Battle: Dar es Salaam vs Nairobi

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 Johannesburg. If you have been to both you know 100% Jo'Burg is better. The better option here is to ask Expats who have lived in both countries. Almost all will tell you Kenya is more developed but Tanzanians are more polite and Tanzania is generally safer.

As a Kenyan, things I envy about Tanzania
1. Swahili - The education system seems worse than Kenya but at least they have standardized swahili.
2. National identity - Tanzanians generally get along with each other unlike my fellow Kenyan yet still retain their cultural identity.

On that note, both countries are poor and the things that to me burden both countries remain.
1. Strong adherence to colonialist religions
2. Corruption
3. Lack of opportunities despite a decent literacy rate.
4. Corrupt law enforcement
5. Terrible access to education for many.
6. Kusifu wazungu. Lakini hii ni shida ya Dunia. The Asians have us beat here.

Frankly, most of Asia will develop even before Africa.

hahahaha...hutoweza niona kaka. mimi ni invisible, najua sana ku-temper na security cameras.

kabla sijakaa eneo lolote lile, huwa natenga dakika kadhaa kuchunguza eneo husika ili nijue angle ya security cameras na namna ya kuzikwepa zisiweze kunasa sura yangu.

kuna mafunzo fulani hivi niliwahi kupewa na rafiki yangu wa ki-israel kuhusu namna ya kuchukua tahadhari unapotembelea eneo lolote lile kama hotel/lodge, kumbi za starehe, migahawa, kumbi za mikutano, viwanja vya michezo nk.

karibu sana.
 
same usual "porojo" we have been hearing from kenyans since 2017 after this thread was created.

it's 2019 girl...so try to come up with something new. otherwise get the strap.

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 caused me great disappointment as a tourist.

On that note, planning to do my East African tour hopefully this year so I will come back to this thread sometime with a first hand account of the different cities I've visited.
 
Noooo! this ain't true. You people like comparing yourselves with us, Kenyans kwenye corruption you are second to none, kwenye kusifu wazungu ndo msiseme, corrupt law enforcement hadi tunaona viral videos za police officers wakipokea bribes halfu ufikiri tunafanana? I agree with you that we're both still backwards economically compared to other nations but what you mentioned is way too extra.
 
Your mother is something else. Dar compared to kisumu is like comparing nuketown to New york city.

i bet his mother keeps thinking that dar es salaam is the same as she saw it in the 70s,80s or 90s.

i'm also 100% sure she thinks nyerere is still alive and continues rule this country till today.

wonders shall never end. [emoji16][emoji16][emoji16][emoji16]

if i were you, i would stay away from this thread the same way other kenyans did to avoid being embarrassed by tanzanians.

for your information, nairobi regardless of being small by size as compared to dar es salaam, has many slums.

out of all slums, kibera is very visible, even a blind person can see it.
