pun intended, i thought

very interesting thread,
chuse ningependa kujua ulijuaje wazua na mbona ukahama jamii? sijaona yeyote akitusi Tz kabla yako kuleta ujuaji hapa.


Bongo kuna madini lakini bado hamna chochote, ni uzembe ama ujinga? Kenya tuna shida zetu lakini zenu ni mingi zaidi

My observations about Tanzanians:

1. They are lazy
2. They want everything done for them, no initiative
3. They are totally dependent on donor funding, unlike Kenya
4. They hate anyone smarter than them, hence their hatred for Kenyans
5. They spend like crazy and leave behind bad loans/debts all over the place
6. English is a serious challenge, and I read the average class 8 student has class 4 speaking/writing skills.
7. Corruption is rampant, you wont believe how these guys "eat"
8. No one takes responsibility, its all the "ujamaa" crap...
9. They worship South Africans. You should see those guys walk around TZ as if they own the place, and you should see the Tanzanian on his knees paying homage to the white man. Funny!

From Jamii forum

Watanzania tulikuwa na tofauti za msingi na Uganda, lakini ni wakenya mlioamua kuvunja jumuiya mwaka 1977 kwasababu mlikuwa mnaona kuwa sie na waganda ni mizigo na mlikuwa mnajiona nyie mna uchumi mzuri mkaona bora mvunje jumuiya. Mlianza kwa kuvunja makubaliano ambayo yalionyesha kuwa kiwanda cha general tyre ambacho kilikuwa Arusha kwa ajili East Africa kisiwe na competitor kama ambavyo kulikuwa kuna viwanda vya EAC kenya havikutakiwa kujengwa Tanzania na uganda na vilivyokuwa uganda havikutakiwa kujengwa kenya na TZ. Nyie mkavunja makubaliano mkaamua kujenga kiwanda cha matairi na hivyo kuchangia kuangusha jumuiya. Lakini ujanja mwingi mbele giza, baada ya kuvunja EAC mmegundua kuwa kumbe nyie ndo mna upungufu wa rasilimali kuliko sie ndo maana mnataka tena jumuiya. Sasa tusubirini na sie tujipange ili tukiingia tushindane bila makunyanzi. Na nyie muwe wavumilivu sasa maana utukutu mlianzisha wenyewe.

I don't think natural resources lead to tangible development.

name one country that has grown as a result of abundance of natural resources, hakuna;

See the some of the top economies in the world and what has made them kings:
USA - Innovation and consumption
Japan - manufacturing and savings
Germany - efficiency
UK - trade and services
China - mass manufacturing, knocking off other peoples innovations and savings
India - IT, consumption, cost cutting.
Israel - technology
UAE - International Services centre

Now for economies with abundant natural resources:
Saudi Arabia - a retarded mornach and some of the harshest laws against its people
Congo - I have no words
South Africa - Blacks are not exactly very happy, plus strikes every month
Venezuela - Lunatic as president
Angola - Suffering from debilitating Dutch disease
Iraq - recovering

A few that have managed to utilise their abundant natural resources well are;
- Norway
- Brazil
- Australia
- Canada
