    Ba Kalu all the best. You are a true ambassador of Africa. We hope the invisible hand of Isaa Hayatou wont make it this time around. We wish you the best in your dreams. Thats the way up. Soon or later we need to get rid of the boys from the old school. Most of them promised to make way after world cup. Do not lose hope stay positive and sell yourself properly.

    Sceptic,
    It part of life my friend you have to think big and take risks. The higher the risk the higher the rewards.

    whats the term of office of caf president,isa hayatou has been unopposed in all elections,does it mean hes got no one to challenge him

    All the best ba Kalu. You have my (and I am sure a whole lot of other Zambian and Southern Africans) support. Aim high and perhaps when you get inside there, that will be a BIG plus for Zambia as you shall be well placed to give us what we expect. BIG UP to you.

    Ba Sceptic, I think ba Kalu has a right to go for it. He has what it takes after all. He needs yours and my support.

    ALL THE BEST Great Kalu. You can take CAF forward in that role and you are definately winning.

    We need proper representation south of the equater and make sure that decisions at CAF are fair and not favouring West and North African countries as the case has been.

    I like Kalu’s determination and I think that’s what took him all the way in his careers. Skeptic, what’s wrong with having ambitions, stop that pull him down syndrome. We do not like people like you coz we shall never move forward without ambition.
    Go Kalu go!!!

    I also admire Kalu’s determination.Sceptic,Kalu has no fear & does not shy away when it comes to fighting for leadership positions.Maybe thats why we call him GREAT b’coz he beats all our ex-players on this one

    kalu you want to do many things at the same time. Deal with the problems with Faz first and improve the soccer standards in Zambia. You are not a good manager and you dont know how to use diplomacy.

    CAF elections are not like FAZ elections just to remind you.
    Just concentrate with the FAZ job.

    Let’s hope Kalu’s plan is to be in FIFA then this makes sense because he would be moving up the ladder from rung to rung until the top. But if this is just about getting opportuunity after opportunity then we have a problem.

    Luckily for him, this time he is going as FAZ President and we hope he has done his homework getting support from countries in the region.
  • Ba Ole wrote on 22 November, 2008, 13:24

    The Mbesuma issue sounds like a non-issue as the guy was in Morocco.
  • Billy wrote on 22 November, 2008, 18:08

    Its good to be ambitious but Kalusha is too ambitious. Sorry I have to call a spade a spade. If you cant organise FAZ, how can you work for CAF. Its too much. How I wish Hanif Adams was FAZ president.

    I admire pipo like kalu.they make me feel like going 4 the countrys presidence bcoz of the corrupt MMD leadship.
  • AS wrote on 25 November, 2008, 18:57
