ZAMBIA AT 50, LEST WE FORGET 1.It is the only country which has proven to the whole world that presidents are irrelevant 2.Health issues concerning the head of state is a guarded military secrete 3.Citizens demonstrate about the fitness of their rulers in the streets and doctors are looking else where 4.A minister can storm student radio, fold his shirts up for a fight and still continues to rule 5.Water flows in the Zambezi and not in the taps 6.Electricity can be switched on and off without any one suing for damages! 7. A young girl can commit suicide for not being sponsored to university and the education minister is still in his office...where the word resigning is Chinese 8.25 kids can perish on a lake out of a freak preventable accident and the education minister along with the transport minister are still in their offices 9 Boxers, footballers are more respected than surgeons, and where those who kick ass are paid more than the health worker 9.There are more libraries than churches, more bars than recreation parks 10. Universities are created by proclamation by politicians, never mind the need for professors to teach their! 11.An opposition leader can boycott jubilee celebrations , a once off event, opting to go and dish out free mealie meal to some compound dwellers as the giving could not be put off for the following day!

A country where a law called public order act has out lived 5 Presidents ! 13 Kindergarten girls run the nations police force, paying their allegiance not to the state but the ruling clique 14 A country where some opposition leaders can not walk the streets of the copper belt without landing a bruise 15. Religious Pipo march on the streets looking for a spiritual solution to Ebola, while the rest of the world is busy going to laboratories! meanwhile no clergy has ever won a Nobel prize in medicine, not even the flamboyant JBS 16. A country where civil servants report for work at 1o hrs, start off the day with tea, surf the internet, phone their partners and happily knock off at 17 hrs 17...Where a vice president is not really a vice, and also the same VP can actually mislead the whole nation and get away with it., after all, he is only Scottish by descent, but his skin is black underneath ! 18.The closest to reading nationals do is to read the Bible and the daily newspaper 19 And above all, criticism is treated like treason !!! .....And yours #thescepticbook
