Well, I thought it was just here on Jamii Forums where we throw banters at each other but I noticed you guys use this statement too much.

Here in Kenya 'una roho mbaya' is one of those very deep statements that are only made when someone is really really mad, disappointed, let down and feeling so victimized and treated badly. It's not an everyday word that you just use over petty stuff. In fact using this statement twice in a week would raise eyebrows against you here in Kenya.

Interestingly in Tz it seems you guys really love throwing it around - especially against Kenyans. Today I spoke to a Tanzanian and within the first twenty minutes he'd already used the word. I then went on social media - on Wayne Rooney's page and saw so many Tanzanians using the word. Is it an inferiority complex or you guys are just easy to hurt?
 
None of the above
