Chisi says Malawi federalism zealots should stop emotions

1. If you have people calling for cessession it means somethings are not going on well. This calls for solutions. The government must look for long lasting solutions here.

   If equitable distribution of development is the solution, government must endeavour to do just that.

   I don’t think sending more people from the north to the embassies will be a long lasting solution as it is rumoured. It will only benefit a few individuals.

2. Mr Chisi if you are confused better be quite on such issues, i think drugs are still accelarating in your brains. Ndiwe ndele chomene

3. Federalism in Malawi: 1) it’s a good idea to encourage sharing and equal participation, 2) the idea is like a contraceptive or antibiotic that may prevent or control the state systems, 3) it’s one of the good ideas to those who invest and treasure in dreams, it’s good, healthy and therapeutical to dream by the way.
   But: 1) With Malawi’s economy it’s not viable, 2) Malawi has not matured yet democratically, 3) Malawi has not healed from past dictatorship, 4) Malawi’s geographical size is a defect or cripple, so no model of federal or province would fit. 5) I would propose we sell the Malawi to any resourceful agriculture state that can use the country for intensive and extensive farming production as we have the necessary forms: land, lake, mountain, rivers and the already farming human capital. Otherwise Malawi is a country that has potential and resources, yet being unused or misused.

4. Wisdom does not come with doctorate degrees or professorship as most disoriented Malawians think. Wisdom comes from fearing God, and Jesus is the origin of it all. All I see are comments from the devil’s incarnate…full of melice, envy, hate and every sort of evil one can think of…Malawi would have been a better, unitary country, if only we seek God in our political decisions.

   True justice also comes from fearing God; all these policies, bills passed by cabinet and parliament have a lot of injustice in them, so they cannot bring justice to the common Malawian other than the president and the rich. We have no respect for humanity, so we definitely not humane.

   We have tried central system of government and it has failed us due to selfish leadership. Favoritism and discrimination are to blame for the calls for federal system or cessation. I think we should try what we have never done before. Peace is not the absence of war, but it is the presence of justice. In fact Martin Luther King called peace without justice as “negative peace,” which is not the essence of democracy but oppression.

5. The problem with the northerners is to be in Top positions. Accept change.

6. From cashgate to votegate ,now its federalgate,why my country ?apa zikufanana ndimunthu yemwe nyumba yake ikudontha, m’malo mokoza pomwe pakudonthapo ,iye akuganiza zongogwetsa nyumbayo, abale ndili pomwe tidzakhale pasi ?mkukoza chomwe chikuyambitsa zonsezi ?

7. Iwe chisi matongo yako wapulika ndale zakutonda

8. John Chisi is better than Chakufwa Chihana or Khumbo Kachale. He can be a good president coming from north of Malawi. You have my vote in the next general elections!

   1. who can vote for him

9. The same thing happened in UK. Few individuals stood the ground for session of this great land called SCOLTLAND. Polls were conducted, what happened, was it not a blow.
   The same applies here. There are few individuals just because potential positions are not to given them, and forecast nothing of that nature, they start these influences.
   Malawi is one since creation and will never separate.
   LETS GO TO THE POLLS AND SHAME THESE MZOMERA AND GROUP.
   AM NOT A POLITICIAN, OR VILLAGE HEADMAN, AND DONT DESIRE.

10. Yes Mr Inu at no. 7.2 you are scaremongering again either because you are doing it deliberately or because you don’t really understand how federalism works in practice or you still want to continue reaping off the north and enriching yourself by perpetually neglecting the north.

    The economy of the country will still be one and everyone can work anywhere in the three regions or states. So it will be illegal for say the north to say all the jobs in the north will be for northerners only. As far as jobs and employment practices, nothing will change from the current system. So the south or centre can’t create quotas on jobs. If federalism is introduced today and all being equal, nobody should lose their jobs simply because they come from a different region. Just for the moment ignore what DPP is doing!!

    What can change are some of the laws or the legal framework as you rightly suggest such as one region can decide to legalise chamba while another may not. One region can legalise gay marriage while another may not. The difference will be more or less cultural difference, the north may say the cost of lobola is too high, then pass a law limiting it to certain amounts. The south and the centre don’t practice lobola, so such law is not required in their region. The centre could say pass a law to end chikamwini while the south may not do so. The north will not be affected by chikamwini law, etc.

    But there will also be federal laws or practices that apply to all states or regions such as the economy, employment as explained above, justice for all, anti-discrimination, human rights, etc.

    For the north federalism on its own is not enough but federalism plus rotational of the presidency is a must so that a northerner can also rule Malawi and make northerners feel like fully fledged Malawians. At the moment they are not and that is the main cause of the whole problem. Chisi don’t be duped by some of the comments coming from the southerners, they will never vote for you. Remember, it is not the educated centrerers or southerners who decide elections, it is the people in the villages who decide who wins or lose. As we know the villagers of the south or centre will never vote for you!!! They everyday challenge us that a northerner will never rule Malawi and they are right because we don’t have the numbers. So the rotational of the presidency will defeat their numbers!! Just like Tanzania, they have rotational of the presidency otherwise no Zanzibaris would ever be president of Tanzania.

    Personally as stated many times here, I prefer the current system as long as it immediately deals with the grievances of the north and rectifies all the injustices against the north. If this doesn’t come from the government then full independence of the north is the next best thing, we will have our own president and take full control of our economy and development. AND PLEASE DON’T LISTEN TO THOSE WHO SAY WE CAN’T SURVIVE ON OUR OWN, YES WE CAN!!!

    1. great opinion sir, this thug known as inu is a bandit, so he thinks no one works in north from south and central????? we know some 300,000 vendors, tenants working and living that side thats selfish thinking, to me secession is better option than federa!!!!!

11. A Chisi ndale zinu zamalila papa.Mpoto mukuyimanya kale.

12. Chisi is not a shame….Don’t forget he has a Doctor of Philosophy degree..attained from world class school of thought…now when he says you shouldn’t be emotional you choose to do otherwise..it is people like #101–vilakagwentha who are being emotionally inclined and running away from debate and entering into debacles!

13. # 94 ndi chindere chakufikapo. You are saying what is there in the South and Centre chikhalirecho Atumbuka achona kuzigawo ziwirizi? Mupweteketsa abale anu amene amera mizu ku zigawo ziwirizi. A Boma aloleni a kumpoto onse adzipita kwaoko ife titola zinyumba ndi makampani awo kuno. Kuyankhula ngati oduka mutu bwanji. Zipitani kwanuko mukazazane ngati matekenya, mudzatifuna. Kachigawo mukunyadirako n’kang’onong’ono. Zikumveka kuti akuti akakhala pansi paulamuliro wa Tanzania. Sha!!! Kkkkkkkkk

14. Chisi you are a Shame to people of the North and very useless

15. I entirely agree with Chisi that money is at the bottom of this saga ! He has been financially handicapped after his very poor performance at the 2014 general election.
    the only way he can hope to get some rewards from Peter is say what he is saying

16. Was this Chisi not for federalism as part of his manifesto during campaign?

17. I am really concerned about the level understanding people are displaying here on Federalism/Chitaganya. Please Malawians Chitaganya/federalism does not mean stand alone. it simply means restructuring on the management of the country instead having President running around like a mad dog trying to put thinks in order in the name of development, the roles will be transferred to Regional Governors. The President still maintains his position as State leader while overseeing what these Governors are doing. This will allow Him to concentrate on other more important issues of policy.

    These Regions will still support one another, those in need will able to access assistance from their neba without much I do transactions and requirements.

    By the way who is talking about division here. People from the south you are just demonstrating how much you hate the north and the north watches with a lot of interest. To make matters worst you call for unity, what on earth is this kind of hypocrisy.

18. The son is saying, “father I think am grown of age, I want to start a new life on my own”. Father says, “No my son you cannot make it on your own. Further more, don’t you think this will divide us as a family?”

    The north is only saying they can manage on their own, the south is saying no the north cannot manage its own resources. reason northerners are too proud full of themselves, I hate them. However if they stay on their own it will divide us as Malawian.

    My fellow Malawians, Do you see any sense in this humble analysis?

19. Atumbuka ndi mbuzi kwabasi, they just don’t know what they want, zimenezi zatitopetsa kwambiri, fotseki!

    1. This is an example of hate on the northerner and yet you say lets unite, which unity are you calling for.

       1. We dont want to unite with you Northernors. We now want you to go and form your own country and no more discussions of fedarism but Cesation. You shud make your own country we dont want your nepotic, tribalistic, and old age thinking to be part of Malawi. We want our country focus on important issues once you make your own country. Enough is enough u shud go and go soonest. I bet you a vote for federalism will be NO, but a VOTE For Sesation will be YES. That I do assure u

          1. You just hit the nail on the head you my southern cockroach brother !! You can’t even spell foolish fool !!

       2. We dont want to unite with you Northernors. We now want you to go and form your own country and no more discussions of fedarism but Cesation. You shud make your own country we dont want your nepotic, tribalistic, and old age thinking to be part of Malawi. We want our country focus on important issues once you make your own country. Enough is enough u shud go and go soonest. I bet you a vote for federalism will be NO, but a VOTE For Cesation will be YES. That I do assure u

20. No 81 u r very foolish with ur coment and ur very stupid….this is not good to divide our loved country,…Malawi is the warm heart of africa…What chisi is trying to say is true….UFITI eti mulibe chisoni with ur fellow friends who are working from south and central….REMEMBER THE MOVIE OF HOTEL IN RWANDA…e.g Tutsi and Hutu…zinayamba choncho..

21. Mr chingolopiyo which tumbuka cried? Actually it’s the opposite. It was the centre and the south who started crying after seeing that the Northerners started going to university in large numbers thats why you came up with quota system and you even started recalling those tumbukas you chased back to your schools and refused some to go to the North. Just give us our own country and see how we can turn it around. What is there in the central or south to be proud of. There is nothing only poverty.

22. CHISI that is ur opinion, let everbody bring his iideas.We know that u are also being funded to be against this.Even Judas knew the truth that Jesus was the son of God kweni ndalama zikamuhangayiska.The only solution here is to call for refrendum.Why are u afraid of refrendum? North says can stay on its own.Ndiye kuti inu ndi amene mukudziwa kuti simungakhale panokha kopanda jorth.

23. Amdala munasuzgo ndimwe ba Chisi. May be you come from somewhere else but the North.

24. THAT IS CHISI, TAKING ROUNG CAMPUS, HE NEEDS POSITION IN DPP, LATER ON HE WILL CHANGE THE VOICE.

25. No doubt this professor is nothing but an imbecile. Upto the level of earning a professorship but you can not know how federalism works. Make South Africa your case study professor so that you stand a chance to talk something making sense. No wonder during the academic freedom saga you stood agnaist you fellow lecturers. Iam not surprised the past tripartite elections you performed miserably for a mere member of parliament and counsellor seats because of being short sightedness in issues of national importance. This is not a bedroom issue you online professor. Have a life and grow,stop being used as a political condom. A disgrace to many.

26. Kodi inu atumbuka mukufuna chani kwenikweni? Chimene mukufunacho chikakhale kuti?

27. Iwe Chisi, mesa during campaign you were propagating for federal government? Mxiiiieeeeee, what a fu……of a professor.

28. APM dont waste our money for the useless referendum. These northerners should know they are fighting a loosing battle if we go the referendum way. They are in minority

    1. VOTE RIGGING AND BRIBING !! DPP CAN / WILL NEVER EVER WIN FREE AND FARE WITHOUT THESE TWO THINGS !!! NKONA AKUPINDIRA MICHIRA NGATI AGÁLU !!

29. Prof Chisi is the only wise guy in the North. The rest are sweet potatoes. zimbatata voola zedi, vimamina, vindere etc

    1. Vindere vamamina ndi wotate wako ndi womako hule uja wayiwala kuti ndiwe mwana wa hule wati ??

       1. you call this wisdom hehede, thats why southerners will never pass an exam without cheating.

          most of you are so call educated you started stealing exams from kinder-garden up to university

30. The northerners are just greedy with the minerals that have been discovered recently yet they have been relying on our resources all these years as such let them do their own business and their children should not be enrolled in our university let them all go to mzuzu university. In UNIMA more than 40% are the northerners but they are upset with secondary education . this has shown how selfish they are. My last words to all northerners kwanu kapande kuno nkhono zatha

31. The professor should talk straight who is funding campaign for federalism? His dressing leaves a lot to desired, this man needs psychatric evaluation

32. This is professor Chisi I know. The only intelligent man in northern Malawi. Chisi should become the next Malawi president coz mfundo zake zimakhala zogwira m’tima. Thumb up professor!!!

33. And they say northerners are educated? This man went to university because northern teachers adulterated his grades.

34. mr chisi you have to be very careful the way u talk, do u really care about ur people do you have the heart for people what kind of a leader are you? let me tell you sir soon and very soon we are going to be independent and we will not allow people like you to come and be part of us.

35. Listen who is talking, the consultant tribalist himself. Chisi, how may people working in your projects are not from the Northernen region if any? I bet all you want is to attract attention and maybe fool DPP? Wrong, we know you too well!

36. Stupid and very foolish professor .

37. Mr Professor Chisi, learn to be emotional as well. Look at what has happened at Nkhata-Bay Secondary School, no Tonga pupils have been selected for form 1 in 2014/2015 academic year. How can you tell me not to be emotional if federalism or cessation will be a step to solving the situation? Look at your home Thunduwike, are there good roads to it? Be emotional, your parents are suffering! Is it because you are in Blantyre or Lilongwe and enjoying money fro Germany that you forget the problems people are facing right in your home village? You are a curse and a standalone. I can not imagine a learned man like you think like this. Your brothers and sisters are dying of tsetse flies around Kazuni, elephants are killing them and yet you speak like that ! I weep , give it a second thought. Ini ndakwiya ada, wana wakwidu akuwanola malu ku NKHABOSS. I can not be happy and smile at that. This is just another form of slavery. Human rights say we are equal, the rights are inelianable, inherent and nobody can pretend that he will give me. I will fight for my rights, whatever it takes.

    1. Achimwene,z kota the only reason atonga sanawasankhe??..idiot

38. Just accept Tumbukas are ready to go and develop their Tumbuka land just accept this federalism. All those whi say bad against them will admire them. Mind you kumpoto sanadyepo mitsitsi ngati enanu tizaona tikagawana who will in problems.

39. But federations works in RSa. How abt that if u want examples? America?

40. BWANA CHISI YOU HAVE EXPRESSED VIEWS AND YOUR SIDE OF THE COIN IS KNOWN. BUT BE ASSURED THAT CHANGE OF GOVERNMENT SYSTEM TIME HAS COME , THIS SHALL ENABLE MALAWIANS TO SEE DEVELOPMENTS IN MOST PARTS OF THE COUNTRY.
    THE PROBLEM IS THAT PEOPLE LIKE YOU CHISI ARE NOT ABLE TO DIFFERENTIATE THE BETWEEN FEDERAL GOVERNMENT & SUCESSION , I AM SHOCKED TO NOTE THIS FORM OF IGNORANCE FROM A LEARNED PERSON LIKE YOU THOUGH NOT ALONE SINCE THE LEARNED MUTHARIKA’S HAVE DONE SAME. FEDERAL GOVERNMENT SHALL COME AND WE JUST MORE TIME FOR CIVIC EDUCATION ON THE TWO.

    1. Germany is a Federal nation, did you see anything wrong while you were there? How about the money funding the Chiefs to speak against? Or have you been funded too? Poor Chisi, I would not want to be operated by you with that kind of shallow reasoning.

41. @chison province ndi federal ndi zosiyana, province imafana ndi region

42. This is expected of Prof Chisi. During the academic freedom stand off, he stood against his fellow academicians. It was believed that he had some scones in his mouth. When MEC disqualified him, he quickly endorsed DPP. But Mr Prof, give suggestions on how the current vices can be addressed. Nepotism, quater system getting entreched even in secondary schools like Nkhata Bay and others. Otherwise, you will only be a traitor. Allow debate on the matter

43. as smaller az Malawi iz, n u say we shd divide it??? those are advocating fo t are jst hungry for power.

44. Atumbuka muzipitadi kwanu muli ndi machende onyanza olo akazi mumabalamu akusangalala kuti mudzipita maka iwe galu ntumbuka okuda ngati kukhwapa iwe eeee zipita mbolo yako .ndipo bwanji simukonda kwanu konyansa kuja eg.kuuriwa,zolozolo,bwenumbwenu ,,kumachende otuwa etc haha makape inu

    1. KApe mayi ndi bambo wako pobereka mbuli iwe !!!

    2. Ukona ngati udzidya mahule ndi iwe atumbuka akachoka? Mahule amafuna ndalama uli ndi chani mphawi wa nyau iwe. Kambolo kako.

45. Dr Hastings Kamuzu Banda, ordered all the teachers of the North to go back to their region, but there was a loud cry. Please Prof APM give them a chance to go and form their country, we want our places in the Central and South please. go go go go go

46. Nyapala ya chabechabe iyi!! He doesn’t know how hard we feel.

47. This so called professor is a disgrace in Malawi because he doesn’t know what he is talking about,if what is written here is what he really said then he must be very stupid does he know the meaning of federation? It doesn’t mean the country will be fragmented or decided,its only power that will be affected not human settlement as this stupid professor thinks thus why those holding power do everything they can to stop this movement due to their greed so don’t instill your stupidity into Malawians. And for his own information the people who are advocating for this do so on their own feelings not being influenced by anyone and no body bankrolls this movement as am saying now my own father is heading for Mzuzu any time fro today for a meeting in Mzuzu this Friday and he asked for some funds from me for travel and accommodation, and after looking at the importance of the trip I didn’t do otherwise than sending him some funds through western union money transfer and as am writing now everything is under control. Now you stupid professor what are talking about when saying someone bankrolls the movement if any then its me and I vow to do so until we realise change and mind you you are under a microscope just try to disturb their meeting and see what will happen to you fools.

    1. NO 68 Jelbin mk thanks for your efforts. Everyone of us should do something. Some of us do no just know what to do but are ready to die for this cause. We are waiting for leadership and direction.

48. The problems in Nigeria have nothing to do with federal system but Boka Haram’s islamic agenda. Nigeria is doing so well so much so that its economy has now overtaken that of South Africa.

    North Sudan is islamic whilst South Sudan (the new nation) is Christian. South Sudan broke away and became an independent nation. Just as we had problems in 1964, so did South Sudan. Ironically they have now agreed that the solution is to implement a federal system of government in South Sudan.

    The number one economy in the World is USA
    The number one economy in Europe is Germany
    The Number one economy in Africa is Nigeria (seconded by South Africa)

    All these countries practise a federal/decentralised system of government

    Under a federal system some issues will be debated at Regional level whilst others will be debated at National level. This will encourage full democracy and speed up economic development. Yes. it is bound to be more expensive. But democracy is never cheap.

    1. Ya man that z true and am 1 who am outside Malawi. But you Chisi t CMz u r not Malawian and by then Aaaaaa . Ok your name means dark so u r walking in dark shame on u.

       And u compare with other country z rich because of system. And u r professor , they said oziwa mankhwala and president of umodzi , r u MP ? U was loose everythings. And u going loose again ++++ shame u.

49. Sorry Mr Chisi, United States is doing just fine under the same system of government. You are right that money is at the heart of this issue but you are wrong to blame the proponents of federalism. Corruption and Sanctions, in high places of government, are the driving force behind the calls for federalism. Just imagine, one Ka mutu bi, can subject 12.5 million Malawians minus .01 million of surrogates or buddies, to so much economic ill. That is the issue. The question must be, how does each of the 12.5 million people participate in the development of their country,when one pregnant man gets drunk with power and practices bad governance? Are sanctions the way for Malawians to participate in development? Checks and balances are needed. If Federalism ushers in accountability and shields the hard working poor from strife, who have had nothing to do with looting and sanctions, then try something different. 50 years of trying the same thing over and over is enough; the result has been the same, backward movement. For each president elected, Malawians have prayed his/her term will end quickly. Their hopes were dashed by Kamuzu Banda, Bakili Muluzi, Bingu Wa Mutharika, and who knows who else, under the current system of government.

50. I love you my 1st year anatomy Lectuer- now am conviced that you love your country- God bless You

51. The problems of under development can never be solved by replacing it with federalism. If fact if you opt for federalism, the north shall become more poor then ever before. Understand the concept and do not just use emotions in progagating this to our already people

52. I didn’t benefit anything during Kamuzu era, Muluzi era, Bingu Sr era, JB’s era & it will be the same now. If my life has developed it’s not because of any polical party or any attachment to any influencial leadership. I believe in hardwork & self determination and most importantly kuufunitsitsa ufumu wa kumwamba kuti Mulungu akupatseni zofuna zanu. You can have the north as a standalone state & still find yourself in dire stress. Good luck.

53. Heros of today,Mr Chisi,need people like you.You must be a good reader.

54. atumbuka muyambe kusamuka tikamaponya referendum mukakhale muli kwanu ku mpoto mwatikwana kwambiri bwanji simumanena zimenedzo bakha wanu uja ali pampando, chonde pack and go plz we are tired with ur nonses plz

55. Professor Chisi himself does not understand what federal state is. I understand him. He does know political science. He’s a medical doctor. He thnks like somejwho has not bn school. How can he say fed .state is diving the people? It’s not diving pipo. It’s about power sharing!

    1. You are the ones who are not thinking straight. I have asked this question already, do you think that the federal govenment in the south or central will attempt to promote the welfare of the people from the north when people from the north are already calling the shots in their region? We are already ethnically divided. What federalism will do is to completely divide us because each region will try to protect its own

56. Still waitin 4 1 frnd 2 comen2

57. THATS IT PROFESSOR.THE NORTHERN IDIOTS ARE EMTIONALLY CHARGED ,THATS WHY ANAVOTERA AMAI OGAWA ABAKHA.THESE NORTHERNERS ARE HEADLESS AND DIRECTIONALLESS.

58. I respect you for being a good professor within your filed but I choose to differ with you on this view.
    Please sit and see what will come out of this drive. We want to be independent if they cannot respect us equals with the same rights to government resources.

    It is these same people that fragment the north because as people like yourself try to savage a win:win deal the majority of them take that for cowardice.
    Mr Chisi Malawian unity has become very unattractive for northerners and disunity has taken its place. We have been oppressed ij may things including our fair right to education. It is time we move on and see what that will mean to us;

    BETTER DIE ON YOUR FEET STANDING MAKING YOUR POINT THAN DIE ON YOU KNEES BEGGING and BEGGING to a ruthless and unattentive fellow who is meant to finish you out of jealous and ego at all cost.
    What is the problem with them letting us go:
    Since we are Ozikonda?

59. Please, all Tumbukas should listen to wisemen like Prof Chisi and DD Phiri. These are genious Tumbukas. They real prophets of problems that Tumbukasa will face under seccession.

    Professor you have my vote in 2019. Its only a wiseman who stand in presence of fools and guide them the way forward.

60. hie! Bwana chisi, what a shame! Are you talking for the north or for your own household? If you keep quiet that doesnt mean you are dull, but your talking shows how stupid you are: you are a failure in everything, you are not even an MP and your party has no seat in the parliament. So pliz keep quiet. Nkhululu kwenda iwe.

61. CHISI CHINDERE CHAKUFIKAPO

62. Am worried if we have dull professors like Chisi. For starters there is no problem in Nigeria due to federal system. Boko Haram is an islamic driven goal, nothing to do with federal system. If Nigeria was falling apart its economy would not have ovetaken that of South Africa. Secondly the issue in Sudan started as a North (Islam) versus South (Christian), again nothing to do with federal system. After South Sudan got independence problems emerged just as we had in 1964 (Were you born that time?). Ironically the solution has just been proposed (i.e South Sudan is calling for a federal system).

    Please professor do your research before you open your mouth. Had we elected you President where would you be taking Malawi to with that level of understanding of world issues?

    1. Nigeria’s economy will surpass that of South Africa simply because of one thing, OIL. You have oil and there is little to wrong there unless if you are not stable. Look at Dubai, Quatar, Saud Arabia and all those middle east countries. It is all oil, oil and more oil, nothing less. What you could have done was to show on this forum that These so so states in Nigeria were doing badly before federation and now they are developed. If tou can demonstrate that here, then many will see your point. Afterall, in many sates in Africa, the northern parts are always poor, and dont thin that I am lying, explore Africa and you do not need to travel. Look at the countries, and see where their capitals are, where most of the cities are licated and you will see that the northern parts are always poor

       1. @INU yeah that’s a good observation. Actually I have wondered why is it like this in all countries in Africa. What is it in this word “North”? Northerners in Mozambique, Mali, Gabon, Zambia, Zimbabwe (with the Shonas in the north and the Ndebeles in the center and South), Malawi, etc. make so much noise and destabilize peace in their countries. Is the word “North” significantly related to violence/nepotism/selfishness/poverty? What can be the best explanation to this?

          1. how about North America, northen europe? whats your comment you idiots? huh? comment,you guys are just out of ideas

63. Chisi. you are a man. I like your soberness on national issues. If indeed people from the north feel sidelined in terms of development, then there is need for each region to have development committee that can priorities development projects in their respective regions. No to federalism.

64. You are now talking Chisi open the eyes of the blind friends who think federation is an answer to thier problems if they fail to develop the north you see they build houses in the cities leaving their home ground ahh their intentions need to be questioned surely money is behind all theses

65. What we need are people with mature i deas.indeed some one wants recognition and not genuine calls are coming out of there mouths,they are failed politicians from the north.

66. The main problem with leaders in the north is that they all want to be on top. For example Chisi himsel,f instead of working with an already existing AFORD, he forms his own party. Why? There are other people who also have their own parties eg Loveness Gondwe, Nyondo. The north can have one voice if they humble themselves to let other people lead them. Leadership should come automatically from the ballot – Not because you are a professor, a son of a veteran politician or former leader. I can foresee some leadership struggle in the north if the federation issue succeeds. We fought for democracy but this did not mean fragmentation. Lets talk federation with one voice from one party. Otherwise nothing will be achieved.

67. Anthu akumpoto adakhamukila pakati ndi kumwera kukasaka nchele and amalephela kumanga nyumba zabwino kumudzi kapena ma town akwao ndiye akapitako amakapeza kuli thengo lokhalokha kenako nkumanena kuti boma silikutukula kwao, aiwala kuti oyamba kutukulu ndi iwo eniwake.

    1. Inu mukudzittama ndi timanyuba tanu mwamanga kuchikamwini tija. Mukuopa kuti mawa akuthamangisani. It appears you have not been to the north of late. People build permanent houses at their homes because they will all stay there as men of the home. The issue here is northeners are good at investments in their country. If they retire, they will have continuous flow of income while sitting on the khonde. do not waste time to think you will own their property here. Work hard to build your own or invest in something other than negativity.
       Federalism is the answer to equitable sharing of our government resources. Those who object want to be associated ndi kusolola in their blood.

68. Ife kuno ku South Africa tikumva bwino bwino what Provincial system of government is all about. Zomvetsa chisoni kuti ma Professor amene sa dziwa kuti Federal system ndi kanyama kanji. Kamuzu used to say kuyenda ndi ku phunzira. The longer you stay inside that country the more you become dull regardless of level of education. Pulizi tatulukaniko. Even if you visit Nyamapanda it will open you up although alufeyo says Nyamapanda si ku abroad.

    1. What else can we say? Monga mwa dzina lanu

69. The Professor is a Northerner by birth but he is a naturalised Southerner , therefore I expect his stand to be true of what he is.

70. so what mr chisi, anthuwa akumwera ndi apakati ndi wosayamika.atimbuka amayambira chilichonse chomwe tikunjiya pano,but these people they just want to use atumbuka and dump them zikuyenda.zokambirana sizingathandize kamba koti ali kale ndi chidani ndi atumbuka.Kuzunzika komwe akukumana nako pano atumbuka sikukusiyana ndi nkhondo yomwe yikuwopedwayo.Tapilirira kwa nthawi yayitali ana athu apzapeze mtendere.

71. the northern region can never unite , its full of greedy people(aford is chihana only , instead of the whole north ) ngwazi said STUPID FEDERAION

72. Chisi still to what you know best; hospitals. Who told you that Federalism means division. Umbuli siwa bwino ndithu.

73. I will put it in plain language for all to grasp the idea, Atumbuka ufiti, mudapha mchimwene wa a pulezidenti now you just can’t wait to see the current new president kicking the bucket, even though you claim to be smart, you fail to identify your wickest point, the fact that you are too evil to such an extend that you can’t even stand a success of your fellow brother and the mass population of successiful Mpotans in Mwera and pakati region is an indication that you are scared of each other. perhaps its high time you count the fingers that point back at you while pointing others, get your act together then probably your children will start trusting you with their fortunes and choose to enjoy it with you, in your own land. I bet I’m clear and open to objections but not attacks of cause.

    1. No 42, you are not redeemed. You are only good at finger pointing not knowing if you do more fingers are ponting back at you. Wake up and develop your thinking.

74. A Chisi apa ndiye mwawapalamula a kumpoto who are debating the issue with emotions… Akutukwanani,but just know you have given them the right dosage. When they talk of being independent, I wonder if they will support each other there. They couldn’t support Kamlepo,Kamuzu Chibambo,Enock Chihana,Loveness Gondwe,James Nyondo and Chisi himself,why?

75. if federarism is not the ultimate answer then what is the answer .when even the minister of education failed to answer to calls on how selection was done to nkhatabay secondary school.dialogue yes is the best to solve the problem but how many calls for such have been made to change such malproctice.zikazakuwawani ndipamene muzadziwe ubwino wa federarism because u chisi have been in south for so long when your brothers and sisters are suffering in the name of unity.do u tell ur wife i love you in an empty stomarch?

76. You people from the South don’t cheat yourselves that you are united. Look the way You voted also. The Yaos voted for UDF and PP whilst the Lomwes voted for DPP.Had it been that Chakwamba had his own party, the Senas could have voted for his party. Once the North breaks away, Southern region will be in flames because the Yaos will not want to be ruled by Lomwes. Right now the focus is on Ziatumbuka thats why you are not quarrelling. Time will come when Ziatumbuka will be free and happy and you’the southerners will be in flames as the name of your country. Mark my words.

77. i am a for federalism because i want the northerners to back to their homeland. After the referendum tizayamba kuthamangisa aliyense apite kwawo

78. please to cure this problem let the north be independent , coz federation azabwelanso nkumatisokosa kuti akhale paokha, let them go, akakakhala paokha aku mzimba akafuna akakhale paokha coz mzimba is too big. ma fulasi akuphani achina ngwila

79. A Chisi inu,kukamwa kuli bwafu,kusonyezeratu kuti mukuchokera ku banja lovutika koopsa.Someone is saying tiyeni ndalama za boma zidzikhala poafupi ndi anthu ngati mmene ziliri ku South Africa,America,Belgium,Austria,Australia,both small and big countries,but successful,inu mukuti ayi,let us keep sailing in poverty.Do you wish people good?You cant buy the sysmpathy of Southerners,they dont love you northeners,and they will never appreciate you.All they are seeing is that someone from the north is helping us retain our presidency,is helping us remain in power,but after that,they will dump you like rubbish.The problem is that you are still living in the 17th Century.You are old and cant grasp things mcuh quicker.Let Malawi move with the times,and I am telling you,within a decade Malawi will have completely changed under federalism.Poverty levels will decline,schools will be everywhere,universities will now start to take in alot of Malawians.But Chisi,just because of his love for money cant see that.I am a strong proponent of federalism or seccession,but I have never tasted anybody’s monies,not even a single tambala.I dont even know where you are so-called financiers are,or where people are getting the money from.But we are people who wish the country well.Let us get out of the sick bed as a nation.There is poverty there.We cant remain on the bed forever.

    1. This is romanticism. People said the same during the transition to multiparty. Look what happened. Believe me you will come back again crying for total independence after ten years when this system will not work, as predicted I should say

80. Prof. Chisi, well spoken. Have northerners sat done and see why it fails to come up with a strong party or leadership? Many will make noise, but please do a SWOT analysis. Are you serious the northern region can be a country? Much as I appreciate that there are more intellectuals. there is a problem of trust. If you form a government, who will your leader come from. Are the people of Mzimba going to accept a leader from Chitipa, or Likoma? You have too much presumptious for nothing.
    Indeed, Harry Mkandawire is funding the groups. You may not agree but the financier is Harry Mkandawire. Do you think the financier Harry Mkandawire can rule the north Go Go Go Go Go guys, wishing you all the best.

81. Thanks mr chisi, u have vision with ur party, if malawi had hav pple like u from north, i think this furking shit idea of federation can b closed

82. Khalani waka chete a Chisi! Apart from personal things what contribution have you given to this country? If someone is bankrolling feferism calls then who is banrolling you. So shut up!!!!

83. Chisi does not state that northerners are 3rd Class citizens of Malawi especially after Bingu let the cat out of the bag and introduced quota system.

    His brother has continued from where the late brother left.

    Whether the referendum will solve the problem is uncertain. However, the truth is that pretending there is unity is false through and through as people will have known. Check social media and you will realise there is a simmering conflict around the bend. Its a matter of moments before street battles break out.

    Citizen

84. In the footsteps of Atu, Jumbe and Katsonga…… Bwana ngati munapeza ma vote ocheperapo ulendo wathau ingoyamikani kumwamba otherwise mmutu mwanumo mulibe chanzeru chautsogoleri wabwino.

85. how far did this ngwira and mkandawire kodi akufunama regional minister akhale iwowo chifukwa regional ambale mudzalira peterplease callfor referredam anthuwatowathandize maganizoawo

86. Why are some of you denying the north their wish to secede or indeed for Malawi to become a federation? Free the North to choose their destiny. I really don’t think we should be forcing northerners to remain part of Malawi or to coexist in a unitary state. LET THE NORTH GO

87. A chisi mukukhumba udindo ku fuma kwa APM. Lutilirani ndipo bampaninge. Kweni mumanye 2019 yilipafupi ndipo chipani chinu kunokulinje. Mwayowoya kuti tingabanenge makola ndalama. Chifukwa ni ndalama ndizo zasuzga. Tell your friend APM to divide the budget among three regions. This could cool down the malawian in all regions.

88. proffessors are sharp in their minds Chisi you are very exception ur not fit to be a Northener considering the bad character associated with them teach these fools especially the so called reverends ndi kandala kowoneka ngati thako kaja to be avoid getting money from JB the loser so the she confuses malawi

89. Hehede!!! what kind of a proffessor is this proffessor Chisi? He is contradicting himself. What does he mean by saying the North can not keep its own Party? Does he mean that the central and the Southern regions have parties which only belong to these regions? If so then the people from the North are right to fight for federalism in this country since they don’t practice such kind of nonsense of having a party which belongs to the North.only. People from the North are the true democrats in this country for they vote for the party which they think can bring meaningful change in this country regardless where that party comes from.We know you are talking like this because people from the North didn’t vote for you so you’re selling yourself. For your own information people from the south and central can never vote for you as long as you come from the North. don’t cheat yourself.Think with your head proffessor and not with your BALLS. Wether you like it or not ,change is coming.

90. This medical doctor is talking nonsense because I don’t remember in medical school taking any economics class. I want this medical doctor to define what Unitary, Federalism, and Communism means? For the past 50 years Malawi has been practicing Unitary system, the most oppressive system that has produced one dictator after another. This Peter Hitler Mutharika his number one enemy in Malawi are the Northerners. There is a plan in place that the Mulhako government is going to execute against Northerners. This plan is to commit genocide against the Northerners because they refuse to succumb to slavery. This doctor failed to win even one seat because the people of the North saw that he is stupid and a puppet of Peter Hitler Mutharika.

91. IF THERE IS ANYBODY IN THE NORTH WHOSE THINKING CAPABILITY IS NOT QUESTIONABLE,THEN IT IS PROF CHISI.EVERYBODY KNOWS THAT THESE PEOPLE ARE FUNDED TO CONFUSE MALAWIANS,BUT THEY WILL FAIL.WHAT DO YOU EXPECT FROM SOMEONE WHO WAS IN GOVERNMENT AND BY GRACE OF GOD HAS FUMBLED? BY THE WAY LOOK AT NGWIRA,IS HE A MALAWIAN FROM THE NORTH.BECAUSE WHAT I KNOW MOST PEOPLE FROM THE NORTH ARE PURE BLACK AND WHATEVER THEY TALK IS ALWAYS BLACKISH.MY FELLOW MALAWIANS FROM THE NORTH,EVEN IF THERE IS FEDERALISM,THERE WILL BE INTERNAL WRANGLES UP THERE IN THE NORTH.YOU DESTROYED YOUR PARTY (AFORD) WHO DO YOU BLAME.IF YOU ARE FAILING TO UNITE AND HAVE A STRONG PARTY IN THE NORTH ARE YOU GOING TO SUCCEED WITH FEDERALISM.I FEEL PITTY ON YOU.

92. Mr chisi are you talking of secession or federation?may be you have been misquoted.it also shows that u dont follow events in parliament and outside.you better stop politics and concentrate on your career may be u can find a solution to aids.

93. To hell with your stupid federation!!

94. Achisi,…kodi anthu ambirimbiri angakhale opusa? iwe ndi amene ukanawauza ubwino wa federal system. koma zomwe ukunena ndizosatitukula. ife sitikufuna ndale koma CHITUKUKO. chisi zeru ulije, siungabweretse chitukuko iwe garu more over you loose even MP seat, foolish .

95. There is money on both sides. Just find out frm Vuwa, he went around dishing money to the chiefs!

96. Prof Chisi I thank you so much for this your statement.iam from the North too and personally I see emotions from th people propagating this.the northern region would never be developed or be better after federalism or secession.Amalawi tiyeni tikondane basi.ine my wife comes from the south her dad is frm the central region,we are all Malawians.what we need is kukondana and Mulungu atiphunzitse chikondi chenicheni

97. Chisi yemweyo! Kuti wawawa! I will vote for you next year!

98. Another one funded by opposers of federalism, this poor boy Chisi.

99. Kanyimbi salutes John Chisi.Kumeneku ndiye kubwera. Si za enawa Ngwira ndiye panja peni peni.

100. That’s why u faired badly in elections Chisi!!! Munthuyu ngwa ku Chitipa a very remote place, federalism will help u but because you are a professor full of bullshit, licking Peter’s ass, u go against federalism. Shupiti!!!!

     1. a Chengolopiyo apatu mwangowenesa kuti ndi machende anutu.

     2. Oh nnaiwala paja Chitipaa ili li South. Listen to what he is saying. Dont attack the person. Akunama kuti the North is divided and cannot speak with one voice and that there are some people funding the move. Which country has been divided of late and is at peace or has solved her problems. Sithawi yomangogawana ino its time to come together and solve our differences. Bwanji kodi? Globalisation is the word nowadays

     3. Iwe shupiti zako chongolopiyo. MUnakanika kusunga aford apa, musiyeni chisi ali ndi ufulu wake woyankhula. tikuonelani

101. THANK YOU MR JOHN CHISI now you are aman u have vision for malawian jast tolk to idiet people how want to messi up MALAWI W:H:of AFRICA JOHN CHISI uare next prasident iwas wating aman tolking like you thank u

102. You hear what pple said at Matiti FM – pple from the north will be surprised to see what happened to them during Kamuzu error

103. what do u expect from a loser like Chisi? off with your tails

     1. Chisi has no people to represent he lost even parliamentary seat he is a prodigal son of the north but one point he has scored is that of having a true lovely leader like Chakwera from central region. Other points include: Malawi is too small to be divided further unlike Mzimba which can divided into 4 districts that will be development, President to be delegating propotionally, developments to spread across the country and good salaries for the average worker

104. That’s a mark of statesmanship Prof Chisi,once again well said. But it’s not that the north cannot unite under one leader, it did that before and surely it can do it again now as a matter of necessity. It is yawning for that someone to come forward and take up the challenge and that person could be you! Go for it . We have been watching you and this is the time.

     1. Chisi is a coward, he cant take such a position. Azingophunzitsa ku College of medicine uko. Kukhala ndi nzelu ndikulamulira dziko ndi zinthu ziwiri zosiyana kamfunseni pitala zikumukanikatu nzanu, nabolanso mzimayi uja

105. The reasons for yearning for federal system of government are well known to every Malawian who is not blind like Professor Chisi. Mr Chisi is not fair by selecting only two countries in turmoil that also happen to practice federalism , leaving out successes in USA, SA, Canada etc. Probably after having been heavily financially bruised during his close to madness campaign bid for presidency, Mr. Chisi has ironically opted to attract economic sympathy from Peter Mutharika through his anti federal talk, which unfortunately lack the analytical depth of a real professor. Anyway no one expects much from a diploma mill professor.

     1. It is very funny when people like you, using well learned titles think in this way. Let us start with the USA, are you telling me that all states are doing fine? Do you know that some of the states in the USA are bankrupt? Peopl should not forget that there are 50, yeah right 50 states in the USA. How many do people here know and why?

        Let us talk of SA, which are other provinces do well apart from Western Cape and Gauteng? Has the system of governance there helped to cahnged anything in the Eastern cape for instance? You can insult prof. Chisi the way you want but he is looking at it with a sober mind.

     2. Let me tell you Professor Mambosasa. Chisi’s comparison are valid and to me he is indeed educated. Your suggestion to compare Malawi with USA or Canada or Australia is out of context. Those are developed countries. Chisi is comparing like with like. But because your brain stopped functioning mr Professor Mambosasa and because you can punch a computer keypad and think that you know while you are an empty tin with a lot of noise.

        Chisi is right and has put a good argument. Go and learn to take your empty head filled with emotions and don’t punch the keypad like a baby…shupiti.

     3. USA faught the bigest civil war before becoming what it is, can Malawi aford a long civil war? So dont go there.

106. Prof Chisi kumeneko ndiye kulankhula kwa munthu wankulu ndi olikonda dziko. Osati za enawa ati chifukwa choti amai awo adaluza ndiye akusokeletseni anzathu inu a ku Mpoto. Ifetu tilibe nanu chifukwa. Zaka zonsezi takhalira limodzi. Zintchitomu tikugwilira limodzi. Awa andalewatu pofunika kuchenjera nayo angapweteketse anthu osalakwa a ku mpoto.

     Kodi tsono South ikati we want to be a stand alone and central saying the same dziko likhalapo apa? Musaiwale kuti mdiyerekezitu iye amayenda oluzaluza. Iye amati wakufa saopa kuola. Pakachitika chipwirikiti ndiye ndi mmene atsangalale. Inu zoona anthu anzaeru a ku Mpoto angalimbikitse kugawana? Beware of some of these former leaders of Malawi that you have lowoladi akupweteketsani.

     1. Federal system won’t only apply to the north you people. It will be adopted by the whole country . So this talk of the north having their own country is well misunderstood. Do research before opening your gob !!!

107. Prof,

     You are wasting your time supporting the current status core of our nation. The only way your the region (North) you come from can develop is by determining its own destiny. You will never be appreciated by people from the other regions especially the south. They hate the northers to the bone. Infact, they are cowards.

108. There is gross misunderstanding of federalism in this country, just because Kamuzu Banda said “stupid federation”. The following are federal states, USA, Brazil, Australia, India, Russia, Nigeria, South Africa, Etc. So what is wrong with federalism, tell me.

     1. And how many are not federal states you idiot?

     2. There is nothing wrong with federalism. What is wrong is the thinking that federalism will develop the north. We have debated about this issue for a long time now on why the north would not change much from what it is now but there will be some penalties for the people of the north since the federal governments will have more power. I once stated that the south and central for instance can even afford to introduce more quotas in their regions, extending them to workplaces and so on. When I say this, others accuse me of scaremongering. But let us face the facts here.

        In the USA, some states hold the death penalty while others do not, some recognizea same sex marriages, others not. Others have legalized marijuana, others have not. There are significant differences across the states.

        In Nigeria, other states use sharia law. Now if you look at these differences, what makes you think that The federal governments in Malawi may not want to pursue their own policies that they think may contribute positively to the people of their regions? Do you think an MCP government in the central, representing the people from the central will pursue policies that benefit people from the north, when it has no one from the north to appease? Federal states like in the USA work best because there are no ethnic differences across the states. Here, it will just make ethnic divisions worse, not that I mind if the norh becomes completely independent

109. this prof. is right ONE LOVE ONE PEOPLE

110. Let’s make judgement while we are already in the federal government . If you are a stellar of Southern Region Chisi and you are not seeing what is going in Malawi it’s better to zip your thinking capacity .

111. There is a reason you did not win a single seat in parliament. It was not by accident or by chance. If your claims are right, how could you defend the counterjabs that “you are the one being bankrolled to speak against it”. I mean, let us look at facts, you do not have anything to lose as you have to seat in parliament, that means you have no people to answer to. You want people to leave out emotions on an emotional issue? Have you ever changed your Surname in standard 8 to get a certain chewa-ish one just so you can cheat the system to think you are not from the North, hence get selected? Well, we have and it worked! So shut the fu$&@ up! We will be emotional because it is an emotional issue!!!

112. You should show your unity progressively, start having a strong party in the region then you can easily advance this idea, but currently the region is fragmented because of the so many tribes in it. Guys abiti akupusitsani look at the husband downgraded to a puppet anganya imweee

113. Chisi is right. Ku mpoto akukanika kusunga chipani chawo cha AFORD nde angayime paokha? There is no oneness there, so who are they trying to fool? They have built houses in blantyre, Lilongwe just to mention a few, why didnt they do that at home if they really want to develop it?

     Dont cheat us, dziko linapenya ili after Kamuzu. There is money being chewed by some pple!! mudzalila.

     1. Yes because we are not daft. We agree with sense and not nonsense unlike you who find sense in the nonsense simply because he or a particular party simply because he comes from your region.
        We have tried to be so unique but your nonsenses has failed us and mother Malawi. Better we go sole

        1. And you be led by those perceived nonsense!!! Nonsensical,isn’t it?

114. this prof.. isnt only educated or inteligent he is also wise….be in his classes and u will aprciate…..

     1. PLEASE Malawians John Chisi is PROF and he is expert in Medical not in politics WRONG CAREER John why you failed to do LAW as you could have been professional in politics, indeed i could have understand you also better.

        Remember you are coming from REMOTE AREA in the northern region so FEDERALIMS will help you.

     2. John Chisi is a sellout. He is working for DPP. He is a professor for sale.
