      lol…it does sound like a promotion for Lucias Banda.

      How skeptical we are but maybe for a reason the need to be a certain weight for a pageant can lead to eating disorders like bulimia and anorexia. Fad diets and strange eating habits can also be used to lose weight or maintain a minimal weight. Such diets can have long term medical problems such as a lower metabolism to conserve energy, muscle and organ tissue loss, and even bone loss. I am not saying that all pageant contestants have eating disorders, but some girls aren’t naturally skinny yet would go to the edges to compete.
      Some might even go to extreme measures like having breast implants or other plastic surgeries to fit the part of beauty. Those who have surgery may not be thinking of the side effects that can occur. Not getting the results you wanted, infection, and the possible need for more surgeries are just some of the bad things about plastic surgery. Plastic surgery is definitely going to the limits to win a pageant.
      Simply being in a pageant can lead to unhealthy competition. Some will go to any length just to win. It is never healthy for a person to want to win so badly they sabotage another competitor. We have all seen the movies where girls try to drop lights on their main competition or hear stories of shoes getting misplaced at the very last moment. Is this what we want to teach our young children– that winning is everything?
      I am not saying that everyone who enters pageants will have a negative change but some might. Perhaps everyone considering becoming the next Miss Perfect should determine if they are in pageants for a healthy reason or not. And those who enter their young girls in pageants should definitely be aware of what lessons they might be teaching, that beauty is all that counts and brains take a back seat in our society.

    There is a problem with people living in diaspora. Jesus christ!!! We pretend to be confortable with thebway we live when in actual fact we live miserably.why waste time organising an event which will not specifically achieve anything positive for malawi. Miss malawi is miss malawi the whole world and it happens in malawi once a year. I thought i was gonna read that the proceeedes of the event will be donated to our much talked orphans back home.Buiding confidence and encouraging them to stay in touch with their roots….. Really! which roots? when some of them are walking almost naked, Disrespecting their spouses to an extent of calling the policwe on them without concrete reasons. Malawians wake up!! I dont see any significance of the event apart from promoting hatred, nsaje, kaduka miseche thoooooo and trust me there will be fights there. sonkhasonkhani one pound one pond and send it kwa ana amasiye kumudzi god will save u from deportation.
    I pen down.

  4. Chikhamu Rodgers says:

    I won’t be there with you guys, but i wish you all the best.
    To you Licius, please don’t play political songs of yours there to avoid embarrassments. Just imagine on this event, do you think people will be pleased with those disgusting songs of yours. Be wise boy.

  5. Bauleni wa-mu-Kenyatta says:

    Thanks Chikhamu, I thought I was the only one who does not like Lucius Banda’s tunes, his songs are just not my cup of tea. I would have thouhgt twice to go for the miss Malawi thing, but having him there rules out my going.

    Can the proceeds be used for a charitable cause to the underprivelaged back home, as someone mentioned earlier on.

    And you said “The pageant aims, among other things, at building confidence in Malawian girls based in the United Kingdom and encouraging them to stay in touch with their roots.” What confidence and whose roots are you on about?

    Bauleni muliyenda

  6. SANKHO says:

    I really wonder who are Malawian VIPs
    in Britain??? And only fourty in number
    according to the tickets to be sold. I presume those working in the Embassy and
    their in laws!!!!!!!

  7. Yankho says:

    SANKHO it seems chizungu chakudutsa pang’ono, akuti ma tiketi a VIP ndi 40 paunzi osati ku England kuli ma VIP 40

  8. Nthawi says:

    Well, there is no connection between being deported and Lucius Banda or rather Miss Malawi function or whatever they call it.One thing you should know guys is that God sangatipatse tonse there has to be someone who is rich to help the poor but it seems like some of you guys you just comment on the issues without thinking.It is a shame to see people slagging off eachother on this website.Well to the organisers I wish you all the best and make most of it and if this is what makes you happy and go for it ignore what other people are saying and i feel sorry to see all the comments.Chomwe mudziwe ndi choti mulungu sapasa onse.Ife tili kumazi and others ali kumuzi thats life and you should accept it.Tikaonana konko tili mu E class summer kawawa pa England
