What is it with Tanzanians and the statement 'roho mbaya'?

NairobiWalker · Jul 14, 2017

Well, I thought it was just here on Jamii Forums where we throw banters at each other but I noticed you guys use this statement too much.

Here in Kenya 'una roho mbaya' is one of those very deep statements that are only made when someone is really really mad, disappointed, let down and feeling so victimized and treated badly. It's not an everyday word that you just use over petty stuff. In fact using this statement twice in a week would raise eyebrows against you here in Kenya.

Interestingly in Tz it seems you guys really love throwing it around - especially against Kenyans. Today I spoke to a Tanzanian and within the first twenty minutes he'd already used the word. I then went on social media - on Wayne Rooney's page and saw so many Tanzanians using the word. Is it an inferiority complex or you guys are just easy to hurt?

Hakika "MNA ROHO MBAYA"
Hamko tayari kabisa jirani yenu wa a. mashariki apige hatua yoyote kimaendeleo, yaani mna visokolokwinyo kinoma ninyi wakenya
nilidhani hizi chuki mwazifanya kwetu tu sisi wabongo kumbe hadi waganda hawana maelewano mazuri na nyie! hebu jaribuni kwa mtu mmoja mmoja kuelezana kuachana na ubinafsi wa kuona kwamba nyie ndo mwastahili kila kitu.
ubepari umewaharibia hadi na utu wa kiafrika yaani mmeakisi kila kitu toka kwa waingereza
aisee ACHENI ROHO MBAYA kwa kweli

Its just because most of Tanzanian are honesty and tunapenda kusema ukweli sasa Wewe mkenya kwa kua hupendi kuskiliza ukweli ndio maana unakuja na thread ya kujitoa akili na kutaka kuhalalisha uongo wa wakenya wanaojinasibu ,kwa sababu nyie mnapenda kujifariji na kujipa matumaini ,ila watanzania sikuiz wanawakomesha tuu ,kwenye page ya Rooney mmepewa za mbavu na uongo wenu jifunzen kujikubali mlivyo , na muipende hivyo hivyo nchi yenu iliyojangwa .....

Natamani JPM ageukie migodi ya Tanzanite awabane mbavu wachimbaji ili tuone hiyo Tanzanite ya kenya mkiiuza kwa wingi hahahaha...

It this relevant on our roho mbaya topic?

The word is actually 'loho mbaya' if you intend to speak in Tanzanian accent.

Inawezekana kweli mna roho mbaya,japo siyo wote...!!kuna mwenzenu mmoja nilimuajiri katika saluni yangu ya kike,nikampangishia nyumba ya kukaa,na alikuja hana kitu maana alikuwa ameolewa na Mtanzania,so mmewe akafariki akamuachia mtoto mdogo na allikuwa anakaa guest house,nimemchukua nimempa kazi,kafanya kazi mwezi wa tano na wa sita,akaniambia amepata msiba anaenda kwenye mazishi,kaondoka na mikoba na pafyumu za hapo saluni ambazo ni za kuuza,wiki ya pili sasa hajarudi...!hii ina maanisha ameshaniibia tayari....(naanzaje kumuita huyu ana roho nzuri?)

Ukiwa nchi yenye rohombaya sana, roho mbaya inakuwa kitu cha kawaida sana, kiasi haitambuliki mpaka ifike kiwango cha juu sana, ndiyo maana Kenya mtu kuambiwa "roho mbaya" si kitu kidogo.

Ukiwa nchi ambayo roho mbaya ni nadra na watu ni vigumu kuiona, hata vitu vidogo tu ambavyo si roho mbaya sana, vinashutumiwa kuwa roho mbaya.

Ndiyo maana Watanzania kwa sababu hawana roho mbaya na hawaipendi, kitu kidogo tu utasikia roho mbaya.

Kama Magufuli. Ana roho mbaya sana. Angetukanwa kama Kenyatta angeshaua mtu.

Making some one mad, disappointed, victimized, and treating them so badly simply means UNA ROHO MBAYA!

Go on walking in mathare!

Kuna jamaa wa kikenya aliajiriwa kwenywe company ya rafiki yangu. Kafanya kazi mwaka wa kwanza wa pili kakopa pesa na kuomba amepata shida nyumbani kwamba atakuwa anakatwa kwenye mshahara. Jamaa kaenda moja kwa moja mpaka hii leo hajaonekana. Wakenya ni wezi wana roho mbaya.

Watanzania nimeishi nao na hakuna jamii yenye roho mbaya kama hawa watu, japo wanachekeana na kuamkuana kama ndugu, lakini kimya kimya wanaoneana wivu balaa na ndio maana huwa hawaendelei wapo maskini tu. Huwa wanapenda kutuita roho mbaya kwa sababu sisi tuna hulka ya kuweka mambo wazi ilhali hao wana mazoea ya kuchekeana huku wakiwa na majungu kweli kweli.

Asikuambe kitu mtu yeyote, mimi nimewaona kwa macho yangu, kwanza wanaoneana wivu sana, Mtanzania akianza kutoka kimaisha a kufaulu kwa jitihada zake wanamsema kwa chuki za kiajabu halafu wakikutana naye wanaongea kwa raha na kistaarabu.

Nani kakudanganya?

"Loho mbaya" might have a meaning in Kikuyu or luo languages. When it comes to Swahili language it's "roho mbaya"

By the way, last time I checked, Kenyans were not lecturing us on what to say and what not to say!
