    • What we think about you?? You were the worst presidential aid ever you should be in jail, for firstly assaulting a female police officer in front of the president, shooting someone’s car, abduction and assault the list goes on.

  2. The most classic adage regarding trolling is, “Don’t feed the trolls.” Trolls seek out emotional responses and find provocation amusing, so replying to them or attempting to debate them will only make them troll more. By ignoring a troll completely, they will likely become frustrated and go somewhere else on the internet.

    You should try your best not to take anything trolls say seriously. No matter how poorly they behave, remember these people spend countless unproductive hours trying to make people mad. They’re not worth your time of day.

  4. A Civilian abducting 3 Policemen singlehandedly? It seems the MP was framed by the PF Policemen. Who were the witnesses to the abductions? The same “abducted” Policemen? It sounds unreal? Why couldn’t the Policemen escape from abduction from a sole MP? More questions than answers.

  5. Those who gave zambians expired and suicide drugs are not in courts.What about the 42 fire engine dealers,what about money laundering mongers displaying the kwacha in public like ma fire works yaba mwenye

  6. Scouser that is rich coming from a f00l who cannot even show his face here. What matters to me is that my beautiful wlfe finds me attractive.

    To the rest of you sensible bloggers, what I had in mind are examples of the amazing things that remind you of me. For example like when I saved a man’s life who was drowning in the kafue river after one of my boat parties.
