PROF. NAISON NGOMA RETURNS TO CBU

Former Copperbelt University Vice Chancellor Prof. Naison Ngoma has returned to CBU this time as a student of law at the age of 70.

Prof. Ngoma is a Doctor of Philosophy with a Masters in Public Management from the University of the Western Cape and Bachelor of Arts in Economics from the University of Zambia.

He served as CBU Vice Chancellor for ten (10) years.

Speaking exclusively to Radio Icengelo, Prof. Ngoma said he has returned to school because learning is a lifelong process designed to assist people to continuously improve their skills.

“I would like to confirm to you that indeed I have returned to school as a student and that I have deliberately chosen to go to the Copperbelt University and study law through the evening programme offered by the CBU,” he said.

“You may wish to ask why back to school at all? Valentine (Mukuka, reporter), learning is a lifelong process designed to assist people re-skill themselves and add other skills in their toolkit in order to address their needs and the needs of their institutions,” Prof. Ngoma said.

Meanwhile, Prof. Ngoma has bemoaned the fact that there are only three first year students studying law under the evening programme at CBU at the moment.

“However, I have been taken aback by the low number of students grabbing the opportunity of enhancing their education. In my first year law class for instance, there are only three of us. Now for a city like Kitwe, the second largest city in the land, this is sad especially when one considers the enormous need for a country to have highly skilled people greatly needed to participate in the improvement of the country in various fields.”

“I would like to encourage the inhabitants of the Copperbelt Province in particular to take advantage of what their local university is providing. Surely, a number of us can spare at least two to three hours ever evening to attend classes. Come on, speak to your friends, and let us do this. It is good

NEVER LOSE HOPE

This message changed my whole life!

When you hold a mango seed in your hands and ask anyone what you are holding, he/she would literally respond, "You are holding a mango seed."

This is known as a fact.

A fact is simply, a present or current state of something, i.e. the fact of a mango seed being a seed. Let me give an example of another fact I know about now.

It's a 100% fact that you are reading this article now. Isn't it? Certainly yes.

Is it true that you are going to continue reading this article forever? Certainly not.

The truth is, you won't be reading this article forever. Truth is the original information about something. The idea that you won't continue reading this article forever is what is known as the truth.

The fact that you are reading this article will certainly change. All facts are temporal! They change.

Never limit your potential in life because of facts (your current circumstances in life) relating to you now.

If you are poor now, it is a fact.
If you are broke now, it is a fact.
If you are dissappointed now, it is a fact.
If you are depressed and frustrated now, it is a fact.
If you are unemployed or jobless now, it is a fact.
If you have failed in your business now, it is a fact.
If your landlord has kicked you out of the house, it is a fact.
If you lost all your money, it is a fact.
If you dropped out of school or university because of lack of finances, it is fact.
If your partner left you, it is a fact.
If you are sick now, that is also a fact.

Whatever you are going through in life now and regardless of how long it has taken, it is simply a fact and I can guarantee you that all facts change. You will never be at the same position in life. You will never experience the same problem all your life. You will never be in the same situation forever. All your facts will certainly change one day.

Don't be misled by how long your facts have taken. Someone can read this article in a few minutes-Felix Mwansa

BY AGE 40 YOU SHOULD BE SMART ENOUGH TO REALIZE THIS:

1. Someone makes 10x more than you do in a 9-5 job because they have more "leverage" with their work.

2. Distraction is the greatest killer of success. It stunts and destroys your brain.

3. You shouldn't take advice from people who are not where you want to be in life.

4. No one is coming to save your problems. Your life's 100% your responsibility.

5. You don't need 100 self-help books, all you need is action and self discipline.

6. Unless you went to college to learn a specific skill (ie. doctor, engineer, lawyer), you can make more money in the next 90 days just learning sales.

7. No one cares about you. So stop being shy, go out and create your chances.

8. If you find someone smarter than you, work with them, don't compete.

9. Smoking has 0 benefit in your life. This habit will only slow your thinking and lower your focus.

10. Comfort is the worst addiction and cheap ticket to depression.

11. Don't tell people more than they need to know, respect your privacy.

12. Avoid alcohol at all cost. Nothing worse than losing your senses and acting a fool.

13. Keep your standards high and don't settle for something because it's available.

14. The family you create is more important than the family you come from.

15. Train yourself to take nothing personally to save yourself from 99.99% of mental problems.

16. If you don't separate yourself from distractions, your distractions, will separate you from your GOALS.

*Stay positive and be the real you*

"I was abandoned by my mother at the age of seven months (7months) with my father and stepmother. My stepmother was mean. I endured all manner of maltreatments she meted at me. Sometimes I went hungry for days. She would so starve me that I would be seeing d€ath. On one occasion, I was very hungry that I had to eat our dog’s leftovers food. Our neighbor’s son caught me eating the dog’s leftover food (eba and egusi) and he told his mother who later that evening invited me to her house and asked me if what her son said was true. I was so terrified that I begged her not to tell my step mother, because she will k!ll me if she knew that I ate the dog’s leftover instead of throwing it away. The woman wept and promised to give me food everyday without my stepmother’s knowledge, a promise she kept till we left the compound. As if starving me was not enough punishment, my Stepmother fl0gged me mercilessly until I would faint at times. She would also apply pepper in my va**na, eyes, armpit and neck, tie me up and abandon me in one of the toilets for days without food. Despite all these experiences, I was very bright academically and was loved and favored by God and people. I knew that the only way to escape was to achieve educational success, so I never joked with schooling. So you see, I have every right to be hateful, bitter, jealous, arrogant, sad, negative and toxic but I chose not to give up in life.

'Still I Rise'
------------------

You may write me down in history
With your bitter, twisted lies,
You may trod me in the very dirt
But still, like dust, I'll rise.

Does my sassiness upset you?
Why are you beset with gloom?
'Cause I walk like I've got oil wells
Pumping in my living room.

Just like moons and like suns,
With the certainty of tides,
Just like hopes springing high,
Still I'll rise.

Did you want to see me broken?
Bowed head and lowered eyes?
Shoulders falling down like teardrops.
Weakened by my soulful cries.

Does my haughtiness offend you?
Don't you take it awful hard
'Cause I laugh like I've got gold mines
Diggin' in my own back yard.

You may shoot me with your words,
You may cut me with your eyes,
You may kill me with your hatefulness,
But still, like air, I'll rise.

Does my sexiness upset you?
Does it come as a surprise
That I dance like I've got diamonds
At the meeting of my thighs?

Out of the huts of history's shame
I rise
Up from a past that's rooted in pain
I rise
I'm a black ocean, leaping and wide,
Welling and swelling I bear in the tide.
Leaving behind nights of terror and fear
I rise
Into a daybreak that's wondrously clear
I rise
Bringing the gifts that my ancestors gave,
I am the dream and the hope of the slave.
I rise
I rise
I rise. ~Maya Angelou

Leadership 101

The people every leader must avoid...

1: The JUMPERS KNEE

These are the people who have one foot in the leaders' space but another foot outside looking for another leader out there and not fully committed to the present leader...They are all over the place ..

2: SIDE EYE PEOPLE

These are the ones who are there to get to know the weakness of the leader undercover so as to feed opponents ..

3: WATER SPONGE PEOPLE

These are the ones who pull everyone down...they are excess baggage..They don't pull their weight well..they are like a sponge ..gathering water at the bottom to drag the others down..They are not good for THE TEAM

4: TEAM VALIDATION

These are the ones who are not interested in the vision of the Leader but the association with the leader..for the validation...They want to be seen around the king for people to view them as princes ..

5: THE NEWS REPORTERS

These are the ones who report everything to the leader..snitching on the everybody even the very small issues that could be sorted by other quaters....Leaders don't like SNITCHERS.. (snitchers be warned )....
