kwa stahili yetu ya utendaji wa kazi ndio maana tunakuwa na mashaka na kila mtu anayekuja nchini na kutajirika kwa kasi ilhali sisi tukiendelea kutembeza bakuli ,kuchangiana mamilioni kwenye harusi,kampuni zetu zikiendeleza kudhamini ma-miss kwa milioni huku zikikata kusomesha wafanyikazi wao.Let's keep up our culture ya kuwa na mashaka na kila tajiri kwa sababu inaonekana tushaamua kufunga mkataba na umasikini...after all you are very right,behind every great rich man lies great deeds of evil.I'm also right in believing that behind most rich men lies great deeds of pure legal hard work!hamna anayekataa kuwa huyu bwana si tajiri,wala anayepinga kuwa ni mfanya biashara maarufu na mwenye elimu lakini hayo yote haya wazuii watanzania kuhoji kama biashara zake zinaendeshwa kwa kufuata misingi ya kibiashara hasahasa kulipa KODI, pia kama mwenendo wake binafsi pia ni hatari kwa vijana wetu hasa wa kike, hatupaswi kumshabikia tuu kisa eti ni MFANYA BIASHARA MAKINI, Kumekua na tabia ya wageni wengi kupewa upendeleo katika biashara zao na dora yetu na huu ndo msingi wa watu kuhoji mwenendo wa biashara na utajiri wake,Kabla wapakstani hawajajua kama pale alipokamatwa osama yalikua makazi yake, wengi wa maeneo yale walisema ile nyumba ilikuwa inamilikiwa na mfanyabiashara mpole asiye na makuu wala bugudha kwa majilani,Kumbe ni GAIDI namba moja OSAMA BIN LADEN,kwaiyo nashauli tuepuke kuhalalisha mambo na kudharau shaka na hoja za watanzania wenzetu.
so what's your point?tuendeleze kasumba yetu ya kila tajiri ni fisadi ama freemason kwa sababu ujamaa hautaki matajiri?
Hapa sasa unilipeleka Jahazi sehemu husika.Hiyo ilikuwa ni hoteli ya nani au alinunua kutoka kwa nani?
In the "haven of peace" that is Dar es Salaam, is the Benjamin William Mkapa Pension Tower, the tallest skyscraper in this commercial capital of Tanzania that houses the famous Paradise City Hotel. The hotel is owned by a Ugandan entrepreneur, Justus Baguma, who at the height of the East African community talk in 2003, stepped on Tanzanian soil, and two years later, established the four-star hotel after leasing the multi-million US dollar complex from Tanzania's National Social Security Fund (NSSF).
"I love to serve and I love good things," Mr Baguma reveals the drive behind his hotel business. "I have lived in most expensive hotels and I always wanted to own mine, and today, I employ about 200 people in this country."
Chanced meet
On a business trip to Tanzania early this year, I booked into the 72-suite hotel, clueless it's owned by a Ugandan. On the third day of my stay, I jumped into the lift to go to my room on the sixth floor, and therein met a man who greeted me politely and asked how I was finding it at the hotel. With the ergonomic facilities I had enjoyed from day one, and the fantastic continental breakfast I had just consumed and the sweet smile of waitress that served me still etched on my mind, I found myself saying: "This place's sure a paradise away from home!"
Turns out, I was speaking to the managing director of the hotel himself! And when he learned I'm Ugandan, he shook my hand excitedly, and invited me to his office where we spoke, like long-lost-finally-reunited-buddies, on life back home.
Ingredients to success
From his unassuming and friendly disposition, it was easy to figure out why it's difficult for such a man to fail. Baguma is a "man of the people" who prefers "dealing with ordinary people because they can be trained and trusted to do a better job than professional managers that always walk out on you."
The husky-voiced hotelier was born in Mbarara, 62 years ago, and studied business at Kyambogo. In 1986, he went to the United Kingdom for a Masters degree in Business Studies.
"A rocky road to success, rags to riches –that's me," he says quietly. "I'm a self-made man. I believe in hard work. I believe in comparing notes and I believe in challenges."
The greatest ingredient to success, he said, is guts. The guts to take tough decisions, the guts not to quit when the going gets rough. Blunders characterised his early business days. "I used to get excited," he confesses, "I would involve people in all sorts of business ventures without doing thorough research. We would lose all our money and they would blame me. That was my major challenge until I decided to do it alone."
In 2001, Baguma attempted to bring McDonalds, the American fast food chain to Uganda, but it didn't work. He retreated to the drawing board and made another strategy that birthed Paradise City Hotel. He uses the metaphor of death to describe the investment mistakes from which the real business men rise to make it.
Experience has also taught him that generosity is invaluable. "Someone comes and says ‘I want to stay here, but I don't have that kind of money.' What do you do? You have workers to pay, and rent, but you look at the empty room and give him accommodation."
I find your statement to be too subjective...ni kama umesha-form an opinion about this 'JB character'.Ni sawa na mtu kukuuliza ' You look so nervous,how do you feel?'Does anybody know who is he and what is he doing in Tanzania na kama in anyway shape or form anaweza kuwa ni tatizo kwa Tanzania?
Mzee Mwanakijiji,
Kwa ufupi huyu bwana ni mganda na alikuwa mwanajeshi wakatofautiana na Museveni akaja hapa Tanzania na kuishi kwa muda na badaye alikwenda Ulaya akafanya biashara zake mambo hayakwenda sawa na akarudi tena Tanzania na ndipo akapata mwanamke wa kihaya akamuoa na ndiye wanaye mpaka sasa.
Ana pesa nyingi sana ni mfanya biashara, hizi hbr ni kutoka kwa mtu wa ndani ya familia, na huo ndo ukweli
JB ni janga kwa taifa hili....mpeni muda kidogo tu you will prove this..... mbali na hayo mambo ya down to earth ni mzinzi sana na anaharibu sana mabinti pale Quality Centre
