Mr. George
I think evidence to ascertain my claim that our people are poor is all over you; around you. It seems some are mis-contruing my "Mis-education" terminology. No matter how brilliant one is, if you do not use your education to save your society, you are mis-educated because one's education should be a key to saving his society.
Truly educated individual would not sign a dubious contract he knows is going to cause harm to his people. Will come back and respond to each one that has doubted my opinion
Mr. Mashaka,
The question you were trying to answer is not whether Tanzanians are poor or otherwise. You assigned yourself the task of explaining WHY. The explanation you have given and therefore your main claim is that '..we are poor because we are lazy'. This is the claim you need to back up with evidence.
Yes, your article is strong in terms of the issues you pointed out, yet weak in its fabric; its generalisation and lack of proof for a causal relationship between poverty and laziness in Tanzania's case.
