Tanzania's Diamond Platinumz performance during Azimio la Umoja's final campaign rally at Kasarani stadium on Saturday, August 6 has spurred controversy on social media.

The focus is on him being picked over local musicians for the historic moment.

In his reaction, singer Juliani says that it is unfair that an international artiste was picked for the event instead of local talent. He says Kenyan artistes would have served the purpose as well.

"Diamond in Kasarani was distateful. Any Kenyan talent would've sufficed," Juliani wrote on his Instagram page.

On the other hand, the self-proclaimed president of comedy Africa Eric Omondi seemingly doesn’t share that view.

He reprimanded Kenya artistes saying it is their fault Diamond graced the eventful day at their cost.

He opined that Kenya needs showbiz, calling them out for continually being what he termed ad boring, predictable and complacent.

"It says a lot that at this very definitive and historic moment in our nation none of our local musicians was found Worthy!!! I don't blame anyone but the musicians!!! Unless our Musicians rise to the occasion and take their place, this will only get worse!!! " he said.

Adding;

"Listen to me, I have said this and I will say it again. Put in the work!!! We need SHOWBIZ!!! Not these BORING, PREDICTABLE and COMPLACENT things you keep bombarding us with!!! WAKE UP!!!! WAKE UP!!!"

Omondi however pledged to continue advocating for them in the next government.

"I am just waiting for PARLIAMENT to Resume I will do my part and ensure we pass the 75% PlayKE but YOU MUST WAKE UP!!! PERIOD!!!!"

Hivi katika Hali ya kawaida TU unaweza kumgang'ang'ania Mrusi ambaye Biashara yake na Uganda ni hafifu ukamuacha US anayekupa zaidi.Mfano 2020 Uganda aliexport Russia bidhaa za US 9.65 mil akaimport from Russia 73.1mil. wakati kwa 2019 aliexport US bidha zenye thamani ya US104mil.na akaimport from US bidhaa za US89mil.Ukiangalia hapo US anafaida Kwa Uganda kuliko Russia.Tukumbuke pia Africa bado ni dependent kwenye budget yake na most donors ni western.Kwangu Mimi M7 kacheza kama Pele kujiepusha na matatizo ya baadae.

Hapo umesema sawa labda na mimi nichangie kidogo. Most of African countries do not have good stable and predictable policies that can attract investments pia bureaucracy iko very high, lack of reliable infrastructure (roads, railways, ports, electricity, water, etc) ni shida pia japo hii ndio sehemu muhimu ambayo serikali lazima wafanye investment ya kutosha, pia kuna lack of skilled labour ni area nyingine muhimu serikali kuwekeza, business should be the domain of private sector not the government.

One of the most significant policies of the western imperialists is to do whatever it takes kuhakikisha Africa plays its designated ROLE: source of raw materials.

Hata tuwe na highest levels of stability and predictability kwenye siasa na policies za uwekezaji, hiyo role ni ngumu sana kuescape.

Africa ya viwanda haitaweza uza raw resources na uzalishaji wa viwanda vyao utashuka, watu watapoteza ajira na hali ya maisha kuwa mbaya kwa kila mtu kama ilivyo Africa ya sasa.

NB: Ukweli ni kwamba, Africa ya viwanda ni tishio kwa uchumi wao na maisha yao.

Hivyo ni lazima kuhakikisha chumi wa viwanda haufanikiwi kwa kifanya figisu kama:

1. kutofanya uwekezaji wowote wa maana wa viwanda
2. Kusupport viongozi wala rushwa
3. Kuwapinga na kuwapindua viongozi wazalendo wa Africa through covert operations (kama vyama vya upinzani)

Mnapenda propaganda sana. Miaka 60 baada ya uhuru bado mnasingizia wazungu. Wacheni ujinga na muanze kufanya kazi kwa bidii. Pia muwache kuchagua viongozi wabaya.

Itafika mahali labour markets za Asia and especially China and India zitakuwa staturated hivyo kupelekea Africa kuwa na cheap labour than anywhere else in the world hapo ndio transition ya African economics itatokea maana manufacturing units will be relocated to Africa na production ita pick up but most assuredly we will be the last to develop after Asia and South America labour markets have been exhausted. Ngozi nyeusi tunachukiwa sana dunia hii kama vile hatuna haki ya kuishi kama wengine lakini hii yote inatokana na kutokuwa na umoja amongst ourselves. The whole of Africa should be a free trade zone and do away with colonial imposed boundaries.

Unajua maana ya causeway kweli wewe bongolala? Make Google your friend in case you don't understand something/a concept.

Makupa causeway ilibomolewa na

Tulikuwa na wazimu mmoja for 24 years aliyeturudisha nyuma sana. Waafrika huwa tunapenda kublame wazungu ilhali sisi wenyewe ndio tunachagua viongozi wabaya.
