My twitter account is on steriods

That's a catchy headline every blogger will like, well, I did put my twitter account on steriods. I had to just to see what will happen. My account is personal account which I use to shout out and shoot out to the cyber world out there.

I am a type of keyboard warrior and I have one or two battles I am fighting. It is a bit scary in the cyber world so you need some followers, fans, friends,clients and sometimes social media coaches. The first three are to support you material and moral and the coaches are there to teach you how to survive out there in the cyber world.

The followers,fans,friends and clients are there in the cyber world for your taking. You can have them for free!! It is the so called social media coaches and gurus that you have to pay. These coaches dangle some freebies upfront and make you pay for the real deal.I think is is fair, these guys need some bread and butter on their table too!!

Now you may be wandering why I put my twitter account on steriods. I did it because I wanted to test my pulling power as Edmore Mbuzana Mlambo I just wanted to see how many followers will get me on twitter, THAT IS WHY I PUT MY TWITTER ACCOUNT ON STERIODS!!!!

The Bob in Robert Mugabe

 What's so special about February 21? It is a Bob thing!! You know that it Robert Gabriel Mugabe's birthday. Well if you do not know Bob then you been dead all these all these years. The man turns 94 years next February!














BOB THE CHRISTIAN

Bob is that kind of guy that you might like to hate. I mean who would want to associate with a guy who does not drink and smoke. A guy who is a devoted Catholic and says his prayers before going to bed.

He has openly criticised homosexuality. He believe it is not only natural but unChristian to be gay. This is contrary to western views and many whites hate him for his stance on this issue.

 Well, he is kind of the boring person in the hood! No wonder they have banned him in the United States and Europe!!










BOB THE ACADEMIC



Bob the leader and President

Bob is no ordinary persona! He has seven academic degrees and most of them he did while he was in prison.He was in prison because some crazy white person was not very comfortable with him wandering around Rhodesia. Now you see this guy spent eleven years in prison and came out with degrees in his prison exit bag!!! This guy is crazy!!!

BOB THE LANDGRABBER

Bob as a Freedom Fighter
Bob is kind of crazy!! He is that guy that took land from about 5000 British landowners who had inherited it from an equal crazy guy called Cecil John Rhodes. Cecil John Rhodes, through the British Chartered Company, had got the land from the indigenous and Aboriginals of Zimbabwe by hook and crook.

BOB THE LAND GIVER
Our crazy Bob was not impressed with what Cecil Rhodes had done! He took the land from the lily-white skinned kith and kin of the Queen and Rhodes!! And here Bob gave the land to his own kith and kin, who are black and who, as they say, are not competent or qualified to be on the land.

BOB THE ENGLISH KNIGHT

Bob is a kind of unique British subject. He was knighted by the Queen of England. I mean if you're British you call him Sir Robert Gabriel Mugabe. This guy can seat in the House of Lords in England if he was not banned from visiting London by the subjects of the same Queen!!! The crazy Queen of England took back the sword and armour when she found out that he was parcelling out her land without her authority.

BOB THE TEACHER

Bob has done crazier things. He has been a teacher in Zambia and Ghana. Well, he could have been a lawyer, economist or a dozen other things but he chose to be an ordinary leader of an ordinary revolution which has an extraordinary name-  Chimurenga.

BOB THE CHIMURENGA LEADER

Bob in the Bush
Chimurenga is a kind of crazy process!! It needs crazy people to work it up. Crazy black people just start killing equally crazy white people. Some people including Bob were the architect of the Chimurenga and you will have to guess who was on the winning side! You can also guess who was the leader of the winning side!!

BOB THE NOBEL PEACE PRIZE NOMINEE

For winning the war, the crazy whites denied him the Nobel Peace Prize in 1981. How could you award a white man's Prize to a crazy black communist, for beating fellow whites!!! As l have indicated all crazy white people have the right to hate this man. Mandela did get the Prize for staying 27 years in prison and being a white man's good boy!!!

BOB THE PRESIDENT

Of all crazy things that Uncle Bob has done is to win every election since 1980!! The white driven propaganda machine has said he has cheated on all those elections. Well, I have voted for him several times because I am black and I vote to spite every white person who thinks Zimbabwe is theirs to take. I have voted for Bob because he has the capacity to lead.

Unlike Nelson Mandela you will not be seeing statures of Robert Mugabe,Joshua Nkomo and Kwame Nkrumah in the squares of Europe
BOB THE ZIMBABWEAN MAN

There are still a lot of crazy of things Bob has done that make the Queen subjects very unhappy!!! There are also things that Bob has done to Zimbabweans that makes all of us go crazy with happiness and pride.The land issue, health and education and very frightening unity and tranquility.We do not expect applause from the European Union, United Kingdom and the USA for what he has done for this country, instead we have been slapped in the face, by racist sanctions from these white supremacists led countries!!!

BOB THE LEADER

Bob is turning 94!That is a crazy statement. He has said that he will be running for the President's office in 2018. That will make some people go pink and  crazy. We crazy people out here will definitely wish him a happy Birthday and (as crazy as it sounds) wish him many more!!!

WE ARE ALL BEING ROBBED BY ECONET


I own a dual sim android Smartphone which runs on Econet and Telcel lines. My device allows me to select which line to receive data with.

COMPARE THE NETWORKS

I have noticed that when I recharge my Econet line with a dollar and buy 5 Megabytes of data even when I do not use it or make a single call my airtime will be exhausted in less than four hours.
I have compared the same with my Telcel I have bought the same amount of airtime and checked on the balance after four hours I will still be having where 4.89 Megabytes and my balance of $0.50. Remember my phone uses the same applications and it is in standby mode and I am not using it !!!!
It is clear that Econet is robbing most of us of our hard earned dollars. Where can we complain or report this criminal act? I challenge Econet on this and I have already complained and visited their offices in Harare.

PUSHING AND CHARGING UNSOLICITED SERVICES

At the moment, I continue to receive “News” which I have not requested for and I have been charged for a service I do not want. I have made several visit to their offices my complaint has not been taken seriously.

SPAMMING AND CHARGING YOU TO OPT OUT

Econet is continuously flooding our messages inboxes with promotional messages. This is spamming and it not only illegal but very irritating. They advise you to send a message to a certain number if you do not want to receive the messages AND charge you for doing that. I did not request for the messages so why should I pay to stop receiving them?

BLOCKING INCOMING SMS FROM OTHER SERVICE PROVIDER

I have had text messages from Google blocked or sent to me late by Econet. If I request codes for verification on my Google account I always receive them late on my Econet line. The response on  my Netone and Telcel is always instantly. Is Econet blocking or delaying these codes? If it is why should they block the codes?

BOGUS  AND MISLEADING PROMOTIONS

I bought a $1-day bundle today at 1000hrs and by 1400, I have not opened one page or even allowed to access the internet. I cannot send or receive Whatsapp messages. This is robbery as the hours are ticking away without me using the 250MB. Econet please do something.

I have written about this before and other complaints on my blog www.edmorembuzanamlambo.blogspot.com my mobile number is +263773037230 and have complained to Econet_support on twitter and my problems have not been solved.

What is Zimasset ?

ZIMASSET: Questions without answers?

Following the recent introduction of Zimasset, I have so many questions on how the program can help the ordinary person on the street and how we as citizens can facilitate its implementation. No one is selling this program to the common people but I feel the selling points to the ordinary people are the eradication of poverty and corruption.

WHY NOT CARRY OUT A ROADSHOW ON ZIMASSET?

The government should carry out roadshows similar to the sanctions petition where ordinary people are told how Zimasset can be a tool for social and economic change. The roadshows will also highlight and articulate how corruption and poverty can be reduced if the policy is implemented.
People should be told of incentives on whistleblowing on corrupt activities. The government should be able to reward its citizens when they report cases of corruption; this will be an opportunity for the government to have permanent checks and control over public funds.
What is the role of government departments like Ministry of Information, Indigenization, and Women Affairs, Education and Youth in sensitizing the people under their respective portfolio on the pro and cons of Zimasset?

WHAT IS ZIMASSET TO THE POOR?

Is Zimasset the answer to poverty and economic development for Zimbabwe or it is just another talking topic in bars and other social gatherings like funerals and political rallies? Do we have the political will to tackle issues and implement?
What does it mean to the poor? Will it change their current situation or will it worsen it?

WHAT WILL BECOME OF THE UTILITIES?

How will Zimasset reduce rates to realistic levels?  What policies must be set in place to protect the public from extortionist and over staffed utilities?
Ideal rates and utility charges must be used as points of redistribution of wealth within a given economy. This calls for a fifth cluster on Public Utilities and Rates which will be able to have an oversight of charges being charged by other clusters.

 

 

WHAT WILL ZIMASSET DO TO PUBLIC SERVANTS AND THEIR JOBS?

There is a need to go to Ministries, departments and sections that generate and collect revenues and take a detailed study of their activities. This will enable us to match and link revenue generating activities and the desired result of a particular utility. This will also allow government to direct savings to targeted areas of need,
The people have another unanswered question; is the current performance appraisal system aligned to Zimasset?
The civil servants who have been grossly underpaid or overcharged by utilities must get his or her just compensation through realistic performance management systems that cascade to utilities under their departments.
Civil servants have carried the burden of utilities and the government must take bold steps to reward them for their diligence and resilience since the year 2000.Has Zimasset addressed the concerns of the civil servants?

HOW WILL ZIMASSET REDUCE CORRUPTION?

The above approach will be able to identify areas where resources have been diverted and are being mishandled. It is known that poverty is the principal cause of corruption, not vice versa as a nation we have accepted this and corruption in turn drives poverty levels up.
Can we as a nation break this cycle by implementing Zimasset, and take decisive action?
 The top two priorities for Zimasset should be to tackle corruption followed by poverty reduction. Corruption and poverty reduction should both be targeted and be treated as a security issue.

WHAT ARE ZIMASSET DELIVERABLES?

Zimasset is being implemented by the highest office in the country that means the government has prioritized Zimasset. My questions what are the OPIC deliverables? Is it how many corrupt people are arrested, a sharp drop in poverty level or double digit economic growth rate?
The above questions must have answers from the authors and architects of Zimasset. When the people know the deliverables and answers, then the government will be able to sell this noble program. Yes, we have it on paper now let us as a nation walk the talk.
