Nuru, Sachiwe Mushimbami 


My daughter’s third birthday was on the 23rd of August 2023. This girl has been through a lot. Before she was born, I asked the Lord for a girl as my firstborn and he granted me. I wanted a girl because we lost two sisters in our families and girls were fewer than men. I named her Nuru, a Swahili name that means light of Christ. My prayer is that she will be a light to those in darkness. She will shine the light of Christ for the world to see. Her other name is Sachiwe, which means the generosity of God or God who gives generously. God gave me this girl generously and she will also grow up to show the generosity of God, her creator. Happy third birthday, my girl. You are a blessing and a joy to us. We wished you on Facebook on the actual date, but I’m now recording this on my website today.

Birthday Gift

Impact of Social Media on us by Victor Mushimbami

  Impact of Social Media  Pexels-photo     Social media is becoming a normal part of our lives. It has been observed that “90 percent of American teenagers use social media and the average teen spends more than five hours daily on social media” (Burke and Pruszynski, 2022, Social media). By “social media”, we mean platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, YouTube, TikTok, etc. More are still being created. I deleted my TikTok account because I had no choice on what to watch and everyone was dancing! (Burke and Pruszynski, 2022). We are grateful to the social media creators because social media connects us with people from different parts of the world, enabling us to collaborate and appreciate diversity. We can also communicate easily with family and friends who are far away from us. For example, my two sisters, Kezia and Prisca Mushimbami, are out of Africa in the far western world, but we can talk to them as if they are nearby and we can also discuss family issues. However, so

There is more to life than being happy by: Victor Mushimbami

We hear people say that happiness comes from success, a good job, a good marriage, or a good partner. This leads us to pursue these things, hoping that they will make us happy. Some of us even idealize a perfect person who will fulfill all our desires. (Esfahani, 2017). But is this really the best way to live? After doing some research and listening to health professionals, I learned that what we think will make us happy can actually make us anxious. I have seen this happen to many people around me. The question is, what truly makes us happy? Psychological studies suggest that chasing happiness can backfire. Have you noticed that suicide rates in Zambia have increased? This is not only a problem in Zambia,

NO NATION CAN DEVELOP THROUGH MORAL DECAY BY ALLAN MUFWANA

The Constitution represents the common and shared values under which a nation agrees to govern itself and any citizen or foreigner who goes against the Constitution of the land goes against the agreed and shared values of that nation and breaks the law.     Zambia is a sovereign nation governed through the Constitution. No one is above the Constitution. We are One Nation One Zambia. It's against this background that any activities or behavior that goes against the common and agreed shared values of the nation should be condemned in the strongest terms possible and the law applied rightfully to deter immoral conduct.    It's a known fact that Zambia is a Christian nation as enshrined in he
