I've heard many times on this forum that Tanzania ''feeds us''. But everyone knows Kenya's food imports from Tanzania account for something like 0.1% of Kenya's food demand.

I've seen this climate map of East Africa, and I can make a few observations.

1. Tanzanians are super lazy.
2. Kenyans are quite hard working.
3. Kenya has like one hundredth the suitable agricultural land as Tanzania, but is ranked as more food secure.
4. Using the ratio of areas suitable for farming, Kenya would be producing enough food for Africa and the Middle East if it was the size of Tanzania.
5. Also considering that Kenya only got 6% of Lake Victoria vs Tanzania's 51%, only God knows what we would achieve with all that.

Tz is overrated!!! even from that map you can see that TZ has not got it as good as let’s say.... Uganda or South Sudan .... They have their own issues in the central part of the Country and this is a major impediment to inter connectivity of major towns and centers hence no synergy In development. I also don’t think they have as much natural resources as often gloated about in this forum.

Ni ujinga mgonjwa kujilinganisha na mgonjwa mwenzake halafu akashangilia kuwa yeye ni bora kuliko mgonjwa mwenzake.

In my poor English
It is ignorant for someone who is of poor health to compare him/herself to another person whose health is also poor and rejoice that he/she is better off than the other fellow who is of poor health.

I'm not rejoicing.
I'm just bemused. What does Tanzania do with all those acres of arable land?
 
dah ukiwa tanzania then unalalamika una njaa,kuna uwezekano wa wewe kuwepo kwenye list ya kumi bora ya vilaza duniani..
