In response to Kaiganjo's Quote:I am not very sure Alba that I do celebrate anything TZnian...may be yourself... Yes I celebrate how Tanzanians live in harmony and how they vote on merit and not tribalism. Its good to see an African country where people do not judge each other based on ethnicity. You on the other hand seem to thrive on tribalism Quote:Neither do I or any known family member of mine have any TZnian affiliations even after our grandparents long stay in TZ...
Africas entanglement with foreign cultures especially with your likes has been rather fascinating and not surprising at all...Nobody is forcing you to embrace them after all it is a matter of free will...
by the way Alba how much of your culture have you exported to US, UK etc despite having so many your countrymen in those individual countries than we do have in TZ??? This is just a useless sidewhow by Kaiganjo that does not address the pertinent issue which is as follows : When Kenyans were pushing for an East African federation, Tanzanians were against it. They did not want Kenyan politicians to go to Tanzania and start campaigning on tribal basis as they do in Kenya. Tanzanians do not want the tribal cancer spreading from Kenya to Tanzania. Kaiganjo thinks that this is a KCPE composition where he has to try to impress by writing cliches and flowery prose. ---> All that gibberish does not make your case stronger. Quote: Mmmmhhh I hope the 40million people who live in Kenya are just but virtual human images!!! I am not aware that crime in Kenya is making Kenya unlivable...If that was true, why do we have so many foreigners chasing the Kenyan citizenship???
You are in denial. There are so many places in Nairobi now where you dare not be found outside at night. It’s a far cry from 1990s for example. Quote:I don't quite remember any one time when kenya was begging TZ to accept her expertise...It is there for any takers willing to pay a price for it...You see Alba the situation is like TZ being in an ocean or lake fishing...If it catches an undesirable fish, she returns it back to the water and throws back the hook into the water again hoping to catch the right fish...So nobody is stopping TZ from choosing whom it wants to co-operate with. It is their right. You haven’t really made any point here. You made the statement that Tanzanians are foolish and now that it has been debunked you are engaging in useless metaphorical statements that have zero substance. Again all these useless metaphors do not make your case stronger. Quote:So why is she crying foul when they see other states making their decisions on the way forward for their countries without her (TZ)??? Again, I am not speaking for the politicians of Tanzania. I am telling how their people feel. Kikwete may be loosing sleep over EAC but the average Tanzanian does not care Quote:It is not a joke Alba...What does TZ has to show for being a staunch member of SADC for all those years??? Yes, we have struggled with our economy to get it to wherever it is despite all the challenges...limited natural resources and limited agricultural land, but we are still working hard as ever...Personally i am very proud of what I have been doing for my government/country, not what the government/country has been doing for me... The fact of the matter is that Tanzania is growing at a much faster rate than Kenya. You can wax lyrical about what you do for the government but it does not change the fact that Tanzania is progressing faster than Kenya. It’s a fact that Kenya is being held back by tribalism and corruption. Once again you are in denial about Kenya's problems. Quote: Nobody said Kenyans are not poor and nobody said TZ is not economically progressing, so don't bring some uncalled for distractions if you have run out of fuel Alba...Everyone else except me have always known that TZs economy is growing at an astronomical speed...always Alba!!!
I am glad you now admit that Kenyans are also poor. You were initially bragging about how Tanzanians are poor as if the same does not apply to Kenya Quote:When i think back to PEV 2007 I do not connect the events then to corruption or TZs failure to engage other Eastern African states to offer her a soft landing spot in any further inter state trade pacts and negotiations...or am i wearing lead goggles!!! PEV2007 was caused by tribalism but also by impunity. The idea that a group of people who did not win an election can brazenly cling to power even as the country burns is a classic case of corruption and impunity. The primary reason they wanted to cling to power is also so that they could continue with their corrupt ways. This is the Kenyan way Impunity, Tribalism, corruption . The problem with Kenya is people like you who are in denial about this. The sooner Kenyans can admit we have problems, the sooner we we will start to progress.

@Alba, With Tanzania's growing economy, why do they have to export their beggars here? Why can't they beg from their "growing" economy?
Burundi is the most corrupt country in East Africa, why are holier-than-though Tanzanians going to bed with them? How safe is DRC?
Who said,Tanzania is not their country? What everyone is saying is, they can have their country as the rest forge unity. Why [Tanzanians] are they whining?
Pili pili washakataa na wengine wakiila, yawaasha. WHY?
So they are afraid of Kenyans,Ugandans, Rwandeese.
@Alba, You can't see the pattern? They just want to hang around with chicken like Burundi & DRC, because in that grouping, they'll feel like swans.
Let the eagles [Ke,Ug &Rw] spread their wings as the chicken [TZ,Burundi] coalesce.
I am not aware of Tanzanians sending beggars to Kenya. Maybe you can post some links. I am also not aware of average Tanzanians pining to join the EAC. Once again I do not speak for their politicians. We Kenyans have serious problems and we are in denial about the fact that we can learn a thing or two from Tanzanians.

May be this is what (s)he meant. Seems like human trafficking to me. Life is like playing a violin solo in public and learning the instrument as one goes on.

You are in denial. There are so many places in Nairobi now where you dare not be found outside at night. It’s a far cry from 1990s for example. I am not in denial Alba...there are so many places in New York city, London, Paris and Dar es Salaam where you cannot venture beyond 2100hours... Nairobi covers only about 700 square kilometres which translates into 0.12% of the entire Kenyan land mass...the fact that some parts of Nairobi are not safe does mean that Kenya is not safe!!

I am not in denial Alba, and like i said no one is desputing the fact that TZnian economy is growing faster...so do we jump out of our skins and cry our hearts out??? Our economy too is growing and the main contributor is the citizens...a fact!!!

I am not engaging you any further, I rest my argument, adios amigo!!! ...besides, the presence of a safe alone does not signify that there is money inside...

Quote:You seem to be the fellow who go to your friends and brag about your neighbours' beautiful wives while you do absolutely nothing about your own! What a silly analogy. Is that the best you could come up with ? There is nothing wrong with applauding when another country does something better than Kenya. It is clownish to say that we cannot learn something from Tanzania. We have serious problems. Lets stop being in denial and making standard 1 type analogies to justify them. Quote:You are out of order here...my statement was based on your belief that TZnians do not want tribalism exported to their country...
I asked you a simple question that you are deliberately but foolishly avoiding to answer...
Could you answer it instead of going at it hammer and tongs...
And by the Alba we not in a competition...we are in a discussion fora where everyone is entitled to an opinion no matter how shallow, as long as the facts are there for everyone to read!! What question was this ? If you are referring to the question about me exporting culture to the USA, I did not bother answering it because it was a silly question. I have already explained to you the mechanism in which Kenyan politicians could potentially export tribalism to Tanzania, they way they did in Kenya. Quote:I am not in denial Alba...there are so many places in New York city, London, Paris and Dar es Salaam where you cannot venture beyond 2100hours...
Nairobi covers only about 700 square kilometres which translates into 0.12% of the entire Kenyan land mass...the fact that some parts of Nairobi are not safe does mean that Kenya is not safe!! Whereas the crime rate in New York City is plummeting , the crime rate in Nairobi is soaring. Perhaps you are stuck in the 1980s when New York was indeed a hell-hole. Crime in Dar is not soaring and the crime rates are far lower. You are simply in denial about this. Everyone else with half a brain can see this clearly. Quote:I read here that it is you Alba who is saying that TZnians are foolish...you are now exposing your wanting linguistic shortcomings if you cannot understand a very simple statement...Asiye jua maana haambiwi maana... You are the one who has been hurling all manner of unfounded insults at Tanzanians on this thread. Everyone can see it Quote:I am not in denial Alba, and like i said no one is desputing the fact that TZnian economy is growing faster...so do we jump out of our skins and cry our hearts out??? Our economy too is growing and the main contributor is the citizens...a fact!!! Please learn to read and comprehend. No One is saying we should cry. I am saying that we could address our problems with regard to tribalism and corruption instead of constantly being denial. The fact that you think crime in Dar or New York is just as bad as Nairobi shows how far in denial you are. Quote:My saying Kenyans are poor too does not amount to negating an earlier assertion which I did not make...you are seriously reckless...you are mixing up statements from various contributors...
The thing is I stand by what I said and the facts are as presented and not guess work or assumptions like you are doing Alba... You claimed that Tanzanians are poor as if Kenyans are not. That was not a statement from anyone else. It was you who made that statement. You cannot run away from your own posts Quote: Alba your arguments are centred and glued around tribalism and corruption and nothing else worth reading, just like a hard wired robot programmed to say the magic words tribalism and corruption and to see only what it has been programmed to see ...
I am not engaging you any further, I rest my argument, adios amigo!!!
Don’t let the door hit you on the way out. Let people who actually have something useful to contribute other than just denials and bogus comparisons of crime in Kenya to crime in Tanzania.

Why do they Tanzanians bar Kenyans/E.Africans from their IPOs lumping us with foreigners and while Kenya treats them as locals? What thing can we learn from Tanzanians besides tribalism? How do you think Tanzanians would be like if they had the biggest economy in East Africa?

Very interesting indeed!! INTERESTING! TZ govt wouldn't go to court for such. They were engaged in talks with Uganda on use of Dar alternative after the 2008 PEV in Kenya disrupted supplies to Uganda

Very interesting indeed!! The agreements reached by CoW do not derail integration as far as am concerned. Instead they deepen integration. TZ should however be taken to the same court for expelling EAC residents and playing cat and mouse games to derail integration process. You cannot have your cake and eat it.
