QFM
“Mr. Mumba said being mad is not an insult but a simple term that means not doing things in the right way.”
Could Mr. Mumba kindly provide us with the source of this definition. The definitions I found define mad as;
– huffy
– brain-sick
– delirious
– harebrained
Source: wordnetweb dot princeton dot edu / perl / webwn
It would be lovely if we could know where he got that definition from.
being
– huffy
– brain-sick
– delirious
– harebrained
is not an insult,its a state of mind
Being described as “Mad” is not an insult.
Look at it this way you simple MMD cadres.
When you say someone is acting strange you say he/she is MAD.
When your government does things that make no sense you say they are Mad or Crazy for taking those actions.
When the government tries to bar one person from the elections people say its MAD to do it.
What other words can you use if not Mad and Crazy?
Maybe
LAME (President)
USELESS(President)
IGNORANT(President)
BIASED(President)
TRIBALIST(President)
ANARCHIST(President)
Maybe MAD is just too simple kind of word to use.

Mr Mumba is correct in his own right,lets not dwell much on correcting gramatical mistakes/difinitions.May i remind you that using defamatory remarks is the trend in
our modern politics as long as someone is not crossing line with their usage.There’s
wrong with politicians being sarcastic to one another as long as they preserve peace
tranquility in the long run.Unlike,in our country,in developed countries politics are like a
battle of the wits and it is really captivating.
@ #3 Capitalist ***
I challenge you to read through my post on #1 and provide me with a quote where I said mad is an insult.
All I did was ask where Mr. Mumba got the definition from. There is nothing wrong with that. I did it because I would like to contrast and compare (if that makes sense) with my definitions which I got from wordnetweb.
Provide evidence of me saying mad is an insult on this thread.
Dr Mumba what happened? did RB and his puppets forget to pay up?. They don’t realise you’ve got a family to feed and rentals to sort out.
Calling you a headless chicken is not the same as calling you mad. Mad is an extreme word. But Nawakwi and Mumba are right to note that the Govt seems to be clueless as what is happening on the ground. Everyone is just looking at the nice figures coming from BoZ and CSO without so much as bothering how this translates into the lives of the ordinary citizens. The President has gone on an international rampage of visits because he has been misled to think that the national purse can afford it!
Ba LT is this Mumba “Comos” or Cosmo?
This “National Revolution Party president Cosmo Mumba has backed FDD president Edith Nawakwi’s remarks that president Rupiah Banda moves like a headless chicken and that those in government are not doing things right” is surprising though welcome. I hope Mr Cosmos Mumba will continue in this seemingly normal behaviour of humans instead of supporting anything blindly always.
Have a blessed day all.

Finally Mumba has at least said something sensible!
We are seeing change reaching people bit by bit. Change is certainly coming and it is about rejecting the current headless government. At this rate, even the raving mad, like a certain Mr. something on this forum won’t survive much longer. Their days are numbered!
Yes #1 and #2. Having thoses characteristics leads one to doing things not in the right way. Cant think you G4s!!!

welcome to the pact Cosmos…… for the first time you have opened your mouth wide to say something sensible. keep it up
Who is cosms mumba, anyway!

A chap in Ndola has been imprisoned for simply stating that RB has failed to rule. Now to be called a HEADLESS CHICKEN? Inst this a case for the gallows?
Did Nawakwi explain what she meant?
Nawakwi and Mumba watch out for Rupiah’s dogs. Rupiah who is now being compared to GOD and his son Andrew to Jesus by one of RB’s dogs. Zambian politics have really gone to the DOGS
>:):))3:-o

I`ll take you back to a famous secondary school illustration to explain what Nawakwi meant in her narative.The difference between Vectors and Scalar quantities.RB is a good example of a Scalar,meaning,having magnitude but without any direction.
#23 Chapi
Thanks. And thanks for reminding me of Sec School. Long time ago for some of us. Anyhow, if RB is that bad he should be kicked out of office soonest. Why shud our country be led by leaders who have no direction. Hopefully he will go at 2011. And hopefully he will be replaced by someone capable. Sata, HH, Chipimo? Cant think of anyone else.
LOL! You guys really take Cosmo seriously huh?
Cosmo was the one who got K11 million from Nevers Mumba at UTH for supporting RB in 2008.
LOL! You cant be serious.
He has probably run out of sheets and wants another cut.
I see RB is not giving this time round.
LOL!
#23, thats right. The only problem with our scalar quantity, RB is that he has a scalar factor of 4 (trips per month).
Dear All,
I am cleansing myself because I know some Zambians have short memories. I know if I agree with Edith, everybody will be excited and support me. I will be accepted as if I have been clean all along. E.g Edith cleansed herself by not supporting the third term and almost everyone can not remember how she fought against civil society in Zambia. Imagine the late Paul Tembo the then ardent support of Chiluba’s third term was also welcomed after he caused a lot of damage with his third term compaign, He joined the opposition not because he was principaled but becosi he lost elections at the MMD convention, Kavindele too was accepted after being fired as Minister, What about Mpombo himself the master minder of the third term. I am cleansed. Rgds Dr Cosmos Mu Edger Angoni Ngoma
Zambia is the only country were politicians practices politics of insults, I don’t see it in any other African country. Oops that is democracy i guess!!! Democracy of insanity.
Dr Cosmo Mumba was not given “akanono”, maybe that is why he has changed his stance. Anyway, welcome to the side of reason, Mr Doc.
Its true RB is a headless chicken. Have you ever seen a mukolwe run just after its head has been cut off? lol its a sight. Its runs with so much strength but with no sense of direction just like our beloved headless chicken president. Always on the move BP.
cosmo, how foolish are you looking now?? you thought those envelops will continue when RB is in power.? shame mwana. shame
