I believe that Governments are largely responsible for ensuring fair distribution of opportunities to end poverty. But individuals should also make wise decisions. For instance, marrying a broke spouse in the name of love is a recipe for generational poverty. #NoDignityInPoverty
When my daughter becomes of age and decides to marry, she shall be given specific instructions to only accept a proposal from a man as financially sound as herself or better. We are not taking chances. The next generation of the MWENGES MUST NOT BE POOR #NoDignityInPoverty
As for my boys, becoming rich is a goal that will be pursued from their childhood. Unless fyashupafye then they can fall within the middle class. Where some of us came from, talking about money and being rich was not entertained. But this is changing. #NoDignityInPoverty
Also stop frowning at the rich because it is actually nice to be rich. Let's just learn how they do it. If we realise that for us the train left the station long ago let's ensure our offspring jumps in. Give no chance to poverty bane. #NoDignityInPoverty
Broke spouses, especially men are very hard to live with. We've seen enough & we aren't encouraging women to settle with men who've no sound financial plans, present or future. They lack confidence & if a woman earns something she's guilty tripped all her life #NoDignityInPoverty
Let's all fight to end poverty. Poverty is bad for your health. It let's you settle for mediocrity. Bemba's have even coined a phrase ati: CHIKULU BULECA, meaning as long as the sun is rising each day then it's OK. But no man! that's not right #NoDignityInPoverty
Next time a person tells you ati UKONDA NDALAMA just say yes! and ask them to surrender to you whatever they've if they don't like it. Money pays bills, money pays schools fees, money pays medical bills. Money is medium of exchange for other goods. #NoDinityInPoverty
Me I cannot hide to anyone, ala I'm tired of poverty.

All the time it's you who can't take a holiday. Ati iyo bazungu bakonda ma holidays. Shut up! We all want holidays but we are broke.
