  1. What about kaizer zulu, he was not there kikikiki? i hope you make your maiden speech and point out the evils that the British and Americans have done to Zimbabwe and Libya. Expose as the terrorists they are and also implore other members to give a vote of no confidence in the security council unless it includes an african member country as a permanent member.

    • I was also there. That was the saddest & coolest presidential reception/welcome I have ever seen. Don’t understand me wrong, it is not only Lungu who has no “value”, but the POPE is in town….. Even me I didn’t want to go and check on Edgar, I was forced to drive someone there.
      Anyway, your PF president arrived just fine, he didn’t dance today, sorry.

  2. Hello Bwana ..enjoy your trip and please try some HENNESY….you won’t go back to Jameson.
    Don’t take to long u need to go back home and attend to issues ….kwacha….power etc…

    • @Mbuzi, Edgar nachimulasamo ka round-bottle of tequila. Ati dabwa sana, na mona Mumbi Phiri andolesha with surprise, she asked “Nga uyu mulumendo ni nani, tabakwete na belly?”…. so I walked to her (I didn’t know she was that short), I told her that I will be back Saturday, after Edgar finish his ukubwatabwata…. so your recommendation of HENNESY will be delivered via Mumbi Phiri.

    • Nyau

    • ha! ba Katondo mudala, if you keep up your sense of humor I will put in a good word for you at the comedy club. Maybe you can do stand up comedy one or two nights a week to make some extra spending cash ka

  3. Hahaha..”Edgar Lungu has arrives in New York UN General Assembly”

    Lol,iwe ba Zambian half baked journalists i didn’t know that UN general assembly WAS A PLACE and not just an event.

  4. Go visit some gas stations and see how cheap gas is. Please plan to visit some of the manufacturing plants, auto as well as energy plants. You might learn one or two things to help you plan on how to alleviate the load shedding and ways to create jobs. DON’T GET DRUNK, ask you former worker at the Zambian embassy in the USA who got drunk and was arrested. There’s law and order in the USA. Lastly, you might want to try to demonstrate by the road sides and see that there’s no POA here. WELCOME TO THE USA no ichmpwena kuno te ku Chawama.

  5. iwe ntaulu dont you know that theres also unemployment in USA dnt comment blindly.infact maybe you are just a cleaner there.

    • @ zingalume phulantenga

      USA unemployment at 6.8% with social security “net”; Zambia unemployment at more than 50% without any form of social security “net”!!!

      Who is crapping blindly?

  6. The lazy bum has indeed arrived even with problems at home he couldn’t just resist it..here is where i support oldman Sata as he would have sent his veep to hell with UN…not the lazy bum Edgar!!

    • Jay Jay are you real? Sata went there even at the point of his death! Don’t you remember the story about his absence from the assembly? Where were you ? Please don’t give is crap! Just go to bed if you have nothing to say !

    • @kabu…

      Sata only traveled then because he was under pressure to prove he was healthy and for his selfish wife to collect some award…a healthy Sata in these circumstances would have been at home pretending to work.

    • @ Katondo boys

      You been “working on it” for FOUR years and result is in the open…..
      Please, please, please stop “working on it”. It will definitely get better!!!
      Thanks

  7. Security in New York is tight and driving around is next to impossible but still for those if you that are in New Rochelle…Long Island…Queens…Bronx…let’s meet and greet the President of Zambia Friday night in New Rochelle….

    2016 vote PF ( Edgar )

    I thank you

  8. That is the best thing LUNGU can do best. He leaves his economy yawning and goes to collect Dollar cover to increase his personal savings. The man is just something else. Zambia as it stands now is hopeless. All the things LUNGU mentioned in parliament are not doable because he never gave outline how these were going to be done.
