Miff, Tiff and Spat!
We had been studiously avoiding coverage of Madonna’s latest trip to Malawi, but such is the deliciousness of the excoriating 11-point press release put out yesterday by Joyce Banda that we couldn’t resist wading in. These two had previous — Madonna’s people had scapegoated Banda’s sister over a botched school project — and the latest visit was something of a surprise as the singer was widely supposed to have been declared persona non grata. Last week Madonna sent Banda a weird overfamiliar hand-scrawled note which seemed to piss Banda off to the extent that she immediately leaked it.

I read about this in the News and I think this matter was blown out of proportion. That being said I also think Madonna was very disrespectful to the President. Did you get to see the useless excuse of a letter she sent to the president?
I was annoyed! For GOD sake,it was a letter to a President. Couldn’t she have sent something more presentable? It showed a lack of respect for Malawi and the President as well.

Thanks, Audrina. I agree with you. I am Igbo and we have a proverb which says “the person who brings in ant infested fire wood into his/her home should not complain whenn lizards pay him/her a visit”. We invite these insults by our dependence. Let us fix Africa and all these insults will vanish.

Yes I agree. Most Africans bring this kind of insult and situations on themselves. Its sad and unfortunate,but I know very soon all that will change. A generation (our generation) will rise and rid Africa of all the (old) Useless leaders and corruption that has plagued us for so long. Very soon I tell you. I just feel it.
