Nkandu Luo Mistakes ‘Boko Haram’ For ‘Barack Obama’
Chiefs and traditional affairs minister Prof Nkandu Luo recently got embroiled in a faux pas during an address to Lusaka residents protesting the abduction of over 200 Nigerian girls when she referred to Boko Haram as ‘Barack Obama’.
In the 25-scond video, which some Zambians are poking fun at on social networks, Prof Luo triggered raucous laughter and applause when she referred to the Nigerian terrorist group behind the abduction of the schoolgirls, Boko Haram, as ‘the Barack Ob…’.
“…things which we are doing here in Zambia to continue singing the song of peace, to continue campaigning for the girl children, that way these criminals in the name of Islam the Barack O, Barack O, whatever,” said Prof Luo as the audience laughed and applauded, “will not, aah, will not abduct our children.”
The event at which Prof Luo made the gaffe took place at the Lusaka Civic Centre grounds on May 17 and was attended by senior government officials, various religious groups, non-governmental organisations and pupils from various schools in the capital city with a view of expressing solidarity with the abducted Nigerian girls.

That is a sign that most of our ministers read very little about current affairs.How could she confuse BOKO HARAM with BARACK OBAMA? Very sad indeed.This is the problem of talking too much off cuff without a written speech,and Nkandu Luo likes it. Very sad indeed for my sister Luo.Next time carry a written speech before standing on the podium my dear.

The fact that she didn’t know what she was yapping about has nothing to do with Bemba Language.

This is unacceptable! This most ugly of “baboons from kwaNabwalya” should learn to contain her diarrhea of the mouth otherwise she will sour our diplomatic relations with the US. You bet she had just finished to give someone a blow job and he came all over her ugly face and she was left in glee about the pent force of the shoot, started seeing Obama in Haram!
