MMD President Dr. Nevers Mumba has said the renaming of the imaginary and non-existent Luapula University to ‘FTJ’ University is a desperate and embarrassing political manouvre by President Lungu.
Dr. Mumba said the reality is that President Lungu is making frantic and desperate attempts to recover from the blunder of closing the Post by somehow showing that he admires the democratic ideals of late President Chiluba when clearly he does not.
He said Luapula University is one of the many fake PF ‘donchi kubeba’ projects, along with Lewanika University in Mongu which the PF used to hoodwink Zambians to fraudulently get into government in 2011 and yet not even one brick has been laid on any of these projects.
He said the best way Mr Lungu would have honoured the late president was to practically carry on the democratic legacy that Dr. Chiluba introduced such as freedom of speech, freedom of association, freedom of assembly and freedom of the media which are now being being systematically destroyed.
President Lungu should have also emulated Dr. Chiluba by immediately transforming the Zambian economy within months of taking over power the way President Chiluba did but instead what Zambians have seen is a steep deterioration of the performance of the economy which has plummeted to unimaginable levels behind the slogan ‘IFINTU NI LUNGU.’
The current backdrop of muzzling the press as shown in how the PF Government has influenced the affairs at the Post newspaper, the sudden withdrawal of a flying permit from GBM on a campaign programme in Luapula, attempts to bring down the plane flying UPND leaders in Shiwa Ng’andu by PF thugs, countless incidents of police brutality and tear-gassing and disruption of opposition party campaign meetings cannot be said to be honouring the memory of Dr. Chiluba.
Dr. Mumba urged Zambians to ignore the cheap political gimmicks by the PF as Mr. Lungu is just a desperate man taking desperate measures.
I wonder if those commenting on The Post newspaper closure are really thinking with their brains or what… Coz the issue here is simple why was post taking the taxe obligations? Pay and it will show..
What the hell? So The university is not even built? Don’t tell me Lewanika is not open yet.
What about Mongu stadium which Kambwili opened when he was a minister of sports, he said he never leave project unfinished.
When is Zambia Airways going to commissioned 3rd time?
Sontapo!
You are the one not thinking at all. Why did ZRA wait until elections time to pounce on The Post?
Nobody is saying that the Post must not pay taxes!
They are saying the tax laws must be FAIRLY and EQUITABLY APPLIED!
Not by selectively interfering by Lungu with ZRA for political mileage!
Times and Daily Mail owe TEN TIMES AS MUCH tax as the Post. Lungs has done nothing about that because they are his mouthpieces.
This convicted thief is now just trying to STEAL THE ELECTION.
It is not a gimmick iwe pastor Mumbwe. We respect Chiluba in Riverpool.
COMMENTS FROM NEVERS MUMBA, HH, AND GBM ARE NOT GENUINE, BUT FOR PERSONAL INTEREST. SURELY THESE CHAPS ARE NOT LEADERS.
BROTHER NEVERS YOU NEED TO REPEAT AND TURN TO GOD.
Hastings Moonga
You definitely mean Never Mumba should repent and not repeat
Crooked Mumba trying to protect the thief Fred Mmeembe, why not just ask Mmeembe to pay and the issue will be over, simple and straight.
Loser, Mumba. When you saw a possibility of an MMD political alliance with PF a few months ago, you were all praises of Lungu and PF! So what has changed now! Cheap politicians like you are slowly losing political space in Zambia.
just shut up pastor Nevers Mumba….you are a failure, you killed MMD and now you want to help to kill UPND….Go back to your calling (winning souls)
Lungu is taking people for being fools, how do you rename a university which is in non-existence, and people are there making noise, let’s he will rename the one in western province…
Exactly. Lungu should have constructed the University before giving it that name if he wanted to woo votes from Chilubas village. What he just did is to name a bush after FTJ
Nevious nao. U dont know the PF puts into action the things they talk about? Yalakulwa!
Like “more money in theirs pockets”?
Buffoonery at work!!!
Ba nevers jsk keep quiet,it is you who is desperate.
Imwe naimwe maso yenu teti mwikalefye. seleni Edgar abombeko mwema failures mwe.
Desperate times require desperate measures but will this gimmick give Lungu some votes? We don’t think so. People of Luapula have already made up their minds to vote out the visionless and violent Lungu. In any case people of Luapula are suffering from high cost of living, no jobs, no money etc. Lets try HH,GBM & UPND for a change. Viva HH .
Ba Pastor, tell them. This is just a gimmick. tell apostle pule why he is supporting a violet president whose party has killed many zambians and he is not condemning or arresting the killers
YES, OTHER ORGANISATIONS OWE ZRA HUGE SUMS OF MONEY. BUT IT DEPENDS ON THE AGREEMENT THEY HAVE MADE WITH ZRA TO DISMANTLE THAT DEBT. AND THEIR COMMITMENT TO IT. M’MEMBE AROGANTLY REFUSES TO PAY. AND ZRA HAS THE RIGHT TO GET ITS MONEY. INFACT THIS IS THE BEST TIME. JUST LIKE ZESCO IN THOSE DAYS. TO PAY XMASS BONUS TO ITS WORKERS WILL EFFECT THE POWER CUT EXERCISE AROUND X’MASS TO THAT CONSUMERS FEEL COMPELLED TO HONOUR THEIR OBLIGATIONS.
@ Chisenga
Are you stupid or 1mbecile?
ZRA must comply with statutory provisions without “favor” or “discrimination”!!!
That is it. Nothing more, nothing else.
Please, stop showing your ignorance in public. Reserve that to the meeting with fellow PF ignorant supporters.
All this is not important right now. There is a video circulating in which a woman is being beaten and undressed by a group of men. What is the country doing about this. Where is the law? It beats me how we can all sit and talk about nonsense when such human degradation is happening.
The problem is that we have useless Pastors like the one who has issued the statement …all because this Pastor is interested in, is money…
PF is winning in the first round Mark my words.. I have traveled across the country so l know what I am talking about.
So you have seen the right thing.
I will vote for Edgar Lungu and PF
So will I
Me too. Am going to Zambia to vote for ECL only
AS for the Robert Makasa University, its just that it was already built up to a certain level. All they did was change use from Police Academy to university, change name and complete with some modifications
New universities, well perhaps not until most construction projects are completed. However since now infrastructure will be done by local constrictors plus local materials I guess the cost will be reduced and quicken the pace of constructing all these structures
so what?
It will be completed in 90 days?
This announcement and that of Kawambwa Tea Company by Lungu seem to suggest that Lungu is desperate for votes in these areas. We thought that Lungu was confident of rigging these elections in his favour so why worry about wooing these voters? The Election Rigging Plans are not going according to plan? Its too late. People have already decided they no longer want the visionless and violent Lungu and his govt. Lungu must go. Forward with HH,GBM & UPND.
Maso yobe Mwape, Lungu will win these elections in the first round.
Iwe Mwape u must be a foolish bemba, even the number 1 soccer team needs to train to win games
pipo are you saying that the president named a university after chiluba when not even a brick has been laid?. awe bwafya
ba mumba bena kuculaculafye napakanwa kwati ni condom
You are right Kakolwe, ka Nevers chisushi sana. Instead of telling the people what UPND intends to do when they are in power, he prefers to talk against PF programs. Tapali eko muleya bane, Kuwaya waya fye!
More likely PF 90 days programs?
I am solidly FDD and even I know Edgar Lungu is winning these elections. Question is are you ready for us in FDD when we snatch those MP positions from the MMD, PF and UPND?
Non-existent MMD president informing us about a non-existent university. What shall we believe now? Yaba.
Try non existing vision and plan how to deal with IMF SAP?
Haha @Natural Justice – good one – appears the whole country is in mist mode: soon as the sun comes up all is gone.
Nevers is not honest. Just yesterday he desperately wanted to be ECL’s running mate. ECL realized Nevers would be a liability but gave him time to redeem himself at MMD. I dont think he would be saying this if he was chosen. He is adding to the list of PF bitter people going to support HH. You cannot build a nation on unit derived from a common enemy. ECL is a smart person and understands how to work with people. Shut UP
SATA named institutions like airports .stadium .hospitals that where already existing. I wish this was done to chiluba
Some comments from people supporting lawlessness remind me of two boys I caught ninshi bakenyela imishombo sha mafi muchibansa ca bola ku mushi to see who would produce the biggest umupili was mafi.
Wherever Mumba goes everything becomes worse or goes sour and sinks in steep overdrive, because Mumba has upset his creator, GOD. Mumba chipuba, Anyone who really supports the POST and Fred chitole Mmembe not paying taxes are enemies of Zambia number one and cannot be trusted with power. Lungu is busy scoring points and Mumba is busy scoring own goals together with his captain HH, aba bafikallah tabakwata mano. HH, Mumba, GBM matole yeka yeka no brains. What is wrong with naming Luapula university after Chiluba? What is wrong with collecting tax from the Post? Some of these people are worse than Kaunda.
The pastor has lost direction. Just listen to him ranting like a lunatic. Go back to the pulpit.
Fatal Error!
The political mindset software has permanently failed to load in the host Nevers Sekwila Mumba. Try reinstalling the previous evangelical application with a repentance patch.
Now thats what you call wit at its best lol
whether the university is there or not ecl ‘s move will still make a lot of sense because it’s made on firm grounds of ‘sontapo’. it contrasts sharply with someone promising heaven and earth on sand
After this election in August HH will just deflate himself because of the loss again. GBM will takeover UPND whether its members like it or not and pastor Nevers Mumba will help GBM to kill UPND FOREVER. Mumba kills parties, he has never been successful at anything political as his name suggests (Nevers) because God wanted him to serve him but he challenged God and now see what the wrath of God can do. This party, UPND your party will never be the same again. HH will go into political oblivion after August 11, and UPND will crash to ashes, mark my words. All the likes of Scott, Mumba, Masebo, GBM, Sampa, these people don’t mean well for this party at all, they will just destroy it and leave a shell and walk away from it, all this will happen next month.
Timely warning, you may not like…
Nshaishibe ati kwaliba na Luapula university. How can a sane person rename something that does not exist. Desperation ba Sir ECl. The Great Michael Sata only renamed Ndola stadium after completion.
who is the president of MMD kashi.. Did the court gave Mutati a go ahead to have a convention? what is happening to the people who are standing on MMD ticket?
SOMEONE PLEASE BE SERIOUS AND CONFIRM WHETHER OR NOT THE UNIVERSITY OF LUAPULA… NOW CHANGED TO FTJ UNIVERSITY EXISTS? SOMEONE ALSO CONFIRM IF MONGU STADIUM AND KING LEWANIKA UNIVERSITY ARE REALLY THERE? I WANT TO DECIDE WHO TO VOTE FOR.
BUSHE MA ONE NAKABILI ABENA JAMESON?
Iye ba Mumba
Bwekelenimo ku kulemba grade 12 you failure
