Malawi federalism demo set for April 8 in Mzuzu
A pressure group in Mzuzu, agitating for adoption of federal system of government in the country, has given a seven-day ultimatum to President Peter Mutharika to explain why debate on the topic, which he promised to happen on political podia, have not yet taken place or else they will hold demonstrations.
Chairperson of the pressure group, calling itself ‘Movement for Federalism’, Harris Kanyeremuka told Nyasa Times that they had petitioned the President to make sure discussions to be orchestrated by the Public Affairs Committee (PAC) on the matter start but nothing has happened.
“It is a while since delivered the petition to follow up on the issue with the president’s office,” said Kanyeremuka.
According to Kanyeremuka, much as Mutharika gave mandate to PAC to facilitate the debate countrywide it was not given a timeframe within which to work in.
“Because of lack of a timeframe the issue [of federalism] may die a natural death, which we don’t want,” he said.
Kanyeremuka further told Nyasa Times that when they contacted PAC, they were told that Committee does not have funding.
“It is this silence that has prompted us to plan of demonstrations in all districts in the northern region should government not give us a response in the next seven days. Our motive is to deliver a petition to the president through district councils,” he said.
Some of the points in the petition which Nyasa Times has seen include immediate commencement of civic education on federalism and giving timeframe for federalism debate.
“We want people to be given a chance whether to have a referendum on the matter or not,” added Kanyeremuka.
Malawi is currently a unitary centralized state, one where there is one central law-making body and one executive or government.
According to this time of government, all parts of the State have the same laws, which are administered and implemented by the same institutions.
Lawmaker Christopher Ngwira is regarded as campaigner of federalism debate in the country for introducing the issue in parliament about a year ago.
And the Forum for the Advancement of a federal system of government in Malawi has warned that they will be forced to hold vigils if the executive will not respond favourably to their petition on the issues of their proposition and rotational presidency.
The forum led by Dr Bina Shaba is arguing that the current unitary system has failed to develop the majority of Malawians and wants to either split the country or change the system of government.
Rights activist Ben Chiza Mkandawire argued that a centralized government “appears remote and lacks legitimacy in the sense that people do not feel properly consulted nor that their consent has been given.”
Shaba the current chairperson for the forum and its secretary Patrick Mwale, said the forum wants government to allow Malawians decide in switching on the federal system or remain with the status quo.
The pressure group wants people to decide the issues through a regional vote then a national referendum.
“A federal system of government would ensure that resources trickle down to people on the ground and they would be given a chance to make their own development priorities,” said Mwale.
Mwale said that in the event that other regions are against a federal system of government then the northern region should secede and be a standalone country.
President Peter Mutharika is on record to have touted federalism as way to go for Malawi in 2006.

why u didn’t start proposing about federal system when jb was in power? don’t take yourself as a best northerner than others. I know who is behind this nasty issue wait and see what will happen to Malawi. instead of focusing on issues that can build Malawi you are busy hunting something that u cant catch. APM is Malawian president 4m chitipa- nsanje, mchinji- nkhota1/4. if u wnt this lets wait 4 2019 on ballot. people cannot trust selfish leaders accept your defeat.
How can you work without good education you Lomwes? Creation of job yachani poti if these northerners go, offices will be vacant. Mukayambira pati inu kulemba mu ofesi apart from kubweretsa zikopa za mbewa!! KKK Mukuona ngati mu ofesi amakasenderamo makoswe akhokhola inu? Manyazi mulibe zingovinani zimawere pamtunda basi thats all that you know. You want to be showing zimawere ndi zida za azibambo zanuzo pamtunda in offices, do you want to scare donors or what? Poti zidazo mumachita kukachekeretsa kwa asing’anga kuti zikule.
Do you know why mukuwakakamira ma northerners? Capital Hill will be down, most big well to do organizations will malfunction because northerners are the driving wheel for almost all organizations in Malawi. Do your research well. I am from Zomba but experience have shown me that. Lets agree, achawa , alomwe anzanga anzathuwa God blessed them when it comes to intelligence. Ask John Tembo!!!!
Federal system is the best for our country.
Most northerners including myself are tired of being treated as second class citizens.
On federal voting, its should be the north voting not the whole country – Do you still remember what happened in Scotland? Did the whole UK vote?
May someone against the federation system answer me the following questions:
1. Why has the Apartheid Quota system not been abolished?
2. what economic contributions have the kayelekera and kazibizibi contributed to the people where these mines are – The North.
3. When will the country of thieves like Malawi come to the bottom of cashgate scandal? – This will be water under the bridge in few years because the first citizen is the beneficial of the same cash – How does a thief take to court another thief. You people in power enjoy the money while the poor are still in rags and only need them when you want to book another term in your executive office.

Federalism ndiyofunika. Koma a Malawi musathamange kaye. All people should be aware first.
If there is a country in the world that is heavily federalized,it is South Africa.If South Africa was a unitary country just like Malawi is,it would ghave been in the bracket of the poorest countries on earth.Malawi will try,and keep trying,but unless it adopts federalism,it will never develop.What federalism is saying is,can we develop our regions based on the resources that we earn?The name of the country will still be Malawi.We will never change the name of our country.Just developing an area based on the resources generated from that area.Thats all!Koma wina akuziwona izi nagti kuti ena akufuna kulamulira.What the heck?Are we happy with the poverty that we have?Nobody woukld be and is happy.
If northerners and people from the central region feel Malawi should equally develop,then why would a certain group of people say no?
southerners you can dicribe us northerners with all sorts of adjectives but we will never be intimidated as Chafukwa Chihana did,what we need is federalism why are you scared
Even if you must curse,but we want federalism,the wuestion is,why are you afraid of it? Mukutikakamila chifukwa chani? Ee cant continue with sourtheners,enough is enough,

One day zizatheka mungapondeleze maka!! GO federal Go!!
Eya zizatheke kumene sitikusowani ife.Olo mudzapange dziko lanu.North???
Reading through the comments, the debate on federalism is indeed necessary. Or is that some people here are so full of hate of northeners to the extent that the subject matter does not matter, but the name behind the subject. I am horrified with the language used in these comments; especially when describing God given biological make up of fellow humanbeings.
I just cannot understand how some people see as evil, the demand to have account # 1 shared among the 3 or 4 regions in order to speed up development.
Mumatithela mitengo yathu bwelenani kwanu ku milakho, mpyiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii anthu onyasa
Shawa, may you desist from calling your grouping ‘concerned malawians’ for we all know whom you really are – jelousy tumbuka’s. i can bet, your demonstration will be conducted in tumbuka wolira sitimuyang’ana pakamwa. balirani, kulira mokweza

Zili bhooo panopa mmene zilllimu.
Palibe za Federalism kuno. Tikulamulirani mpaka ambuye adzabwera. Ku north kuli milk yanji? Thengo lokhalokha ndiye milkyo? Mumakakamila kudzakhala pa central and southern region kuthawa kwanuko. tHIS COUNTRY IS SO SMALL AND CAN NOT AFFORD SUCH STUPID FEDERALISM.
Tumbukas go back home and start developing the dead north. No body will develop it for you. Look at southerners the likes of Chalamanda, we are busy developing south for our selves. Pamene inu muli busy kuthamangisana m’maofesi, mpaka mukufuna kupha DC wanu mayi Chirwa. If that happened to Mtumbuka in south or center you could complained that nepotism is playing a hand in it. Musovenge a Tumbuka. You very selfish that is the reason why you chasing the DC.
Looking at the face of the so called Shawa, you can conclude that the man does not care as he is already old. Wasala madzi amodzi basi kuti doctorate degree yake ithe ntchito. He wants to ignite civil war in Malawi while he is on his trip to graveyard. But remember that Malawi had real men from north during Kamuzu. What did they do? What did they achieve? Were they not eliminated like chickens. Then who are you Shaba to make impact today. You will not. South and central regions’ presidents are experts in quota system. Quota system is there to stay. No president from south and center would dare to abolish quota system, even JB respected quota system. Quota system is in the blood of people from south and center.Bravo quota system. Bravo DPP. Bravo south. Bravo center.
Federalism,
I,really support the ideas of federal Government as a way to go.
we are already in the Nyika land, the land of milk and honey. Call it thengere or what ever you may call us. the truth is we are better of that the Mulhakho’s. you know what Mulhakho’s are good at f……cking, kuba and ufiti pamodzi ndi kutokota. Pamsana panu
ok tikukupenyani.
Malawi does not have money for foolish things like that. If you have funds then fund the discussions. You were given two years to rule this country only to start stealing beds from hospitals, Cashgate and so on. If you have never won an election do you think you can win a referendum?
And you were given 48 years to rule. What did people in your vullages yield? Until today, your people come all the way to rumphi to till soil of the very notheners who are demanding redistribution of resources to your villages. Go to Mzuzu and find out who sells majumbo and ‘drive’ wheelbarrows for us.
Lets talk facts here. Lomwes are everywhere in the country selling jumbos and moppers. All the way frm Thyolo kuzagulitsa majumbo kumputo. I don’t think a tumbuka can do dis.
Federalism Ithandiza Madela Ambiri Kulandira chitukuko Mofananirapo. Amene Akuikana Ndi Aja Amasangalala Akamamva Phrase Yo “dead North”.

I am now in full support of federalism. I cannot stand the sight of the so-called president Ibu going to prison to paint government property in his own party colours. A president who declares his assets based on distorted figures and rescinds after some critical minds question his accumulation of funds. A president who is failing to listen to the voice of reason by favouring the Muhlakho clique. Federation now!!!!!
Look at southerners.They can’t analyse things critically.Their level of grasping things is very shallow.Umbuli ndi mavuto.They are wasting time kumutukwana Shaba instead of looking at things critically.Ikatero mpoto yayamba kale Federalism.This is going to happen in Malawi.Keep the fire burning Mr Shaba.We r behind you.We are tired of thieves who cannot even read their own handwriting properly.Should u call this a caring leader or just thief.Shame for the mass unsuspecting Malawians some uncaring thief posing as a leader making a fortune out of them.
Chikhope tsono khwangudziwilatu kuti mtumbukatu uyu wa kubwekhu ngati Ali mkhofini wafa,

I am not a Tumbuka but I support the federal system of government to eliminate one tribes dominance. You see, instead of concentrating on development Peter is busy partnering with a Tcheya to have a strong grip on power. I think with such level of political dirt it’s better to have federalism. I am only skeptical with secession.
If u don’t know all the change in Malawi started with northerners.Read the history of Malawi properly and you will understand northerners better.Northerners don’t like to be stooges most of the time.Wait and see what is going to happen.Akanganyawa akayamba chinthu ayamba ayamba.They are fearless people.Im from the south but I support federalism.Even the south is very poor from the 50 yrs of unitary system.The mass of people in the south are also living below poverty line.Federalism is the way to go.We r in a free democratic Malawi and the northerners have the rights to make decisions for themselves than being dragged into some useless unitary system that has not benefitted them anything for fifty years. Pamberi na federalism.
Federalism debate should be encouraged at grass-roots level for people to make informed decisions in the event a referendum is held in future on federal government. Let the people kwow through civic education the pros and cons of federal system. Before Peter’ mind became tainted with regional politics/nepotism he proposed federal type of government in 2006.
Small countries like Lesotho are surviving on its own.Supporting the nepotistic people like Mutharika and his Lomwe cronies is just a waste of time.Even the unpopular mbyofo mbyofo Pitala advocated for federalism before he took the mantle in the crooked way.Mr Bina Shana keep the fire burning.We need federalism in Malawi and start civic education in the villages as soon as possible.50 years of unitary system has failed Malawians.Its only a few opportunists who have benefitted from the useless system.Pitala do not own us.He should impose himself on us.We don’t like him.
Oky. Tiye Nazoni
Osatipinga pinga! We gave you 50 years to rule Malawi and all you have succeeded is to make it the poorest country in the world. We need cessation now coz we don’t want to continue with incompetent and nepotism leadership of southerners!

Go to hell. Do you dream that you can win the referendum in MALAWI/? Silly and go and die of poverty. No one can develop the north apart from you northerners. Look how we have developed Lilongwe. Do you expect a person from Phalombe to Develop Rumphi? Does it make a sensible sense?
Go and die if you like with your federeration.

Who told you that in switching from unitary state to federal government you will have to change your passport?

Federalism,
I,really some times wonder as to why some people feels insecure with the federal system?
When u look,and almost all countries in Africa,u would found them operating in federal system.
Malawi,in other words is a bit biger country in comparison to LESOTHO,SWAZILAND and other small countries whose system of Government is Federal.we people of Eastern Malawi,and Mangochi in particular,would really support the course until this demand is fulfilled.
Warning;its better Govenment to pay heed on this matter as a matter of fact.
WHY NOW CRYING FOR FEDERATION ? WE KNOW YOU WANTED TO BE GIVEN POSITIONS IN THE GOVERNMENT. IFE TAKANA TO DIVIDE OUR COUNTRY. YOU FAILED TO MANAGE AFORD NOW YOU WANT TO CREATE CONFUSION AND CIVIL WAR GENOCIDE. FOSEKI ZAKO SHABA AND CHIZA MKANDAWIRE.
Comment Go on Kanyeremuka we are together.
Comment…WE GETTING SUSPITIOUS, WHY ARE YOU AGAINST FEDERAL GOVT.?
Who owns Malawi? Bring facts and not opinions. If the people of the north are advocating for federalism let them go ahead. No one applied to be born, but you can apply for citizenship. The bonafide people of the north just wants federal system of government. Let us vote if they win we go for it if they lose we carry on with the current system. Don’t mention the name of God unnecessary. There is not satanism here only that change comes with a price.

I Kadakwiza. I don’t agree. Federal system of government can’t in Malawi because our country is poor. The system is very expensive. Malawi is poor. But for northern region in particular I think Dr. Bina Shawa and his.company must campaign for secession. I mean the north must be independent state. Which I propose to be Malano. It’s people will be called Malanian. Our president, will be Dr. Bina Shawa.
our capital city will be Rumphi. Our currency will be Malanian Dollar. Our football team will be called the Malanian Cranes or will be Malanian cheetahs. Viva secession,Viva Malano. Bye bye Malawi. Welcome Malano.
People who have nothing to do are now courting trouble for everyone. Please find something useful to do and stop talking about federalism. It is not priority for this country

Ku Ethiopia, dera ilo linali lotsalila pogawa, mpaka pano likakali kumbuyo zedi ngati matako. Just fight for successful Decentralization. ma German akuphunzitseni bwino. enawa ngakuba. IMF, World Bank ndi achina FINCA, Pride Africa padera kwawo nkukawa a Malawi
People in Malawi are too illiterate especially from south and central. Take a pen and a paper and write this down: Northern region complises of Ngoni of Mzimba, Tumbuka of Rumphi and part of mzimba, tonga from Nkhatabay, Nkhonde from Karonga and senga from Chitipa. All these people can speak Tumbuka but that does not make them one. Federal will come, you may not accept it now but it will come just like democracy did.

Divide our beautiful nation. Congrats northerners your dreams is about to become true.
I totally agree to feudalism ndatopa ndi Alhomwewa. I want Community midwifery course under Safe Motherhood ibwerere and Chiefs to lead again in this programme. Officials tried some time back tidalephera kuti timemeze anthu uchembere wabwino. Pano we are losing our women and newborns while watching
Comment d@s too selfish u notherners
just cut electricity for one week .you real depend on southern region even central knows that
Federalism is the only way to make Malawi move otherwise few will enjoy the wealth of Malawi
FEUDALISM YOMWEYO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
‘We from South and Central’?……what does this phrase mean? Tell us the region you are coming from!kkkkkkkkk……..I come from the north and my wife comes from the south. Whatever you people agree on, we are game. If it’s gonna be different states, no problem! Our family will have dual citizenship plus international bank accounts!
Ithink someone iz becoming stupid and insane here.Who started these stupid calls for federalism??iz it mutharika or Ngwira and his fellow selfish northernors??.These guys thought they are more knowledgeable thAn all of us and that iz total nosense….big nosense indeed.U dont need the president to waste his precious time to start awarenes in federalism instead of convincing IMF… kkkkkkkkkk.Mtundu uwu ndiwa anamisaladi kkkkklk.So u thought all our programmes should stop and focus on ur stupid topic and now that no one including ur own tribe hurts the issue u hv decided to push mr president.kkkkklkkkk.educated fools.To hell with ur calls.Next time we will start sending u packing muzikamina ku Hewe….Zitsiru
Atumbuka apatseni mpata adutse chonde. Tipezeko nchito m’maofesimu. Azathuwa qualification yawo akangoti “wakwithu” basi lero lomwe mu payrol. Let them stand alone not fedralism.
Atumbuka inu zitsiru kobasi. U will never rule Malawi, never. Who do you think is going to develop the north? You want people from the central and south to come there to built manson for u? You are here in south building good houses and leaving your sharks in your home districts. Who do you think you are. Munazitenga ngati anthu ozindikira ambwenumbwenu inu. You are free for demos, who cares? Go to hell anthu opusa inu.
Police where are you? These people need to be arrested because they are disturbing law and order in our country. Their sentiments are treasonous and seditious yet Malawi Police you are just watching. What this group is doing is well above exercising their freedom of speech. I am sure our laws do not accept this stupidity. I wonder why these idiots are treated with kid gloves like this? Are they above the law? I am disappointed with Malawi Police!!!!!
We are sick and tired of thieves from the South. The biggest thief is twisting figures on the declaration of salaries. From 8 million dollars to now 2 million dollars. We need federation to manage our own resources.
Izi zawakanika a ku SCOTLAND with oil etc….so a banyani a ku north akufuna kwekweni chani….leave them fotseki….

Mtundu wa nzeru no wonder peter cant stand alone widout de gudo gondwes. I suppote federal government!
Inde with federal maybe livingstonia synod should go away from nkhoma boundaries let’s see who wins
If politics in Malawi is done by regionalism then it’s better to have federalism,Chafukwa Chihana as norther fought and brought democracy in malawi but we are not enjoying and what the southeners have achieved is introducing nepotism. Malawi it’s time to split.
Go on Bina Shaba!!!
All the northers let’s unite and push hard for federalism.why up to now we don’t have president,Army commander or IG from north?
Comment: A pumbwa amenewa muwasiye adzipita kwao. Muchokemo mma company mwathumo mudzipita kwanu. Ifenso tatopa nanu sitikukufunani. Tikupangani xenophobia ngati simunyamuka ndikale lija munayamba kutokota. Palibe wakutchingirani njira. Njira yakwanuko mukuidziwa.
Comment zopanda pake fedrolism the small malawi is will just result into genocide.
WITHOUT FEUDALISM / SECESSION MALAWI WILL TAKE ANOTHER 50 YEARS TO DEVELOP
MAY GOD HELP US ALL WELL WISHERS !!
Gentlemen if northerners wants to stand alone why not allowing them. Akuchita matama chifukwa chani? These people are too pompous! Give them the mandate we shall see!
pitani muyende bwino musatisokosepo apa makamaka standalone yo ali bwino! anzanu anayambitsa anadyetsedwa ma bans anakumanani lero inu maluzi akukwapulani mufuna anu ma bans muwapusitse anzanu! dyera ndiye lakula apa
as a northener i believe fedralism will only bring civil war similar to the genocide in Uganda. It is to our best knowledge that we leave this issue and concetrate on something that will develop a country and not as a state. Malawi is far from having a fedral government because the days of putting such a system are gone,for now it will only bring division as well as corruption. Tha country should focus on reforming some its government operation systems inorder to develop.
Ignorance is bliss yes. Which Uganda? Do you know what Federal system of government means. Is USA at war because of federation??
mwale ur vry selfish.malawi should’nt divide.u lost election accept.don’t hide in the name of mzuzu(tumbuka).war shall erupt becoz of u stupid.
Akufuna kutikhomerera amenewo
OK go ahead may be
No federation then we establish Nyika as a country.

To end imbalances in developing this country , to arrest cronyism , to murder rampant nepotism , tribalism and regionalism by Lhomwes that’s the way to go
FEDERALISM IS A NON-STARTER
We are ready for the Demo, Bravo Kayeremuka. and Bina, We are tired of nepotism, regionalism and tribalism.
I prefer a seperate republic of Nyika (RoN) not federalism. I have houses and other investments in Blantyre but that’ll be part of foreign direct investment to South Malawi and the profits will be repatriated to RoN. It’ll be part of our gross national income. The north is being deliberately held down and abused. Why isn’t there a road at Nyika Plateau and Livingstonia? This is one of the most beautiful areas in the world yet it’s potential is being held down. Why isn’t there a road in Thalire Wenya Usisya Misuku and Euthini yet these areas are blessed with fertile soils capable of feeding the whole nation and even do some contract farming with Gulf countries? This potential is deliberately being stifled. What benefits have come from Mchenga Coal mines and Kayerekera other than personal bribes to some politicians? Why isn’t there a proper jetty and tarred roads at Likoma and Chizumulu islands to allow fast ferries (big enough to transport people, vehicles and other cargo). These islands are capable of becoming our own Hawaii pulling in prime real estate and high end tourism. After 50 years of independence Malawi has only managed to become number 1 pooorest country on earth all because of tribalistically elected leaders. I don’t want to continue being part of this charade. No to unitary state. No to federal state. Yes to cessation!
Atumbuka inu, federalism for wat? Jst keep quite and find other issues to talk. We frm south and central we r nt buying ur weak ideas.
Giving Govt an ultimatum? Thats nonsense. Just go and demonstrate then tell us whether you will receive what you want from the streets.
it is important to be very careful when some feel federalism is the solution for Malawi why Dr Bina Shawa and the team are you not for full decentralization that will enable people from all districts of malawi to have the best public service delivery…. am from Chikwawa you saw how the floods exposed our extreme poverty…please do not be possessed with the mind to lead and be thinking tribelistic because the one who said it most….most times is more and entranched and more tribelistic ….watch this space for the future record…Malawi is one ..KAMUZU said it all from independence
We have it already and its not working
Amenewo ndiye atumbuka kucita phokoso pamalawi mali momagwira ntchito zotukula dziko lawo koma kukangana basi.
Achewa enafe zikutinyasatu mwamva?
No doubt that Tumbukas are very selfish people, anthu oipa, they rose against Nkhoma synod because of greedy motives, these people are useless, they gave Kamuzu life presidency, they gave Bingu Ngwazi title, they were in the fore front of destroying Chikangawa forest and Kaliyatiz were just following. Tumbukas wishes will not materialise, tingokuwonani mukupanga timisonkhano tamadzulo ndi usiku but God is always in control.
Kayende kameneka basi
north should just break away. don’t bother us with so many referenda
in what part of northern region where people need federal system of government?,sorry sibweni usapitirize kuonong’a mbiri yathu we want to clean our nothern region so respect urself we dont want federal system.lets join hands & develop our region.tisamvetso zimenezo upeze chochita
Push 4 it and we r 4 it. But warn the Ngwira and other lawmakers never to accept ministrial positions as a way of silencing fedalism. Otherwise we wil impeach them straightaway.
With such stupid remarks we are relocating the resources for Njakwa road to Neno and Mombera university to Marine university in Mangochi and you stupid and ungrateful Tumbukas to go and mobilise your resources and by 1 july 2015 all Tumbukas will be asked to leave the south and head north.
Atumbuka tangopangani dziko lanu musatibowe, chigawo chapakati pano sitikukufunani, zipitani kwanu kumpoto
fedral system of government is well supported and we dont know why the president dont want to support the issue let us go for refrendum and see what will happen.
Am from the south but i would love to see the north move out of malawi. the tumbukas are selfish please let them go.
So are southerners
Patrick Mwale’s views on federalism are not for the people in the region but he thinks as an individual. He shows how marginal, parochial and myopic he is. Malawi’s problem is in the system of the government but the system of the economy we are pursuing and greedy among the rich and powerful Malawians including the majority of northerners. I am a genuine Northerner but I have all evidence that if some northerners have been given a chance to lead, they tend to abuse it as other Malawians from other two regions do. We need to denounce greedy if possible conduct national demonstration against greedy Malawians from all three region. secession is not the solution. Even the northerners can secede to today from Malawi, the problems they are raising will be with them for the next century. Greedy is the problem.
Kusowa potchukila eti, umadikira ukalambe choncho iwe Shaba ndie uzizapanga zimenezo??
Ulamuliro woti chuma cha dziko chosonkha anthu onse chizingopita mbali imodzi ndiye zikuwawa anthu ambiri omwe amapwetekeka ndi kulimbikira ntchito.

Koma kumeneko hungry for leadership mmmmmmm too much.
Northeners, is there a gate between Nyika republic and Malawi? Why not just move to Nyika instead of making noise always. We are rebuiling our nation after notheners stole money through cashgate.
agalu inu munya muona. federalism yachani? mukafuna tingogawana zikoli musamumuke nose muzipita kutchire kwanu kumpoto.
Is it 4 de north only. What r u fighting 4 guys
