prize money only to be defrauded of their hard earned cash one way or the other. I shudder to imagine what these Nigerians will do to our fragile economy! Agreed, not all of them are conmen but most of them like short cuts and unethical deals.

  86. ‘Zambia leans on Nigeria for assistance’ another headline in the French publication AFRICAN NEWS SOCIETY. I am embarrased. Where is RB’s sense of decency? For a country of 140 million Nigeria does not have a national electricity grid. their total installed electricity generating capacity is the same as Zambia’s with a 11 million people. their first ever commercial crop farm was setup by a displaced Zimbabwean farmer in 2004. Zambeef runs their first ever modern butchery. Honestly we have more to teach them than the other way round. RB you are an emba
    embarrassment to zambia!

  87. #142 Baby C think of it. Nyama Soya goes all the way to Nigeria seeking, I beg to corrected, that liquid we call oil. Next here, we have Angola. What’s wrong with our politicians? Baby C, musesele alatumpa!

  88. did you read yesterdays news that a Nigerian wants to build a mini city in Lusaka’s Palabana? that will be a city full of Nigerians. How can a Nigerian come and build us a city? Who will control it? god save Zambia.

  89. stop crying about RB, no point now its too late.i told you so. men, he this useless useless beyond comprehension!!!! the man is over 70 years, what idea is he gona bring to the country?? he is just after his pension. the world should be laughing at moter zambia

  90. I totally agree with # 99 Shushushu over Ba RB first meeting with local investors before wasting money flying to Nigeria. North Western Railways Limited should be given the go ahead to construct that Railway line so that we can import Oil from Angola and this will definitely reduce the prices of essentials. Whats the point of going to Nigeria to look for investors when back home the same investors want to lay off workers citing the low copper prices on the world market. Ba RB is behaving like that bird that buries its head in the sand devoid of the harsh realities on the ground.

  91. just checking!

    You are right.Im still wondering why he picked on Nigeria. oh got it! You know, RB is a fan of nigerian movies and rumour has it there beautiful ladies there.so i bet he went looking for another sweet chick to….know what i mean?

  92. I am yet to come across any person that trusts Nigerians!

    Nigeria is the most confused rich country in Africa. Most corrupt and unable to develop their own country. With the money they have, they are an embarrassment to Africa.

  93. I dont believe Nyama Soya went to socilit fro business in Nigeria. My suspicion is that he went to look for a n’ganga wa mukulu or to see so-called prophets to consolidate his hold on power. Is that some powder am seeing on his face? What happened to the Chipata gun powder he smeared on his face at MICC? Maybe it is impotent compared to KK and Chiluba’s muti.

  94. Nyama soya is useless what economic indicators has he achieved to start wooing investors.This is a measure to assess the nature of investment that a country would nid,not anythg.This guy is a joker how can you smile when you have nt done anythg.Nigerians are crooks &they are fond forging papers.We had a lecturer at CBU who was called Dr.bt he didnt have papers he was chased.God help mother Zed.

  95. I dont believe Nyama Soya went to socilit for business in Nigeria. My suspicion is that he went to look for a n’ganga wa mukulu or to see so-called prophets to consolidate his hold on power. Is that some powder am seeing on his face? What happened to the Chipata gun powder he smeared on his face at MICC? Maybe it is impotent compared to KK and Chiluba’s muti. I think he also needs something to cure his sleeping sickness otherwise our economy will collapse. Did he take his sweet 16 with him?

  96. Poor zambia,crying over spilled milk is all you know.Where were you when ushering this 419 advocate? zambians we are for a rude shock this man doesnt know anything about ruling he is using guess work.how can he pick on nigeria when even in SA nigerians are condemned shame on you Nyama Soya.Apa wapona tulekulolela!

  97. Talking about exams, I don’t understand why we are even discussing this. The exam system in Zambia is non existance. If the walls of the exam council are falling what do you expect with exams.

  98. they will invest in teaching innocent zambians the art of scam 419.send out 100,000 emails if you get one to respond you are made.what is rb thinking?

  99. You are busy speaking ill of the Nigerians, yet we know that even in London where you are the Nigerians are doing better than you. All you know as Zambians is to exhibit those fake accents and do all sorts of odd jobs such as polishishing apples and avocados at sainsburys and lifting beds and couches for people who are shifting.All the time your friends the Nigerians are getting very educated and challenging the Muzungus at their own game. And living it big. While you after blogging you will quietly walk to your shared apartment to choose the choiciest sleeping position next to internal heater.

  100. Hey, leave RB alone. Don’t you know that his intials RB stand for ‘Rotten Brain’? he only wants to invite the ‘419 investors’ to come and also chop the little resources we have remained with. What a president we have!!!

  101. I wish to comment on Direct foreign investment (DFI) and its role in any economy. I wish to state here that while i agree that the development of any economy has to do with its nationals it will be sucidal to imply that Zambia does not need DFI. Any third world country like Zambia desparately needs DFI for its footing. There are many reasons why we need DFI; among them is the issue of capital and forex. Until we reach a level where we can imbark and manage serious capital projects with our own resources we will continue to be in desparate need of the forein investment. Now, of course to think that foreign investors have in mind to develop our country is deadly. We must develop profitable pol

  102. Am so wary of Nigerians am even afraid to step into their all new Access bank. Am not xenophobic but Nigerian infestors, more like crooks. awe mwe.

  103. But where is RB’s agbada or whatever they call the Nigeria gear. I thought that was tradition to have him clad in something like that. Or are we yet to see in dress as such?

  104. Nigerians are worst scammers on these earth? i would not put my saving in access bank of nigeria…wina azalila mark my word. we have enough theives in our government, please save us the trouble! we do not the foreign theives. God help us.

  105. # 161…is your father nigerian. you need to understand the history first youngman. zambian started migrating in masses around 1992, when chiluba and his stoogies spoilt our economy. the nigerians started migrating as early as 1975 as their goverment has been and still is full of scandals….kuluma ndalama! it takes time to settle in a foreign land. are you aware the nigerian government is still looking three ministers that made off the budget allocation meant for their respective ministries? not kuluma where you leave some in the coffers…kuluma the whole amount. you still have a long way to go mwaiche…keep listen to your mampi and mozegatta songs! let big people discuss real issues.

  106. Right now there is a riot in Jos, one of the major town in Nigeria, just because one candidte lost a Governorship election. The town is on fire, people are fighting!!

    Is that a country where u are seeking help RB surely????????,
    Pliz pliz pliz RB dont bring Zambia into disrepute??? The Nigerians are failing to govern themselves ???? what investment will they broing in the country, raping women, frauad, fighting and robbery?. Am disappoint with you Mr president, for time, i dont feel proud to be Zambian bcoz of RB.

  107. Its funny how you Zambians keep whining and grumbling about Nigerians. The average Nigerian has no interest in Zambia whatsoever. They don’t care about Zambia nor have any opinion about Zambians; good or bad apart from the HIV thing. Just as Zambians in this forum describe all Nigerians as crooks and scam artists, Nigerians think of all Zambians as being HIV positive.

  108. 100 Zambians can put $5000 dollars and that will bring $500,000 dollars enough capital to start a mid sized company in Zambia owned by Zambians

  110. #171 Wecipubawe. Isn`t there HIV in Nigeria? You scam! You must be one of these girls living with one of them. Ask him why he has never taken you to Nigeria in the mean time he goes every 4 months!

  111. These folks in Government are running out of ideas. Zambia has enough money they can collect in form of tax from the informal sector and small businesses than going to Nigeria.

    I am sure if they formulate a tax policy that enables every Zambian to declare their income and taxed based on what they earn, they can raise whatever monies they are asking from another 3rd world country.

    But they have failed to formulate a tax policy together with ZRA that would work. You have Chinondo’s in Zambia that never pay a dime and there you are taxing the 3M employed. What a shame!!And you want us to call ourselves proud Zambians. We love our roots but many times these same guys have failed us.

  112. ?????????????

  113. This is really crap coming from RB, Nigerians are the most corrupt creatures on earth, come on RB Zambia can do btr than this!!! Even Satan complains about the Nigerians in hell!!!

    RB U are as good as packed for 2011

  114. #154 hey you are so right i remember that fake lecturer at CBU in School of Technology, Dr Ogwebu (or something like that), the basturd did not even have a first degree………..man does this RB know what the hell hes doing?

  115. Nigerians are crooks, the can’t even help themselves. How can they help the Zedian economy. Becoz RB was unip before, that’s why his thinking is very backwards. The Zambian in Nigeria should wake up too.

  116. All you can do is just let may China do their thing in Zed, not India. But, i just can’t get it as to why Nigeria came up?

  117. Each Zambian president comes with new wave.The problems comes in implementation. This time we get exposed to eye openners. This will not pass without educating zambians one or two things. More that the Mines and the economy is in the hands of greed indians. Nei Neis will give us formulae

  118. Zambians we should bring in Pastor Benny Inn to interven. He knows them well. They organise a church meeting. When looks to left he loses $2m on the right.

  119. Nigerians are the most “CROOKS” and “CORRUPT” in the whole world. They are known world wide. By the time Zambians realise, these so called “Investors” had disappeared in thin air. We have lived with them. Niba Kalulu tabapuswa mitushimi.”Nigerians in scams, fake passports, fake certificates/diplomas/degrees, illegal employers, phone jakers,illegal immigrants, swindles,fake marriages…the list is endless.

    In the UK, Nigerians find it difficult even to open an account with the Banks, they do not trust them!!

    ZAMBIANS, DO NOT TRUST NIGERIANS AND DO NOT ACCEPT THEM. OPEN YOUR EYES AND EARS WIDE. Take them with a pinch of salt!!!

  120. The ignorance exhibited here is astonishing. Lol. Don’t worry. Keep on inviting the Chinese, they will continue to turn you guys to slaves in your own land. Your president knows better for coming to ask for Nigeria’s assistance. As for not been able to manage our resources, may be you can teach us how you managed the wealth you made during the copper boom yrs.

  121. THEY GOT ISSUES, THESE NIGERIANS. THEY ARE WELCOME IN ZED
    Mobs burned homes, churches and mosques Saturday in a second day of riots, as the death toll rose to more than 300 in the worst sectarian violence in Africa’s most populous nation in years.

    Sheikh Khalid Abubakar, the imam at the city’s main mosque, said more than 300 dead bodies were brought there on Saturday alone and 183 could be seen laying near the building waiting to be interred.

  122. #193, YOU GUY GOT ISSUES. YOU OIL AND YOU SU*KERS JUST KEEP ON FIGHTING OVER THAT WEALTHY WHICH IS NOT WORTH ANYTHING YOU ARE OVER POPULATED AND IGNORANT.

  123. #196 Nigerians are too much all over the world because their fake economy can not contain them, thats’ why the lie too about their achievements. All the Nigerians i have mate tells me that they got a Bachelor Degree or A Master’s degree whist the can not even pass an easy American English exam. You to your fellow Nigerians especially you #196. Stay out of way, i don’t talk to scammers in everything. I can prove but will never have time for you a member of scammers.

  124. #196, you Nigerians always want to wake up and hustle by even stealing from Africans who know your fake ideas. Your fellow Nigerians tried with me but they failed and got shocked. You guys got poverty and only those who have no knowledge about Nigeria will think it’s a place to count on.

  125. #197 and 198. I understand your feelings. We have a proverb in my place that goes ‘a man living in a clay and thatched roof house but claims that he prefers it to a brick house because a brick house is always hot. The fact is that he cannot afford it’. At any point in time there are more than 2 million students in Nigerian universities…that is about 20 percent of the Zambian population (about 11 million). In the USA, UK, Canada, Germany etc there are also tens of thousands of Nigerian students there too. In my university here in Texas we have a large community. So you shouldn’t be surprised that you meet a lot of Nigerian degree holders. It only proves that we are not ur match

  126. There is poverty in Nigeria. I am not denying the fact. But a Zambian shouldn’t tell a Nigerian that. I just read about your country now and wish to express my sympathy. Charity and foreign aid (not investment) plays a very important role in your economy. The UN says about 57 percent of Nigerians are poor, which means 43 per cent (over 60 million are above poverty level which is more than 5 times the population of Zambia.You have just two universities for 11 million people. No wonder you are surprised to see Nigerians with degrees. May be I should let you know that as far back as the 1920s we already have a lot of graduates in Nigeria, even before independence we have millionaires etc.

  127. So don’t be intimidated when you see so many Nigerians with degrees. It is not new. Even in America here Nigerians are seen as high flyers. Like you said earlier, find solace in the fact that over fifty percent of Nigerians live below poverty…and at the same time give honor to whom honor is due. As for Nigerians been all over the world, I think you should understand that it is a sign of greatness. If you are doubting then ask the Americans, the British`, the Indians, the Chinese, the Jews, (or the Greeks, Persians and Romans of old) what they are (were) doing outside their country and been everywhere. May be it is because their fake economy cannot sustain them. Again, wake up and hustle

  128. #199. Yes we can not match with scammers. Population of 150 million, your comparison is very unpreceded. If your Math is good, go with the ratio, ok. You missed how how am feeling for you guys. In order for you to help someone, you have to be secured. If you and your friend got something in your eyes at almost the same time, and you want to help your friend remove some particles in your friend’s eyes. You will need to first clear yours so that you can see and help your friend. If you know the GDP of your country, and the polices that Nigeria use to supply money and credit, then you should be able to understand me. But you won’t and i’ve know you guys in SA. So open your eyes properly.

  129. I can not be intimidated by someone from Nigeria who say i got a masters degree and couldn’t write a composition and yet i just had an associate in Zambia before i did some education doing great.

  130. ##199, 200, 201,I will never accept a Nigerian because of who they are. There is nothing like we Zambian should WAKEUP and HUSTLE, for what to become a scammer, failing to open a bank account, fake certificates diplomas degrees, and just about doing things illegally. Open your mind, actually you know the truths that the all world knows.

  131. Kupix, you are a troubled man. I am not talking to Zambians as a country, I am talking to you in particular. I was only countering your point. I am not as myopic as you to lump all Zambians into one. If you observe my posts they were addressed to you. Who cares what you are saying here. It doesn’t matter. What matters is that your president who knows better visited Nigeria and had a fruitfull discussion with his counterpart. Museveni did the same thing. British, American, Canadian, and even Asian officials did the same thing. Your envy, hate-mongering and whinning here is tantamount to the rantings of an ant, i.e you are inconsequential and you should wake up and hustle.

  132. I wonder how many Nigerians are in SA for you to form and opinion. And you are very funny. The article did not say that Nigerians wants to help Zambia rather it is your government that wants help from Nigeria. The Government knows better. I don’t need a soothsayer to know from your tune in #197 that you, in particular (not all Zambians), are intimidated by the Nigerians you met. Try sending your post in #197 to a neutral person and let him analyze it for you. #204 Not accepting Nigeria for who they are is to your own detriment for I just don’t care if you do or not. It makes no difference. Your No 1 citizen cares and that is what matters.

  133. # 205, Why you are worried about when you started on me. Am a Zambian and i don’t care about you Nigerians especially yourself. The all Zambian communities where ever you go knows about people like you and you fellow Nigerians. So guys just keep on doing hustle thing, scamming those who don’t much about you guys. Just let your country be aware of doing it can to prove if it can help another country but not in my life time. Nigeria is troubled, need to solve those issues before i can bring back that country on the African map.

  134. #206, Zambian govt wanting help from Nigeria, go back and read the articles from June and find out the truth. Nigeria wants to invest, meaning to see how much they can scam in Zambia.

  135. #207 Again trouble man. ‘All Zambian community’…you forgot to put ‘minus your government’. In 1999 when I started secondary education I was taught a little about Zambia as part of Nigeria’s pan-African educational curriculumn and I must confessed I knew little before our discussion. But I have read more about Zambia today and from what I have read I don’t think you are qualified to decide the position of Nigeria on the map. #208 Like I said, your rantings is like that of an ant. May be you can educate me more…I just stumble on this article and what I read is that your govt is making a request ‘RB woos Nigerian Investors’. Again, your opinion is that of a loser.

  136. #209, you have to learn to accept issues. Make sure you read the current affairs in Nigeria. You don’t you accept the fact Nigerians are who they are. Zambian don’t care about arrogant of Nigeria and it’s citizen, you sound so silly just because none through out seemed to welcome Nigerian investor in Zed. And just make sure you take your opinion to fellow Nigerian who can understand you arrogance better than me. You i stumble even when you don’t me. Just accept the fact of who Nigerians are.

  137. Please, learn how to write with correct tenses. Initially, I thought it was the normal typos but the constant reoccurence of it goes a long way to show that I was right all along. You are a loser and one suffering from inferiority complex. You are a dsgrace to Zambia and I will not want to do Zambia a disservice by using you and the tiny minority of your type to characterize Zambians. For your information, Nigeria has been very active as a stabilizing force in Africa since our military was sent to Congo in 1960. We brought peace to Liberia, Sierra Leone, Cote Ivoire and Guinea Bissau. Our soldiers are still there in Liberia and S/L. Our young men are currently in Sudan paying

  138. the supreme sacrifice in order for peace and stability to reign in Darfur. Nigeria used to offer scholarships to countries in Southern Africa in the 70s and 80s, we send thousands of young professionals, via the voluntary technical corps, all over Africa to assist in whatever way possible. That your No 1 citizen tries to woo Nigerian investors is no news to us. We have been doing so since independence. And so has Nigerian govt been asking other capable countries to invest in our country. It make no difference if Zambia is doing so now. The largest black company owned by a black man in the USA is owned by Nigerian (Kase Lawal) resident here

  139. And the richest and most successful black businessman in the world is a Nigerian (Aliko Dangote with a lot of business interest in many countries). There are Nigerian banks here in the States and also in the UK. So your president wanting a piece of corporate Nigeria is one of many and as a result it makes no news as you may want to think, however painful it is to your troubled and confused mind.It is not the first and, of course will never be the last. Thus, the opinion of your type is only allowed because we are in a free world.You can make these noise in the beer parlour with your likes but it just doesn’t change anything because you are inconsequential.SO, ONCE AGAIN GET UP AND HUSTLE

  140. You sound very childish, am not here to talk the small fraction of the normal Nigerians. You think the successful normal Nigerians will help rebuild the image within our life time, no ways. In my resident, i know a college professor and two medical Doctors who own their clinics. Guess what, they don’t get respect from the deceitful Nigerians like you. You are troubled because the truth will always be the truth. Even the Americans who don’t know about much of Africa knows one thing for sure, Nigerian sammers, worse Nigerian fraud scheme, online dating fraud “Nigerian Scam”. Imagine, you worse than the Russians. So,that’s what you call in Nigeria, wake up and hustle????

  141. # 213 Ojeah, wake up and learn to accept that Nigeria is not the means for others to follow but to keep away. Not until chaps like you change mentality, the world will always be alert by always opening their eyes/minds. Sometime back, someone ask if am Nigerian, boy you should have been there to get choked by just hearing me respond “NO” with an emphasis of how that country is very far from Zed. For a long I was thinking what the problem was, the clashes between you guys and Cameroonians over here, but since am very investigative i had an answer. It’s the Nigerian who got issues, what’s the problem with you people. You too far beyond too bossy.

  142. Hahahaha. Why didn’t they ask you if you were Zambian? The butterfly calling himself a bird. In fact, you will have to painstakingly explained to that person that you are from Zambia and also lecture him on where Zambia is on the map. You know of Nigerian doctors and a professor…their qualifications must have been fake following from your postings above. Inferiority complex at his highest.

  143. I can’t understand why some black Africans, especially from southern Africa, are always surprised at successful Nigerians. I have never one day allow my mind to be troubled about successful Indians, Chinese, or European professionals.I know the colonial British government administer the colonies in SA differently from W/A, but I wonder to what extend did they reduce the pride of the black man in that area. Our great grand parents did have that but it has been overcome, and so should you. Come on , a black man is the US president.Reject inferiority complex and be free.You are not inferior, it is only a state of mind and once you are out of it I assure you that you will WAKE UP AND HUSTLE.

  144. #214 Okonkwo, you dey see me see wahala? Nigerian bossy, arrogant, scammer, etc my foot. But Chinese, Indians or anybody with a lighter skin it is yes Sir, thank you, Master, etc. They are so afraid of light skin people, TUFIAKPA!! To them it is like a miracle to see black guys (esp West Africans) with advanced degrees or succesful in business. Anything you do or say they interprete it as if you are looking down on them (big time inferiority complex) just because you are black. How can a black man like me be so successful? There is one who couldn’t believe that we have a few Nigerian business men that runs private commercial airlines. This is a big time disease…Kupix has met the cure.

  145. #219 should have been “there is one who couldn’t believe that we have Nigerian businessmen that own private commercial airlines”. Apologies.

  146. #218 It’s not about race or your ignorance, it’s about the purity of your impression. The Doctors and prof i talked about before in my of residence are not even respected by Nigerians or liked by the other Nigerians because they are the only normal ones i have come around out of a thousand. You need to develop idealogical principles so as not to sound like a Nigerian street boy since you said you are in school. You got a disease and am having fun you are the only one who cure yourself. Maybe if you can wakeup and hustle like your boy , you might be able to feel much better about not able to finish bulding a castle in your bossy minded brain.

  147. So why are you in good terms with the doctors and the prof? I thought their degrees were fake. And also the over 25,000 Nigerian doctors practicing in the USA are not qualified by Kupix’S standard. Keep on advertising your ignorance instead of WAKING UP AND HUSTLE. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

  148. #221 My friend read your posts again and you will find out your opinion is about surprise at the steady progress of a particular black people. The purity of my impression is superb. I am trying to let you understand what you don’t know. There is a big difference between believing and knowing for you can believe what you don’t know. Believing does not imply knowing but knowing implies believing. Go back and read our posts since saturday and you will see how your position has changed from All Nigerians to only 3 professionals to school boy and now Nigerian street boy. I am happy that you are knowing now so that you can believe, and as result, will WAKE UP AND HUSTLE.

  149. #223, I can wake up and hustle, claiming to be business man whilst all i do is scam. They had to put sensors on all the Nigerian work computers at bank of America because the Nigerian had woken up and hustling by stealing man from people with high credit limits. Those Nigerians, the students and the educated ones thought some of us of having low standards because we never hustled like that. But just one day it was over and it became so had for other Africans to get a job at banks just because of the Nigerians. For me boy, i like and i roll smoothly because i got standard and i set them free. I don’t pretend, that not the nature of good mentality.

  150. Look at you. My in-law works in Bank of America, Houston!!.Instead of saying that you were unqualified for the job you turned and blame Nigerians for your sorry state. WAKE UP AND HUSTLE.You are like the man that falsely claims that herbs is better than modern medicine, hence, prefering the former to the later when in reality he can’t afford it.The humble man of integrity is one that knows his position and tries to improve it rather than crying wolf.If I compete for something and was beaten by a better guy, it will is the height of deceit for me that start claiming without any justification that I was cheated of victory.I accept it and make sure that I put on my best for next opportunity

  151. # 225 Who told you that am into customer service, bank of america or any other financial institution. Unqualified when you don’t even know my level. Your in-law, so you got a scammer in family, that’s why there is always claims of victory by you and your people. Am glad you have to know from this direction, that it is not what matters less but how you take.

  152. Kupix why are you so loud and why do you talk so much rubbish. Zambia is a Banana republic. South Africa Rocks. As for the Nigerians They are a totally different breed. They are a mixture of the Good the Bad and Ugly. Nigerians are high Achievers what do Zambians achieve?

  153. I will start my little comment by declaring #30 as a fugitive, I believe she committed abomination in her place and decided to hide in a hungry striken country. One day hunger will drive you home and you will receive your due punishment. Of all countries in the world, you chose Zambia to hide.I cannot understand that fact that of all people in this world, Zambians will call Nigerians names. Zambian is just the population of Lagos state and ogun state. Whatever is your bias and prejuice about Nigeria, It cannot change the fact that Nigeria is a great nation to rekcon with it, the most populous black Nation earth. If South Africans should talk about Nigeria,

  154. I dont think Zambians should raise their voice at Nigerians.Nigeria is a big country and like every big countries in the world, it has big problems. If there is 10 thieves in Zambia with a population of 11 million,then how many thieve can a country with over 180million have? Yea there are bad Nigerians just as there are bad zambians and there are good Nigerians same way there are good zambians.There is no way 180million people will be all saints or all saints but it is a fallacy to categorize all Nigerians as Scammers, forgers and co. I know Kupix is not a philosopher so he doesnt know what is a fallacy. It is funny how you base your argument about Nigeria base on your contact with one

  155. or two or 10 Nigerians. You don’t know this country much so let not right to vent your frustrate on forum like this.Nigeria whether you like it or not is a power house in the world and nothing can change that. Big and great countries have big problems, eg China, Russia, India etc. China is the highest piracy and faking nation in the world yet they are world powers. The word scam and fraud is not a Nigerian word it is an English word that means those crimes are English crimes. Even in Europe, white people are jail for forgery and fraud. The biggest African bank in the world is the first bank of Nigeria in London. There is also UBA, Zenith Bank and so many others in many parts of the world

  156. So Zambians should count themselves lucky that there is a Nigerian bank in Zambia. Nigeria is one of the countries in the world that was not affacted by the currently Economic crisis , for this reason the Nigeria central bank Governor is one the 20 people in the whole world selected by World Bank to fine solution to the current problem, at least this is a recognition that something good is happening in Nigeria. No body can dispute this that Nigerians are the most experienced business men in entire Africa.Zambians should go to Ghana, Benin, Niger,Cameroun, Ivory coast, Togo, Sao Tome and Principe and ask them what Nigerian investments in their country has contributed to their economy.I think

  157. this is what your president saw and come to Nigeria to ask for same kind of Help. The best and cheapest Mobile phone company in Ghana is owned by a Nigerian and it has provide many employment opportunities for Ghanaians. Nigerian businessmen and investors are helping Liberian and Sierra Lonean Governments to build their economies after the war.It is true that Nigeria as a country has its imperfections and problems but it does not mean that Nigeria has nothing to offer to her small sisters who needs help.Your Government saw US, China and SA but chose to go to Nigeria first, there is something he saw that motivated him. So give him a chance to take your economy around. I discover that alot

  158. Zambians don’t really know the country Nigeria, the information they have are the prejuice and bias that people feed on them. I don’t know Zambia much too, there little I know is about high number of HIV people but I don’t use it to form my knowledge of Zambia. Apart from HIV and Aids, there are many things good about Zambia and Zambians. I have a Zambian classmate,a he is a good guy, and he also tell people i am a good guy.I don’t judge him by what Nigerians think about Zambians and He doesnt judge by what people say about Nigerians. We call ourselves brothers and we do things together.Nigeria has something good to offer to Zambia and Zambia has something good to offer to Nigeria.

  159. Dominic, forget Kupix. He is a big time loser. Just let him continue to whine, he already knows that his myopic reasonings are inconsequential. I believe the likes of Kupix will not make up to 0.1 per cent of Zambians if not there wouldn’t have been Zambia. So lets allow the lilliputian to carry on with his mirage until reality catches up with him.

  160. Instade of charater assassinating ourselves let us team of ourselves together and fight neo colonialism and exploitation of our economies by the west.Please dear colonists, all Nigerians are not scammers and forgers just like all Zambians are not HIV carriers.Every country has its own problem, I believe that in future,our countries will be great.The only problem facing both countries are bad leadership. If our leaders are God fearing people will not die because of Elections in Nigeria, Kenya, Zimbabwe. But this problems are not pecular to Africa, it happens also in Asia, Europe and American countries. Let understand ourselves and drop prejuices and bias. Thank you.

  161. #226. What is your level? Let me hear something. If you have any reasonable friend at all I challenge you to present our little debate here and see what the person will make of you. Incredibly dumb!And you claim to have an associate. Associate my foot. I can’t even reason so low like you when I was in high school.

  162. Ojeah, there is too much anger in your troubled mind. You debating me, you don’t even know me and you are making sure judgements of the little know about human relation.

  163. Ojeah………am not surprised with your attitude because that’s what i have come from dumb humans like you. First RB is just a president, even if he’s the so called citizen number 1, he’s justa politician. And that does not make him learned with economics and it’s involvement to govern a third world nation. Back to you Mr Dumb, you have the way and always will because it’s in your blood. You can’t challenge me because your ignorant and it will be part of you. Read the Nigerian newspapers daily, so that you stay current with the rub*ish going down there.

  164. Anger from the babblings of a child in the likeness of an adult? Hahaha. You are like the butterfly calling himself a bird just because it can fly.The same man who lumped 150 million people (of which he may not have met even up to a thousand) together as criminals is now lecturing me on how not to judge someone I know little about.Kupix, go through your comments again and you will see how dumb you are. No amount of sophistry on your part can change that because it is in print. Action speaks louder than voice, I don’t need to know you physical. The absurd and myopic posts you have here tells a lot about your mentality.

  165. #239 Rubbish in Nigeria and goodies in Saint Zambia? Continue reading Nigerian papers so that you will know about one of the most dynamic and progressive people of the late twentieth century.

  166. # 240, 241, Wake and hustle, that’s arrogance and ignorance in the in your mind of factious retardation you so far have polishing your mind. Without improvements that you need, you will always be dumb. Let to accept that RB many be interested but the all Zambian population because Nigerian got a lot to do at home like fixing theses issues, Nigeria has adopted Islamic law, though an official says it won’t apply to non-Muslims and theses have always resulted in clashes. Under the conditions of modern life, the intellectual potentialities associated with brain are only .001% used. So l;et to be mindful and knowledgeable .

  167. Look at the kind of half-truths you are pouring in here? ‘Nigeria has adopted Islamic law’!! Again another round of ignorance. Let me lecture you a little. Nigeria operates a federal system just like the USA of which the states can enact their own laws as far as it doesn’t conflict the federal laws. There are 36 states of which 12 of them in the north with an overwhelming muslim majority enacted sharia laws, which as a state they have the right to do so. Just like in the US where some laws in Texas is different from those in California. But there are about 6 states with sizeable christain or muslim minority in the middle-belt (Central Nigeria) that are hot spot because the christains

  168. there don’t want to be under sharia and the muslims in those states where they have thin want to implement it. They argued that they have been living under it for the past 600 yrs. Those states are the flash points, especially the states of Plateau (capital Jos) and Kaduna. When you come down south then you are talking about predominantly christain population of about 60 million. I just check on cia website and found out that Zambias 2007 budget was $2.655b whereas my home state of about 5 million people was $2.4b. So you can imagine how big the country is. You can’t use what happen in a handful of states to characterise a country of 150 million and about 20 million in the diaspora.

  169. Saying that Nigeria is under Sharia shows again how little you know about Nigeria. Always try to get your facts right. I know what Zambia is stereotyped with but it will be unintelligent of me to start using that here as the face of Zambia. Only dumb people will do that.

  170. # 246, all you need is to upgrade your level of thinking and understanding or else you for ever be behind by 10yrs ^:)^. Anyway, that wouldn’t help much coz your still Mr Dumb.

  171. #248, 249, Am not like you who will never go back to your id*ot life in your silly country. You like to test yourself.If You realy are stup*d, animal just as your name looks like, and sounds like an an*mal. :-@
