BAROTSELAND’S MISMANAGED INFRASTRUCTURE
Bo Imasiku Sibitwane (AKA) Sha,
Reading this from Bo Lisulo, now you may know exactly what the late Her Ladyship Gladys Mutukwa meant when she said, "Having very little knowledge is damaging." Consequently, this may explain why zambia will take long to attain any semblance of meaningful development in all areas. For this reason I want to officially withdraw from this august forum especially after seeing that no official invitation was extended to me to begin with. I rather mistakenly thought I would gradually benefit from some pockets of intellectual intercourse hereon from a few individuals who would seriously analyze some pertinent national and personal issues but I guess I was too hopeful. What i have noticed is that there is a greater response to postings or emails that are inclined to the sensually profane and ones that appeal more to the waist down wards rather than exciting my cranial department. I was almost excusing myself from this forum, because my brain is very small and am particularly wary of what i feed it with. My brain cells were even beginning to suffer from a rare form of cerebral degeneracy.
In retrospect, however I have since resolved that it is our mission as BAROTSES i believe, to rid Zambians and the world of self imposed ignorance on certain matters of great import so as to foster genuine national unity. This is in contrast to the current situation where we just pretend and ignore burning issues brewing under foot. There has been several constitution review commissions that have been held but all have regrettably failed to address this issue conclusively. It really saddens me when grown members of the Homo sapien species willingly decide not to know or not believe or not understand material presented to them in so clear a manner because of their inability to comprehend.
When I furnished them with a copy of The Barotseland Agreement 1964 I was rather naively hoping they would be schooled in the art Logical Thought and Reasoning which should serve to help them appreciate what led to their country’s founding. The discerning mind will realize that this Document is the only basis there is for MALOZI to be called Zambians and it is the only thing that will truly reconcile Malozi to the entity called zambia. Is it that important you ask? You betcha! This is a very important document that SHOULD unite ‘us’ as ‘ZAMBIANS’. I would like anyone who sees anything seditious and treasonable about it to write to me, clearly highlighting which parts these are. What Malozi have been belabouring to explain to Zambians with little success is that this document MUST be respected or RESTORED for us to be truly united as a people in a united zambia because as Barotseland we ARE and were a Nation with a National Anthem, National FLAG and National Dress code even before zambia was born take me to court for this if what I have said is a piece of historical inaccuracy .I do challenge thee this very minute!
Since we signed it,rather unfortunately, what it means is we must , may or can only co-exist in accordance with the clauses and terms enshrined therein. Long years of passed on misinformation and scary ignorance has perpetrated a totally wrong and incorrect notion about the intentions of Barotse nationals. Mr. Lisulo and many like him, ought to have appreciated this fact by now but NO this is what he writes back, “You lozi chaps- can you stop using a derogatory and colonial term such as Barotseland !!!!!!!!!!! You chaps must know that this term was started by the stupid British colonialists after they failed to pronounce ba-lozi. And do you chaps want WP to be a state ?????? With all the sand there ????????? Guys be serious !!!!!!!
BAROTSELAND is the name of our homeland Forever! Choke on that if you may. The ROTSE in Barotseland is our SOTHO language which means PLAIN. So Barotseland is simply “PEOPLE OF THE PLAIN as in BAROTSE PLAINS. Contrary to the way Mr.Lisulo wants to mislead the untaught Zambian masses, it was NEVER suggested by what he calls ‘stupid’ British Colonialists. Guess who is S-T-U-P-I-D Now? May this gentleman know and hopefully realise that the original inhabitants of Barotseland (Aluyana) spoke and speak Siluyana or (kwangwa) may the always enlightened Barotses please correct me where I may over embellish the truth as unlikely as it may be of course.
I want to say this to Mr.Lisulo in as plain a language as I can possibly muster for the gentleman to understand. The following languages only sound slightly different because of the diverse ethnic interactions they have encountered in geographical localities its speakers find themselves. Because of this form of dispersion there results a form of linguistic stratigraphy of sorts making Si Sotho, Si Tswana, SiPedi, SiKololo not so different and of which LOZI also happens to be a variant. Are you alright thus far Bo Lisulo? Come on then, do not look so stupefied you have to catch up now. This is not Infinitesimal calculus relax! Silozi or our version of SiSotho has over the years become modified by languages spoken by people who once hailed from Angola and Congo but are now proud inhabitants of Barotseland. Therefore, Basutholand and Barotseland have unbreakable cultural ties, period.
Bo Imasiku Sibitwane, with your permission my brother,kindly allow me to ask Bo LISULO if he has the brains God gave a flee(Ok, this is not exactly civil of me to say so I take it back.) you see my current problem is I am at me wits end for I know not whether to joke or be as serious and candid as possible as he may be our Lost brother after all. It is just that I relished the idea of spicing up the point in a courser way. The question to him is,” What language it is or where does he think the Sibitwane in your name comes from?” Like I always say,” The beauty with HISTORY is no matter how hard you try you can NEVER ever change it, unless of course you invented a Time Machine.” Like My favourite reggae poet says, “Search your History and it will show, if you know not from whence you came you are doomed to live in shame.” – Mutabaruka (The greatest radical poet alive, well by my reckoning of course).
Have you ever wondered why Barotses are so different? Not better, just culturally different. You Zambians have on countless number of times openly chosen to insult the Zambian Head of State, only material written to the editors in your local tabloids that is carnal and insolent gets preference for publication thus you continuously disrespect the President for the outside world to see and hear, even your young children and marketeers on the streets disrespect him because you celebrate news publications that insult him is such a vile fashion. You have allowed your opinions and reasoning to be shaped by these news papers. It is truly sad in our Barotseland we can never do what you do even when we grossly disagree with the way we are governed as Barotseland. We have channels of respectfully airing our disapproval and seeking redress for most contentious issues. Occasionally though, even our tempers do run high but our better and cultured nature quickly takes over to sober us up. I guess in the end its what makes us who we are,Proud Barotses. TRUTH sure does have this nasty piecing sensation to the ear, does it not my dear sire?
While you celebrate your ceremonies the way you do by smearing yourselves in charcoal ash and your wise chiefs drink goat blood, we do not. It is alright, I guess. Hey, which reminds me, Bo Lisulo did you see chief Macha in one of your daily tabloids really ‘struggling’ to fit in and look dignified in the presence of True Royal Splendor? He did look very nice actually. Most honest Zambians have conceded that while they have chiefs what we have as Barotseland is a line of Kings (Litungas) of which the current one is His Royal Highness The Litunga Lubosi Imwiko II. When our Kings usually travel to Buckingham Palace and other Royal residences around the world they are duly received and acknoledged as such. I just thought I could interest with some piece of Royal trivia.
As for whether Bo Lisulo is Tonga or a lost brother is something left to conjecture. My wildest guess tells me he could most certainly be a ‘Cuban’ on this I could bet my white African teeth. You know, neither Tonga nor Lozi that kind of thing. For I can not embrace his logic and reasoning as it is so unBarotse-like and I do not want to think of him as Tonga (Tribal cousin)because my brothers are quite brilliant, well the few of them I have had the pleasure of making an acquaintance of.
Truth be told, We are BAROTSELAND FOREVER, choke on that. You can inform your shushushu relatives to follow me, but know this today; some of us are beyond intimidation. Even if it came to me stopping a bullet. Zambia shall unite the day WE stop hiding these TRUTHS from the citizenry.
This is why when Barotses go to South Africa, Botswana, Namibia, Lesotho we can freely speak SiLOZI and our brothers understand us without much trouble. Guess who I support when South Africa National football team is playing zambia, with what you call your ‘National’ team? Yes, you are smart after all, you guessed it, it’s a No brainer.
Did you know that Channel Africa as a Radio station has a slot that features SiLozi through and through? It is embarrassing to learn that some Mushoooota misinformation government official character once protested to Channel Africa, rather unsuccessfully am glad to add, to cancel SiLozi from this station and replace it with what they thought was a language spoken more in zambia. The South Africans explained that we share more historical ties with Barotseland than he knew. Do you know that when you speak some of these dialects you have, in South Africa the locals there reach to safe guard their wallets!
In ending, may I share this universal thought, “Truth crushed to earth shall rise again from the Root, for the Eternal years of God are Hers. But Error, wounded, writhes in pain and dies among its worshipers.”
You are right Bo Imasiku Sibitwane when you said to Bo Lisulo, “Come home son, come, our arms are open for you!” Before your remaining brains wane off completely. Am actually looking forward to meeting you in person of this am confident as I believe and strongly so that, “There is order in the Cosmos”

Goodmorning Bo Ndubi, Sorry for replying rather late.
Kindly correct me if am wrong but the incident you cited was one afternoon in parliament I would not want to forget. If my memory serves me right it must have been Honourable Mulasikwanda who was referring to her homeland by its name, only to be taken aback by a speaker hailing from the same Nation, reacting under invisible pressure to say what he said, which he obviously deemed more politically correct and palatable to the powers that be. I would not be too wrong if I assumed he was hailed as a truly progressive Patriot, zambian that is! It is perfectly understandable, as not all Barotses are brave enough to stand for the defense of their Nation. “Just at the mention of the same(Barotseland) the current able Speaker of the National Assembly Amusa Mwanamwambwa curtailed that MP's debate and reminded him to withdraw the statement and added that in so far as the current law of the land was concerned there was no such a place in the country Zambia called Barotseland.” For the umpteenth time, therein lies the fatal flaw and Achilles heel in your country’s founding. For once you may at least agree with me on this matter that to make the mention of Barotseland a parliamentary taboo is sad, but that is what they had done. What are they scared of, it does not make sense. That great pundit Mahatma Gandhi once said, “Your future depends on what you do in the present.” By the same token, what is zambia’s future has been cast in stone by what it has done in the past and continues to do in the present especially regarding the matter of Barotseland. This may partly explain why zambia will forever struggle with many problems as it is haunted by certain aspects of its coming to be that were gravely mishandled. This has effectively spawned disunity which will weaken it further eventually making its people unable to confront her challenges in unison as a united force. It is indeed a fallacy, an exercise in wishful thinking, and only exists by choice as a figment of one’s imagination to assume that zambia is united, proud and free, the moment this fact completely registers in serious people’s mind and the hearts of decision makers then we will be making the first baby steps to true development.
The unitary state is mentioned in the zambian constitution but in a sinister ploy they refuse to overtly make mention, in legal phraseology and take cognizance of the entities that made up the union or unitary nation. Now kindly contrast these machinations with what happened with the formation of the Unitary state of Tanzania. Tanganyika and Zanzibar united to form the Republic of Tanzania but as opposed to the zambian scenario Zanzibar still exists and is respected as a very integral part of that country. It was not insulted by demeaning it and degrading it to the level of an administrative province and subjected to a subtle form of economic blockade. Another case, Scotland The Brave’s place in the Union of Great Britain is very distinct and obvious. The banner of St. Andrew or Saltire(National Flag of Scotland) still proudly flies and adorns many government edifices in Scotland. Although, as you may well know by now since you strike me as one that is abreast with most issues, their union is currently shaky and Scotland will be voting in a referendum about whether they should remain part of that Union. Sir Sean Connery has vowed never to set foot in Scotland until it is free(just some piece of trivia to interest you) The examples above may be assessed for relevance considering the points am belaboring to make. These matters must be addressed as openly as can be managed for ZAMBIA(Is it punctuated alright now my most learned Sire?) to make genuine progress in her quest to equitably develop its vast land. In future I would like to be cited as one that was never scared to set things right despite people strong desire to willfully forget important matters that are crucial to fully defining its total national character. Only when this is done will you begin to have and inspire men and women who can be called PATRIOTS. I do very much appreciate what your children are learning, they must be at a good school. Your wise investment in their education as a good parent will certainly pay off as they will be well rounded individuals, better equipped to face the challenges of their country, fully respecting the ethnicities in its borders and the various roles they have played and continue to play.
May I suggest that at an appropriate time in these debates we try to assess the quality of the curriculum or syllabi that children are exposed to in primary school. Is it still relevant to the challenges of the 21 st Century and beyond? Do we need to urgently change or modernize it. What did we learn at what stage and is it still practical and beneficial that we be subjected to the same pedagogy. Escalate this further to assess the mushrooming nursery schools strewn all across zambian suburbia and the standard of teachers there. If you think this is not necessary wait until your child at nursery,welfare Hall,church(moonlighting as a school)comes home saying something as confusing as , “ You are going where?” then you will take interest in the quality of academic instruction they are receiving.
This is my humble submission for your consideration.
NAMAKANDO NALIKANDO SINYAMA’S PERSONAL DISCLAIMER TO THE EMERGENCY SPAM MAIL
Dear All,
I would like to most sincerely apologize for any emotional anguish and excitement that this whole spamming charade has caused.
This was most certainly from a bunch of desperate ‘Nigerians’ hell bent on using my name to milk money from the severely gullible(with due respect to those who fell for it and bought the scam Hook, Line, Sinker and floater plus Rod!(We are talking serious fishing here). What I find most unfortunate though, is that they are intent on profiteering from a few people’s true fondness of me. This I find utterly disturbing! What guts me the most is that one of my brothers had even sent some of his hard earned money to these confidence tricksters.
MY WARNING IS THIS : KINDLY DO NOT OPEN ANY MAIL PURPOTING TO BE FROM THE YAHOO MAIL ADMINISTRATION TEAM INFORMING YOU OF YOUR BOX NEARING EXPIRY.THEY THEN ADVISE YOU TO FURNISH THEM WITH YOUR DETAILS ,THEY RESPECTFULLY REQUEST PERMISSION TO ACCESS YOUR CONTACTS ,WHICH THEY THEN USE TO UNLEASH THIS SPAM
Kindly note that reports of my wonder-lust and travel adventures are highly exaggerated. What you have been receiving in a carefully orchestrated cynical chain e-mail which is meant to hoodwink you into sending money to some unknown account. This mail could have been sent to anyone there is no need to panic. I would like to humbly suggest that our IT team verify and fortify our networks and heighten security protocols. What is even more baffling is am not even on ZRA mail.
Even as I agree that my financial situation is not one I could write home about but please DO NOT SEND ANY MONEY to anyone who answers to my name and shares my e-mail if that is possible. To the best of my memory I never did travel not even in my usual states of transcendental meditation in Asingular consciousness via Teleportation. There is a very serious wave of spamming activity that has caused many search engines like google to slow down and some have even crashed.
I would like to take this opportunity to truly thank all those who were quick to try and contact me so as to verify my well being and whereabouts . It is in times like these albeit, a terrible hoax, that you get to know who is who in your circle of ‘Friends’!
Best Regards,

When our Kings usually travel to Buckingham Palace and other Royal residences around the world they are duly received and acknoledged as such. I just thought I could interest with some piece of Royal trivia.
As for whether Bo Lisulo is Tonga or a lost brother is something left to conjecture. My wildest guess tells me he could most certainly be a ‘Cuban’ on this I could bet my white African teeth. You know, neither Tonga nor Lozi that kind of thing. For I can not embrace his logic and reasoning as it is so unBarotse-like and I do not want to think of him as Tonga (Tribal cousin)because my brothers are quite brilliant, well the few of them I have had the pleasure of making an acquaintance of.
Truth be told, We are BAROTSELAND FOREVER, choke on that. You can inform your shushushu relatives to follow me, but know this today; some of us are beyond intimidation. Even if it came to me stopping a bullet. Zambia shall unite the day WE stop hiding these TRUTHS from the citizenry.
This is why when Barotses go to South Africa, Botswana, Namibia, Lesotho we can freely speak SiLOZI and our brothers understand us without much trouble. Guess who I support when South Africa National football team is playing zambia, with what you call your ‘National’ team? Yes, you are smart after all, you guessed it, it’s a No brainer.
Did you know that Channel Africa as a Radio station has a slot that features SiLozi through and through? It is embarrassing to learn that some Mushoooota misinformation government official character once protested to Channel Africa, rather unsuccessfully am glad to add, to cancel SiLozi from this station and replace it with what they thought was a language spoken more in zambia. The South Africans explained that we share more historical ties with Barotseland than he knew. Do you know that when you speak some of these dialects you have, in South Africa the locals there reach to safe guard their wallets!
In ending, may I share this universal thought, “Truth crushed to earth shall rise again from the Root, for the Eternal years of God are Hers. But Error, wounded, writhes in pain and dies among its worshipers.”
You are right Bo Imasiku Sibitwane when you said to Bo Lisulo, “Come home son, come, our arms are open for you!” Before your remaining brains wane off completely. Am actually looking forward to meeting you in person of this am confident as I believe and strongly so that, “There is order in the Cosmos”

BAROTSELAND’S MISMANAGED INFRASTRUCTURE
Bo Imasiku Sibitwane (AKA) Sha,
Reading this from Bo Lisulo, now you may know exactly what the late Her Ladyship Gladys Mutukwa meant when she said, "Having very little knowledge is damaging." Consequently, this may explain why zambia will take long to attain any semblance of meaningful development in all areas. For this reason I want to officially withdraw from this august forum especially after seeing that no official invitation was extended to me to begin with. I rather mistakenly thought I would gradually benefit from some pockets of intellectual intercourse hereon from a few individuals who would seriously analyze some pertinent national and personal issues but I guess I was too hopeful. What i have noticed is that there is a greater response to postings or emails that are inclined to the sensually profane and ones that appeal more to the waist down wards rather than exciting my cranial department. I was almost excusing myself from this forum, because my brain is very small and am particularly wary of what i feed it with. My brain cells were even beginning to suffer from a rare form of cerebral degeneracy.
In retrospect, however I have since resolved that it is our mission as BAROTSES i believe, to rid Zambians and the world of self imposed ignorance on certain matters of great import so as to foster genuine national unity. This is in contrast to the current situation where we just pretend and ignore burning issues brewing under foot. There has been several constitution review commissions that have been held but all have regrettably failed to address this issue conclusively. It really saddens me when grown members of the Homo sapien species willingly decide not to know or not believe or not understand material presented to them in so clear a manner because of their inability to comprehend.
When I furnished them with a copy of The Barotseland Agreement 1964 I was rather naively hoping they would be schooled in the art Logical Thought and Reasoning which should serve to help them appreciate what led to their country’s founding. The discerning mind will realize that this Document is the only basis there is for MALOZI to be called Zambians and it is the only thing that will truly reconcile Malozi to the entity called zambia. Is it that important you ask? You betcha! This is a very important document that SHOULD unite ‘us’ as ‘ZAMBIANS’. I would like anyone who sees anything seditious and treasonable about it to write to me, clearly highlighting which parts these are. What Malozi have been belabouring to explain to Zambians with little success is that this document MUST be respected or RESTORED for us to be truly united as a people in a united zambia because as Barotseland we ARE and were a Nation with a National Anthem, National FLAG and National Dress code even before zambia was born take me to court for this if what I have said is a piece of historical inaccuracy .I do challenge thee this very minute!
Since we signed it,rather unfortunately, what it means is we must , may or can only co-exist in accordance with the clauses and terms enshrined therein. Long years of passed on misinformation and scary ignorance has perpetrated a totally wrong and incorrect notion about the intentions of Barotse nationals. Mr. Lisulo and many like him, ought to have appreciated this fact by now but NO this is what he writes back, “You lozi chaps- can you stop using a derogatory and colonial term such as Barotseland !!!!!!!!!!! You chaps must know that this term was started by the stupid British colonialists after they failed to pronounce ba-lozi. And do you chaps want WP to be a state ?????? With all the sand there ????????? Guys be serious !!!!!!!
BAROTSELAND is the name of our homeland Forever! Choke on that if you may. The ROTSE in Barotseland is our SOTHO language which means PLAIN. So Barotseland is simply “PEOPLE OF THE PLAIN as in BAROTSE PLAINS. Contrary to the way Mr.Lisulo wants to mislead the untaught Zambian masses, it was NEVER suggested by what he calls ‘stupid’ British Colonialists. Guess who is S-T-U-P-I-D Now? May this gentleman know and hopefully realise that the original inhabitants of Barotseland (Aluyana) spoke and speak Siluyana or (kwangwa) may the always enlightened Barotses please correct me where I may over embellish the truth as unlikely as it may be of course.
I want to say this to Mr.Lisulo in as plain a language as I can possibly muster for the gentleman to understand. The following languages only sound slightly different because of the diverse ethnic interactions they have encountered in geographical localities its speakers find themselves. Because of this form of dispersion there results a form of linguistic stratigraphy of sorts making Si Sotho, Si Tswana, SiPedi, SiKololo not so different and of which LOZI also happens to be a variant. Are you alright thus far Bo Lisulo? Come on then, do not look so stupefied you have to catch up now. This is not Infinitesimal calculus relax! Silozi or our version of SiSotho has over the years become modified by languages spoken by people who once hailed from Angola and Congo but are now proud inhabitants of Barotseland. Therefore, Basutholand and Barotseland have unbreakable cultural ties, period.
Bo Imasiku Sibitwane, with your permission my brother,kindly allow me to ask Bo LISULO if he has the brains God gave a flee(Ok, this is not exactly civil of me to say so I take it back.) you see my current problem is I am at me wits end for I know not whether to joke or be as serious and candid as possible as he may be our Lost brother after all. It is just that I relished the idea of spicing up the point in a courser way. The question to him is,” What language it is or where does he think the Sibitwane in your name comes from?” Like I always say,” The beauty with HISTORY is no matter how hard you try you can NEVER ever change it, unless of course you invented a Time Machine.” Like My favourite reggae poet says, “Search your History and it will show, if you know not from whence you came you are doomed to live in shame.” – Mutabaruka (The greatest radical poet alive, well by my reckoning of course).
Have you ever wondered why Barotses are so different? Not better, just culturally different. You Zambians have on countless number of times openly chosen to insult the Zambian Head of State, only material written to the editors in your local tabloids that is carnal and insolent gets preference for publication thus you continuously disrespect the President for the outside world to see and hear, even your young children and marketeers on the streets disrespect him because you celebrate news publications that insult him is such a vile fashion. You have allowed your opinions and reasoning to be shaped by these news papers. It is truly sad in our Barotseland we can never do what you do even when we grossly disagree with the way we are governed as Barotseland. We have channels of respectfully airing our disapproval and seeking redress for most contentious issues. Occasionally though, even our tempers do run high but our better and cultured nature quickly takes over to sober us up. I guess in the end its what makes us who we are,Proud Barotses. TRUTH sure does have this nasty piecing sensation to the ear, does it not my dear sire?
While you celebrate your ceremonies the way you do by smearing yourselves in charcoal ash and your wise chiefs drink goat blood, we do not. It is alright, I guess. Hey, which reminds me, Bo Lisulo did you see chief Macha in one of your daily tabloids really ‘struggling’ to fit in and look dignified in the presence of True Royal Splendor? He did look very nice actually. Most honest Zambians have conceded that while they have chiefs what we have as Barotseland is a line of Kings (Litungas) of which the current one is His Royal Highness The Litunga Lubosi Imwiko II. When our Kings usually travel to Buckingham Palace and other Royal residences around the world they are duly received and acknoledged as such. I just thought I could interest with some piece of Royal trivia.

For I can not embrace his logic and reasoning as it is so unBarotse-like and I do not want to think of him as Tonga (Tribal cousin)because my brothers are quite brilliant, well the few of them I have had the pleasure of making an acquaintance of.

Goodmorning Bo Ndubi, Sorry for replying rather late.
Kindly correct me if am wrong but the incident you cited was one afternoon in parliament I would not want to forget. If my memory serves me right it must have been Honourable Mulasikwanda who was referring to her homeland by its name, only to be taken aback by a speaker hailing from the same Nation, reacting under invisible pressure to say what he said, which he obviously deemed more politically correct and palatable to the powers that be. I would not be too wrong if I assumed he was hailed as a truly progressive Patriot, zambian that is! It is perfectly understandable, as not all Barotses are brave enough to stand for the defense of their Nation. “Just at the mention of the same(Barotseland) the current able Speaker of the National Assembly Amusa Mwanamwambwa curtailed that MP's debate and reminded him to withdraw the statement and added that in so far as the current law of the land was concerned there was no such a place in the country Zambia called Barotseland.” For the umpteenth time, therein lies the fatal flaw and Achilles heel in your country’s founding. For once you may at least agree with me on this matter that to make the mention of Barotseland a parliamentary taboo is sad, but that is what they had done. What are they scared of, it does not make sense. That great pundit Mahatma Gandhi once said, “Your future depends on what you do in the present.” By the same token, what is zambia’s future has been cast in stone by what it has done in the past and continues to do in the present especially regarding the matter of Barotseland. This may partly explain why zambia will forever struggle with many problems as it is haunted by certain aspects of its coming to be that were gravely mishandled. This has effectively spawned disunity which will weaken it further eventually making its people unable to confront her challenges in unison as a united force. It is indeed a fallacy, an exercise in wishful thinking, and only exists by choice as a figment of one’s imagination to assume that zambia is united, proud and free, the moment this fact completely registers in serious people’s mind and the hearts of decision makers then we will be making the first baby steps to true development.
The unitary state is mentioned in the zambian constitution but in a sinister ploy they refuse to overtly make mention, in legal phraseology and take cognizance of the entities that made up the union or unitary nation. Now kindly contrast these machinations with what happened with the formation of the Unitary state of Tanzania. Tanganyika and Zanzibar united to form the Republic of Tanzania but as opposed to the zambian scenario Zanzibar still exists and is respected as a very integral part of that country. It was not insulted by demeaning it and degrading it to the level of an administrative province and subjected to a subtle form of economic blockade. Another case, Scotland The Brave’s place in the Union of Great Britain is very distinct and obvious. The banner of St. Andrew or Saltire(National Flag of Scotland) still proudly flies and adorns many government edifices in Scotland. Although, as you may well know by now since you strike me as one that is abreast with most issues, their union is currently shaky and Scotland will be voting in a referendum about whether they should remain part of that Union. Sir Sean Connery has vowed never to set foot in Scotland until it is free(just some piece of trivia to interest you) The examples above may be assessed for relevance considering the points am belaboring to make. These matters must be addressed as openly as can be managed for ZAMBIA(Is it punctuated alright now my most learned Sire?) to make genuine progress in her quest to equitably develop its vast land. In future I would like to be cited as one that was never scared to set things right despite people strong desire to willfully forget important matters that are crucial to fully defining its total national character. Only when this is done will you begin to have and inspire men and women who can be called PATRIOTS. I do very much appreciate what your children are learning, they must be at a good school. Your wise investment in their education as a good parent will certainly pay off as they will be well rounded individuals, better equipped to face the challenges of their country, fully respecting the ethnicities in its borders and the various roles they have played and continue to play.
May I suggest that at an appropriate time in these debates we try to assess the quality of the curriculum or syllabi that children are exposed to in primary school. Is it still relevant to the challenges of the 21 st Century and beyond? Do we need to urgently change or modernize it. What did we learn at what stage and is it still practical and beneficial that we be subjected to the same pedagogy. Escalate this further to assess the mushrooming nursery schools strewn all across zambian suburbia and the standard of teachers there. If you think this is not necessary wait until your child at nursery,welfare Hall,church(moonlighting as a school)comes home saying something as confusing as , “ You are going where?” then you will take interest in the quality of academic instruction they are receiving.
This is my humble submission for your consideration.
NAMAKANDO NALIKANDO SINYAMA’S PERSONAL DISCLAIMER TO THE EMERGENCY SPAM MAIL
Dear All,
I would like to most sincerely apologize for any emotional anguish and excitement that this whole spamming charade has caused.
This was most certainly from a bunch of desperate ‘Nigerians’ hell bent on using my name to milk money from the severely gullible(with due respect to those who fell for it and bought the scam Hook, Line, Sinker and floater plus Rod!(We are talking serious fishing here). What I find most unfortunate though, is that they are intent on profiteering from a few people’s true fondness of me. This I find utterly disturbing! What guts me the most is that one of my brothers had even sent some of his hard earned money to these confidence tricksters.
MY WARNING IS THIS : KINDLY DO NOT OPEN ANY MAIL PURPOTING TO BE FROM THE YAHOO MAIL ADMINISTRATION TEAM INFORMING YOU OF YOUR BOX NEARING EXPIRY.THEY THEN ADVISE YOU TO FURNISH THEM WITH YOUR DETAILS ,THEY RESPECTFULLY REQUEST PERMISSION TO ACCESS YOUR CONTACTS ,WHICH THEY THEN USE TO UNLEASH THIS SPAM
Kindly note that reports of my wonder-lust and travel adventures are highly exaggerated. What you have been receiving in a carefully orchestrated cynical chain e-mail which is meant to hoodwink you into sending money to some unknown account. This mail could have been sent to anyone there is no need to panic. I would like to humbly suggest that our IT team verify and fortify our networks and heighten security protocols. What is even more baffling is am not even on ZRA mail.
Even as I agree that my financial situation is not one I could write home about but please DO NOT SEND ANY MONEY to anyone who answers to my name and shares my e-mail if that is possible. To the best of my memory I never did travel not even in my usual states of transcendental meditation in Asingular consciousness via Teleportation. There is a very serious wave of spamming activity that has caused many search engines like google to slow down and some have even crashed.
I would like to take this opportunity to truly thank all those who were quick to try and contact me so as to verify my well being and whereabouts . It is in times like these albeit, a terrible hoax, that you get to know who is who in your circle of ‘Friends’!
Best Regards,

ON THE NATIONAL FLAG OF BAROTSELAND
Dear Mr.Flag,
My heart was deeply gladdened when i came across your site that presented me an opportunity to finally own my National flag and which i had long intended to have adorn my home frontage. I actually ticked the item and included it in my online shopping basket and had plans of distributing it and encouraging my fellow Barotses to visit your site and order their personal Flags of their Nation. My enthusiasm however was quickly dashed when i read your description of my National Flag as Historic(having connotations of disused,former and obsolete).
Is St.Andrew's Saltire(Official Scottish Flag )historic and thus obsolete in this day when they are still part of Great Britain?(We know not though how long they will remain or be of that Union either) Let the truth be known that by the same token the Flag of the Nation Barotseland in not and shall NEVER be obsolete despite our having united with another region to make an unholy union with economically devastating consequences for our people i might add. Before Zambia was born the Nation of Barotseland already had its own National flag and National anthem. The country called Zambia was only born in 1964 and it would not be having its current borders if Barotseland is not a key part of it and well deserving of due recognition as such. Therefore, you ought to appreciate just how insulting it must feel in Barotseland where patriotic sentiments run deep to see a website deliberately or otherwise, berating their Nationhood! It is therefore my advice to Mr.Flag to be cautious and exercised some degree of tact before you describe any National symbols in a very loose, casual, and cavalier and not so well informed ways.
On behalf of the Nation of Barotseland and all its Proud Nationals i would like to commend you for stocking our National symbol and they will be communicated to about its availability from Mr.Flag.
Best Regards,
Namakando Nalikando Sinyama

2. I believe it was the late Gladys Mutukwa who once said, “Having very little knowledge is damaging. ” There is a very strong possibility that most of the people are commenting on issues they think they know about when in actual fact are merely parroting sentiments and arguments they have over heard on a minibus or in the local bar. If you are saying things you do not know much about or are not even true then you hide behind a pseudonym/alias and what not that is cowardice of the worst order.
N.B. Kindly find your own personal copy of THE BAROTSELAND AGREEEMENT 1964 and a piece i Titled “THE NCC AND THE BAROTSELAND QUESTION “so that next time you debate you will talk intelligently from a point of empowered knowledge.
BAROTSELAND, we have a National Flag, National Anthem and a National Dress Code. We are not special people, better than any other. We are who we are and it will never change. Lets share and celebrate our differences we hold our ceremony the way we do, others drink goat blood as they walk around clad in animal skins smeared in ash, which is what defines them as a people. The British did not teach us order, etiquette and organized society they found them. To the best of my knowledge we never threw stones to liberate ourselves from the British, what civility indeed! Of course i stand to be corrected on this. You just cannot change history no matter how hard you want to try.
I must commend everyone active on this message board. The quality of some of the writing is quite superb, its one i never thought even existed in this part of Afrika. To Stalin i say your writing is exceptional. I would like you to give me a few pointers on how to write better but of course in the end it may have a lot to do with ones early academic instruction. I am not exactly sure just to what extent the occasional negativity and questionable taste and choice of language on this forum would do to ones intellectual well being.
To everyone, i submit, that since you all seem to have unanimously agreed to carry on with this obviously deemed enriching debates on futile politics, albeit draining to the spirit. Is it possible we begin another parallel debate where we can use our wit to provide practical solutions to challenges we face? To be exciting i would encourage witty vulgarities so that we keep everyone glued especially those who seem hooked to the profane!!!

MY MANUAL OF STEREO-TYPING NATIONALITIES
On a group of beautiful deserted islands in the middle of nowhere, the following people are suddenly stranded by, as you might expect, a shipwreck: 2 Italian men and 1 Italian woman2 French men and 1 French woman2 German men and 1 German woman2 Greek men and 1 Greek woman2 English men and 1 English woman2 Bulgarian men and 1 Bulgarian woman2 Japanese men and 1 Japanese woman2 Chinese men and 1 Chinese woman2 American men and 1 American woman2 Irish men and 1 Irish woman One month later on these same absolutely stunning deserted islands in the middle of nowhere, the following things have occurred:
THEY ARE FOLLOWED BY MY INTERPRETATION OF WHAT HAPPENED IN BRACKETS
/*One Italian man killed the other Italian man for the Italian woman.
(For me this shows the Italian’s over reliance on violence as a way of solving problems. This character trait is forever immortalized in Hollywood as Mafia pictures when the code of La Cosa Nostra is lived to the letter in protecting La Familia.)
/*The two French men and the French woman are living happily together in a ménage-a-trois. (Typical of French society, they will always be revered for their socio-liberalism and their near obsession with sensual gratification, to paraphrase, if there are 3 consenting adults why not indeed!)
/*The two German men have a strict weekly schedule of alternating visits with the German woman. (The German’s desire and insistence on Discipline, Order and Perfection in all they do comes out here. These are the Furher’s boys living the true meaning of their creed. That is why we will forever chant, “Dem Furher Einte Gergen Arbeitten.” If you need a typical example of Hitler’s inspirational legacy of Order and the pursuit of Perfection look at The VW,BMW,Mercedes Benz, Audi and Football Defense formation and then we can talk! )
/*The two Greek men are sleeping with each other and the Greek woman is cleaning and cooking for them.(The Grecians have historically had no trouble expressing what that Great Irish Play write and Dramatist Oscar O’flahertie Wills Wilde once called, “ The Love that Dare not speak its Name.” He further followed this up with, “The greatest way to get rid of a temptation, is to yield to it.” WOW! What genius I say!)
/*The two Bulgarian men took one long look at the endless ocean, and another long look at the Bulgarian woman, and started swimming.(If its not the famed Romany’s pre-occupation with wonder-lust. There is no where the Gypsy will not go, provided there is a route, they will take to it in search of sustenance. Yes, not even the allure of multiple sessions of erotica comes close!)
/*The two Japanese men have texted Tokyo and are awaiting instructions.(The Nipponese have become too afflicted with techno-philia that their ability to make even the most basic of decisions has been reduced somewhat.)
/*The two Chinese men have set up a pharmacy, a liquor store, a restaurant and a laundry, and have got the woman pregnant in order to supply employees for their stores. (The entrepreneurial instinct of the Sino shines through here. In their endeavor or quest to dominate global commerce, they will stop at nothing. They are prepared to use their run away libido to procreate and raise an army of workers. Ask the West and you will see how they have taken notice. They want to attack their Human Rights record, Ecological Footprint but they care less. The Red Army’s match is as inexorable as the very passage of Time I say!)
/*The two American men are contemplating the virtues of suicide because the American woman keeps endlessly complaining about her body; the true nature of feminism; how she can do everything they can do; the necessity of fulfilment; the equal division of household chores; how sand and palm trees make her look fat; how her last boyfriend respected her opinion and treated her nicer than they do; but how her relationship with her mother is improving and how at least the taxes are low and it isn't raining.(It’s the Yankees with their all too familiar holier-than-thou attitude and drunkenness with Demon-cracy which they impose on societies as if they were told it’s the most ideal governance model. What civil rights does the Yankee speak of? They have even waged War to export demon-cracy to weak countries and plunder those nation’s natural resources and impose governments there. Their materialistic society will be their undoing in the end. Human Rights my foot, Katrina Re-visited, let ‘em Go to the Reservations and assess the welfare of Native Americans, then they can come and chew gum in my face!)
/*The two English men are waiting for someone to introduce them to the English woman.(The Anglo-saxon’s genteel nature reverberates in this piece. They do not give it a hoot,no sensual desire can overpower their good nature; they can wait until hell freezes over before they can disrespect the woman folk. This they will do this even if they drowned in their own civility. The Angles are so conservative,the Fox Hunt on horse back continues even as I write, the truffles are still being picked in the country-side, nhuuu yammy!)
/*The two Irish men have divided the island into North and South and set up a distillery. They do not remember if sex is in the picture because it gets sort of foggy after the first few litres of coconut whisky. But they're satisfied because at least the English aren't getting laid either.(The Land of Eire is still in a constant battle over territory, and their bullish nature will be seen in their temperament, talk about Austere Unionists, Orange Order matches in Londonderry, Belfast, Sein Feihn will live on! We will forever be grateful to the gods for the culture of what I would in the rich Scottish/Irish Gaelic tongue uisage beatha. Like Barotses they relish the many outings to the local pub and have no qualms what so ever about empting a few kegs of some good old social lubricant as they engage in intellectual intercourse. My wits are at their sharpest after I imbibe a few swigs of you know what while lending an ear to some classic yoddling of The Dubliners’ renditions of Irish and Scottish drinking songs, Ooooooooh!!!!! How I miss them!)
