Selling ourselves is what we do best. A lot of this is also largely a mental problem. Many Africans cross the seas to go advance other countries in terms of science, engineering, etc. I am a large believer that Asia developed because they don't have the mental problems we do. They evaded...

Hii ni habari ama kitu yenye kila mtu anajua... Lakini hii ni shida ya Kenya tu? Kuna watu wengi Afrika hawana chakula. Ni ushenzi. We have a ridiculously large landmass yet there has been minimal progress in terms of farming. On that note, a country can feed itself properly yet there are still...

I just praised your leaders and now you are making me take it all back. You mean your country degraded to being one of the poorest in the world because your leaders were busy interfering in other countries? I won't pretend to know of your war with Uganda as I only know Nyerere helped the mkora...

I will congratulate when due and congrats there. Unless Kenya gets rid of the establishment that is Uhuru, Odinga, Ruto, etc. There will be zero strides take on our side to fight corruption. However, I still wonder where the money in Tanzania goes.

Basi post statistics tuone. This is the only place I have genuinely seen this comparison. Most Kenyans are indifferent to Tanzania and vice versa. Also, don't know what your obsession is with slums. Where are the things that matter? How do you rank in health care, education, per capita income...

Did you repatriate back to TZ or were you living in Seattle as a student? I would like to go back after all the debt from student loans and maisha (honestly, living here equals debt). I must say I am apprehensive because of the corruption, mindless religion and horrible traffic. I know TZ is...

Please let me know objectively, I am just posting other people's opinions. I really though have no beef with Tanzania and just genuinely want to go and see for myself. Expats who have lived there have often objective opinions. For instance, I notice expats who live in China say the Chinese spit...

I live in America, there are thousands of Ghettos here and I have passed through some very bad ones. Does that mean America isn't developed? I have seen so many homeless people in the New Jersey train station but does that mean America is not a developed country? When my friend from Kenya came...

I used to think Tanzania did not have these things, but since I am planning to visit and hopefully live one year there, I do my research and lo and behold msijidanganye. Tanzania is corrupt. Ask yourselves how can Tanzania not be corrupt? You are a peaceful country with no ethnic violence, a...

I just answered because it was the first thread I saw and I did not read many of the posts here. Kwanza, the photos people keep posting here as if they mean something. Nairobi in pictures looks beautiful that you wonder where kibera is. False advertising at its best. This false advertising has...

I am not a fan of Kenyatta lakini at least we were spared socialism. It clearly didn't work out for Nyerere's Tanzania (and I like Nyerere more than JK). Socialism with corruption has been a massive recipe for disaster for almost all countries. The best examples are in South America.

Wakenya watasema Kenya na Watanzania watasema Tanzania. If you have been to both you know Kenya is ahead. When my family went to Tanzania, my mom didn't compare Dar es Salaam to Nairobi. She compared it to Kisumu in the 70s. This thread is like those Kenyans who think Nairobi is comparable to...
