wow .... the end of an era. one of the last (if not the last) independence era leaders in Africa finally goes home. i remember reading "Zambia shall be free" which detailed his struggles to free Zambia from colonial subjugation in secondary school. Adieu sir |

The ones in Nigeria were just opportunists, wanted their tribes to be heard first. These are the type of people that should be referred to as "Founding Fathers" People with real proofs. See the calibre of people he associated with during his time. |

Adaorababy: No African leader that puts their people's interest and future ahead of the Neo-colonialists lasts in power. Happens very very rarely. All these ones that serve 8 years or more are mere foremen to the West's modernized slavery. |

tradepunter: This baba removal as president made me not to believe any trade unionist or social crusader are credible to be voted as political leaders. They are all show no substance. It was Frederick Chiluba that led Zambia down the economic ruin you mentioned. He promised to eradicate corruption and make Zambia paradise on earth,just to get Baba out. The Corruption Zambians later experienced in Chiluba's time became monumental compared to the previous child's play 1 Like 1 Share |

Just like Nigeria depending solely on crude oil, Zambia depended solely on copper as a source of national wealth. Now see where it got them. There must be supper looting going on in that country since independence. Same thing we witness here in 9ja since time immemorial. Kaunda is a historic figure but from what I read up there, his over 3 decades of rulership didn't produce any good result for his country. He fought hard and prevented amalgamation of the 3 Rodesian colonies by Britain. That very heroic for me. He has my salutations. May his soul rest in peace. |

fergie001: Can you see what he did? He fought to 'snatch ' Zambia away from ill-fated federalism. But our founding-fathers , Awo , Zik , Anthony Enahoro and a host of others, fell for it with their minds and eyes closed and sold us into slavery called Nigeria, and brought us into the current agonies. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Though well meaning like Buhari, he left the country impoverished. Honesty and integrity does not produce 8% per annum economic growth rates. Sound economic policies are what transforms economies. Dangote said Soludo's bank recapitalization policies made him what he is today. Buhari's "Great Leap Forward" policies since 2015 have left the economy prostate. "Be patriotic" no dey put food for table. 2 Likes |
