Zambian professor: "We are all intelligent Zambians...problem is that most of us don’t think abstractly, comprehend complex ideas, learn quickly and learn from experience." Pray tell, my dear professor, what does intelligence mean to you?

Haha, apparently there are some jokes about Zambians by White Africans:

Zebo is a Zambian orphan who has to walk 5 miles to school each day.

With your help of just £2 a month, we can buy a whip to make the lazy black bastard run!

  • FIFA President Sepp Blatter congratulated the Zambian football team on their triumphant return from the African Cup of Nations. At the conference he said:

"The African Cup of Nations is not about winning, because there are no winners here. You are all niggers at the end of the day."

After the customary podium handshake, all was forgotten.

In the aftermath of the Zambian elections, I saw a newspaper headline proclaiming that the Zambian electorate 'had voted with their feet'.

Not sure why that's newsworthy. If they can use them to peel and eat bananas, voting shouldn't have proved a challenge at all.

Apparently the ZDF (Zambian Defense Force)'s main battle tank and shining star of their military is a battalion of 25 T-54's, a Soviet tank designed in 1945 as an upgraded version of the T-34, first designed in 1937.

Despite being shown, built, and handed world-leading technology, and abundant natural resources, 68% of the population and 78% of the rural population live below the national poverty line. In developed countries, the numbers would be closer to 98, and 99.9972% of native Zambians.

Zambia ranks 117th out of 128 countries on the Global Competitiveness Index, which ranks economic growth. Life expectancy, at 40, continues to decline, as does maternal deaths during births. The explosive birth rate outpaces the economic growth rate, and is further strained by a rampant AIDS/HIV epidemic despite vast international medical assistance.

World Bank loans have been consistently defaulted upon, as public employees tend to swallow up and spend all the money funneled into the country immediately on personal merchandise. Zambia qualified for the Highly Indebted Poor Country Initiative, and the money aid for development once again promptly disappeared into the hands of public officials with suspiciously flashy clothing and cars, which quickly broke down and became useless with almost no mechanics in the country other than Chinese immigrants.

Zambeef Products Ltd. is the leading agri-business and its CEO Francis Grogan won Entrepreneuer of the Year in 2013, despite Grogan being a European male, .05% of the population.

Zambia is frequently flooded with Congolese and Zimbabwean refugees from even worse bordering post-colonial regimes.
