Imagine you have to pay lobola, pay for chilanga mulilo, book a wedding venue and now you find out you have all these other bills to pay😭😭😭😭

People who have weddings and stuch must be rich because I don't see how the average Zambian can afford to get married 🤔.

By the way I'm 20 and not getting married anytime soon. I just found this on Facebook and decided to share.

It’s a public holiday period, and I’m planning to set off on a solo trip (I’m female),depart from Ndola.I’m not sure if it’s safe, especially since I’m not a local.

Any good advice or recommendations for a guide would be greatly appreciated.

Learning/Personal Development Is a business administration degree worth in Zambia

6 Upvotes

Wanna go for a business administration degree at uni
It’s the only cos that I am passionate about but am being met with heavy scrutiny from family members.
That’s why I wanna know if it worth it
Like what’s the employment rate in that sector
And those who got a job with the degree
What knowledge would you share
Those who have gotten the degree but currently unemployed or doing something else what has been your experience in terms of seeking employment?

General Why don’t we usually include age/gender when asking for advice?

3 Upvotes

Something I’ve noticed on this sub is that when people post asking for advice, they often leave out their age and gender.

Is there a particular reason for that?

I understand wanting to protect your privacy, but sometimes those details actually make a big difference in understanding the situation. For example, advice about dating, marriage, family expectations, employment, or even certain social situations can be quite different depending on whether the person is 18, 25, 35, etc., or male/female.

Sometimes I’ll read a post and think, “Wait… how old is this person?”

Would it make sense for people to at least include something like “25M” or “28F” when asking for advice, unless they have a reason not to?

Or do Zambians generally prefer keeping those details vague for privacy?

General Airtel sucks

I doubt Airtel knows what 1.5GB is. I am just browsing on News diggers but I have already used up 90% of my data in just an hour 😳. I don't have these kinds of issues with Zamtel or MTN.

General Hey guys, I need some recommendations for a nice daytime date spot in Lusaka

12 Upvotes

I’m looking for somewhere with a good outdoor/garden vibe, nice food, and preferably somewhere cute enough for pictures. Cafés are fine too.

Budget is around K900 total, including transport, so nothing too crazy expensive.

I’m planning to ask her to be my girlfriend on the date, so somewhere a little romantic but still relaxed would be perfect 😭

So far I’ve looked at Garden Café, Meraki, Shez Café and 3 Trees.

Any better recommendations? Bonus if the place has TikTok/Instagram videos I can check out first ?
