As you consider who to marry,
Don’t marry a hunter, so you are not his prey.Don’t marry a scavenger, so he will not turn your life into desolation.Marry a gardener, so he can nurture you into a beautiful flower.
The gardener does not always come looking tall, rich and handsome.

Too sad for words. I fear most African countries don’t read the fine lines of the contracts they sign. This has always bothered me. There is a need for our country to review all that has been signed on our behalf and do the needful.
Zambia is defaulting on it's loans with China and now China is set to take over the national power utility ZESCO. More Zambian national companies will have to be handed over to China if they continue defaulting. What I am saying is, Zambia is now an officially CHINESE PROPERTY.

One rich man in the middle of multitudes of poor people is really a poor man. “ A jo je, lo dun”
In a country where millions of people are poor and in penury, it is never enough for you to be successful, you’ve got to be committed to lifting others. That for me is the real success.

I have spent the last 30 years building The Chair Centre Group, which includes Sokoa Chair Centre, a joint Venture with the Largest office furniture group in France.
To see the seed of entrepreneurship which I started in my youth, survive all the many seasons is a real joy!
