Point on!
Also notice the Entertainment section of the e-The Post newspaper. Never said anything about Zambian entertainment, but America. Seriously,they can’t compete with copious outlets of American Entertainment – that’s how they make money. By promoting their own. In our case, we promote other people’s stuff and then wonder why we are poor.
Look at how many Africans take sides with Premier League teams. Some of them go to the verge of committing suicide when their favored side gets trounced.They have no appreciation for their own football.
They buy MAN U, Chelsea, etc parrafins. They are so ignorant about the fact that they are in effect feeding someone else’s child, putting someone else’s child through school and most importantly promoting a whole industry that pays huge sums to coaches and players. There are more dedicated Premier League soccer fans in Africa than in Europe! Go figure.
