Tanzanians please, i know you all love your country but honestly, you people don't see a problem that TZ, a nation with almost 100% arable land, abundant mineral resources, political stability, no ethnicity,massive land mass, very minimal corruption is still lagging behind and playing catch-up with a nation that has undergone political turmoil, massive corruption, tribalism and 2/3 of it is semi-arid, no substantial minerals..
what do you think is your problem???
Thank you so much for your honest concern about Tanzania as far as development is concerned!
We Tanzanians;Hope you are not,We are moving forward! We are not stagnant;if you trace back our economic situation far back 15 years ago and see how our economy was and how now is gaining a very positive momentum you could not say what you have said!
Development is a gradual phenomenon,not drastic one.As a country we had our priorities in the beginning.
The Late Father of our Nation his primary agenda was Peace within and Peace in our neighbouring countries and Africa at large.So all resources were dumped to establish the so called Political stability in Africa.
We helped many countries to achieve their political independence,We established Camps for freedom fighters from all over the world! By just doing that we reaped Million enemies from the Western countries! Who wished ill things for us.
Did you know that The British intended to grant Zimbabwe Independence in 2033?
Far better,Our Pragmatic leader Nyerere chose Socialism as a political philosophy to lead us toward development.
Nyerere regime never wished to see Streets with Skyscrapers,Tanzanians driving Mercedes Benz,Planes and other Material things.
He was People centred! MAN AND DEVELOPMENT.People's Health,Education,Shelters which were really important to this Day!( The population was reasonable and he achieved these things) So when you don't see Long Buildings,New Modern Cars and others luxury things don't say that we are less developed! We have our own meaning of Development Sir!
We are trying to Move swiftly! We can not accomplish all things in a single decade! we need decades,centuries and we need patience.
Tunaendelea Pole pole! Maendeleo hayawezi kuja kwa Usiku Mmoja. T
unasonga kwa mwendo wa kinyonga au Farasi ... Tunasonga.
