The 2016 LT Awards Results

Share

Firstly, we would like to wish all our site visitors a great and blessed 2017, and we take this opportunity to thank you for the support you have rendered to Lusaka Times. We chose to release the results today because it is the day most of our readers are back online after the New Year and Christmas holidays.

For some strange reason, 2016’s voting for awards was characterized with massive amateur rigging despite the fact that it is so easy to detect rigging in IP or Cookie based electronic voting. People employed bots to inflate numbers of certain candidates overnight. Using the now famous Data Science to clean up the data and Machine Learning Algorithms to detect fraud, we managed to audit the ballot boxes and discard all the fake votes that found their way in.

We are very confident that the results we present now are a true reflection of the choice and indeed the will of our readers. Unfortunately, nobody got over 50 % of the votes and we won’t welcome any calls for the amendment of the voting constitution to introduce the 50+1 vote. The simple past the post system will suffice for us. Besides, we had the nomination round where we eliminated the candidates who didn’t make it into the top five.

Without abusing your attention span any further, here are the results for LT 2016 Awards

    • Excellent results.

      I humble accept your votes wholeheartedly accept to continue being the voice of the voiceless.

      Having lost our last year to Nostradamus – I have picked myself up and raised gold again ( kidding)

      Thank you all and I promise to not be the one you loved to hate the most.

      Thank you LT and I wish all readers a great 2017.

      Thanks

      BB2014,16

    • Ndobo I know it’s hard to say congratulations. In case that’s what you meant – thank you 🙂
      The people have spoken not LT, not me.

      Congratulations to jay jay for the silver.

      I would like to humbly give up my MIB 2016.

      As great as that award my sound – I’m
      Mortified to be associated with it.

      Thanks

      BB2014,16

    • @Mushota, congratulations!!XoXoXoxo ….
      I lost because I didn’t pay nomination fees, just like Gen. MIYANDA did participate in 2016 presidential elections. Therefore, I will not petition these LT well explained how PF rigged.
      Congratulations again, with love..

    • Thank you Nostradamus

      By the way, I ofcourse missed out to you last year ( https://www.lusakatimes.com/2016/01/08/lt-2015-awards-for-com/)

      Thank you for all that voted for me for all and for whatever this is worth I am elated, and I hate to be associated with being the MIB.

      If Kudos can accept that award, I will humbly award pass that to him (MIB 2016). I refuse to accept I am Irritating. I am vilified and hated by the minority. Minority is the word – I should never have been nominated for that.

      Thanks

      BB-2014,16

    • @Ndobo, please spare LT. at least they tried to explain how they violeted our privacy. Why use IPs? These is the most irritating thing ever happened, worse than Snowden.
      LT 2016 had no rules or ballots from ECZ, therefore any voting pattern should have been accepted. Essau Chuulu accepted every ballot… The one to be in jail is not Mwaliteta, it’s the LT.
      Why know my computer IP?? Did I register as voter? I am not leaving LT alone.. wait I ask my lawyers Martha Mushipe.

    • Congrats Mushota and all other winners. It is strange though for one to be in both extremes (best blogger at the same time most irritating). I wanted you for the most irritating one but congrats still even for BB2016. Grow up now that you are a double BB as well as MIB2016.

    • Some UPND cadre declared himself BB2016 just like his president did. … HAHAHAHA! he forgot that mushota exists for good and bad.

    • Most irritating and also the best. Very strange combination. It is like an ITCH. It is irritating but you enjoy the scratching. This really sums up Mushota.

    • Mushota has won both 2016 Most Irritating Blocker (MIB) and 2016 Best Blocker (BB). So she will be writing ati MIB,BB 2016 after her comments,,,kkkkkkkkkkkkkk

  1. Great thanks to my fans who voted for me to emerge in the LT Best Blogger Top 5. Surprisingly some of you voted for me as irritating? Is it that you can’t handle the truth the way I spell it out?
    LT Staff, thank you for your wisdom, expertise and patience in weeding out Under 5 bloggers like NEZ who take on form their Under 5 father Kaponya (HH).
    Happy new 2017 to LT, the most balanced and popular news site.

    LT Top 5 (2016)

    • By the way congratulations to Brigadier Gen Godfrey Miyanda, the poor old soul, he should have been president at one time in the previous decade.
      These blog results should be headline news. It goes without saying that Antonio Mwanza is a brilliant representative of us youths, daily provoking the government in a constructive way, he’s even more mature than Kaponya (HH).

    • @Kudos, congratulations you irritating peace of…. Look below, not even 2 hrs past, you continue rigging. How many same irritating comments have you duplicated, just below??? These LT need be busy deleting these graffiti in 2017. We need dignity back.

    • Nostradamus thank you, Commrade 2020Vision, everyone. Top 5 in 2 categories I’m a Silver and Brass. It appears my message is being preached well to the masses. Useless nincompoops tried to rig Dudu mwezi style and they failed. NEZ is such a poor Under 5 like his failed father Kaponya (HH)

    • NEZ is the one who tried to rig the election by inflating his own votes. Good job LT. Join ECZ to get rid of pretenders like HH and NEZ.

  2. QBy the way congratulations to Brigadier Gen Godfrey Miyanda, the poor old soul, he should have been president at one time in the previous decade.

    Unfortunately Dundumwezi voting tipped the scales unfavourably for our president. 2021 will be rough if we keep politicking. Congratulations to this useless FO0L inferior Mushotan.y.oko

    Unfortunately Dundu mwezi voting tipped the scales unfavourably for our president. 2021 will be rough if we keep politicking. Kaponya (HH) can cause is headache. Congratulations to this use less F.O.0.L inferi0r Mushotan.y.oko

  4. Congrats to my fellow senior blogger Mushota for being voted best and most irritating blogger! Better to have a senior blogger than a new comer such as this Nez blood thirsty animal that is actually a t.umfweko reject. Comrade Kudos at least you made the top 5 well done!

  5. I still don’t undastand how the Most irritating Blogger isn’t Mr. Kudos, just look at his posts. But anyway, the pipo voted. Congrats to all the Winners!!

  6. Congratulations to Mushota and General Miyanda. But ba LT, bushe how is it possible to be irritating and best blogger at the same time? Mr Kudos won most irritating but you stole his vote like Lungu stole from HH.

  7. What methodology was used in this poll? Who participated in this poll? How representative was the sample? How was popularity measured? Unless LT answers these questions satisfactorily, the poll is nothing but a charade.

  8. Congrats HH , Antonio Mwanza & Gen Miyanda ,,you deserve the award for wat you genuinely are.

    The rest – Kaya,,

  9. Congratulations Moshota well done next to be Knighted
    Kudos my man ??keep and keeping on don’t give up.

    • I honestly do not know.

      I am certainly not happy I was nominated to be the MIB

      You and I both know, I am not irritating.

      Thanks

      BB 2014,16

  10. Kikiki now they want to claim that the elections were rigged. Lusaka times you have just embarrassed yourselves. Everyone knows that you are Pf sympathisers. I campaigned strongly on this forum and people voted for me. You cannot stand a upnd member winning as best blogger. Keep lying to yourselves. Deep down everyone saw the results and know who won. Today you want to claim they were rigged?? It took you how long to figure that out? As I said you are cursing v yourselves and your families. Your partners will be barren and your immediate families lives shortened. As for lung who pays you he is sick and everyone knows he is an hiv positive rat. Ask him about Ruth phiri who he pays to be quiet about his status. He won’t reach 2021 he is a dead man

    Best blogger 2016

    • That sounds childish and illogical.

      Commiseration. I have been brought up being taught, when you take short cuts, one day the short cut will appear not be quiet the short cut you had hoped for.

      Commiserations and welcome to LT.

      Maybe crime doesn’t pay after all ?

      Are you going to now leave this site as you threatened? I hope not, you are a great addition to this site.

      Thanks
      BB2014,16

    • @21
      Just listen to yourself, cry baby panty…! If you can not ‘win’ stupid things like LT BB, then you must be a worthless piece of floating shi.t! Now run back to Tumfweko where your little pinky is appreciated, you open sewer…

    • Kikiki ka mushota everyone knows you lost. Look how silly you look . Very pathetic. As I have said you have cursed yourself. You think I don’t have your ip address. You think being a admin to Lusaka times means that you should always win. Everyone saw the closing polls and know who won. You are just an illiterate silly chap whose only life is this website. Am sure lying to win these polls is your only achievement. Don’t worry soon you will achieve a death certificate. Mwana wagula iwe

    • Oh, what a bitter man you are! How foolish you look now for having prematurely declared yourself a winner! So sad. I advise you go back to the now stale Tumfweko which brings news two days after it happened.

  11. The 2016 most irritating blogger should be Kudos however, if NEZ continues on this path, he will be the most irritating blogger in 2017.

    • Take LT to the Concourt! Meanwhile whatever this is all about, congrats mwaice Mushota. It happens in life that half of the people will like you and half of them will dislike you and in the end you have 50% from each side. Funny polls!

  12. Mushota i dont like you but am pleased that you have won cos you deserve it. This year you came back strong and better. I sympathize with you though maybe because you could be my relative from our beloved bemba land (am not being tribal) …. Keep it up.
    @NEZ you cry too much. Its embarrassing. The ladder to success is a process and cannot be rigged, look at how Lungu will embarrassingly fail.
    @Jay Jay & Nastra, keep it up chaps.
    CHeers!

  13. @Mushota, what is your profession? are you a professional blogger. Calculate the time you have spent on blogging. Time is money

  14. I had a dream that the entire top pf leadership were in a plane with Lusaka times editors and administration and they all perished in a crash. I hope this is not true. My dreams never lie.

    • You must be a teenager? if not someone surely very thick to the core.

      I feel like I drop an IQ reading some of the drivel you spew.

      The only dream you had was that you woke up and realized, you have been caught red handed rigging a poll which is insignificant.

      You are free to have my MIB 2016. and congratulations for making the podium of the finalists.

      Greetings from glasgow.

      Thanks

      BB2014,16

    • I didn’t mention you in that post so why has it affected you. There I have proved it that mushota is indeed working part of Lusaka times. You people think we were born yesterday. Why are my attacks on Lusaka times agitating you. Kiki at Glasgow busy working for minimum wage. Come back home mune so that we have a debate face to face. You couldn’t believe that a upnd supporter had walloped you ba Lusaka times kikiki. Being partisan as a news website is just shallow . It is this type of thinking we are trying to do away with in Zambia. If lungu pays you then why not get employed as his private media. Why cheat genuine readers that you are impartial. As I have said mushota if you have won these elections through lies then I hope you die soon including your immediate family.

    • Oh NEZ, grow up! Is it in your DNA you UPND sycophants to be this EVIL and CHILDISH? These are just votes on a blog site for God’s sake!!!!!!!!!!!!

  15. This is the only attention mushota gets from men because in Scotland it’s well known than their men despise black women. Mushota is seen as a mere monkey coming to take advantage of their benefits and hiv drugs. Ati best blogger kikiki munama ndani imwe

  16. Better lucky in 2017 and well done in whatever category. It’s not the award that matters, it’s being felt like Mushota that matters. Can someone send me some bundles so that I keep pace with the likes of Mushota?

  17. Kikikik NEZ I told you. Take heart!!! Congrats Moshota and all the bloggers selected. NEZ wishing you well they is no need of raising your blood pressure. Don’t start filling in documents at the constitutional court please.

  18. Congratulations @ Mushota.. Both awards are befitting, you are very irritating most times but at the same time something we can not do away with.. you are bitter-sweet…lolest.
    Senior citizen is mature.. General Miyanda indeed deserved to win!

    ..@NEZ all the best as you go back to the drawing board. It is funny that even when you tried your best to be very irritating to win an award, people still took it that you just wanted to win something and did not vote for you.

  19. Congratulations to Mushota for winning both awards, indeed you deserve both, though you’re irritating most of the times, you rock. Irritating in a better way kkkkkkkkk

  20. Ba Mudala ba NEZ you take things too personal. So what if it is rigged, what do you have to lose. What investment did you put in. Maybe we are dealing with a teenager here.One day you should show us your face. Over silly things you cant even eat or sleep.

  21. I knew Mushota would win she draws the attention of everyone some times she changes the subject matter of the post and everyone start responding to her and I know there are people who first want to see what Mushota has posted.. Congratulations Mushota

  22. So, NEZ still thinks he is the legitimate winner of 2016 LT best blogger award. He still maintains the name ‘ NEZ (new educated Zambia UPND ) BEST BLOGGER 2016.’ These UPND chaps can really live in denial ahhh!!!!! hahahahahaha really laughable! This chap is just following his *****ic top fool brainless leader. shame on them both.

    And to Mushota, now that you’re recognized, minimize advertising your empty skull and start contributing serious which can help move LT forward not just bragging about your oversea’s life, unverified academic qualifications and so on. Its high time you grow up chap!!!! but meanwhile smh
