The Honorable Nicholas Dausi impressed me with his knowledge of the philosophers of the Age of Enlightenment. In our own benighted age, erudition is rare. If the honorable gentleman wishes to bring his happiness studies up-to-date, I suggest he read ‘The Politics of Happiness: What Government Can Learn from the New Research on Well-Being’ by David Bok (2010), and ‘The Economics of Happiness’ by Mark Anielski (2007). The honorable gentleman also made several classical references. Perhaps in a study of Roman civilization we can find ideas that may improve our own civilization. For example, by now all of us are… Read more »

7/10 – Thitherward. I found your loquacious comments quite interesting, amusing, and annoying – in equal parts. However, you have not really come to any conclusion. If Mr Dausi is so great, shouldn’t you be advocating his appointment as the world’s first Minister of Happiness?

Honourable Dausi was excellent here. He presented himself very well. One time while at Capital Radio Brian Banda had an interview with JB then as a VP who had fallen favour in DPP. Brian spent the whole time licking JB’s boots, handbag, arse, and was falling all over JB. After the sudden death of the late Professor Bingu WaMutharika, JB ascended to power and made this little piece of shit as her press secretary. During that period, I don’t doubt that he partook cashgate money (60% we hear was going to abiti in cash). I do not expect Brian Banda… Read more »

Do the media in Malawi do awards? This boy Brian Banda needs to be honored. I will not be surprised if BBC calls on him. Well done Brian Banda.

Congratulations my brother Daus for knowing that “you are wise because you know that you are foolish”. This is from your answers and arguments wth the press guys whom you accused without perhaps just to impress your boss who gave you that job. Have a nice day and continue!!!!!!!

jealous down, I always thank god for the gift of characters like Mr Nicholas Dausi,,,,he is so talented speaker, he speaks with a real purpose and applies living examples with a mixture of big words that are otherwise easy to understand. but Malawians should have time to appreciate values in our human resources regardless of political differences, not always talking bad about our statement like dausi. iam MCP member because Mr Dausi is A DPP member,,,,,,in a decent democracy, development will come if MCP CHAKWERA ideas are interacting positively with DPP. APM ideas. we are all Malawians if we learn… Read more »

Seeing reality I know when the president goes outside his Republic (Mutharika Republic) he is surrounded by rich people in suits. He can not see the poor and the hungry we live with in the villages. I would expect his men and women would interact with us and tell the President about the high levels of poverty and suffering we are going through. An honest messenger would say exactly how life is for an ordinary Malawian. It is proved to me and others that the challenges Malawi faces are too big the regime. We gave them an impossible task. They… Read more »
