Anthu amene akulimbikitsa zopusawo kuti mwaone zawo zidaera kale tsopano zoti miyandamiyanda ya anthu ikupeza nsima ndi kuphunzitsa ana sukulu kuchokera kuchirengedwe chimenecho sakudziwa.Malawi sangalemere chifukwa chamafutai kumeneko mkuonjezera mavuto mumdziko.Inu bambo Mfiti limbikirani tiripambuyo panu ife.kuti ndalama zolowa ndizambiri kusiyana ndiphindu.Panthu zana limodzi opindula khumi ndekuti ziribwino zikatero?
I am totally disappointed with what is happening to Malawi. Its so embarrassing to see that the leaders are so greedy, instead of looking the ways on how we can make our Malawi sustainable but they want to degrade it to zero level, kodi chimakhala chili chani? have you ever thought about the poor people who are in the rural areas of Our country, Let us unite for No fuel drilling from Our Lake. Who so ever wants this to happen has no soul over the country’s people.
I am dumbfounded by the comments against Mr Mfiti. I wonder if any of those people that are against Mr Mfiti followed the discussions that took place at the Climate Change Summit in France. One of the calls was “keep it in the ground” Countries are being urged to go for renewable energy and move away from fossil fuels. It is unbelievable that a Malawian would “damage” a natural resource like Lake Malawi for the sake of a few greedy people from overseas and a fewer number of people in Malawi who will benefit from the oil proceeds.

Malawi would not benefit from oil drilling considering the current world price of oil. At $38 or so a barrel Malawi will need a very efficient production system and high production levels to just break even. This is not good for us. The cost outweighs the benefits.
Leave the lake alone and let’s to continue brag about the beauty and freshness of our Lake.
Malawians should be realistic. You cannot run a modern economy exporting dry leaves. There is need for the economy to develop a strong industrial base. That is why oil exploration is important. It will enable the country to diversify its economy and have a consistent flow of foreign exchange through out the year. I can go on and on. People like Mfiti still want Malawians to live in the stone age. He gets funding from his benefactors in the west and he is living comfortably whilst millions of Malawians are without food as we speak. In whose interest is he… Read more »
Mr. Mfiti keep on doing , KAMEME waku Chitipa BOMA akudziwa chiyani ubwino wa Nyanja kwa anthu amu mphepete mwanyanjamo?
MBAVA ZANDALE ZIMENENE ZABA KALE KUKAELEKELA SONO ZIKUFUNA ZIBESO KUMAFUTA ON EXPENSE OF THE POOR .
Am sorry brother mfiti you are doing the consultations alone I feel sorry these this things are hearvy for you no wonder people are attacking you coz you are already biased arguments lake is not only for you even selection of people interviewed is questionable get another strategy and put those photos on your Facebook page as others have suggested so that your few friends can see
There is always resistance to most development activities in Malawi be it roads what soever. Oil drilling will benefit all of us as a country that you cannot counter with individual gains. Government can not consult everyone living along the lake on something that does not belong to them not even 0.00001 percent.
We faught this lake battle with Tanzania and won. So you mean after winning we should give up the oil drilling we faught for? Where have you been when the lake was about to be sold by some few selfish individuals
Godfrey Mfiti…taesani kumalemba Tina story takoti pa Facebook….most of these stories about oil drilling on Lake Malawi…you are the Nyasatimes reporter and at the same time an activist in the same story…..me myself I have lost trust in you and your stories are not credible ..the least you can do is to put those photos you shoot along the lake and stick them on your Facebook wall period…..
Malawi will not be the first country.You should also know that more energy resources are discovered and if this oil is not utilised now, in future it would be useless. more important and cheap energy resources could discovered soon
