No, because I was well brought up,\u201d bragged Lungu.<\/p>\n<p>In other words, the former head of state is obviously suggesting that President Hichilema hasn\u2019t been well brought up. Well&#8230;..we shall now endeavour to paint a clear picture of a badly brought up person for the benefit of everyone reading this. To begin with, what\u2019s the meaning of a badly brought up individual?<\/p>\n<p>A proper definition of a badly brought up individual is simply someone who\u2019s of poor stock \u2013 uncouth and devoid of basic manners. Such characters are usually unhinged and tend to have sadistic behavior. They are prone to binge drinking and abuse of drugs, gambling and indulging in illicit sex! Perhaps a few probing questions shall suffice at this juncture.<\/p>\n<p>Who \u201cchewed\u201d money for a widow as a lawyer which led to his suspension by the Law Association of Zambia? Doesn\u2019t this surely border on sadistic conduct? Let\u2019s come to binge drinking&#8230;&#8230;who has a history of consuming substantial amounts of alcoholic beverages and \u2018burning\u2019 what\u2019s supposed to be life savings on gambling in some Casinos in Lusaka? Is this a good mark of a cultured human being? Let\u2019s now tackle infidelity&#8230;&#8230;who has insatiable appetite of chasing after every skirt he comes across, including flying-in \u2018tuma girls\u2019 from abroad to come and pamper him that has left banakulu traumatized?<\/p>\n<p>If we may completely ply open the can of worms; is it surely normal for one to send a battalion of armed party cadres camouflaged in police uniforms to go and defecate on the matrimonial bed of a political competitor? Who gassed our citizens&#8230;&#8230;not in Kabulonga, Northrise or Parklands but in shanty compounds \u2013 Chiwempala, Chipulukusu and Chibolya? Who robbed University students of bursaries and meal allowances? Who left out certain regions in his appointments to government positions? What about denying areas perceived to be opposition strongholds, CDF and meaningful development? Which party cadres would arm themselves with pangas, knob kerries, catapults, baseball bats etc and go on rampage opening-up skulls, knocking out teeth, gorging-out eyes and breaking nostrils and ribs of their opponents? Who collapsed on independent media and caused the closure of our favourite The Post Newspapers, Prime TV and Komboni Radio?
