Newspaper: Obama has Tanzanian blood

DAR ES SALAAM, Nov.1 (Xinhua) -- A local newspaper on Saturday reported that United States presidential candidate Barack Obama has Tanzanian blood flowing in him as well.

The Weekend African newspaper said in a bylined frontpage story that Obama's grandmother on his father's side had hailed from the Kowak Village in Tarime in Tanzania's Mara Region which borders southwestern Kenya.

U.S. Democratic Presidential nominee Senator Barack Obama campaigns during an election rally in Sarasota, Florida, October 30, 2008.

The newspaper quoted Philemon Sarungi as saying that he had met in Tarime some of Obama's relatives on his grandmother's side.

Kowak is a village that comes under the Rorya Constituency where Sarungi is the current member of parliament who went there for a by-election campaign only recently.

The newspaper also reported that Sarungi was once taught by Obama's father in Uganda where Obama Senior taught as one of three African teachers at the Seventh Days Adventist Church Missionary College in 1954.

hata kama ni kweli, so what?

Sasa akiwa na Tanzanian blood kipi kikubwa hapo .....Wafrika badala ya kufanya kazi tunakaa tukiota kuwa Obama atakuja kutusadia. Ahadi alizotoa kwa watu wake na credit crunch ilivyoharibu US economy sidhani hata kama atakuwa na muda wa kuhaingaika about Afrika.

wabongo nao wanataka kuleta uzushi kuwa obama anatoka tanzania kama wasemavyo wakenya kuwa kilimanjaro ni wao?

BiMkubwa · Nov 2, 2008

Mbona hiyo ya wakenya ni suala dogo sana.......wenzenu waafrika kusini wanauza tourist packages wakisema hizo packages zina-include kwenda kuuona mlima Kilimanjaro ambao hauko mbali sana na SA..............
Na kwa taarifa, wengi wa watalii wanatokea SA na deals zao kamili za kuja akuuona mlima wetu tukufu..........

I am not surprised kuhusu Obama kuwa na Tanzanian blood maana na mimi mumo kwa mumo nina blood ya kutoka sudan na pengine yemen maana kumbuka wajaluo wametokea Northern Sudan, so Kaka yangu Obama usihofu watatumia nafasi hiyo kusisitiza kuwa na wewe ni mwislamu halisi kumbuka uislamu umeshika hatamu huko North Sudan................

People can say stuff !!! wangoni wa bongo wana blood kutoka kwa wazulu, ukiwaona weupe sana basi ujue na damu ya kidachi imepitia humo, the list can go on and on

Hii haiongezi chochote, kwa kifupi hakuna walichosema hao Xinhua. Kwanza hiyo miaka inayohusika hapo hakukuwa na uraia wa Tanzania, wala Kenya wala Uganda, sote tulikuwa chini ya mwingereza, chini ya Mtukufu Mfalme George wa sita! Hiyo "Tanzanian blood" hapo hakuna.

This is scrap!!
If Obama has Kenyan, Tanzanian, Ugandan, Sudanese, Rwandan or Burundian blood what does it have to do with us???

If elected he will be and stay the president of US, why do we have to find things that link us to him?? It boring cos we should try thinking of ways to improve our lives sio kutafuta undugu wa kuvuta na kamba kwa mtu asiye na habari na sisi!!!

Let us be constructive for us to go one step ahead!!

Hizi ni dalili za kukosa kazi na kuwa short minded.

WomanOfSubstance · Nov 3, 2008

Waafrika bwana! Hawakawii kuunganisha undugu just because!
It reminds me of one Dr in the 1970s/80s - just because he was seen to be "very successful" all his tribesmen were claiming to be related to him... now that he is just an ordinary old mwananchi... "he has lost all his relatives!"

Si unakumbuka mtu fulani alisimama kujitambulisha kwenye tafrija fulani hapa Dar es Salaam na akasema hivi <I>"Mimi naitwa Tiba jirani yake Professor Mulokozi ambaye amesoma Havard na ana gorofa mbili na magari kumi na ....."</I> akashukuru watu kwa kumsikiliza na akaket....

Hii ndiyo ya ku-damunisha BO na TZ... I believe this is not correct maana ufisadi wa Marekani ni tofauti na TZ
