Mkuu suala sio kuwa na barabara yenye jina la Nyerere. Kinachogomba hapa ni kubadilisha jina la barabara iliyokuwepo ambalo bado lina maana kubwa sana na kuiita jina lingine. Tanzania (hasa Dar es Salaam kuna Kenyatta Drive, Haile Selassie Road, Bibi Titi Road, Mandela Road, Nkrumah Street n.k), Mwanza kuna Nyerere Road, nafikiri hata Moshi pia kuna barabara yenye jina kama hilo.

Haiingii akilini kwa barabara ambayo ipo kando ya bahari ya Hindi na tangu kujengwa kwake inajulikana kama Ocean Road, na hospitali kubwa na ya zamani yenye historia ndefu iko kando ya barabara hiyo na imebeba jina hilo kubadilishwa jina kwa kuwa anakuja mgeni... Ingekuwa kuna barabara mpya imejengwa leo hii, haijapewa jina na anakuja Obama kuifungua na wahusika wanaamua kuipa jina la Obama kusingekuwa na hii kelele unayoisikia leo. Mandela Road ilipojengwa iliitwa Port Access Road, na maana yake ilikuwa ni barabara kutoka Ubungo mpaka bandarini kwa lengo la kurahisisha mizigo inayotoka bandarini kwenda mikoani na nchi za nje isiwe na haja ya kuingia mjini. Lakini Mandela alipokuja Tanzania kwa mara ya kwanza mara tu baada ya kuachiliwa kutoka kifungoni, hiyo barabara ambayo bado ilikuwa mpya (ilikuwa imetumika miaka michache tu) ikabadilishwa jina na kuitwa Mandela Road. sasa Ocean Road ina historia ndefu kuliko Tanzania, ilijengwa enzi za wakoloni. Ni sawa na mtu mzima wa miaka 60 kuamka asubuhi na kuutangazia ulimwengu ya kuwa amebadili jina lake kuanzia siku hiyo. Kweli inafanyika, lakini siyo kirahisi namna hiyo. Kuna utaratibu mrefu unaopaswa kufuatwa kabla mtu mzima hajatangaza kubadili jina lake. Ocean Road ni jina la kihistoria, na ukweli unabaki ya kuwa 'Mkataa historia yake ni mtumwa'. Kesho na keshokutwa akija Rais mwingine tena tutabadilisha barabara gani?
 
PHD mkipata nafasi mtampa
barabara atazindua yenye jina lake.
angekua muislam wangemuozesha dada zao Kama zawadi ili awe shemeji Yao.
 
Hivi jamani watu walioko Marekani kwambie kama kuna walau mtaa mdogo unaitwa Nyerere Street au Tanzania Street? Na nadhani marekani kuna mamilioni ya mitaa

Kwa stahili hii Watanzania msijeshangaa siku moja Raisi wetu kwa ukarimu wake akaamua kubadili jina la nchi yetu, tena bila hata kuwashirikisha, na kuiita The United Republic of Barack Obama! This is what it takes to be a third world country; the intelligence of some third country leaders is just one third of those of first world countries. WHAT A PITY!!!!!!!!

Watanzania wengi hawaoneshi kutoafiki badilishabadilisha hii ya majina ya barabara kwa kuwa hawajui madhara yake. Ocean Road ni barabara iliyokuwepo kwa muda mrefu na zipo ramani na anuani nyingi zinatambua uwepo wa barabara ya Ocean Road. Kubadilishwa ghafla kwa jina la barabara hii na wanasiasa tena bila hata kuwashirikisha Wananchi ili kumtukuza Obama Kutasababisha mkanganyiko kwa wananchi na kusababisha watu, barua na mizigo inayotumwa kuelekea ofisi au nyumba za wakazi wa maeneo hayo zipotee. Pia vitabu na vipeperushi vilivyokuwa na jina la Ocean Road vitalazimika kuzibadilishwa na hii itawagharimu wahusika fedha.

Swali la kujiuliza pia ni je, hivi zile anuani za kudumu za Posta ambazo watu wa shirika la posta wakishirikiana na Wizara ya Ardhi, Nyumba na Maendeleo ya makazi walisema wanataka kuzitengeneza zikihusisha majina ya barabara na mitaa zitawezekana kama majina ya barabara yanabadilishwa kila wanapokuja marais toka nchi nyingine?
 
The curving stretch of road along the Indian Ocean behind the State House was once simply called Ocean Road. Now, a black-and-white-striped post holds a sign bearing its new name: Barack Obama Drive.

After Mr. Obama headed back to the United States on Tuesday — ending a trip to sub-Saharan Africa that also took him to Senegal and South Africa — the American flag still waved alongside the green, yellow, black and blue of the Tanzanian flag, under the ubiquitous signs with Mr. Obama’s face and the Swahili word for welcome, “karibu.”

Mr. Obama retains the kind of celebrity status here in East Africa that he once enjoyed in Europe and other parts of the world, making his visit a public event as much as an act of diplomacy. The cheering throngs welcoming him to Tanzania were much larger and louder than those he saw on the first two stops of his trip.

“Obama is like the president of the world,” said Nuhu Sandari Mohamed, 60, who was out for a stroll along the street named after the president. “The fact that he’s connected to Africa, my children and their children and their children should know.”

Couples strolled and sat by the water on Barack Obama Drive on Tuesday, as ice cream salesmen pedaled their three-wheel cycles with coolers loaded with treats. For Said Maumba, 28, Mr. Obama’s visit was the best day he had ever had selling frozen treats, like Kreemas for about 31 cents, to the throngs waiting to watch Mr. Obama’s motorcade pass.

“He’s hugely famous, and a lot of people are obsessed and just want to see a glimpse of him,” Mr. Maumba said.

Mustafah Lada, 21, who was selling a knockoff iPhone along Barack Obama Drive, was a bit more skeptical. Unlike for ice cream sales, Mr. Lada said the distraction of Mr. Obama’s visit made it harder to sell cellular phones. More broadly, he questioned whether it was ordinary people or the elites who gained the most from American engagement.
“I believe it’s good that he came here, but the benefits?” Mr. Lada said. “I think it’s those people in power who are benefiting, and we people without regular employment are losing.”

Electricity remained a paramount concern of people here, for whom it is both a quality of life and a development issue. Before leaving on Tuesday, Mr. Obama toured a once-idle power plant that was brought back to life through a partnership between American business and the Tanzanian government. Mr. Obama’s administration has agreed to spend $7 billion — and has recruited from businesses an additional $9 billion — in an effort to double access to electricity in Africa.


Evarest Makwaya, 31, a gardener, said he was grateful that Mr. Obama had promised to help bring electricity to Tanzania. “I’m touched by the fact that he launched the power plant,” Mr. Makwaya said. “That’s one of the issues affecting ordinary Tanzanians.”

He said that although there was power where he lived in Dar es Salaam, the village where he came from did not have electricity. “I cannot say I’m happy, because my siblings and my parents live in darkness,” he said.

While Mr. Obama has frequently been criticized for prioritizing other parts of the world over Africa — and for barely visiting sub-Saharan Africa as president before the trip that ended Tuesday — others said such complaints were misguided.


“We don’t expect much material gain,” said Margaret Sigale, who had just been at a hospital with her mother. “In my opinion, President Obama has no obligation to return to Africa simply because he is in a way connected,” she added, referring to his Kenyan father. “We should not make him feel he has to give anything, or has any obligation.”

“For the continent of Africa,” continued Ms. Sigale, 29, a homemaker with two daughters, 13 and 3, “President Obama will go down in history as the first black man in the White House.” Her older daughter was “very well aware” of Mr. Obama’s visit, and “was glued on TV watching.”
“Even the younger one, whenever she sees a plane, any plane, she sings: ‘That’s Obama. That’s Obama. That’s Obama.'”
