Presenting my curated list of 10 essential books every Malawian should read. These works should be compulsory in secondary education to combat ignorance and foster intellectual growth. Ensuring our youth are well-read is crucial for a knowledgeable and humble nation. 📚 #Malawi

Ku #Malawi kuno, this should be our daily prayer

This is about South Africa but he might as well be talking about #Malawi. 30 wasted years and nothing to show for it

Sugar prices in #Malawi are 85% above the regional average, says @COMESA_HQ. Meanwhile, @Illovosugarmw reports a 210% jump in profits last year. Consumers are paying through the nose. Profits are through the roof. Dear #Malawi, this maths isn’t even hiding. 🍬📈 – at Malawi

If #Malawi isn’t a joke of a nation, then explain this one. Sean and his fellow clowns around @LAZARUSCHAKWERA tried to sell us a $5.8 BILLION “development” funding deal from Bridgin Foundation. At K4,000/$, that’s K23.6 TRILLION. Yes, trillion. With a T. – at Republic of Mozambique

I come from ab era where hip-hop was poetry in motion: "Dzina kanga ndine nkhawa, sichibwibwi koma style yanga.." – at Republic of Mozambique

Malawi is a mafia state with government offices. Cashgate Mafia. Sattar Mafia. Tender Mafia. Fuel Mafia. Fertilizer Mafia. Medical Drugs Mafia. Forex Mafia. Allowance Mafia. Everywhere you look, someone has turned a public institution into a private enterprise. #Malawi – at Malawi

If the Bible is the only book your pastor reads, my friend, start looking for the exit. You need a shepherd with a library, not one with a single book and a microphone. 😏 – at Malawi

Anyone noticed how shittier Airtel & TNM services have become since Daud left - or was kicked out of - @MACRAMALAWI? The regulator has become a lame duck. These days, it’s almost a miracle to get through a full day without either network behaving like a vimbuza dancer. Mxiiii. 😒 – at Malawi

Let the stoics say what they please, we do not eat for the good of living, but because the meat is savory and the appetite is keen. - Ralph Waldo Emerson – at Malawi

I said it back then and I'll say it again. The Illala is a tragedy waiting to happen. – at Rwanda

Malawi has a population of roughly 24 million people. Our total sovereign debt, domestic and external, is around K24 trillion. That’s roughly K1 million in debt per Malawian. Do the maths. 🤔 And then ask yourself: who borrowed it, where did it go, and who gets to pay it back?

Recently, I hosted a friend visiting from Kenya. One day, I drove him around Lilongwe to give him the grand city tour. About an hour in, he looked around and asked, rather innocently: “Is there a ban on buildings taller than three storeys here?” I had no answer. – at Rwanda

Happy 74th Birthday to the legendary Linton Kwesi Johnson (LKJ). From “Dread Beat An’ Blood” and “Sonny’s Lettah” to “Inglan Is a Bitch” and the classic Bass Culture, his words and music have left a lasting mark on reggae culture and beyond. Big respect to the dub poet pioneer.
