PANIC In Nakonde As Locals MISTAKE Night Club Light Beam For APOCALYPSE
A SEARCH beam from the roof of a night club in Nakonde on Tuesday night caused panic among curious Nakonde and Tunduma residents who upon spotting it thought the world had approached its ending.
Owned by a night club called Limusote, the beam can be revolved in public square, large building, paradise gymnasium, castle, big outside performance and stage. There is a similar light beam that emanates from Vegas at Namakau House in Lusaka’s Chilenje Township.
In Nakonde, the A 799 light search with 220 Volts that adopts high voltage xenon lamp whose quartz cold reflector focuses well, light beam was visible up to 10 km from the border forcing residents to gather in groups.
With few stars in the sky, the search light beam revolved from one end to the other for about two hours continuously bringing most of the activities such as drinking and selling to a standstill.
ZANIS reports from Nakonde that some visibly shocked residents engaged into serious prayers in a desperate bid to save their lives.
Many thought this was time for rupture as the light in the sky was threatening and coincided with a quarter moon that was experienced that night.
One of the residents Dorothy Chikonde said in an interview that she thought this marked the end of the world and the second coming of Jesus Christ.
Chikonde said she immediately started praying as night revellers at a nearby drinking place called Kamba-kamba scampered in all directions for safety.
At a nearby church in Ntindi area , a clergyman Pastor Shadrick Silungwe was found in serious prayers with his congregation interceding for God’s peace.
Pastor Silungwe said the search light beam was seen for the first time in Nakonde district and this caused panic among many people who had never seen it before and were wondering what was really happening.

But what effect and influence do such bright search light beams have on aproaching aircraft, military radar systems etc?
Does using these lights need to be lisenced, registered and regulated because I believe that the same could be misinterprated by pilots.
In fact projecting search lights in the night sky might have military consequences….just saying

Zambians are constantly shouting from the rooftops that this is a christian nation – so what were they afraid of??

Zambians, why use such bad language. Let your conversation be seasoned with salt that it may be building to the hearers. This is just a humourous incident but should teach all of us to be ready at all times. God loves you

Its precisely because Africans are easily scared of the unknown that foreign religions like Christianity and Islam exploited this spiritual situation to get a foothold on the continent.
The two religions specialise in scaremongering. If you dont obey the ten commandments, God will punish you. This means one obeys not because he believes but because he is very scared.
But a person should believe because something is the truth not because he has been forced to believe. Would a loving God put a gun to his son’s head to demand obeyance?
Anything an African cant explain is attributed to God. Imagine the whiteman or Arab arriving in Africa with all those strange gadgets like guns. The native obviously thought he must be closer to God than them so they just obeyed him. Thats how he took the land and its people as slaves. Africans Open your eyes! Nigerians stop killing each other in the name of Allah or Jehova.
