Great choice!
trump is already smelling the oil in zambia hence nominating a gas trader
Mr US ambassador from Syracuse NY will come see his new posting and Lusaka’s dirty disorganized settings will make him depressed .
Only that he has been to Haiti if I read very well. But Zambia has no reason to compare with Haiti?
Syracuse is a ghetto to naimwe. Don’t be cheated, ni ku mushi Ku Syracuse.
In all it’s ghettoness, Syracuse is still superior to your Lusaka.
Have you ever been to Harlem? Besides it’s the people who make any place clean
@2.2 NOSTRA-ANUS…DON’T COMPARE YOUR KALINGALINGA/KAMITONDO TO THAT TOWN
Prominent people from Syracuse New York:
– Collin Powel, Sean Combs, Sammy Davies Jr, Teddy Railey, Mase, Q-tip, Authur Miller, Charles Rangel, jackie Robinson, Edd Sullivan, Harry Belafonte, Keith sweat, Bill Robinson, Azealia Banks, Billy Holiday, Duke Ellington, But just a few to mention.
@Nostradamus?
@ Nostra-dumbass!
While you are at it, Go ahead and compare Syracuse University to UNZA, CBU or both combined.
IMF guy @2.3 is definitely 100% right.No way Lusaka will compare with Syracuse even in ghettos areas.
Congratulations Daniel Lewis Foote!
ONLY people with SUCH cheap and UN inspiring CV can be sent to ZAMBIA, his CV is no better tha MUMBI PHIRI’s I Hope he is not coming to ORGANIZE the opposition UNIP
who wants to know his creditials?
The nation he is working in. He seems to be a good guy for even working in Haiti.
Every educated Zambian. of course!
@2.2 NOSTRA-ANUS…DON’T COMPARE YOUR KALINGALINGA/KAMITONDO TO THAT TOWN
I don’t understand everyone in Zambia, people always are always complaining of having a hard life no cash in the circulation, meaning while everyone is just sitting quietly about the 42 million$ scandal….I am just wondering is it lack of education or laziness….how can the whole country just be quiet…this is serious.
But that is why the inspector general gets a fat salary and jeeps, what the heck is he doing sitting quiet? C’men IG, arrest the thieves without fail!!
He is most welcome to Zambia . the peace corp experience is a great advantage.
Donald has sent this chap from DEA to sort out these drunkards consumed with power!!
He is a Senior Career Diplomat in the State Department. Has been here done this, there, done that. He is the pulse of the US in all the trouble spots. Remember Zambia was once the sub regional capital of the C.I.A
So if under5 and his U.PNDonkeys were correct about Donald Trump, then Ambassador Foote will present his credentials to under5 and not President Lungu, correct?
Spaka like lilo please guide us.
Try to compare the CV of the people we appointment and personnel America appoints.
These guys look for business to take advantage of.Zambians when in Newyork shop and until no money is left.We behave life tourists.We can not take an advantage of what America has to offer.We do not have proper instructions and what we are suppose to achieve in the post.
One of the few Diplomatica with less education
Kenzu! what do you expect! he’s African – American. Education to them is oil & Water. Can’t mix. They are good at music, rough sport and women! welcome home.
