Our Zambian friends think of us Malawians as being both stupid and naive,they think we as so dumb that it will take a miracle for a malawian to do something worth mentioning.They have a website www.thezambian.com where most of the jokes they make are about us people from malawi.is this fair or we need to take them at their own game?Below are some of the jokes that are on the website relating to Malawian"stupidity"(most of these jokes are almost a year old)
Question:
What's equally as stupid as a Malawian ?
Answer:
His reflection in the crocodile infested river he is swimming in !
Malawi Logic ?
Question:
Why do Malawi restaurants always have empty milk cartons in their fridges ?
Answer:
In case any tourists from India want black coffee !
Two Malawians were building a house in Lilongwe :
One saw that the other was going into his pouch and throwing every other nail out. he thought that this was weird and decided to look into.
"Why do you keep throwing every other nail away my friend ?"
"Well, when I pull one out of my pouch, and it is facing towards the house, I nail it it. If it is facing away from the House, it is defective and I throw it away."
"Hey Mwana hey, are you an idiot? Those nails aren''t defective, they are for the other side of the house."
One for the road ?
A Chipata man and a Malawian guy are driving opposite directions on a curvy road near the Kafue escarpment.
The Chipata man hits a patch of sand, swerves, and bashes the Malawian's truck.
They both exit their cars with no injuries, but their vehicles are totally buggered ! Now, the rivalry between Chipata people and Malawian citizens is well known in Zambia, so needless to say a heated argument followed...... Then suddenly the Chipata chap changed heart and said, "Hey Mwana hey, this is so stupid my friend, as we are almost neighbours. It was an accident. Let''s put this rivalry behind us."
The Malawi man agreed this was a good idea. So the Chipata Chap offered, "Why don''t we celebrate our new friendship with this promotional 5 litre size carton of Chibuku shake shake Mwana ? I have one in the truck."
The Malawian man thought this was an excellent idea.....
So the Chipata chap, being a gentleman, offered the Malawian man the first drink, and told him to drink as much as he wanted. Soon half the 5 litre carton was gone and he offered it back to the Chipata chap who said, "No thanks my friend, I''ll wait till after the Zambian Police get here !"

we have to beat them at their own game. Forum members load up your ammo...its time to go to war. We need to infiltrate their website and make fun of them on their own website.

I agree with you lads. We need to show them that we are better off than them. I have also seen the website. It is a total disgrace to Malawians. Zambians are our puppets where im staying. This is the time for Malawians to put on the armour of war and an end to their arrogance. Just wait and see.
Coun't me in. But let's not waist our time here discussing these idiots on malawiana. We need to deal with them on thier site so lets go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. That's crossing the line.
Trust you lot to have a gung-ho, let's go get 'em, I'm up for it attitude to picking up fights. What exactly are we fighting about? When someone below you insults you the best way to deal with them is to ignore them. Trust me it is more potent than pointless wrangling. Malawi is a better country by far, economically and otherwise. Better school, government and everything else.
What's the point arguing with them. If they dedicate their time insulting Malawians it only means they feel; rightfully so, inferior to us.
Went on the Zambian forum myself and come on lets admit it - some of the Malawian jokes r pretty funny LOL! But ya lets get back at these zambians. Even where i am these Zambians are so inferior 2 us i wonder wot gives them de guts to ridicule us on their webpage.So how do we go about it??????? Cos most of the jokes on the forum are really old which means if we also post on the same topic only a few will see -and we dont want that do we?. Unleass we start a new topic entirely. I dont know, wot do u guys think?

Aw come on grow up you people. Don't you think your time would be better spent coming up with IDEAS to improve Africa as a whole instead of arguing with some Zambian blog. The internet is a free place, if you don't like something said about you on a website, don't visit it. Besides there's so much more interesting, positive stuff on the net, not to forget loads of pornography....

If some stupid ass Zambians are gonna step up and diss us we ain't just gonna lay down and let them stomp on us like that. Whats wrong with you man, I hope you aint this other dude [because of your alias] that I know we used to call him "Khezzo" when we was at Phwezi a long time ago, but I doubt it, he wasn't a pu**y. This is jus' the net son, you can do what ever you wanna do. And guess what? We are goin' to get the war to them wether you try to talk sense into us or not, actually after posting am going on their website and start somethin'. Zambians aint gat sh*t on us!!!!
Well good luck. I know it wouldn't solve anything. Maybe 'cause there's nothing to be solved. I guess it takes a different level of mind to ignore people who are less than worth ones time even if they insult and ridicule you. If it will make you guys feel any better then go on and retaliate. But remember common sense is always at its lowest point before any conflict...
Here's a joke about Zambia I heard a while ago: You know how weak the Zambian kwacha is right? A Zambian dude went to the pub one saturday as he usually did every week. He needed so much cash he had to carry it in a suitcase (they don't sell wallets in Zambia they sell suitcases). He starts to play pool with his friends and gets really lucky and wins a lot of bet money (he's a terrible pool player but this time he was on a serious winning streak). Because of this, when he was leaving, he had substantially more money than he came with. So much his friends lent him a wheel-barrow to carry his cash in. On his way back home, the guy gets robbed. The robbers took the wheel-barrow. And left the cash!

Tongue-in-cheek, those were some pretty good jokes about us there.
I remember when i was in College in Zim before their economy went belly up, some maShona zezurus were dissing Malawians. I have a good sense of humour but one insult got the better of my self-control and they discovered that Malawians have fists too! Strong ones!
Ati two Malawians decided to follow the road to South Africa and work in the mines. So every night before they slept they would take off their shoes and point them in the direction of South Africa so they would know which way to continue the next day. So some Zimbabweans find the Malawians sleeping and point their shoes in the wrong direction (back where they came from). After many days of walking the Malawians enter Blantyre and are amazed to find people speaking Chichewa in South Africa and buildings that look the same.
This diss loses most of its edge when translated but believe me in the original Shona it was some painful shyt.
World War 3 broke out and people watched their tongues after that around me. I don't start fights... I just finish 'em.
It's good to see Malawians sticking together for once.
I worked in Zambia for a bit too and had my fill of their uppishness. "We speak the best English in Africa" "Chichewa sounds so silly, it's nothing like Chinyanja".
Y'all got backup, are we doin' this or what?
All in good faith though, let's always remember that these borders came from the White man's scramble for Africa... Zambians are our brothers and sisters. All the more reason we can freely insult each other and turn the air blue!

Paudah_Paf,
I like this one.I ndeed some of the jokes that the Zambians made especially the one involving a chipata man and the malawian in an incident is hilarious.

Sadly enough you can't create an account on their website, I tried, they have closed their sh*t, coz they have a lot of registered members. So that means if anything we jus' have to diss them right herrrrrrre!!
Medical Advancement in Zambia An Israeli doctor says: "Medicine in my country is so advanced that we can take a kidney out of one man, put it in another, and have him looking for work in six weeks."
A British doctor says: "That is nothing, we can take a lung out of one person, put it in another, and have him looking for work in four weeks."
A Canadian doctor says: "In my country, medicine is so advanced that we can take half a heart out of one person, put it in another, and have them both looking for work in two weeks."
A Zambian doctor, not to be outdone, says: "You guys are way behind we just took a man with no brain, made him President, and now half the country is looking for work."

After digging to a depth of 100 metres last year, Russian scientists found traces of copper wire dating back 1000 years, and came to the conclusion that their ancestors already had a telephone network one thousand years ago.
So, not to be outdone, in the weeks that followed, American scientists dug 200 metres and headlines in the US papers read:
"US scientists have found traces of 2000 year old optical fibre, and have concluded that their ancestors already had advanced high-tech digital telephone 1000 years earlier than the Russians."
One week later, the Zambian newspapers reported the following:
"After digging as deep as 500 metres, Zambian scientists have found absolutely nothing. They have concluded that 5000 years ago, their ancestors were already using wireless technology."
