1.) How most Zambians assume most misfortunes are from the devil, when at times it's simply other factors like laziness, mismanagement, poor decision making, etc
2.) Not everything is spiritual warfare, so called religious leaders and spiritual father's (papa's) are just using basic physiological tricks to extort from people and make a large living from it and then tell their followers that "it's grace". Even going as far as taking advantage of and sleeping with their female congregants
3.) Most Zambians don't hate corruption, they just hate when they're not the one's benefiting from it
4.)Most religious Zambians are only surface level and don't even practice it in the way they live or treat others. Cause so many Zambians who are "devout" are attracted to the facade of piety, instead of actually being pious and it shows, such as the religious hypocrisy, as corruption and inequality persist, people would choose to complain about abortion, people's dressing and other things
5.)The famous Zambian hospitality is mostly reserved for those they can identify as wealthy, heck in some places customer service might not even exist 🤦🏾♂️
6.)Most Zambians are lack knowledge, might be dull, don't know how to speak up for themselves, and are not curious enough and will struggle to stimulate one intellectually Many lack critical thinking skills
7.)We are too casual about paedophilia, victim blaming and disrespect for bodily anatomy and consent. Cause tell me how grown adults in Facebook comments and on my bus commute will blame a literal 12 year old child for being r*ped instead of the 40something yrs old who did those terrible acts to her
8.)The "spirit of forgiveness" that impends our justice system
9.) Relying on your pastor's to be your everything,... yes they may play an important role in one's life, but they can't be your lawyer, doctor, marriage counselor and financial advisor all in one
10.) Also waiting for things to happen and relying on others to solve your problem's. Example, waiting always on the government or that one family member to foot the bill, but when offered work, you start making excuses and such
11.)Praying and waiting for God to do something, while being stagnant, instead of praying and doing something themselves to receive God's blessings.
Also being stagnant in thoughts, thinking about heaven alone and not earth, basically not prudent and forward thinker's
12.) Asking anyone older than you to be accountable for their actions, no matter how bad they behave is seen as disrespectful

Sorry, I should have mentioned that where I am it's 10:00hrs at the moment as I have left home (business trip) for a bit, so my yesterday is your today or something, idk, still getting used to it.
So any tips for a newbie?
Also, thanks, I just realized that Reddit has its own time 😅
The more you know I guess 🙌🏾
The only thing I don’t like that gives me the ick is the copying of ideas and nothing unique. Someone makes a famous loan app? People follow. Someone makes a house4rent app? People follow. Very hollow and doesn’t really innovate anything. Lack of creativity. But also I’d blame the school system. Doesn’t leave much room for independent thought so although people push for education, there’s no point if there’s no freedom of thinking.
Wow! just like every other nation in Africa, subsets of Europe, Asia and Latin America
