Malawi President Mutharika, this nonsense has to stop – Idriss Ali Nassah
You are not doing too well, Mr. President.
Your press conference last week was a disaster. What most of us find annoying about politicians—and you have started to do this with frequency now—is that they don’t seem able to give a straight answer to a simple question.
Your shouting and banging on the table did nothing to convince that it was necessary to take over 100 people to New York at public expense, or that it was essential for you to charter a private jet, again at the expense of the poor people of this country.
Your performance was Bingu wa Mutharika all over again; when the going got tough Bingu would accuse his critics of envy and hate and would claim that he was rich and didn’t need the money for doing the job of president. That is lame and I suggest that next time you should come with a better argument than that.
I feel horribly let down by you. It was always my hope that you, as president, were going to be rather more grown-up in this job than your predecessor was. When few gave you the benefit of doubt, I did say that you seemed to be the man to give us decisive leadership in these difficult times and help turn our fortunes around.
But instead of uniting the country around a common purpose and saying let’s get on with the business of building a nation, you are now chasing shadows. You are quick to blame Joyce Banda, the donors and the media every time that you cock something up.
By now, you should know that it is the job of the media to put the government of the day in as difficult a position as possible. You have to face them with facts, not threats.
The media and communications team at State House should have told you that, and prepared you for it, but they are useless. Look around you and ask yourself if those people were the best and brightest brains available. Giving people jobs solely on the basis that they supported you in the past is never a good idea, as many presidents have found out to their cost.
Right now, Malawians are not sure what exactly is your position regarding the big, expensive jamboree in New York. Did you address the uneasiness around the fact that it was reported that you only approved a delegation of 18 but, somehow, over 100 people found their way? The answer is NO. You complain that the media is out to get you but truth is it is nothing to do with you but the office you occupy. And nobody forced you to take that job.
Bragging that you were a millionaire before you became president is a stupid argument to make. There are too many unanswered questions about how your brother, in a few years a president, amassed a massive fortune and who benefitted from it. Malawians don’t know for a fact whether you had any of those millions before your brother became president. It’s likely you didn’t.
Since you stayed out of the country too long you might not know this, but it is generally considered rather vulgar, in this part of the world, as a leader of the people, to talk about how rich you are when the majority of your people live in depressing poverty. And, also, it is just obscene vanity. I would respectfully suggest that you don’t ever talk about those millions again. Nobody likes to be ripped off and then have the added insult of being laughed at for being a sucker. Even if indeed you had those millions, it’s a moot point. The real issue here is how you are using taxpayers’ money right now.
The kwacha is falling, the country can’t supply enough water and electricity, unemployment is rising, food prices are skyrocketing, hospitals have no drugs, teachers are not paid on time, doctors are disgruntled, government expenditure is out of whack, the economy is staggering and there is worse to come. In the face of all that you think it is wise to boast about your millions in the bank?
I have spoken to quite a few people who liked you when you campaigned for the presidency but now they are not sure. They had thought you were not going to make the debilitating mistakes—especially the disdain and arrogance—of the DPP of the past but it seems what they thought of you isn’t what they are getting.
The decision is yours but if you continue on this track it won’t end too well for you, I am afraid.

Dont rule out possibilty of Tumbukas ruling this country or one of them beoming State president, its only who knows not us. who knew JB will be president? Remember JB was picked as runningmate by Bingu amongst Goodal Gondwe, and Henry Chimunthu Banda, supposed Bingu picked Goodal Gondwe what could have happened after his death or may be Bingu could not have died? We are all Malawians regions, ethinc groups shouldnt dicide us let vote for a right candidate with vision in these elections not wakwithu, wakumangwetu, wakukaya, its one malawi one people. Look tonse tikuvutika apa chifukwa chogulitsa chilungamo. So we will starve up to 2019, if we will not change the way we think and do things we will extend these problems up to 2024. Donors will always demand impossibles reason they are not happy with robbers, thieves, crooks, imagin kuba 577billion and pano kumatiuza kuti i am here to help not to get your money is he serious? who forced himn or why he forced himself in despite malawians voting for someone else? Corrupting all state machinery police, army, judiciary but you failed to corrupt God thats why malawians will be in trouble until leadership changes
NGATI ABWANA ALI NDI NDALAMA ZAMBIRI KU AMERICA why is he using payers money. sorry selfish presdt. just go america and stay with ur family, chifukwa mwalepera
The 36% that voted if indeed for this man is a curse to the nation. Chewas are not clever they didn’t vote for this zombie. Notes atumbuka kaya 2019?!!!
“Chewas are not clever…”?????
This could actually speak more about the filth on your mind than it does about the Chewa.
Your last statement is unclear. But, surely, you don’t mean that a Tumbuka person can win the presidency in 2019?
A Tumbuka person will NEVER be president of MW; certainly not in this generation. This must be obvious even to you.
We human beings reap only that which we sow. The “KUDZIKONDA” tag that you’ve worn will not easily be shaken away. Rumour has it that Chakufwa Chihana was on the verge of winning the 1994 race; but oddly, he named a shadow cabinet that had 90%Tumbuka representation. This partly explains why Bakili leapfrogged him in the final stages.
You have started war with journalists. It was a miscaculation. Nsanje to Chitipa, Likoma to salima etc, you are exposed
There’s a term ‘nanyerho dungu’ in our lhomwe language. simusowanso kuuzidwa za ameneyu. ndamutopera.
idrisa next time ukamalemba mdani wako kutali.Tel ur ppo from south to b votin wisly otherwise they die with hunger
You president is too dull and lacking in self-esteem and confidence to address any group of people without the help of those hundreds he hauled to NY! And he did put them to good use because I saw them childishly clapping hands for the dull professor over the most nonsensical things! That office is too ‘big’ for someone that dull!
Malawians are a self cursed nation. How could normal people decide to elect someone notorious for failure as a cabinet minister to run the affairs of their own country that they love. What type of myopia is this if it is not a curse or absolute madness? This nonsense has got to stop! Just why don’t people mind about their own welfare and the future generations? Have politicians cast a spell on you Malawians that you can really put an American zombie on the seat of presidency? The power to shape our destiny is solely in our hands and if we continue electing people such as this miserable professor to run this country then we will continue to lag behind the rest of the world and become the first peaceful nation to become a failed state. And it will be very soon!
This article is well written from a qualified and able journalist, but many of the comments are bad full of hatred and regionalism
I wish you my President be composed and emotional free. It sounds rather naive but that is the fact. Imagine teachers who were administering the just announced MSCE have not yet received their allowances. Please be guided that things are not as rosy as you might think on the ground. Do something about it.
Apatseni ma invigolators what is due to them.SORRY TO SAY THIS.
Well done idriss i like your message so much i wish you can send to this white elephant who thinks he is a millionaire but still using public money
Iddrisa, at least I read and finish this article. Well put thought it sounds emotional. This is the line of reasoning malawi need.
bragging about personal fortunes while opulently living on and while mismanaging meagre public resources is arrogance of the rankest order. there will never be the numbers again of sheepish voters and threatened electoral commissioners to conjure results from inconclusive elections. the price is too high for the citizens to allow such to happen. one term presidency is nigh so that the personal millions can be enjoyed without being arrogant to fellow citizens who want their tax money spent wisely. it would be even honourable if the rich president resigned now from the job of managing the resources of the poor country and went back to his second home to enjoy his personal wealth quietly. this country, poor as it is, knows how to pray for restoration of their pride and their honour, and last time we checked, God Almighty has been generous to swiftly and decisively answer such prayers!
Look at Idriss looking like a peanut standing next to a giant! Slow down Dude, respect the man. You can can put your 2 cents or whatever and hit at the man but all I hear is this Idrissa Clown talking like a little girl whining over red shoes. Be Objective Dude, please!
What do you expect when you ask your 90-year-old granddad to take care of business?? Total comedy!!
Mr Dungulinya your claim that the article above has emotional overtones is right. however, the writer has all the right to express himself that way. as one of proud Malawians who cares about the future of his country, i share his sentiments. our president is our leader and father and is subject to accountability in the way he handles our nation. am sure before vying for the presidency he was aware of what it entails to be a president. in as far as you defend him as being human, we still look forward to see where he is leading our beautiful country to. we cannot watch things sliding back and regressing. this is our country and there will never be another Malawi.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPMMMMMMMMMM woyeee winawe zizikuwawabe let him run the government it is his time if you think he is not leading us well wait until 2019.
I think Dungulinya is very intelligent and he has a good reason to back up the President. However, I believe all the presidents at some point need to be accountable for what they have done. In this case, it is silly for the government, which is struggling and begging for money left and right to take 100 people on a tour. I say so because this was not to the benefit of the country. A president who gets angry because people want to know the truth is a symbol of a failed leader. This man has no vision so is his entourage. Sometimes it is better just to step down and pave way for those who can do better. Very educated leaders have proved to be more foolish than moderate ones.
This is what Malawians wanted so that their President and a few people to kill Malawi economy. Whoever allowed this person to run Malawi will face the dire consequences. The Kwacha is nose diving at a faster rate and yet this person President takes 100 people with big allowances to the USA. There was nothing that the world heard with the Lomwe English accent of this person. I mean no one, but just went to US with nothing in mind at all. Useless President. When he was in USA, I do not think he accumulated $8 million dollars. We live here in USA and I have never heard of anyone accumulating $8 million for being a professor (who was not even understood with his lomwe accent) to earn all that money. this person is just killing Malawians and has run out of ideas. He came here and was welcomed by Patricia Kaliati, why not welcomed by the Malawian Ambassador or John Kerry or someone known to people. What is there with Kalyati between the two Bingus. Malawians we are in great trouble with these stupid leaders who do not care about poor Malawians.
Good one nyasa.
Che dumplings….manuals mulibe? From nyasatimes this article is one professional art in street writers with no ghetto. Actually to me this is an appetizer. Now the context of the article can be debated.
Agogo akamenya tebulo ndiye kuti kwavutatu? Presidency is NOT for table bangers, poti mwati ndalama muli nazo kale , please resign! You dont need our money and Malawians dont need you either! Lhomwes need you only for them to access govt positions and contracts, the rest of Malawi dont need you sir.
yet another puppet wanting to be known
I never seen a stupit President like Peter!!!! He repeats same mistakes Bingu did!! Hell is coming upon u Peter remember that!!!!!! Oh Lord have mercy on Malawi.
Millionaire teacher hehehe where did you see neo nazi professors become millionaires? Mr Ibo koma!
LORD HELP MALAWI
Looks like it all started in Their family,,,,
Nthawi yanu bwana President. Am not surprised with APM behaviour. Somebody told me that he is a replica of his brother by way of the so called gene disposition
Mukunamatu inu…iya!
APM asakwiye ndi mafunso opusawo???
Well said Idrissa. Peter usazanene kuti panalibe okuuza zikakuvuta patsogolopa. Peter will go down in the anulls of Malawi history as the worst president the country has ever had.Peter is so overrated.
Mr president wake up from your slumber, don’t lie that you were a millionaire, you were poor that’s why you applied for that job through campaigning,
Word
Last time I checked this idiot called APM has got nothing,but bragging. Nchifukwa chake anzake zaka zapitazo anammenya kumowa ndi kumuchotsa mano. Sadziwa kuti kuli anthu a ndalama osati kumadzitama
eeee. this rubbish must end kujaila kuwanamiza anthu basi utolankhani ophunzilira pansi pamtengowo…..
akakhala Lazaro chakwera ndiye ali ndi bodza no wonder anathawako kuubusa mxiew
Mbatata ya President!
Who is this Nassa guy?
Cadiac arrest? No no no. A bad carpenter always blame his tools ! Koma 2019 tifika mulopwana khananiwana
Idrissa Nasser made my heart ache with pain a few months ago when he wrote an article dripping with unbridled praise for Peter Mutharika . I wondered about what he had seen in the man that a lot of us couldn’t see . I’m glad that it seems that your eyes are now fully open Mr Nasser, and that you are able to recognise cow dung when you see it .
Well said
It is interesting to learn that the president is very rich. Then why hasMalawi been complaining about the ban the international donors imposed on Malawi when they is a prospective donor within. Africa is increasingly becoming pathetic whereby those that plunder it of its resources later bost to their respective nations. How long shall we tolerate such scenarios. Mr president why don’t you donte your money to the hospitals which have no medicines and the ambulances are on halt. Be serious mr President. This id not pilitics but relating facts.
IDRISS, I THINK I LOVE U. THERE WAS A TIME WHEN U HAD WRITTEN ON NYASA. I DIDN’T LIKE U THEN. BUT I THINK UR A PRINCIPLED PERSON, U CALL A SPADE A SPADE.
I WISHED WE HAD A FEW OF SUCH followers, ZU SEE MATURITY N INTELLIGENCE IN THIS MAN.
Idriss walemba zomveka. Opposition MP’s do you see this. What are u doing
MERA footed the bill of all those who accompanied the President
Sir you seem to have liked to be a president and forget that, the post comes with so much media scrutiny. You were overseas and should know that. If you were indeed a millionaire before you came to malawi then I believe your passion should be to deliver your fellow Malawians from abject poverty so they can live life like yours. The truth is no one can contest what you say, for you and your late brother knows the truth. How can we believe whatever you say when huge amounts of money went missing under your brothers watch.Hhhhhhh baba people have every reason to doubt. Fix the country and you may be lucky to find everyone clapping hands for you
Am “afraid”. Idriss has talked. Being 40yrs in abroad, needs him 40yrs in country to diagonise(sp) the suferings and the needs of the people of Malawi.
This nosense of repeating the same story must stop as well! Zatikwana nkhani za APM.
Am afraid too.sorry 4 Tethani 4 going too early we could have see zinthu yapa.
You reap what you sow. APM needs to re-position his presidency and get on track, otherwise there will be problems ahead. The good ship ‘Malawi’ is rudderless and foundering and its captain, APM, is doing nothing to steer it clear of the rocks. He is just shouting and banging the table. His passengers, the citizens of Malawi, have lost faith in his leadership. Where will it all end?
I am equally afraid, if the president continues on this track, it …
Nice piece and well written. APM never attended interviews for that post but rather he was put there on trust, that is if he was indeed the rightful winner of the 2014 presidential elections. As such he has to be accountable and transparent with the public purse. We are his bosses, we therefore have the right to put him to task whenever we see that he has gone astray. Whether he was a millionaire before ascending to the presidency we care less because its us on the ground feeling the pinch of this economic bite. The shouting and the banging of tables has no room in a democratic country. Respect is paramount because we are not your kids but rather your bosses as such we are supposed to provide checks and balances as it is our money that saw Gertrude Maseko’s daughter among the 118 people that accompanied you to New York, USA.
APM u r a fool minded
Well said but the joke is on you Idriss. Not a long time ago you wrote a peice praising the president. It was all based on hope rather than expectation based on facts. The facts you ignored were that APM had failed miserably as a cabinet minister before. How you ignored all that to suggest that APM would be great is beyond beleif. The point here is that people like you are the ones who are breeding these type of leaders. You praise them on baseless points and hype them up based on intuition. Guess what my friend, you equally responsible for APM being arrogant and everything else you have accused him of. The question you should address in your next article is what has changed since the time you endorsed APM?
Welcome to the future APM ! …..
Idrissa tsopano!!!. Eiish nde ungakwiyetu kumposanso presidentyo.
Simple and to the point.
Sadly, I don’t think anyone at State House is willing to listen or understand.
Commenters are saying Mr. Nassah’s article is emotional? Is he banging the table or throwing out insults or threats?
He is simply expressing the disappointment many feel in a president who is supposed to be more statesman-like and respectable.
He can be human and show his anger or even love in private. On the stage, in front of camera, the whole word expects their public figures to act with self-control, no matter how emotional they may feel about the issues they are addressing.
I think Mathanyula has lost it. Not sure what he is smoking or drinking, whatever it is its not doing him any good. He definitely looked like a rabid dog at that press conference. He can bang the tables, he can hit the roof, but shouting, screaming, and pointing fingers at the people who pay your salary is totally ridiculous. Don’t forget we put you in that position, we can easily take you down. The days of leaders shouting at the masses is long gone, this is 2015. We will hold you accountable dude, and if you can’t handle criticism then may be this is not the right job for. Retire and enjoy the “millions” you questionably made in USA and stop making our lives unbearable.
shame mr przdnt
A concise, well-argued, clearly structured piece of journalism! A pity APM doesn’t listen to anyone except those who agree with him!
I like your English and your style of writing. It flows and the reader flows with it. That’s all I can say.
awa ali nose diving
Koma!!!!!
This man is a silent killer,he is killing Malawians using whatever trick he knows. Our money has no security. Therefore lets demonstrate in all city streets of Malawi to show our anger until he is removed from state house. Malawians Wakeup!! Dzuka Malawi Dzuka!!!!!!
Thats the Idris i know, i really wish Ralph was still here the president banging tables was uncalled for
Stupid president
Dungulinya, not your real name we know. Your real name should be Mlalko blindman, who supports the president even if when he is completely misguided by his useless advisers. I’m sure you are one of the ‘tikudyelera clansman’. I belong to DPP, my mother is from Thyolo, but for the love of my country, I would advise the president to spend just one week in the village or one of our town locations disguised as an ordinary person. He will completely stop listening to people like you, Bamusi, Chaponda, Kaliati, Fabiano, Chiyembekeza and others. The will have the truth of the absolutely suffering Malawians.
Well written idriss and very objective, chase this crazy bwampini out of town, he thinks we malawians are his peasants on his personal estate, let him sing his ng’we ng’we song back in America where he was once voted to be the worst lecturer
….banging table’s is in their blood remember his late brother addressing the country when he was full of whisky. As a president you should be ready for criticisms. Pipo want to know how you managed to get 100 pipo to fly while we do have lot’s of problems that needs an immidiate attention than what you did. If you were already a millionaire why are you suffering from that humiliation then? Why can’t you quit if you have stolen enough as your late brother ripped from poorer Malawians? Just quit, this should increase your blood pressure as you are now rich!
If he has ears let him hear… The choice is his!!!!
Hahaha I think your article is too emotional than the president’s press conference on that day. I have read some of your articles before and I really liked your objectivity but this one mwaojeza baba. Of course the president goofed on his press conference. It was really a whack he needs to go for presidential orientation to manage his speech and body language when appearing on stage to the public. His body language is unpresidential. I dont know kuti anthu amakhala naye pafupi ntchito yawo ndi chani. The guy is cheated big time. Kodi alibe ma true friends oti akatha kuyankhula azimuuza the mistakes he made?? what are friends for?? I guess he has cronies! My Malawi!!!!!!
Voted by minority and hated by majority
This guy thinks he so educated and his clever, I am not a politician but these guys amatitengera kumtoso. Instead of holding his tongue his say awful words he was not born a leader after all whatever you did to get elected, smart one is his vice the only person who seem to know what he is doing.
This is an angry Idris. Fortunately, fortunately he is not from the north. Otherwise stupid pigs in the name of human beings would have been mentioning his tribe by now. idris, I don’t want to know your tribe, because I know you are Malawian raising pertinent issues affecting the nation. Having said that, I must state here that the President did nothing wrong to show emotions. Sometimes a human being must real. Clearly the president was justifiably upset by some of the media reports.
U think we’re fools,when malawians take a stand u’ll feel it thick.kumbukirani onse achokapampandopo,ena ndi kufa,ena ndikuberedwa.Mulungu satayawake azatiyankhanso.
The suffering and pain of WE the people can remotely kill. Ask Bingu.
Don’t trust Malawi politicians. During campaign time they are humble. The moment they win, then they will climb on top of the highest mountain and insult the electorate.
#Patiently waiting 2019.
Dungulinya iwenso ndiwe wa chamba President aziwononga chuma cha dziko lathu inu nkumanena eeee kaya kaya zachamba zimenezo
Thank you Idriss for saying it as it is. Now, Mr President, the ball is in your court. This nonsense must stop!
Simple question, who sponsored the people to America or UN?
I do not see why you should be angry or loose tempers with this question.
It is insulting? why are you not giving straight forward answer.
Being objective is looking at both sides of the coin and presenting a fair picture of the same. For reasons I am not prepared to discuss here, I have never liked DPPs rule from Bingu’s second term todate. But I will be rhetorical in putting forward my point of view. Is it freedom of speech/press only when someone calls APM “Stupid” in the comments being made in some of our online news channels but then it becomes muzzling freedom of speech when APM uses the same word in response? Doesn’t the freedom of speech extend to APM?
The president is supposed to lead by example and hold to respectful language, even against his opponents or perceived ‘enemies’.
I’m not aware of any respectable media or community organisation use words like ‘stupid’
Comments on article are from the general public and and do not reflect the views of the websites on which they are published.
You can not compare commenters on Nyasa Times, for example, to the language the president uses. As the leader of a supposedly democratic country, we expect him to adhere to a higher standard than the language used on the streets or in bars.
We are almost clocking two years, and this president is still failing to get in gear one.
What gives the president the right to operate a foreign account yet we citizens will get questioned and locked up.I will take out to my BVI usd 20 million and I want to see what sovereign rights I have
Fellow Malawians if you were already around at the time of the likes of the late Hon. Aaron Gadama, he once stated that the “Presidency” ndi ‘MPANDO WONONA’ and every sane African politian would even kill to get there. When I was Chief accountant of a certain company in Limbe, we had so many dishonoured cheques form one businessman just before he became president of Malawi. I remember so well a cheque amounting to MK50,000 being returned as ‘Refer to Drawer’. Yet, a few months after he became persident, this same ex-businessman was now buying houses all over the place as we normally buy shirts! Before the country knew it, he was now one of the multimillionaires in the country. It’s the same with the Late Kamuzu Banda, the late Bingu and the list goes on. No wonder the late Hon. Gadama revealed at a rally that this ‘presidency chair’ is rich in ‘protein’ (Wonona!’. I wouldn’t be surprised that most would-be presidential candidates as well as the incumbent one don’t really have the welfare of the Malawian masses at heart. It’s most likely that ” PAYELE ! PAYELE!” How unfortunate! May God see this injustice and deal with it in a decisive manner as He has always done in the past. God’s divine intervention is the only hope left for the suffering Malawians.
So even Idriss Ali Nassa doesn’t understand the simple english sentence that the hundred plus delegates weren’t funded using public funds? Whats the use of education in Malawi? I thought by now someone would come with different findings concerning the trip, something like “the president lied, the truth is that all the delegates were funded by the tax payer” and produce some evedence? Once again WHAT’S THE USE OF EDUCATION TO MALAWIANS LIKE NASSA? If up to now none of the scores of Malawi’s media has failed to come up with facts to prove the president otherwise, then indeed THIS NONSENSE BY THE MEDIA AND MALAWIANS WITH WASTED EDUCATION HAS GOT TO STOP
Behind your ‘simple sentence’ are lots of obscure facts. The government didn’t pay for all the delegates? Then who did? The UN and US have said they did not pay.
Did they pay the thousands of dollars in travel and accommodation costs out of their own pocket? Are they all billionaires like Peter?
Political parties have long hidden behind the rather meaningless word – ‘well-wishers’ . Who are these anonymous ‘well-wishers’ who are funding political party campaigns and even government ministers?
Are they also in government? Business men and women? They are most probably seeking influence and government contracts through their ‘well-wishing’ donations.
It is high time there was transparency in political funding in Malawi. All parties should be obliged to publish lists of their donors and accounts. This is the norm in most developed countries.
Lack of transparency facilitates far too much corruption in our benighted continent. We have an abundance of rich natural resources, but our people continue to starve.
Fix this!
Mr. Nassa has got a point in what he has written. However his presentation of facts shows lack of respect for the president. The tone of his writing is emotional. He shows that he is angry. He is addressing the president like his toddler. It shows lack of respect. Instead of advising the president, he is shouting him. Who can take take that shouting? As a respected person yourself, you cannot advise the president through the media. It is wrong. It is good to behave like aprofesional and not like a salvage at times. I respect you sir. Next time address the president well. Mind you he is your president and mine. Lets respect him.
Awanso asatitopetse posachedwapa amasapotera ndiye poti sanawapatse udindo adzilira ndi ife?
Just shut up mchawa wachabechabe iwe, umawona ngati ahlomwe angakuitanire kuti udzimwa nawo chigoba chimodzi?
Mbuzi!
Way to go Idriss. In fact out of all that is happening, the President has left us wondering whether he has a bearing on which direction he is taking this “ship”. My opinion; he seems lost. Am no partisan, am Malawian. Mr President, please get some direction. With banging on the table and appropriate speech that is actually beneficial, get hold of your office and help poor Malawians
Had it been you are among the miliyoneyaz already mukanagula jet yanu as Bushiri did, infact, you are becoming at least handsome because of our tax do not lie to us…
Idriss, keep it up I enjoy your line of thought, it’s. Food for thought of Mr president and we heard him Cleary banging tables like his late brother, am wonderintg maybe JB was, ,,,,
Look at the face of APM – Do you see anything good from him? Sycophants and opuputa nsapato zake will always praise and back him. But he is the worst president in fact by rating he is scoring -10 out of 10. Indeed it wont end well for you Mr president if you continues this path. The message from Malawians is loud and clear “We would rather die on our legs than live on our knees” Take it or leave it!
the best piece of down-to-earth writing i have read on nyasatimes. bring it on! you should also have reminded him that if he finds the going tough he can always pack up and head back to the usa. malawi will continue without him just as it did witout kamuazu.
This article articulates everything that is indeed happening and its unfortunate that no one in government executive sees this. They are blinded by what they were eating and drinking in New York. Ataya chipangano chawo chomwe. If they look at this article objectively without arrogance, they will definitely borrow a leaf and not just defend themselves.
Time is still ticking and this country is heading to an explosion if this Mr President guy doesnt handle Malawians with care. Malawians are well informed and they share information. They know what is going on and penapake ziphulikira limodzi and its when mudzamudziwa Mmalawi wokwiya…
Mr President watch out your tongue
Dungulinya @2;so you mean Idris Nassah is not a human being to be emotional and angry? Only the thieving Mutharika blood are humans?And the rest of us feel things are extremely the worst are not?No wonder we were called chickens because of asslickers like you.I believe you were part of 105 kaya whatever figure who are benefiting from the loot.You must be castrated because u will bring cursed and useless breed in our beautiful Malawi.
If you put much trust on matchona it endup like this
I applaud the president. Malawians are batter tamed with some hard talk. Kamuzu knew this secret although most of his critics met crocodile teeth. the president has plainly told you that he was already a millionaire. Plain truth. Only that truth pains. Someone who does nothing thinks the president is eating his money. Which money? Instead of working hard, your fellow folks are busy playing bawo and drinking ntonjani. Go to some districts in the Centre.
I hope you listen to all the nonsense but constructive criticism people are giving u.
Mr. President, who is by your side these days? I feel like everyone including Viola is against you. Just hire me so that I can be receiving your salary instead since you don’t need Malawian kwacha. I will be praising you even if you carry 200 delegates to India and England. I promise.
Kwakho
Malawi as a country got a long way to go. Mutharika is rude, stubborn and not a presidential material and he knows it but he has already prepared his thugs to rig the votes come 2019. It’s my hope Malawi congress party have put some mechanisms in place to block the idiot from stealing the votes again. I can’t imagine presidents like the kikwetes of this world calling his own people stupid and boasting about his riches. He is infact insulting his own people he is supposed to govern and who can give him another term. You have an idiot of the president and that’s the bottom line. This article is well written and I was surprised it is written by one indris cos the last time I checked, this idris guy was sucking up to mutharika like a bitch. Should we probably conclude that he has now seen the real side of peter or he is bitter cos he was left out on the new York trip? How does a sane president take with him the whole fucking village to new York only to lie through his useless teeth the next day that he did not see the 100 people in the same plane? Where the f… Is the useless president taking the country to??? I’m so pissed off!
Awful President of Malawi (APM)proudly brought by the DPP
Idriss Nassa wakwiya.
No comment. The last sentence of the article says it all!
Mr Nassau has lost his objectivity lately. His writing about Mr mutharika has emotional overtones and has gone personal. At what juncture did you forget that his brother was a human being, yet you talk of the current becoming the former as though they ate objects. Peter is human. His being angry is human. His late brother was human. You expect too much.do you ask that much of yourself. Take a step back while alone and ask yourself why you have given up. It is not about mutharika you write. You write about yourself, you seem to be crying out for attention. Get some help, don’t throw away you great potential over emotion.
at your own demise mr president our money making you bang tables we’re not hopless as you think just a matter of time you will be the worst history malawi has ever recorded
