Malawians abroad…your discussions,
Permalink Closed


I am a 24yr old female Malawian currently living in UK, I am proud to say that I am a qualified Barrister and have received the best private education available in Malawi, South Africa and the UK. However, I’m even prouder to tell you that my partner also a Malawian went through the Malawian government education system and he is now a top ranking Investment Banker here in the UK, I assure you PLATO he is not a VILLAGER WHO NEVER MADE IT AND BECAME SOUR as you apparently are. You see it does not matter whether you went to private OR government school, your own personal ambitions, your work ethic and the grace of God are what make a person successful, what makes you successful?. Success to me is being able to give back to my community, I am fortunate that I am able to go to Malawi once a year, I do Pro Bono work for a Lilongwe based Law firm and I have experienced first hand the UDF govt and the changes. Malawi was never ‘robbed’, there are a lot of resources for capital that have never been used, and the people seem more hopeful than they have ever been, there is more freedom of expression and DEMOCRACY, who ever refuses this has not visited Malawi for a very long time and may have wrong perceptions about our ever-developing country. People with relatives abroad (you people) hope and pray everyday that they will see your faces one day, they pray and imagine that you are all taking care of each other and are prosperous be it in the USA, Europe or Asia etc.


I was very surprised but mostly saddened by the majority of the discussions I have read. Instead of congratulating each other’s success, why are we are trying to belittle each other, be it by comparing our education, financial background or our assets. I urge you not to mock the man/woman working 3 jobs to pay the bills, for all you know they are sending half the pay check back home, whereas you have forgotten your Kawale/ Bangwe crew! I urge you continue to dress well, eat well, and live well as is evident in the photos and to take pride in each other and celebrate our Malawi.

Timwele,

FIRST OF ALL I THINK YOU HAVEA SELECTIVE MIND, IF YOU READ MY ENTRY CAREFULLY, THEN YOU WOULD HAVE UNDERSTOOD THAT I WAS JUST LOOKING FOR OLD FRIENDS THAT ATTENDED THE SAME SCHOOLS AS I DID. THE REASON FOR THAT WAS, MOST MALAWIANS AROUND HERE CELEBRATE EACH OTHER'S DOWNFALLS AND WILL GOSSIP ABOUT ANY DEAD COW. YOU ARE PROBABLY IN DENIAL. SECOND OF ALL, I NEVER SAID THAT MALAWI WAS ROBBED, I WAS TRYING TO PASS A POINT TO TUTU WHO HAD MENTIONED THAT IN A PREVIOUS DISCUSSION. GET YOUR FACTS STRAIGHT!!! IF YOU WANT TO COME UP HERE AND PUBLICISE WHAT YOU HAVE ACHIEVED, DO SO WITHOUT USING PLATO'S NAME.......

SO WHAT IF YOU GOT THE BEST PRIVATE EDUCATION, WHO DIDN'T???? SO WHAT IF YOU WORK WITH A LAW FIRM IN MALAWI AND YOUR HUSBAND IS A BILLIONAIRE??? WHAT POINT ARE YOU TRYING TO PROVE HERE??? OBVIOUSLY YOU HAVEN'T MADE YET COZ PEOPLE WHO HAVE DON'T HAVE TO TALK ABOUT IT ON MALAWIANA.NET...LIKE I SAID BEFORE....YOU AIN'T DONALD TRUMP, OR OPRAH.... PLEASE DON'T SHOW OFF!!! I DON'T KNOW IN MALAWI....HERE IN THE WEST, YOU HAVEN'T MADE IT UNTIL YOU MADE IT, AND WHEN YOU DO, YOU DON'T TALK ABOUT YOURSEL, PEOPLE WILL TALK ABOUT YOU... SO TILL NOW....PLEASE TAKE YOU SORRY A.. SOMEWHERE ELSE.... TELL ME SOMETHING I DON'T K

YOU KNOW WHAT THEY SAY..... EMPTY TINS MAKE A LOT OF NOISE???? GET OVER YOURSELF SWEETHEART...

I just want to join hands with the rest of the people who hold the view that Timwele holds the upper hand here.
I have myself resisted the temptation to do a rejoinder on the so called plato's views.

1. He or she tends to think that he is the only one with a superior opinion on everything he contends or makes a submission on. The only fallacy in that I can highlight among other things is that opinions by their very nature are transient i.e they can be either right or wrong.It should make sense then that we should respect each other's opinions.But to come as does our Plato , made of Lilongwe Private School material et al is tantamount to imposing his views on the wider populace and that can not fly.

2.The so called Plato is very vituperative and pejorative.To say the least he makes it an effort to argue with disdain and disrespect.What he forgets is that one can make their point put across by being very polite and achieve the same result by being argumentative.So why be rude then.

David,

NOT TRYING TO BE RUDE AT ALL, I JUST DON'T LIKE IT WHEN PEOPLE CLAIM THEY ARE TRYING TO HELP, WHEN THEY ARE IN FACT TRYING TO DO OTHERWISE....
I SEE WHAT YOUR POINT IS..... AND I AGREE THAT AN EFFECTIVE ARGUEMENT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE PERSONAL... BUT I TOTALLY DIAGREE WITH YOU WHEN YOU SAY THAT "TIMWELE" HOLDS AN UPPER HAND, SHE GOT DOWN AND DIRTY JUST LIKE I DID, SO RIGHT NOW WE ARE BOTH IN THE SAME POSITION.....

SEE I AM ACTUALLY A NICE PERSON, I JUST DON'T LIKE BULLLLLLLLL......... BUT I RESPECT YOUR OPINION, AND I WILL TRY NOT TO BE RUDE.....

Thats a very good spirit you have shown Plato.You see we can agree to disagree without being pejorative and disdainful.In the end there is unity in diversity as it were.

I wont even waste my time with you Zeze.The fact that you allude to where my parents come from shows that you are a tribalist.You will not be aloud to make us feel like strangers in our own land.I am a very proud son of BOLERO and have never regretted my roots.

I have never aspired to sound like wachitauni.All I wrote are just figures of speech.At the end of the day when you know you know.Its plain as that.
