Any zambian who comes here on GSN is a son of a whore.
Maybe your mother is a whole. Asshole
Get yourself a life! Why do you have to insult Zambians? It doesnt matter what you say, they are champs. 2013 Afcon belong to them too. Our dark satanic black star is paralysied for good. Such prayer warriors they are.
He wouldn’t be insulting zambians if they showed respect everytime they come on this website. These zambians are too disrespectful and thus, they deserve what ever curse and hate that befalls on them on this website.
Leave the Zambians alone, u bn beaten twice by the same team ,thats a double over u ,so zip it n start praying 4 a better outcome nxt year.
hey my fellow Zambian coleagues I think its unzambian and unacceptable everywhere to insults ghanians everyday on this site. I therefore, appeal 2 every responsible Zambian and ofcourse Ghanian to refrain from writing insults to each other. Lets be Civility and responsible and share mutual respect as the hallmark of an african. I have high esteem for Ghana because my teacher who me taught a ghanian at high school. And we also have kwame nkhruma univesity here in Zambia so we have shared so much with ghana.
all ghanaians and zambians, it is about time u start to behave and stop acting like a bunch of school children……lol
