Why is the church always wanting to cause trouble for the ruling party? Why is the church so involved in politics supporting the opposition instead of preaching peace and unity.
And the way they celebrated the “victory”, awe sure these people are sick in their heads.
This villager conman has really taken us back to the cave days.
All the ministers mentioned should be arrested. But then again, we have the Zambezi police force.
Vote wisely in 2026.
Indigo use it as basis for challenging the election results. All you do is make noise all day. If its credible use it. We deal in facts and if what Chikoya says can hold in court. We will have a “do over”. We live in the real world not the delusions that you perpetually assert.
Which church monitoring group….these paid groups ….. levels of desperation by PF have become laughable. Just focus on substance based campaign messages and Zambians will decide.
In the forefront is father chikoya. This father is always live to create problems for the ruling UPND party but always embracing the blood thirsty killers in PF especially the defunct Lungu pf because that is s where the stollen money mutusaka twandalama is found with Uwubomba mwibala, ( Mr. imfwiti imfwita ) alya mwibala is found; to him this odiom sounds good to father chikoya because he can eat the stolen money from the defunct Lungu pf proxies and when his stomach is full and his lips happy and partially red like an attacking snake he will then start attacking the government.
Remember when the human rights payed a cutersy call to the President at State House state house, he was nowhere to be seen, full of shame and did not go there with the rest of the team. Ee-uyu vomiting again but i feel pity for him while carrying the clergy title and uses it to shield and benefit in sin, his end will be very disastrous because kuli LESA kwaliba ibuku. Revelation 20 VERSE 11 through to 20 balilemba
Infact it is Revelation 20 verses 11 through to 15.
Revelation 20:11-15
New International Version
The Judgment of the Dead
11 Then I saw a great white throne and him who was seated on it. The earth and the heavens fled from his presence, and there was no place for them. 12 And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Another book was opened, which is the book of life. The dead were judged according to what they had done as recorded in the books. 13 The sea gave up the dead that were in it, and death and Hades gave up the dead that were in them, and each person was judged according to what they had done. 14 Then death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. The lake of fire is the second death. 15 Anyone whose name was not found written in the book of life was thrown into the lake of fire.
This is what awaits father chikoya.
You mean Ministers can not eat sure
