@2WinsDaily I will be glad to get help
The pending request shown in the video was made at 6:18pm today, 300,000/= was deducted from my topbet account but it is yet to reach my mobile money account close to 2 hours later 😢
The ongoing exchange between Moses Magogo and Asan Kasingye on who is not doing their job to promote Ugandan football comes against a familiar background.
In the past, Ugandan sports journalists have repeatedly been criticised for giving more attention to the English Premier League and European football than to the local game.
That criticism, however, often ignores how aggressively foreign football sells itself.
Every single day, I receive emails from the Premier League, UEFA and FIFA, alongside newsletters and updates from different clubs across Europe and beyond.
They are constantly feeding journalists with fixtures, statistics, interviews, photographs, videos, milestones, historical records and potential storylines.
They deliberately make their competitions difficult to ignore. You cannot say the same about the local game.
How many Ugandan clubs regularly send journalists newsletters?
How often does the league proactively distribute player statistics, injury updates, historical records, quality photographs, interviews or interesting numbers ahead of a weekend of fixtures?
Sometimes journalists have to chase basic information that should already be readily available.
That matters because sports coverage does not begin when the referee blows the whistle. The biggest leagues understand that the conversation must continue every day between matches.
They create stories around players, rivalries, records, anniversaries, transfers and personalities, then put that information directly into the hands of journalists.
Our local football administrators cannot remain quiet for most of the week and then complain that Manchester United, Arsenal, Liverpool or Real Madrid are dominating the sports pages and airwaves.
Journalists certainly have a responsibility to tell Ugandan stories, and we should always challenge ourselves to do more.
But the media cannot become the marketing and communications department of the league.
If you want journalists to talk about your product, give them something to talk about CONSISTENTLY.
Foreign football is not necessarily receiving more coverage because Ugandan journalists love it more.
It is receiving more coverage because those running it have mastered the art of keeping their product permanently in our faces.
The local game must learn to do the same.

In Adjuamni, the national cleaning exercise feels like one step forward and two steps back; enforcers do not know what to do with the collected garbage and leave it in the streets. @GodwinTOKO
The town council has no garbage Truck of its own!.😊
