We were among the 1st to get independent, had a promising economy, endored with vast resources, a peace havern for years, an african football giant,etc. But now the only thing that we still have is peace, with is also being threatened by…….Anyway let me not say much.

  4. That is good for her to inspect,and I whish good luck,but one thing we have to put more efort on organising thing like more training to our players and good finecing to our players,good trainer,good coach.(Good great kalu)

  5. We now have the right infrastructure and many more hotels are being constructed.The magnificent Levy Mwanawasa is among the giant stadia in Africa.But when you look at some of the economies of west Africa that have won the bid to host these torneys are by far behind if we’re to compare them within this region.BET with me,we’re far much better than most of these nations.Viva ZED.we will soon get off this economic quagmire.
