Hey Eliakeem, we all have our own problems as countries within our borders, Tanzania is no exception, the problems may vary depending on locallity, be it land, tribalism, corruption e.t.c at the end of the day what counts is what is being done to address the problems at hand, what lessons have we learnt from the problems and the mistakes we have done.

What fascinates me is the way most of you fruits think that you are better off than Kenya.. after all the problems weve had, all the detentions, high profile assassinations, endemic corruption, civil unrest, famine etc, we still manage to hold it together, be a force to reckon with economically within this region, thats an achievement. On the other hand look at Tanzania, you've had peace, minimum corruption, large arable land but still compete with Kenya ( a country that has had poor leadership since independence). We still give you a run for your money business wise, you have a problem and need to address it, your media is not making the situation better, it makes you live in a mirage, unaware of your problems, making the population become less involved in active politics and just debate rumours from tabloids. You leave in denial and its about time you wake up and smell the coffee, you should be the biggest economy in EA, but you are being challenged by countries like Kenya and you are still shamelessly crying for more time to be at par with us. That is why you see many countries wanting to join you, simply because you can not manage all the minerals you have and all that idle land, so people want to convert that to money and develop their countries coz it seems you are not interested.
 
hii FED mbona inachelewa sana,wanaokataa tutawaburuza tuu maana hatuwezi kukubali ujinga wa wachache wasioelewa wazuie mambo ya manufaa kwa wengi

Now I got you, so your screaming for eac in order to plunder and rob our inheritance. For this note, then we are right to have negative altitude towards you and considering you as the adversaries. Coz I was thinking may be the member states (including their people) need to have somewhat win-win situation in eac, whereby each party benefit mutually.

Thanks Smatta for being candid,
but what I can say is, just wait and you'll feel the drama.

However,
Ningewashauri, fight for that huge economic descripance among your people, which is triggering the class struggle in your territory. Mungiki and the like are the product of the phenomenon.

Think on how to stop once and for all sorts of depriving your fellow kenyans. You have been devastating your fellow now and then. I heard that for you the term ''HUMANITY AND EQUALITY'' is a vocabulary. Smatta (na wenzako wote) learn how to use these terms, they are more than crucial in drawing together the nation.

Mwisho smatta, much are needed to fight against corruption. It's not enough for the herald to point out for scandal occured. only writing that there is anglo leasing or maize scandle haitoshi, bring them for trial.

Now look your fellow kyns what are screaming for. Hiyo ndiyo swala ya kuongea na wenzako mazee.

What you need is to focus on ''DISTRIBUTIVE LAND REFORM'' and NOT ''THE LAND ADJUDICATION'' THAT YOU ARE CURRENTLY DOING.

If you think the union between Tanganyika and Zanzibar is a pain, then this EAF thing will be a mega-pain.

A number of foreigners are involved in a land syndicate to rob local people of beach plots in the controversial Chembe Kibabamche/Kilifi-Jimba area, Malindi MP Mr Gideon Mung'aro has said.

The foreigners whom he threatened to name in public on Jamhuri Day on December 12 are working in collaboration with the Malindi municipal council, he said.

He warned them to keep off Malindi politics and land issues "lest they regret it soon" and instead urged them to concentrate on genuine investment.

The MP who is a member of the Parliamentary Committee on Local authorities accused the council of corruption saying it had failed to account for Sh 52 million dispatched to the council under the Local Authority Service Delivery Programme (Lasdap) during the last Financial Year.

"The committee will soon descend on the Malindi municipal council and dig out the dirt. If the Parliamentary committee on Local Authorities finds that public money was actually embezzled, no one will be spared," he said.

An angry Mr Mung'aro said if public funds will have been misused, he would ask residents to stop paying tax "to the corrupt council".

He accused the local authority of failing to mend a single road despite spending Sh 20 million recently adding that the foreigners were "deeply in the scandal".

He urged residents to demand answers to questions on the usage of public funds adding that the funds under the MP's docket had clear records to show how they were spent. He encouraged residents to visit the CDF and MP's offices to peruse documents on how funds have been used.

The MP made the remarks at Watamu Seventh Day Adventist Junior School when he helped raise Sh 177,161.50 in aid of a laboratory on Sunday. He was accompanied by five councillors.

He was reacting to reports that a section of the councillors had ganged up against him with a view to challenging him for the Malindi Parliamentary seat in 2012..

"I want wananchi to ask these councillors what they have to show for LASDAP. To me, they are a bunch of thieves and I will deal with them squarely. They had better be prepared for a real battle because I will spare none of them," he said during an interview after the meeting.

He said the councillors were being sponsored "and misused by a few Italian land brokers" out to acquire land illegally and later sell it to foreigners at exorbitant price.

"They should know that there is a Ministry of Lands Task Force working on the Chembe Kibabamche/Jimba-Gede squatter problem. Let them not interfere with the work through illegal land acquisition because they might end up losing millions of shillings like other foreigners have before them," he said.

Relationships went sour five months ago when former mayor Mr Mohamed Menza whom the MP had supported for a second term earlier, was defeated by Sabaki ward councillor Mr Samson Mapinga who was also a close ally of the MP.

A major fall-off between the councillors and the MP emerged when Mr Mapinga abandoned Mr Mung'aro after election and joined the camp of a renegade group of 10 out of the 17 civic leaders opposed to the MP.

The 10 councillors led by Mr Mapinga and Central ward councillor Mr Mohamed Aziz have been heard in several public places saying they would front one of their own to oppose the incumbent in the 2012 elections.

A secret meeting of the opponent's camp two weeks ago however, ended in disarray when some of them disagreed over the idea of nominating one candidate to challenge the incumbent. Those in disagreement stormed out of the meeting.
 
May be I am naive, or may be I am optimistic, but to simply tell us that kwa miaka 10 ya jumuiya ya Afrika Mashariki tunasherekea wimbo wa jumuia does not sit well with me. Sidhani kama tulihitaji wimbo, sioni wimbo ukisaidia kitu chochote, kama ni watu kuwa wazalendo zama za kuhamasihwa kwa nyimbo zimepita. Inaonekana hata bora ile jumuia iliyopita sidhani kwa miaka kumi all that they had ni wimbo, hawakufikiria hata issue za nyimbo kabisa.

Katika matangazo ya asubuhi leo BBC wamekuwa wakiunadi sana huo wimbo na kuelezea kuwa umechukua zaidi ya mwaka kuutunga. Sina uhakika kama tunaenda mbele au tunarudi tulikotoka.
 
Wimbo is just fine as an identity, tuko nchi 5 ikitokea shughuli zippigwe nyimbo 5!?. Nimeusikia umekaa na tune za Kikenya kama wimbo wao wa taifa, ila lazima tukubali jumuiya ni kama ndoa, lazima tukubali kusacrifice ili kukaa pamoja, kwenye hili la wimbo, tukubali wakenya wana upper hand, tusubiri bendera.
 
unaimbwa kwa kiingereza au kwa kiswahili sijawahi kuusikia?
 
Unaimbwa kwa kiswahili, nenda bbcswahili.com - amka na bbc utausikia.
 
point yangu ni kuwa hatuna kitu cha maana au pressing issues za jumuia hadi tupoteza mda mwingi eti tunatafuta wimbo wa jumuia? nafikiri wimbo au bila wimbo bado tungekuwa na identity. Angalia jumuia kama za ulaya, wimbo ni kitu cha mwisho wanafikiria, sina maana kuiga ila tuna issue nyingi tungeshughulikia.
 
Mbali na huo wimbo, je ni manufaa gani ambayo Tanzania inaweza kujifunia katika miaka hii 10 ya jumuiya?

Naona point yako hapa ni kuwa, Like a stream, the beginnings of all things are small', Nafikiri nimekupata! Thanks!
 
Kwa maoni yangu kuwepo kwa wimbo wa Jumuiya si hoja. Kosa ninalo liona mimi ni kuwa walio utunga walikuwa na oportunity ya kutunga wimbo ambao ni uniquely african, wangetumia instruments za ki-Afrika kama zeze, nzumari, nyatiti n.k.

Hapa walichofanya ni kuonyesha influence ya kigeni ilivyo jikita afrika. yaani hata kutumia vyombo vya ki-Afrika pengine hakuna aliye fikiria.

Ni maoni tu, japokuwa ningefurahi sana tungekuwa wakwanza afrika kutumia vyombo vya ki-Afrika kwa wimbo kama huu.

Nomasana, that is a reason why we are not compartible. You're too greed in such a way everything clicks your head is money regardless how this money obtained. You think money is everything and missing it is the end of the world. Now see how it haunts you. Small thing cause much havoc (can imagine a TV set inaleta yote haya)http://www.nation.co.ke/News/-/1056/687248/-/uop8oy/-/index.html.

You need to learn how to think broardly, dont be confined to money, money is not everything. Try to think about others by devising mechanism on how to solve problem like this. http://www.nation.co.ke/News/-/1056/687490/-/uopae3/-/index.html

Pesa Pesa Pesa labda kwa sababu wengi hawajawahi kushika pesa ndiyo sababu wanataka pesa. Fikiria una kabati la pesa, makabati ya pesa, unalala kwenye magodoro yana pesa una nyumba umejaza mapesa , noti baada ya noti. Bado utakufa na kuziacha hapa hapa duniani. Fikiria credit crunch imetokea USA, UK wanashindana kuchapisha manoti yao naambiwa UK wamechapisha billioni 80 lakini bado wako kwenye recession (Uchumi wao bado unadidimia) sasa haya manoti yana faida gani basi?
　
Ili uendelee unahitaji Watu, ardhi, siasa safi na uongozi bora. Sio walafi na Mafisadi wanaofikiria ukiwa na manoti basi wewe utakuwa umeendelea. Kenyans walivunja EAC wakifikiria kwamba wataendelea baada ya miaka 25 bado wako watumwa wa Waingereza hawana ardhi, yote ilinunuliwa na malkia. Ardhi ni mali ya walafi wachache.

Watanzania ni wavumilivu ndio sababu wanawaangalia tu hawa nyang'aus watakapoanza ku-act wasije kulia. Urithi wa mababu zetu sio wa kuchezea chezea kama njugu na wale wote wanaofikiri Watanzania hatufahamu kinachoendelea wajiulize mara mbili mbili bila kuhofu. Huu uvamizi ambao chimbuko lake ni mafisadi wachache wanaofikiria wanaweza kujificha kwenye jumuiya ni ndoto ya alinacha. Sheria itachukua mkondo wake na hatutatetereka kuona hilo linatokea hata kama litachukua miaka kadhaa.
 
Concentrate on resolving issue like this, rather than screaming for eac. http://www.nation.co.ke/News/-/1056/685210/-/uontyq/-/index.html

We are keen and patience on this issue because our lovely country (Tanzania) is not there for fifty years or so but for time infinity. So we avoid the history to haunt our future generation. To be blamed like Kenyatta for embracing robbery and depriving among the people of the same territory is not our culture.

So kyns perceive things at length, dont always be confined to think on capital, movement of leba, maketi, paspoti, kampanj, shares.

THIT SHOWS HOW TANZANIAN WE ARE TANZANIAN.
