Never Do These Five Foolish Things

Life is full of choices and consequences. Some choices are wise and lead to happiness and success. Others are foolish and lead to misery and failure. In this blog post, I will share with you five foolish things that you should never do in your life. These are based on my own experience and observation, and I hope they will help you avoid some common pitfalls and regrets. 1. Never talk about your dreams to anyone Dreams are precious and personal. They are the fuel that motivates you to pursue your goals and passions. However, not everyone will understand or support your dreams. Some people may mock, discourage, or even sabotage your dreams. That's why you should never talk about your dreams to anyone, unless they are trustworthy and supportive. Remember, a fish with its mouth shut avoids the hook. 2. Never get too involved in other people's problems It's good to be compassionate and helpful to others. However, you should not get too involved in other people's problems, e

In this blog post, I will share with you seven things to stop doing in 2024 for a happier life. 1.

Harsh Truths About School That Nobody Wants To Know

7 Harsh Truths About School That Nobody Wants To Know School is supposed to be a place where we learn, grow, and prepare for our future. But is it really doing that? Or is it holding us back from pursuing our true passions and potential? In this blog post, I will share with you seven harsh truths about school that nobody wants to know, but everyone will accept sooner or later. 1. School is stopping you from pursuing your dreams How many times have you heard someone say, "I wish I could do what I love, but I have to study for this exam"?

Dressing Down Tradition: Kenya's Parliament Bans Kaunda Suits and Sparks Controversy In a surprising move, the Speaker of Parliament, Moses Wetangula, declared that Kaunda suits, along with traditional African attire, were no longer welcome within the hallowed chambers of Kenya's parliamentary building. This prohibition extends even to Kenyan President William Ruto, known for frequently donning the distinctive safari jacket and matching trousers on official occasions. The Kaunda suit, named after the late Zambian President Kenneth Kaunda, has gained popularity among the political elite in Kenya, becoming a symbol of political influence. Characterized by its short-sleeved design and often worn without a tie, the suit carries a legacy inspired by President Kaunda's fashion choices.

Zambia's Political Landscape Shifts as Former President Lungu Loses Retirement Benefits

Published on November 2, 2023 In a surprising turn of events, Zambia's government has decided to withdraw retirement benefits and privileges from former President Edgar Lungu, who recently announced his return to active politics.

Lungu, who lost the presidency to Hakainde Hichilema in 2021, had initially declared his retirement after six years in office, during which Zambia grappled with serious economic challenges, making it Africa's most indebted nation. However, his decision to re-enter the political arena has prompted the government to revoke his retirement benefits and privileges. According to government spokesman Cornelius Mweetwa, the law clearly states that former presidents who return to politics forfeit their benefits. These benefits included three security officers, a diplomatic passport, three
