Wahutu na Watutsi huwa hawaivi but Huyu Dunia sometimes nahisi uwa anajiover-rate sana..na ana chembe chembe za kujipendekeza na kutaka relevance katika jamii ya TZ.. Hayati wasn't having that BS..Na ni tendency ya watu wanaopenda kuabudiwa ata kama ni nobodies kudharau watu wenye mamlaka.. Sometimes I wonder how some goons here dare talk ill of others to Tarnish their image or to personally gain inches/mileages that leads you to nowhere. SHAME.Jenerali has been blubbering over and over about Magufuli. Undeniably, one thing is for sure he has got pending unsettling grudge that won't be resolved against the departed beloved President.
I used to regard him with the highest esteem during the "Rai" days not knowing who truly he was as a person. He has been speaking ill consistently about JPM but that is the beauty of right to opinion entitled to each of us, the same right on the flip side I invoke here to paint him as a weaker personality whose writings are informed more by jealous and personal interests.
They expect us to cheer no matter what shit they spill onto us.There are unconfirmed reports that loads of tons of "makinikia" with large quanties of qold are now being shipped overseas. What support does the new government want other than this kind of information to act upon?
.😷Batanzania are primitive mashauzi and nosensical kabisa!!especially those one who speaks rotten colonial masters language!
Tha's to say "De! opressers language!
they write any thing! any where in deep vocabraries jargon in order to tantalises sometimes be admired by their blacks counterparts!
Trully! Doesn't hold water even a single inch in our mind set,
So try to stop dis nosense childish game before its becoming too late......you old man. Babu jenerali!! am telling you!!You dig de point??
Yoy better be serious with your goats' farm. at your home village.
Brave indeed, why didn't he say this during disc jockey (Magu)'s error! hahahaha brave citizen of this land!
Sometimes we overrated Mzee Nyerere..he is the one who installed the so called "weak system"...Hapa Mzee Jenerali umemaliza! Nyerere alikuwa sahihi...tumeshuhudia haya kwa macho yetu kwenye utawala wa hovyo na wa kidikteta wa Magufuli.
Can you reply on the strong institutions which he mentioned that help to run the goverment? Is he wrong, elaborate on those points
Sure. Hata huu upuuzi wa kuwa na rais, makamu wa rais na waziri mkuu ni matokeo ya imposition ya Nyerere.Sometimes we overrated Mzee Nyerere..he is the one who installed the so called "weak system"...
Kwa hiyo,kwa uelewa wako hizo drama za Magufuli za kwenda Butimba kwenye here za moja miongoni mean mengi,zinamfanya awe bora? Hivyo ndio vituko vyenyewe vinavyothibitisha mapungufu yake!Yeye Jenerali ama wewe mtetezi wa unyoofu wake unaweza toa mifano ya kesi ambazo watu walifungwa kwa shinikizo la Magufuli kwa majaji kama anavyodai hapo juu?
Zaidi mimi naona yeye ndio rais wa kwanza (huenda) kwenda gerezani na kusikiliza kero za mahabusu moja kwa moja na kupelekea wengi wao kesi zao kufutwa baada ya DPP kufuata due process. Mind you hao mahabusu walikuwa gerezani miaka mingi kabla ya jpm kuwa rais.
Ulimwengu hajawahi sifu kiongozi yoyote ambaye siyo muislamu.Back in the mid-1990s a group of us who served in parliament got into the habit of meeting old man Julius Nyerere at his Msasani home in Dar es Salaam for a chitchat.
The meetings were relaxed, cordial and full of bonhomie from the great man, though he had actually summoned us to see him on a matter wherein he believed we were very wrong by the stance we had taken as legislators on issues related to the Union.
Mwalimu was at this time deep in his retirement, but he still wielded far greater influence on the thinking of Tanzanians than did incumbent President Ali Hassan Mwinyi.
At this particular time, he was thinking of the 1995 General Election which would be the first since we had embraced multiparty politics, and he was busy, on many occasions, counselling Tanzanians to choose carefully when electing a new president.
Some of us knew that he was rooting for Salim Ahmed Salim, who was at that time secretary-general of the Organisation of African Unity in Addis Ababa, but Mwalimu was sparing no effort to have him back home to run for president.
Though he did not tell our group that Salim would be the right candidate for the ruling party, he stressed the importance of making the right choice, because, he said, ‘‘our heads of state in our little countries are too important and they cannot be compared with the leaders of more developed countries”.
‘‘You see these Italians,’’ he said, pointing his index finger nowhere in particular. ‘‘They have a new government every three months (this was the pre-Berlusconi era) but there is no crisis in government. If they choose a disc-jockey, he will go to government house and dance 24/7 but government business will carry on unaffected,’’ he said, doing one of his trademark chuckles
‘‘But if you the Waswahili make that mistake, everything will come to a standstill except disco dancing, and all of you will become disco dancers,’’ he said.
‘‘This is so because the Italians have systems that work: the civil service, the parliament, the think tanks, the chambers of commerce, the security and intelligence systems, the universities and research bodies… The prime minister can go dance himself lame, but government will deliver. Not you with your failed institutions and systems,’’ he did the dramatic pause for effect. ‘‘You will all become disco dancers because you have weak, inoperative systems, and whatever the big man does and says becomes the gold standard for all.’’
Long story short, Mwalimu did not get his Salim Ahmed; second-best Benjamin Mkapa became president, and the rest is history. But Nyerere’s words have remained with me ever since, and I sometimes experience great pain when I observe how spot-on the old man was.
There is proof of that with us right now: just fast-forward from old man Julius to President Samia Suluhu this last week. She was commending officials of the anti-corruption outfit for withdrawing close to 150 cases based on trumped-up charges, and directing the police authorities to follow suit.
That the anti-corruption people can now report that they have withdrawn scores of cases they had fabricated against innocent people speaks to the evil that President Samia inherited, and calls for an investigation, at the very least.
It indicates that her predecessor, just like Nyerere’s disco dancer, got everyone dancing to his tune, basically because we have no working institutions and instead we have zombified offices whose shameless occupants will do the bidding of their unscrupulous bosses without a thought for what is just and fair.
It is a crying shame that these people, who have now owned up to causing unnecessary suffering to people who had no fault, can be left to continue in their offices, only withdrawing a hundred-something cases that were no cases at all to begin with.
How shall we compensate those who lost so many years of their freedom simply because Magufuli did not like them? And how do we make the authors of these evil deeds pay for their villainy, as a deterrent for others of their ilk who are still hiding in dark government offices but will take any opportunity given them to torture other innocent victims?
The past five years under Magufuli have been hard for many Tanzanians because the most basic rules of engagement in a civilised society were ignored at the instigation of Magufuli, who publicly encouraged his subalterns to lock up people without due process called on judges to imprison accused persons on the sole excuse that he was giving them funds to run the Judiciary.
In many parts of the country, Magufuli sent individuals with no conscience to lord over people and enrich themselves in the name of eradicating the opposition. Now, the least that can be done is to have these malefactors investigated at least on issues pertaining to their record of resource plunder and people’s rights abuses.
President Samia must know that her people are applauding her for her bold moves to “demagufulify’’ Tanzania. She should gather more courage and get more people in her corner to unearth and sweep away the disco dancers she has inherited.
And, all patriots should support her.

Bwana Mfalme your standards of best brain must be quite low. There is nothing here but regurgigation of grudges from an old vendetta. The name itself opens the eyes - Jenerali Ulimwengu - how many marks did you give to that in your best brains assessment league? The one-party system and the imperial presidency were Nyerere's creation, the UAMSHO terrorists were detained by Kikwete, the economic sabotage law is Sokoine's. To be quite sure, Nyerere and So,one and Kikwete had 109%support from the people, Maguguli much more so. We have no room for crooks and terrorists. If this maestro of yours does not know this, and you rate him so high, that means THAT is your own threshold. I think it was proved by President Mkapa that this man is not a citizen of the United Republic, he is Rwandan. He had to fill up naturalisation papers to regularise his citizenship, but by then he had been Ambassador, an MP and an RPC I believe. Hana shukurani huyu, biting the hand that feeds you. Mkapa angekuwapo angenyanganywa uraia.Kongole mzee wangu Jenerali Ulimwengu!
You are the best brain ever and a brave citizen of this land!
For benefit of the largest audience,please put this valuable post in kiswahili .
Kwa hiyo,kwa uelewa wako hizo drama za Magufuli za kwenda Butimba kwenye here za moja miongoni mean mengi,zinamfanya awe bora? Hivyo ndio vituko vyenyewe vinavyothibitisha mapungufu yake!
A president wasting his valuable time with inmates. No! This is ridiculous!
Badala ashughulikie matatizo makubwa ya nchi na Dunia yeye anahangaika na mambo madogo madogo kutafuta umaarufu kwa watu wajinga wa nchi hii!
Afya upotoshaji na hoja za kibaguzi.Ulimwengu hajawahi sifu kiongozi yoyote ambaye siyo muislamu.
We ukiwa na hofu ya majambazi kila anaegonga mlangoni kwako unamtokea na panga? Si utaonekana mtu wa ajabu.Nani asiyejua nchi ilitawaliwa na hofu(sifa kuu nchi inayotawaliwa na dikteta)? Watendaji wote walicheza mziki wa Magu kwa kuhofia nafasi zao.
Yaani wanaanzishaga story za kutunga kichwani kwao halafu baadae wanajiaminisha ndio ukweli wenyewe pasipo na ushahidi.Usikwepe hoja yangu..nilisema nipe mifano ya kesi ambazo watu walifungwa kutokana na shinikizo la Magufuli kwa majaji kama alivyodai ulimwengu na wewe ukasema daima jamaa husema ukweli. huna mfano hata mmoja na yeye hajatoa mifano zaidi ya kuandika shutuma za jumlajumla hazina ushahidi.
Suala la magu kwenda gerezani na kusababisha kesi feki za kubambikwa kufutwa ilikuwa ni counter argument juu ya yeye na wewe kusifia kufuywa kwa kesi za sasa za takukuru. Kukuonesha kwamba hata magu suala hilo keshafanya na ni yeye mwenyewe alichukua initiative kwenda gerezani ziara iliyoibuam madudu kwenye mfumo wa haki. and yet you can't give credits where it is due..
I again,stand to be counted. Jenerali Ulimwengu has the best brain among us!Bwana Mfalme your standards of best brain must be quite low.

Wrong! kwani nimesema hajawahi kosana na muislamu? Mwinyi alimbeba akampa nafasi ya u DC. Akafufua jina la Twaha! Wakati wa Mkapa akapamba moto kwa critique. Alipoingia Kikwete alisifu sana kwenye kipindi chake cha Ulimwengu on Monday, akiwa studio na Tibaijuka. Nadhani JK hakumuona kwa matumaini yake.Afya upotoshaji na hoja za kibaguzi.
Jenerali Ulimwengu alikuwa mkosoaji mkubwa wa serikali ya Kikwete,pengine kuliko raisi yeyote! Kumbe Kikwete ni mkkristo eti?
Halikadhalika,wakati wa utawala wa Mwinyi,Ulimwengu akiwa mbunge,alikuwa mkosoaji mkubwa wa serikali kwa hoja zenye masilahi kwa nchi.
Wakati mwingine,muwe mnaleta hoka zinazosimama kwa misingi ya ukweli,siyo porojo za kuchafua watu kwa hoja za uongo!
Ulimwengu bado ana chuki na aliyekuwa rafiki yake Ben na mwendazake Magu, sote tunakumbuka alivyotumia wahariri wa gazeti lake kuwashambulia Ben na Magu na hatimaye Mamvi, shida ya Jenerali ni mjivuni na kujifanya yeye ndie Alfa na Omega, bado anatabia zilezile za kwao.Back in the mid-1990s a group of us who served in parliament got into the habit of meeting old man Julius Nyerere at his Msasani home in Dar es Salaam for a chitchat.
