GOVERNMENT says it is disappointed with United Party for National Development (UPND) president Hakainde Hichilema’s statement that Zambians should pray hard ahead of the ‘Armageddon’ on August 11.
Information and Broadcasting Services Minister Chishimba Kambwili said it was clear that the UPND thrives on misfortunes of Zambians.
Mr Hichilema is quoted in yesterday’s edition of the Post as urging Zambians to pray harder ahead of the ‘Armageddon’ on August 11, this year, which will be the date for the general elections.
Dr Kambwili said at a Press briefing in Lusaka yesterday that Zambia would not be set on fire as a result of someone’s desire for power.
“It is clear that HH and his team have a strategy to thrive on the misfortunes of Zambians in an effort to form Government.
“While his hope is to have violence across the country during the August 11 elections, we are saying let there be peace across the country during the August 11 elections,” he said.
Dr Kambwili said no amount of ill wish would turn Zambia into Armageddon as it was a Christian Nation.
He appealed to Zambians not to fall prey to the promises of the UPND leader that he would provide mealie-meal at a cheaper price.
He said the current price of mealie-meal was as a result of pressures coming from other countries as a result of the high demand of the commodity.
“People, do not believe Mr Hakainde’s promises on mealie-meal. If you check the mealie-meal in the Democratic Republic of Congo, there, a bag is selling at K250, in Malawi K180 and in Tanzania close to K200 and here a 25kg it is at K70 for breakfast and K65 for roller meal, which is very cheap,” he said.
He said the Patriotic Front Government had subsidised the price of maize so that the price of mealie-meal could be more affordable to the average Zambian.
Dr Kambwili said the Government was always looking for means of making the living standards for Zambians better, adding that was why it increased salaries for civil servants.
He challenged Mr Hichilema to show how much he paid his workers as he was criticising the Government on civil servants’ salaries.
Rubbish.
Pray hard before the “armargedon” on the 11th of August 2016, well put figuratively speaking and the poofulls have gone on a rant again, which schools did you guys go to, where your English teachers didn’t teach you to play with words in your speech? This idyote why brag about civil servants salaries like they come from his pockets, why can’t he compare his maids salary and HH’s maid.
Armageddon:
Literally, the last battle between good and evil before the Day of Judgement.
Figuratively:
Any great and crucial conflict. In this case between PF and UPND, it will indeed be Armageddon this August in Zambia!!
Examples;
– Someone has to say it: cable news was utterly swept away by the notion that Irene would turn out to be Armageddon.
– With South America now Zika Virus-stricken, fears of an Armageddon are rising.
– I took the warning seriously, and the word “Armageddon” appeared in a huge headline over my story.
– I think he would not quit the board if Armageddon were towards.
This Kambwili should apologize to people for pretending to be a human being
Armageddon is the greatest war that will be fought between God (the bosses/ the People/ Zambians) and the evil one (Satan/ PF government) who has brought so much suffering on them. Zambians have suffered and have been enslaved through the unprecedented corruption through the so called unprecedented infrastructural development. Nothing is working in Zambia and we have ended up with IMF structural program and someone with a so called PhD cant see the suffering and the adverse situation the national economy is. HH simply said it as it is, an Armageddon to once and for all destroy the evil PF regime.
You need to go for Edgar Lungu’s throat in the Armageddon battle. Guys let’s send the whole PF leadership to night school.
!Ba LT, please don’t call this semi-literate gerabo buffon a Dr, its an insult to the learned to society!!
Satan is real – demons are real – curses are real – but Jesus’ resurrection power has obtained deliverance for us!
I am fully anointed and when I pray the fire of God blasts and uproots demons and cohorts. I release atomic bombs into the devils camp and command angels to unsheathe their swords and destroy Amalekites of slander, oppression, manipulation, lies, hatred, corruption, mediocrity.
I am thankful, Heavenly Father, that the weapons of HH warfare are not carnal but mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds that oppression and deceive this our people. Satan your strongholds are spoiled. The evil strategies mooted and purveyed against HH cannot succeed as God his deliverer and protector sits in the third heaven to laughs to laugh to scorn the satanic forces.
YES IT WILL BE ARMAGEDDON! WE SHALL FIGHT LUNGU AND HIS PF MINIONS FOR THEIR ATTEMPT TO RIG THE ELECTIONS. VIVA HH VIVA! VIVA UPND VIVA!
Dr of what, rituals?
Kambwili is another piece of
Iwe Kambwili can you please clarify your predictable misfortune compared to the hell reality each Zambian awake to each morning when you re busy fattening your bellies? Any genuine Zambian going through the pinch of pathetic economy would earnestly pray for change. Coze they have tried airing their anguish to the supposedly leaders but alas falls on deaf ears. So the best solution for now is earnest prayer. Until August 11…best of luck 🙂
Let HH apologise!!
Wajimona apologize for what? For telling Zambians to pray hard for the coming elections on 11 August.
@ DIVIDE AND RULE
HH should apologies for destroying economy, rule of law, fundamental rights, less money in our pockets, lack of jobs, corruptly institutional corruption…………….
Apologise for what? It is not HH’s fault that Kambwili went to lousy schools and does not understand English well.
Every evil standing order against HH’s destiny, die, in the name of Jesus. O God arise and begin to disgrace all HH’s Goliaths, Pharoahs, Nebucaddnezers in the name of Jesus. 15. O Lord, begin to laugh HH enemies to scorn. Oh God, you are mighty in battle, arise fight for HH in the presence of those who think HH is a nobody, inferior and worthless. Lord I pull down every serpent in HH life and every power, planning to wage war against HH vision. HH enemies will bow before and serve HH, in the name of Jesus. Every cloud of confusion, lies, manipulation, deception, smear campaign, slander and evil covering HH goal, clear, in the name of Jesus. As from now on, HH prevails against the enemies of his breakthroughs, in the name of Jesus. Every demon assigned to torment and malign HH, die,…
As Obatala Lungu has indicated above, we need an apology from Chishimba Kambwili for pretending to be human. This man must be caged in a zoo for misbehaving.
Ba Kambwili just continue eating your corruptly acquired wealth quietly and stop insulting our dignity. Ati mealie meal is very cheap?You call K80 very cheap?Need I remind u that u found the commodity at K35 in 2011 when u took power?You said then that that price was too high and your PF would lower it but what happened?You more than doubled the price and today u can insult our poverty by saying K80 is very cheap?God have mercy on you but August 11 muleya bane.OUT!
AWA SURE!! THE SO CALLED DOCTOR. IF I WERE “CALIFORNIA UNIVERSITY” CHANCELLOR I WOULD RESIGN FOR AWARD THIS PROFESSIONAL FAILURE (PF) AN AWARD. KAMBWILI NEEDS A DOCTORATE IN KAPONYA MANNERS. DID HE EVEN UNDERSTAND WHAT HH WAS SAYING?
Mr silverback neckless chimbwi get this in yo dul skull, amageddon means the site or time of a final and conclusive
battle between the forces of good and
evil and in this case evil= Pf while good = upnd. So he meant a mare political show down (elections) btween upnd and pf. Small brain big head u don’t even know what a thesis is?????
@wise comentator naine im just wondering.Ati ba Doctor shuwa?Lekeni tumisambilisheko ba Kambwili since bu dokota bwenu bwakupelwafye kuluse, armegedon in this context, if u even knw what context means, is a metaphore or a figure of speech which simply implies a showdown, and for sure this year’s polls will be such a showdown between yourselves as PF and that other party, yena ndesubila namuishiba.Nomba Im still sure iyi showdown teti bayishibe ba dokota aba.Can someone pls help me explain this in plain simple Bemba for the sake of the doctor.SHOWDOWN!
Vizungu ba kambwili
just asking z kambwili nomal
ATI DOKOTA!!!!! WHICH UNIVERSITY? POST A COPY OF YOUR DOCTORATE SO WE CAN SEE THE NAME OF THE UNIVERSITY.. TELL US WHICH CALIFORNIA UNIVERSITY? LOL DOKOTAAAAA? WHERE?
Arrest him
PF is full of people who cannot understand figurative language.
And please, spare us the abuse of the title Dr. Only members of the academia should use it after earning it through dissertations.
Ba Up and down, I dont remember learning Armageddon at school as an idomatic expression or figirative speech. Armageddon (Terrible battle or war that lead to total distruction). So dont just write without thinking as PF we seldom contribute on this online media because of insults that imwe ba Up and down have. The wise does not argue with a fool because the fool is used to life of insulting so imwe it is normal whatever your under five says it is a gospel truth. How could an ellection be compared to Armageddon, useful *****s.
That is why I hate these honorary things because people tend to be alleviated and yet they have little understanding and simple issues. Kambwili should even be proud to be called a doctor. HH never said anything strange, Kambwili simply gets confused by the usage of armageddon. Cabulanda saana mwa!
People may not be wrong, after all, in associating HH with Satanism. By his own doing, this is what he portrays himself to be – a Satanist, one who thrives on blood. His use of the word ‘Armageddon’ implies bloody violence. No sane Zambian will anticipate the so-called Armageddon and mock God by saying people should pray harder. He is also mocking God by insinuating that Zambians have previously not prayed hard enough. Who is he? A servant of the underworld? Zambia cannot have such a man at her helm. She is too precious to be defiled by he likes of HH.
@disgusted you are bloody thirsty.
waba aka bwamba
Hehehehe…..UPND teaching us English my foot!
Tell your Commentator that when you are aspiring to lead a nation you have to learn vocabulary and choose your words carefully. In any case, Zambia has been through peaceful elections many times before, so what would be so special about the August ones to become Armageddon? It can only mean that Commentator means what he says literally. Have you ever heard Commentator encouraging people to pray? Well, of late he uses the word prayer quite often. Does he mean it the way we understand it? I doubt it, I think Commentator is using the word prayer figuratively.
And why ask Zambians to pray harder if he used ‘Armageddon’ in a sense that does not require God’s intervention..figuratively, so to speak?
Iwe Kambwili, graduate of Coppersstone & a U.S. Kantemba University.
Please grow a brain in that cranium. Its for you unfortunate, you cannot pay cash to have more greys matter, unlike your ka cheap Fake university doctorate.
Are you really asking H.H, to apologise for your out going reckless party destroying Zambia??
Uli chipuba iwe, like your leader Sataa once said, we nkoko we!!
AMAGEDONI11/8/2016 AKUNA KUTINA ,AKUNA KULALA PAKA TENTE LITULIKE.VIVA HH.
Kambwili you have a habit of comparing economies of other countries with ours not knowing how their net pay or disposable income they take home. Kambwili is very dull
These are the effects of having a Zika-virus patient for a minister – ranting.
Who declared a certain day in the recent past “Day of National Prayer”? Was it HH or PF? Now that HH is supporting PF’s policy of turning to God for divine intervention when they fail to come up with solutions…..it is bad. Lungu is always urging people to pray hard for the economy to pick up when he has a Finance Minister. God is not Wanyoko iwe stinking Kambwili. So if things sre bad in DRC, Malawi and Tanzania, we should feel like we are doing ok? Just because we are on top of the rubbish heap, then its ok? Why do we have to compare ourselves to the worst instead of the best? Why should we be inspired by the worst instead of the best?
He is a hypocrite. Courting violence is not the most noble of actions by one who purports to have the best interests of Zambia at heart. This HH is setting the stage for a confrontation when he loses in August. He is behaving like a rabid d0g and must be watched very closely.
Kambwili hates HH with passion. Typical behavior of a government minister in a fake Christian nation.
HH believes in a different god to that of Edgar’s and that is why he has expressed this genuine concern.
There is nothing figurative about HH’s statement. You don’t even need to read between the lines to see its meaning. He just meant war. Why should voting be equated or compared with Armageddon? What makes the likes of HH and GBM holier than PF? UPND is full of evil, freemason, abusive and insulting language and adulterers.
The rantings from Kambwili and Kalaba are typical of a man caught stealing. They are trying to put up a brave face after their election rigging plans were exposed. They had invested so much in the Dubai Printer to print extra and premarked ballots for our elections and this window is being closed. Without rigging ECL and PF know that they are losing these elections given the mood of the Nation. PF has no campaign message and people are tired of their clueless and visionless govt. To vote for this corrupt lot is to vote for another 5 yrs of poverty and suffering. PF Govt must fall#
ati doctor!!!!!…MA RABBISH YA DOCTOR AYA.. May be its a doctorate in foolishness.
it is sadeninng to read the comments coming from bloggers on this site, & this goes to show that most of them are earthly people who doesn’t understand the meaning of the Armageddon & hide in the name of figurative speech. hh is an evil man who can destroy this country in few days. Zambian people shuold be worry of this man & not the Armageddon is wishing the country.
Bushe ninshi ama UPND leaders balandila Mumilumbe?
We are not going to War,we are going to elections. Amargeddon kuti.There is no war between UPND and PF.There is no conflict or affliction.UPND Supporters,the problem you support everything.Me and my household are not going to Armageddon, we are going to the ballot.
GBM its Figurative,HH its figurative…Great leaders knows how to choose words. Armageddon is not the
right word.The final battle of good and evil.It maybe figurative but the wise choose their words carefully.
How can we condemn HH,Armageddon is the last fight of Satan. HH knows that his last fight in politics of Zambia. Satan will fight and loose, that is what the book of Revelation says.
Wamona nomba nga wachiikala fye ummmmm @ doctorate and fimofimo from copper stone. The one who named you at kambwili knew how shallow minded you will be thinking. if he/she knew that you will be able to think big, they would have called you CHIMBWILI but Yaba!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Kikikikikikiki twanaka nenu!!! kuya bebele bane. This time my vote is for HH no matter what you say about him.
Can someone please stop calling this buffoon. It is an insult to those who have rightly earned their degrees through hard work.
Secondly HH put Armageddon as a figurative expression during election. That is why the word was in inverted comas. Why is this monster kambwili making a storm out of nothing?
Poor reasoning
yaba..this man is a retard..why should he always be defending failures of the governemnt
BA KACHEMA YOU WILL NEVER RULE ZAMBIA .IF YOU WANT TO WIN LET ANIMALS VOTE FOR UPND
TONGANYOKO
MUSATA WA NYOKO IWE GALU
Whoever is advocating for armageddon is a SON OF THE MOST CRUEL DEVIL and should not be voted for in the general elections. This is why i have never and will never vote for UPND because they celebrate whenever a misfortune has befallen the nation, even when Sata was seriously sick they were busy celebrating. What kind of human beings are they? Its better to continue suffering with leadership that promotes peace than have a government of individuals who thrive on any misfortune.
HH YOU SHOULD FIRST REDUCE THE PRICES OF BEEF
LOOK AT DANGOTE WHAT HE HAS DONE WITH CEMENT YOU FOOLS UPND /HH
MWANYA WE WILL NEVER VOTE FOR YOU
What is Armageddon? I have read most of the comments above and its like you are using your dictionaries to suit your thoughts and parties you are affiliated to. Armageddon is the last battle between the Devil with his dark angels against Christ with his angels. It will take place after the millennial reign (1000 years of Christ peaceful reign on earth). The battle will be fought in the valley of magigo and Satan, his angels and followers will be defeated and thrown into the lake of fire, this will mark the end of Satan and his angels. Now, coming to HH’s comments, forgive him for he doesn’t understand what he is talking about. Zambians can never go that far for the sake of one selfish individual who wants power at all costs, never! We are a Christian nation and God will always guard…
I believe now that HH is a Satanist how can he likene Armageddon to 2016 August 11th elections n he doesn’t even understand the Armageddon issue coz it’s not about huz going to win it’s a time in which God is going to punish
ALL THOSE WHO DOUBT HH TO BE A SATAN1ST CAN NOW CONFIRM FROM HIS WORDS!!”Armageddon is the last war between satan and Godly Angels!”SO IN SHORT HH IS TELLING US ZAMBIANS THAT ON 11/08/2016, HE (SATAN) WILL FIGHT HIS LAST FIGHT WITH GODLY MAN (EDGAR LUNGU)!!!BUT ONE THING HH FORGETS IS THAT SATAN CANNOT DEFEAT GOD-NEVER!!ZAMBIA IS A CHRISTIAN NATION SO WE SHALL NEVER ALLOW SATANISTS TO RULE US!!THE ALMIGHTY GOD SHALL DELIVER VICTORY FOR EDGAR LUNGU TO SHAME THE DEVIL(HH) IN 2016!!!please Zambians tell our people daily in churches who hh is!WE MUST NEVER VOTE FOR A SATAN1ST!”IFINTU NI LUNGU-2016!”GO PF GO!!
To be UPND is ubulwele, just look at what they say all of them including their small boy leader, look at what they write, look at their choice of words. please fellow Zambians, protect yourselves from this disease called UPND, it attacking the brain and it has no cure nor vaccine, just protect yourselves.
why cant u go to Tanzania or malawi where u can buy at 200 and 180 respectively cos thats cheaper than buying in zambia.let yo Angel HH tell us how much he pays his workers so that we know his sympathy ifya kutubepa ubufi fyalipita kale we want the truth
We of the Christian declared nation, have been praying hard to be delivered of UPND for a while now!! We don’t need prompting to pray irreverently to God Almighty, who knows better than us ALREADY that Evil can never triumph. To ask people to waste God’s time is sinful, for He knows better than us what is Good and Righteous.
The problem with UPND cadres is that they will support anything their God HH says even if there is no substance what so ever in it. Instead of digesting and understanding the context in which Kambwili said it, they go on a diatribe disperaging him with all sorts of insults, to them what ever he says is nonsense.This is what happens when pipo fail to reason because of bitterness, why should a simple election be equated to Armagedon?We have gone to elections several times and nothing of that nature has happened and will not happen! So it is back to sender let Armagedon happen in UPND.
Figurative my foot. They is no war why utter such words. Us children of God know the power of the tougue and we shall continue to confess what we want to see. Imwe kanshi why are you so careless with your utterance? Anyway thats who you are you thrive on misfortunes of the country. Maptizya formula you think we have forgotten. Hh needs some one to councel him he was truely not raised well.
Hahahaha, ungaseke mwe, the way PF bloggers become hysterical whenever HH says something starting with their so called leaders Mumbai Phiri, Frank Bwalya, Kambwili and the whole brood. Take it easy guys, you will burst a vein somewhere. You claim to be popular, you will win, so what is the panic all about? By the way, where is Chama?
So it’s now illegal for anyone else to talk about prayer? Kano nga ebo.
Prayer to who? And that is the question. If HH asks you to pray open your eyes and if he asks you not to pray close your eyes and pray.
A person who compares an election to armagedon is evil. HH is evil and needs prayer
@1.2 Mr Intelligent (Things have Fallen Apart) I know you are not Chinua Achebe (died on 21/03/ 2013), but certainly more intelligent than the so-called Dr Kambwili.
pray pray pray how about work work work?
I remember Kambwili only started paying his workers in his private company when he became Minister, before then he was always in papers for non payment. Do not throw stones when you live in a glass house soon you will go back when we repossess those houses built on stolen land and using government monies. We all know why you will do anything to retain power, the gallows are your next bedroom.
Iyoo aba tonga balaibepa! Balebepa namashina ati nalimo kuti bakwata the blessing of the other tribes to grab the reign of power. Look just what has become of VERNOM SEX (VJ). Naboo ati ba leader babo in the name of HH nabo ba welewele.. amagendon his foot! Nilobalinefye twalavota.. ama results yakalanda..by the way make sure ubtake care of Mwaliteta. He is already lonely!
