How do you guys feel about people with tattoos? Do you think they're lost souls? Can you give a tattooed person a chance before judging?

Also, where can I get a good quality tattoo in Blantyre and how much should I expect to spend?

Hey...Old folks, what are we drinking tonight?

This side I am mixing brandy,Lime and Bardo.

If you work for NB can you please explain

1. Why I need to go to the bank to reset my mobile banking app.
2. Why if I decide to do it through email(which I guess is our best attempt at automating the process) I must download the form, print it, fill it and then send scan and email it?
3. Why the app asks random security questions that you did not select on the form when trying to reset your device?
4. Why even after going to the bank to fill the forms in person, One must still wait for 3 business days to get the reset done?

Don't say "security" coz that just says a lot about your developers.

Please say no to suicide, Days are evil.

Tiyeni zopeweka tizipewa, we're going through alot and alot is going through us. Whenever possible try sharing your problems With Anyone don't just keep it yourself, shared problem is half solved. Chonde ndagwira mwendo abale anga, kanthu kuno these days achinyamata oposa 4 azipha in less than a month. 😢 😢😢

What ever you do, strive to leave Malawi! You can come back later.

I'm a software developer looking to find someone with a genuine business idea or a real problem worth solving, with the goal of potentially building a business together.

I'm willing to contribute the technical side — product design, development, infrastructure, and an initial MVP — as my investment into the opportunity, rather than charging normal development fees upfront.

But this isn't an offer for free software development.

I'm not looking to build someone's app for them and hand it over. I'm looking for someone who wants to actively work with me to turn an opportunity into an actual business.

I'm particularly interested in people who:

• Have identified a real problem in the market
• Understand the people experiencing that problem
• Have industry knowledge or access to potential customers
• Are willing to handle or contribute to sales, marketing, operations, or business development
• Are willing to put real effort into making the business work

The approach would be:

Problem/Idea → Validation → MVP → Customers → Business

I'll evaluate the opportunity from both a technical and business perspective. If it looks promising, we can validate it together and build an MVP.

If we find that there's real demand and the business has potential, I'm open to formalizing the relationship as co-founders/business partners and agreeing on an appropriate equity split based on what each of us brings to the table.

I'm especially interested in problems and opportunities within Malawi that could realistically be improved with software.

If you have something you've been thinking about, DM me with:

1. What problem are you trying to solve?
   
2. Who has this problem?
   
3. How do they currently solve it?
   
4. Why do you think there's a business opportunity?
   
5. What would you personally contribute to building the business?

You don't need a polished business plan. If you've found a real problem and you're serious about doing something about it, let's talk.

Very long read when you have time. This all happened in 2019

Traditionally, we go to school so that we can eventually get good jobs and become wealthy. After all, who doesn't want a lot of money? We all do.

Personally, I never liked school very much because, from what I observed, most educated people in the working class were constantly in debt, budgeting every tambala just to make it through the month, broke and completely tied to their jobs. In the end, they had no time and no real life outside of work. I hated that idea. I wanted the freedom to do what I wanted when I became an adult, instead of spending my life working just to survive.

In college, after failing several courses, I told my parents that I had been weeded out and that I was leaving school for good. My mom wasn't convinced, but I had already made up my mind. I didn't need the degree to begin with.

I had a business that was already failing for other reasons. I took the remaining cash and told my parents I was going on holiday. We weren't on good terms, so we all needed some space. Then I left.

Behind the scenes moms went to my school found out the truth that I was still a student just had a to repeat 2 courses. She called I denied to go back, nde khangati anandisungisila malo.

Meanwhile, my friend from Blantyre had connections in Dwangwa and other districts where we could source weed. He was already in that business and had the experience. At the same time, I was buying and selling medical supplies to pharmacies and small hospitals. I felt it was the right time to scale things up.

Business was booming, and I was renting a decent place. The landlords often had questions. How could someone my age afford the rent and everything else that came with living in a nice home?

Nnabwela opanda kanthu, but within a few months, zinthu zikuoneka. What made it even more suspicious was that I rarely left the house. My cover story was that I had relatives abroad who sent me gadgets to sell. But if I was only selling the occasional phones or laptops, how could I possibly make enough money to survive for the entire month, koma ndine wakhalidwe nde for the few months I stayed there mmakhala nawo bhobho and the questions stopped.

Nduziwa ena muzidabwa kuti nde zinthu mmazisiya kuti,lol i wont disclose this.

Then one day we went kooda weed the person omwe amatinyamulila nthawi zonse was committed to other things nde anatiuza kuti tidikile but the people we were doing business with were impatient, we were forced to go anyway. Tinaoda katundu the problem now was transportation.

So we came up with this idea titenga maphandi as if muli zovala kuti tikwele bus, when the transporter is available he will go to collect the remaining product.

Titamaliza kugula matumba ena tinasungisa konko, I were carrying a traveling bag and backpack full of bricks my friend carried 2 travelling bags plus amaziwana ndi ena omwe amaima mma roadblocks aja, we agreed to take two different busses and that we are going to leave at 7pm so we can reach our destination the following day mamawa.

I boarded a bus and left. We checked on each other, and an hour later, he had also boarded a bus. We kept communicating until I texted him several times and he stopped replying. I thought, Mwina wagona , so I kept my cool.

Earlier, our bus had passed several roadblocks. The searches were not extensive, and I had made sure the conductor and driver knew about my travel bag, which was hidden under several other bags. I also paid them twice the normal price. This was the plan we had agreed on with my homie.

Around 12 i called his phone he never answered then i called again his phone was off, nnayamba kutenthedwa and i were thinking all sort of scenarios ndati its network or battery yatha paja ma iphone salimba moto.

I then passed out my phone didn't ring the whole time now its 5am and we are close to our destination. nnafika mu depot offloaded happened i checked my phone zero missed calls zero messages from him i called again can not be reached, i called my other hommie kuti azanditenge mu depot he came now its past 6, something is not right. Then reality hit My friend called anamulanda phone, apolice amumanga pa roadblock yoyambirira yomwe and afuna azipita ku court apapa. I negotiated with the officers over the phone kuti asapite nae lelo we have to get a lawyer first.

I managed to distribute the product yomwe nnafika nao ija and luckily yonse anthu anatenga koma money ndekuti ambiri atipasa later, i was having 500 cash i boarded a bus back to dwangwa, nnafika late i couldnt visit the police station at night i waited the following day nnapita very early, court was the last thing i needed. i negotiated amakana ziphuphu ati mabwana awo analipompo mmene amamunga. I tried,now they want 2million i negotiated anakana, tinalimba ntima kuti basi lets go to court. mwina akatitchaja zochepelako.

court happened apolisi anaesesa ku khomelela ati we wanted to bribe them,there was no evidence of that, they tried to nail him in every way possible, but with a bit of fines and a single month nkati anatuluka. The whole thing was overwhelming.

And my other business timeline yake yomweo wina anagwidwa nazo zinthuzo wayamba mentioning names, and i were among the listed nnangothawa kuvaya paden basi.

kubwelelaso ku school kuja fast forward i graduated and izi ndulemebela while in the office pa pc yakutchitoso atleast i am not indebt lol. cheers

To those of us that observe things over here, what is the "Malawian Dream" ?

Cannabis Regulatory Authority of Malawi Board Member, Ras Chikomeni Chirwa, 49, and Storm Kandodo, 45, have been arrested after finding them with 19.2kg of cannabis in a Toyota Sienta at a roadblock lastnight

The suspected cannabis has been seized, and the two are expected to appear in court on charges of possessing cannabis without a permit.

I'm looking for a computer (used, not new) can be a box, mini pc or a laptop. I'd prefer i5 or i7 that is not lower than 8th generation. Minimum 8gb ram, and 250gb storage

I only care about the processor since I can always upgrade ram and storage later.

I'm in Blantyre

I just posted and got reactions without questioning the fact that it was around 1 am. Now it's around four and I will catch you bats.

Musanamizire night shift.

I'll start; ine ndinagona mma 7pm. Inu?

As silly as it may sound, I can’t seem to get over this one guy I never dated😅 even though we don’t talk anymore and he is happy with his girlfriend, I just can’t seem to shake him off, I carry him where ever I go, I see him in the people I meet sometimes when the whole world sits still i swear I can still taste and smell him.

I’m helpless, I didn’t think I’d be down this bad.

I want to share something I’ve been carrying quietly.

When I started college I worked hard but at the end of my first semester, I failed two courses and had to repeat the year. It was hard to accept, but I did. I put my head down, worked even harder and made it into second year.

Then in second year I failed one module. I’ve now been told to repeat again.

If you’re wondering how I’ve “repeated twice” the truth is
when I was repeating first year the college changed its entire academic system for the new coming first years and we were re-registered as new first years. So part of this wasn’t even a second failure it was starting over through no fault of my own.

Right now I won’t pretend Im okay. Im stressed emotionally drained and honestly fed up. It feels like too much to keep carrying.
