They should be more concerned with plunderers at all levels of our the general population than an individual who wants to keep the identity of his country of origin.Zambia is in a bottomless pit now because of the so called patriotic Zambia who to a great extent are very short sighted and are mere local heroes in this global village.<BR/>Developed countries are advanced because they have persued policies like dual citizenship,it has helped them tap the best talents on offer from all corners of the world.Its believed NASA has a top Zambian scientist in its ranks and there are a lot of other Zambians contributing to these developed economies.Only a fool can deny such people to identify with their country of origin.The only contribution such Zambians can make to zambia is sending cash to to their relatives through western union.No wonder Africans in the diaspora send well over $40 billion per annum but this only goes as far as consumption at family level.<BR/>The British are not concerned about what other citizenship i hold or how many,their concern is my contribution to the economy in terms of the services i can render and that i pay my taxes.<BR/>Asia has taken over a lot of manufacturing on behalf of the developed west,even services like call centres for big companies have moved over to india.This attraction has been as a result of little bureaucracy and investor freindly atmosphere, this has not only been a boost to their economies but has also provided jobs for the locals.<BR/>As a continent and Zambia especially has failed to do that,we have only managed to atract the chinese to come and establish resturants to cook nshima at Kamwala market-what a joke and we call them foreign investors and the foolish government offers them preferential treatment over locals. <BR/><BR/>Eric - UKAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
