Measure your excitement from the achievement from the resolutions you made last year round about this time. If you never archived any of them, then you may have wasted a year, altogether. If you archived other positive results besides your resolution/goals then be glad that 2003 came with some opportunity and luck for you. This doesn't happen all the time and don't gamble the same will happen this year again.
This year will very much feel new if you can look back to 2003 and take a sigh before comfortably saying that you; -
- made more new friends and reduced on your enemies
- took a moment to go visit the sick at hospital
- took their hand and smiled and laughed with them as you made friends with someone you are aware that they are HIV positive
- better the lives of the poor by doing something good like donating clothes or food stuff to them or something of that nature.
- changed and let go of a habit deemed as bad by people around you, like your friends or/and family
- said more prayers to God in 2003 than in 2002
- helped a needy person at the cost of your time or money
So, my friend, let's make this year a loving one. Let's protects our lives against contracting HIV/AIDS and protecting against losing our love for those already infected. Let's increase the campaign for preventive measures against increasing the risk of contracting this disease and also increase our love and care for those already infected.
I love you all!!!
"In the abundance of awareness and positive living, let love lead the way…."

Everyone has been affected by this pandemic. Many knew and few celebrated. Less have gone for an AIDS test. Are you among the few? It’s only a good step for you to start living a positive life whether you are positive or negative. Look at this; if you find yourself positive, you can always take better steps such as changing your sexual behaviour or indeed guarding against getting those loved ones near you contaminated by exchange of used needles or razor blades or being careful when treating ones’ sore. You can further adopt a better eating diet and take more immune boosting food stuff and medicines such as ARV which can help prolong your life, more than if you had ignored.
If you are negative then life may equally call for some precautious measures. You will need to guard jealously against any times or moments that may increase your chances of contracting the virus. I would suggest you abstain from sex until you go for another test with your would-be wife before you can get married and fully enjoy yourselves without “fear or favour” in marriage. If get under pressure and want to defy abstinence then carefully use a condom but remember that the condom is just a balloon that can bust any time and once this happens the whole moment of pleasure would plunge you into a turmoil of thoughts, ‘that you may be a new host of some of the Aids virus’. However being negative can help you make long plans like studying for a second degree instead of continuously working.
So my friend be the change and courageously get that AIDS test. I will be going for my third test next week!

I am saying that you the biggest determinant of your own success. I am not yet that successful and I not going to advise entirely from my own experience but from what I have come to learn in life and probably from other people#8217;s lives as well. I do state time and again that life is a learning process that starts when you are born. Your syllabus ceases of course you die. Even the old folks are learning as well!
I have been to high school and now I am almost done with my degree at university. Whilst at high school I never used to study that much as I, with my other colleagues, believed that we were intelligent enough to pass exams upon quick perusing of notes. Thank God I passed with an inch as my colleagues failed with an inch! Whilst a 1st year student at university, I learnt from my young experience at high school and worked extremely hard enough to get to study Mechanical Engineering.
Now what#8217;s the story? Thing is#8230;. you hold what you want to be in life. I have seen people rise whilst others fall down at higher speeds that they rose with. Funny enough, people only smile and tend to hang around with those risen or those tending to rise. Everyone loves and enjoys good living and nowadays this is closely associated with having a lot of money or earning a lot of money. Once people realise that you got the bucks they will come running like doors for heaven are open for free! You will even see new faces accurately calling your highly revised name.
So what is it that you can do to find yourself in a better compromised situation? First let#8217;s agree that good living is good and am talking about being able to get what you want when you need. Being able to pay for and take your children to better school you never went to. Being able to drive vehicles you only used admire when you were growing up. Being able to support others who need you financial help when you might have struggled to get school fees when you were at school. Being able to have a good wife or husband and children, all smiling because daddy or mummy loves them. Basically being able to solve many of yours and other peoples problems financially and socially. This is what I call being successful.
This is not easy to do but it#8217;s possible. What then can you do to attain this stature?
- Know what you want and see if you really can get it e.g. your career
- Do not be influenced by your friends to diverge off your goals, but listen to their opinions. They may have seen something in you which you never saw in yourself and could be of help to you.
- Convince yourself that sweat now is better with sweet later and not the other way round. Realise that the little moneys you are busy entertaining your friends with is because of someone else#8217;s hard working and mainly not yours.
- When you feel lazy to study remember to tell yourself that the payoff is #8216;failure and ultimate poverty with few friends#8217;.
- Don#8217;t do drugs or indulge yourself in promiscuity. These can cut short your life and no matter how intelligent you are, you won#8217;t reach the shore of success
- Find a partner who is determined to work hard and make it in life. together you will encourage each other and work in the positive way for your mutual benefit
- Remember once you get your good education and a good paper say degree, no one can get it from you, not even thieves! It#8217;s all up in the heard! Rather everyone will come all wanting to get you so that you can work for them.

They have no clue how hard life was for the fore fathers of the nation to bring peace to days state.
Even though the day has past I would love to say that Zambia has been a peaceful nation and it is a peaceful nation to date. No wander many visitors opt to stay forever when they come from around Africa or overseas. Somewhat, this is what I value the most and how I wish everyone out there was living in peace. I am glad that even as I look forward to this coming year as being a much more successful one, for the nation, I can see most Zambian learning to be self reliant and entrepreneurs. This, probably arising out of the drastic effect of the IMF and World Bank policies that sucked the economic and industrial strength of Zambia after sending many companies to close and workers thrown jobless.
Well at least these people are living in peace and I can only hope for a better tomorrow.

With multiple influx of computer and spreading of the Internet to the globally community, the youth have taken a leading role in this aspect, of course this being my opinion. Politicians, church leaders and several other sectors of life have always identified the youth as the leaders of tomorrow. Looking at my home scenario, you will find the majority positions related to ICTs being captured by a span of youth in work places. The old folks have taken a lazy step in learning more about the new computer in their offices. Most of what they do is type their emails and do their reports in Microsoft word. The may go a step further by browsing on a website of specific interest to them. Others cross the road and go browsing on pornographic website as they lock themselves in their offices. Corporations and institutions have had to put measures to prevent the search for nudity on the net.
Where there is a computer there ought to be a youth! The youth are everywhere on the networks. They have taken storm of the Internet and proving their superiority. At several times news has been made by the unscrupulous hackers as young as teens penetrating the most secure networks. The youth spend extra time trying to learn something new. They explore everything that comes along including new software. They on the look out for advancements in both open market and licensed software. The young have taken task of doing as much hardware work as possible. SchoolNet Namibia, which refurbishes computers and provides Internet services to schools, is one good example with the youth at the core of a computer and Internet based organisation. Here in Zambia you will find the majority of youth at ICT workshops and conferences. The youth have set up computer repair shops and they have become entrepreneurs. They maintain many 'local area networks' and are breaking and assembling computers. The young are always packed in business centres browsing the net until their financial resources cannot allow. It's the youth that will attend the new computer courses and it's the youth in Zambia that will tell you about the latest software released.
Youth are really the leaders of today in ICTs!

1. Always admit to a mistake you make be it accidental or unexpected. Start by saying sorry and see whether you can help re-address to a correct way. This can be: -
• You are absent minded and bump into someone after which they drop what they may have been carrying! Say sorry and help pick up what has dropped. Be hopeful that what ever dropped is not broken or damaged because the situation may stink. Just remain apologetic and calmer. Remember you want to get out of the mess as soon as possible.
• You thought you heard her or him say come and there you go! With the door open you find them dressing or partly naked and they respond by screaming as they fidget in search of something to cover themselves with. Take your face off and say sorry as you close yourself out the room.
• You wave at or say hi to the wrong person. Some people like me have a common face. I was given a hug by some fellow who called me wrong names afterwards. He met some one else not even my twin brother if I had one. He however was quick to apologise upon realising that I remained astonished and never had any slight idea about what he was talking about.
2. Stay in a queue or give up and try being early the next time! Don’t even think of cutting in! Everyone has his or her precious time and energy, which they hope to reserve by spending as little time as possible on that queue.
3. If you are driving always make use of traffic rules or give signs correctly. Road sings are there to help you and as road users you can help each other by exercising patiency with correct use of the road. More than half of the road accidents are due to careless use of the road including not observing traffic rules.
4. Contribute to a discussion only if you know or are sure about what you are talking about. Exposing your ignorance will just bring down your dignity which is not easy to build. And when you have to make an objection, make sure you back it up with a fact. Try and have an alternative to a point you disagree to. That way you will not be seen only as a critic.
5. Curry a hunk all the time. This comes in handy at several situations including wiping off your oily face after some strenuous work. When you have a flue, you are seen as being tidy when you excuse yourself and take a blow of your nose, of coarse not too close to someone.
6. Be warm and greet even strangers with a smile at a special gathering or conference. That way you make it easier for yourself if you may need to talk to them later. If possible ask them about where they may be from and get to know bit of background.
7. Don’t always be right!! or give excuses or explanations but instead learn to give chance and listen to what others have to say. No one knows everything and you may just be learning something new!
8. Like we all once learnt at nursery school, always use pedestrian crossing. There, you are assured of reaping some money in case some driver hits you, of course only if you don’t die!
9. Be helpful to someone seeking some help. Give them directions if they are lost or help them with some money if they have been genuinely robed. Remember you never know what tomorrow brings and you may just feature as the next victim more entrenched than that person requesting.
10. Throw litter only in litterbins and pits. Many cities especially in Africa could have been much cleaner if only many could be take this. Instead of flowers blooming papers and plastics dominate as facial city make-ups of city centres as can be evidenced when a whirlwind comes around. Look around your community or city and see whether you can come up with a “Keep The City Clean Campaign” and you can start up by donating more litterbins or doing some cleaning routines after arranging with your local municipals councils.

In some countries this is a crime and you can be arrested and fined if not jailed for it.
· Don’t spit in public. I stopped when my sputum landed on my neighbour’s chick, a floor under my university apartment. Instantly I requested him to come and cut off my neck if he so desired. I was lucky though as he brushed the saliva and the issue itself aside as he was a close friend of mine.
· Sneezing and blowing of noses is normally allowed but you should mind your ‘neighbours’. They are not part of you! Imagine you just had your tasty pizza and you get on the bus for home. Before the engine roles I get on and I sit next to you. Seconds later I blow my nose like its trumpet in an orchestra! …and by the way never use tissue when blowing your nose. Its small dusty particles may just perpetuate your flue.
· Never ignore the presence of elders in public. In fact respect them; give them a sit if they you find yourself sitted whilst they are made to stand and if you are a guy give that sit to a lady too! Never speak to elders with those hands in your pockets. Give them the due respect they desire at all times, weather they are strangers or familiar persons to you. Most religions prescribe this code of conduct am you should find it to understand.
· Don’t shout in public. The public belongs to all of us and should therefore be respected. Drunkards’ are good and usually take undue advantage. Whistling is not advised, as it is an imitation of shouting. But feel free to shout or whistle at the stipulated places like sports grounds!
· Never cut in on queues, were people are have to be served. Everyone is human and all need that extra time you are squeezing in front for. In fact cutting-in is an infringement of someone else’s right, at least according to me.
· Don’t through rubbish in public. Find a garbage-disposing place or curry that dirt with to your bin or ditch at home. That way you will not contribute to pollution, which is a threat to the environment.
· Never cut your nails in public. What gathers under your fingernails leaves much to be desired and no one is interested in seeing you pocking that and the umbrella nails.
· Never take off your shoes if they smell, in public. That pungent smell from the stocking is probably bad for one with Bronchitis or indeed any other persons.
· Fatting in public is the most embarrassing thing one would what to remember you about. Bad smells are so irritating to others next to you and although ‘fats’ are colourless they have a high gluing tendency in people’ minds anmd you will surely be remembered.

My heart went past normal and the first impression I had was someone has been hit! I walked close to the crowd and realized that something else was happening, kids were leaving with plates whitened by potions of Inshima (Staple food). Laughters and not cries were coming from the scene. Two white guys decided it was time they shared a moment to see others have a different night, probably by having a descent meal for supper. I was humble and overwhelmed by their rare gesture and could not just pass by without commending them. I believe we would few and impoverished street kids if we can emulate these two white guys and if all of us, beginning with all those confined behind those tall wall fenced mansions and those driving the latest model of cars their eyes see and even those who spend money lavishly, would come to dedicate a day for themselves to share a smile with the unfortunate street persons by sharing some food or even clothes with them.
More better is a programme that would be dedicated towards a glance on Young Street persons especially in hush seasons of the year. Mean time let me go and think about how can be done and if you have any add up please fill me in.
Lets work had in helping each other especially were circumstances ware unforeseen.

The only path to his little shop negotiates a pond of water and one has to be careful when using it.
Fate caught up with me on this day as the skies suddenly got dack with Nimbus rainy clouds. I new it would start raining and I quickly hurried to reach my friends place. Like I was talking to the rains I successfully made it before it started pouring in gallons. After having a worthwhile chart with my pal I started off for town to pursue the remaining day. Back via the only path I found it impassable but with beautifully raised stones aligned at intervals leading from one end of the flooded portion to the other. “How cool….” I told myself. Alas, before I could set my foot on the first stone I was suddenly stopped by this comrade, who demanded for a K200 (USD0.04) before I could continue my way!!, “am charging everyone using this route unless you pay, to use my path or else get down and go through the water itself” he continued. I smilingly pulled out and handed over two notes amounting to his demands before I tracked down this ‘new’ path. I know this guy had no rights (Official Papers) to his new business neither did have any ‘path ownership papers’. Even though I just had to succumb to his demands to make my way I learnt one lesson though; Life is all about being innovative whilst looking around for opportunities. Any situation, be it the rainy season or hot season or whatever, has some potential to providing some form opportunity. What remains is the challenge for us to keep our eyes open even as we look out for an opening, later on utilizing it them fully.

As a world were not one but many people live, I believe there is cause for us to appreciate each other in one or the other someday and February the 14th is it. For those in love this a time to get to show your honeys just how much you appreciate them in your lives. One this day get to extend all means and forms of messages to let them know how they mean the world to you. You don’t need all the moneys to show your love. A mere thought or a simple artistic and creative feature can make wonders for that day. If you broke up and intend to get back to each other, this is the time!! And if you quarreled or pieced each other off, valentines is there to brush all that off. To those that are single, there is always someone next to you to appreciate. Try your mum, your pastor or if you feel very orphaned you can always adopt a street kid as your valentine. Drop a flower or so and make someone else on earth feel appreciated. Wish you all the loving!!!

I remember at the time when the pandemic took up pace, an AIDS VICTIM was a rear view to encounter and now it’s the common thing of the day. Most deaths are as a result of the deadly virus. Funerals would last a week or so those days in the 70 and 80 when most of us were still kids. But now two to four days is enough as the cost involved during funerals is so high. In most Zambian set up food stuff and other incentives are provided for at a funeral house. People travel from their villages and other far away places to pay their last respect to the deceased. Transport has to be organised for them to get back and as a result funerals cost more than a fortune. How ever, deaths today, in families are a concurrent issue and to serve on costs many have resorted to staging funeral ceremonies in fewer days as possible. As soon as the presence of parents and a few elders to the deceased is acknowledged is a clear significance of concluding such a sad moment.
In the past, parents even as they grew older expected their children to look after them after they finished college and got themselves jobs. These new adults were also expected to help their young brothers and sisters, pull through the final stages of school before they too could be fully ushered into society. Unfortunately it’s the same parents that are now burying their children. In fact these parents are even left with their children’s’ sons and daughters. Most of these grandies don’t even work and have depleted energies for them to manage farming to sustain not only their lives but that of their grand children as well.
More saddening is the growing sex industry propagated by poverty especially in Africa. The few ‘employees’ I’ve asked clearly spelled out to me that they would rather die in years with Aids rather than hunger in days. As though that is not enough most of the informed most of whom even leave good families at their homes still take up to the streets to serve as clients to this industry. They don’t even measure the risk of such an adventure even after losing one or two of their family members to the deadly virus, before.
Moral decay and lucky of focused responsibility mixed with impatience, is what most of us the youth of today are lucking. A little effort made by all us can make a big difference, when all is put together. My first republican President, Dr. Kenneth Kaunda, is several 82 years old but is still constantly telling everyone, on TV, without fear or favor, to use a condom every time they have sex or at least abstain till they are married. We the youth, especially in Africa should realise that we are the leaders of tomorrow and we will only lead if at we take good care of ourselves.
Economies are performing badly not only because of poor policies but because of lose of large workforce to the virus. If you and I can realize that the future needs us to lead the way for our children and even for our selves then time is now to start a massive preparation. Carrying massive continuous community campaigns on this cause would add to the effort.
AIDS has changed lives because we have let to do so. Are we going to let it continue doing so?

Recent and constant build up of military presence in and around Iraq clearly draws the possibility of war much to reality. Even as the UN inspectors continue their search for traces of weapons of mass distraction and the like, I strongly believe that Saddam will soon come under attack.
Much debate on this Gulf situation has already been on a number of tabletops in an effort to justify bombing Iraq as a means of disarming Baghdad. Unfortunately few if not none have intensively talked about the poor and voiceless Iraq people who will be direct casualties of their fate. One thing I must state is that the US and its allies or UN per say will not harm Saddam as such. The man will just lose his job as a president. Infact he is already rich and has wealth all round the world. He will simply fly off Iraq as soon as the first attack is initiated. Poor Iraqis who cannot even afford a balanced diet and are probably struglying to earn a living will instead suffer the consequences.
A number of poor people are bound to have their lives disturbed even as the US and its allies may proclaim Victory at the end of it all. Every day conferences and workshops are being held in order to fetch for better means of alleviating poverty and sustaining poor people’s lives. What then will this reflect to the all the efforts that have been and are currently being put forward to ease life around the world? In as much as I may be suspicious about the whole Gulf situation I strongly believe that we can still draw up better means to tackling problems and conflicts such as the Israel Palestine and those seen in the Balkans. What I don’t like my self is the aspect of using guns and bombs whose bullets and targets respectively go astray in harming and killing innocent ones who are needy people in most cases. May be we should get the UN to design more rules that can instantly bring a leader of a nation to book if at all they go against any globally agreed treaty. This should be followed by stern measures like freezing their accounts and/or restricting their movements rather than resorting to brutal and life distracting means such as sanctions that hit most on the choice less poor.

Only behind me sat this guy who, with the freedom of speech and expression in Zambia over rod the prevailing silence in the bus and took the attention of everyone on this bus. It was common sense for everyone to notice that this guy was actually drunk, may be not too drunk as he was yelling, talking and singing loudly aboard. We normally submit fares about USD 00.30 on average and at the most per person. Trouble started when this drunk claimed to have lost a five thousand Kwacha note(worth almost a US Dollar) right in the bus. He could not hesitate in accusing those sited close to him as immediate pilfers. He yelled out in demand for the lost cash and automatically scared the weak ones near him. He plucked his pockets in anguish removing all days’ remaining little earnings. After pulling out all sorts of gadgets from his belongings he finally came across his “lost” cash. You should have seen his face transform from this enraged savage to one resemble a winning lottery punter, for he was now certain that his supper was going to real thing. Less than a dollar claimed lost in the bus was a reason for this hive of activity!!! My other TIG colleague, upon dropping g off the bus, lamented the brutal facts of life that even led a brother beat to death his fellow brother over a peace of meat. BFOL why some husbands are beginning to count the number of chicken pieces in pots in the kitchen. BFOL why people resort to eating roots and wild fruits to live on. These are but in the chain of brutal facts of life. You may be having an opportunity in life right now and you may not seem to realise just how valuable it may be until certain brutal facts of life catch up with you. You can evade some extreme ends in life by working harder for now and by the way hard work is only possible with a bit of some sacrifice. The drunken brother above was ready to tear up people in the bus for a dollar, his final days’ savior to his hunger state. Take time to review and even cost what is round you at least once a week, as this would help you get restored on your focus. Just don’t take anything for granted in life lest you get visited by brutal facts of life.
