do you enjoy free trade btwn member states , free movement ( no visa) among member states each is complicated a lot of personal and emotional issues

Yes no visa for ecowas member state.i can decide to catch a bus to Ivory Coast today if I please

Kazikazi:
Yes Tanzanians are mixed. You were Watching dstv channel 160.Its only showcasing Tz stuffs.

I am not a Muslim.I am a Christian. Christians are majority in Tz.The authorities don't do censoring on religions.There is no official figures.

We got the figures from council of churches in Tz( CCT).All church members are registered in their churches.If you add up,it shows the Christians are more.Although when we got independence the Muslims were more.

Yes there are tribes in the hinterland which are mostly Islamic. E.g Warangi in Singida in central Tz.But all in all,most Muslim are in the coast of Tz.

Ok. The bolded interests me.
***** What could have happened to make christians more in Tanzania? Proselytism?

rvp20183:
I don't think so. I think TZ has Zanzibar - which is a large island - and has longer coastline than Kenya - hence more muslims.

Yes its true.And the The Oman sultan came and settled in Zanzibar for ages or let's say he colonized Zanzibar. So more Arabs were settled in Tanzania than any nation in east Africa.That's why Tz has Arabs and Islamic culture even in the hinterland.

Yet actors/actresses from all over Africa (especially Kenya) are celebrated when they managed to get starred in Nollywood movies.

I don't know of Kenyan actor in Nollywood.

NairobiWalker:

Why are you placing the Horn aside? Didn't you say you think Tanzania has a Swahili culture in its interior because Arabs spread Islam spread to its interior? Well, it just happens that Arabs spread Islam to the interior of Somalia. See, that's your own logic so this is your kind of argument. I like how you're finding your own argument absurd.

....and you mean they have no Swahili culture yet? See how stupid your logic works?

I am placing the Horn aside because they have quite a very unique history, civilizations and cultures from Lake Victoria East Africa. Islam came to them in a very different way.
******* As for Lake Victoria East Africa, islam came to you guys through the Arabs and the Arabs brought about swahili culture. I don't see how this is so hard to grasp.

Do native Somalis have any swahili culture?

Just as I thought. Please respect images of other women, whether Nigerian or not. Okay?

Go Check the meaning of "Honest mistake"

Who made the honest mistake? Is Wikipedia here? There's false information everywhere on the internet. Only a fool will take obvious false information and claim it's true. If me, a Kenyan, can be able to tell the building doesn't exist in Lagos then what kind of foolish are you, claiming to live in Lagos and insisting it exists?

NairobiWalker:

You are full of shit lady. You don't know a thing about East Africans, that fact is obvious. Ask and you will learn but stop pretending, you don't know $hit.

Your are crazy.Anyone can know a thing about east Africa without leaving in the area.That's why we have books and internet.

You are only living in self delusion if you ever think Kenya has more skyscrapers than tiny Lagos not to talk of the whole country. Bhuhahahaha!

According to her, she can tell between a Sukuma and a Luhya who is Kenyan and who is Tanzanian. She can tell between a Kenyan Luo and a Tanzanian Luo, She can tell between a Kenyan Maasai and a Tanzanian Maasai, she can tell between a Kenyan Kuria and a Tanzanian Kuria.

Why are your bringing your tribalism into 9ja. Igbo this, Yoruba did that, Hausa are doing this.

Could you at least stick to the title of the yhtead

He was responding to your sister Genieluv who started it. Why are you guys so hypocritical.

genieluv:


I appreciate your lengthy response . Just that it wasn't the answer to what I asked NairobiWalker.

****** NairobiWalker is trying to prove a point on how life expectancy is directly simultaneous to prosperity.

You giving any other explanations to excuse America's lower life expectancy compared to countries it's far more prosperous compared to, complete destroys the points you guys are trying to buttress on life expectancy being a direct indicator to prosperity levels... This is simple English language and logic that primary school children can understand.

Okay then, Nigeria has a life expectancy of 53 years, as you develop, the figure will drop to 30 years because life expectancy and standards of living are inversely proportional.

Bolded, I won't answer hypocritical questions because you don't really ask questions here to get informed but to argue.

Your statements are just ignorant. There isn't much difference in culture between interior Tanzanians and interior Kenyans apart from the fact that the living standards of interior Kenyans are pretty higher. If you walk around Lake Victoria, the only difference you'll see is the Kenyan side is more developed, culture is practically the same. Maasais roam both countries and many of them hold citizenship of both countries. There are Luos in both countries, Kurias in both countries. Chaggas are practically the Tanzania version of Kikuyus and Sukuma are the Tanzania version of Luhyas. Your posts reek ignorance and bullsh1t - you know Kazikazi is here to sell a narrative that the whole of Tanzania is Swahili culture due to inferiority complex. I personally love Swahili language but I don't find Swahilis superior to my ethnic group. He does. So please, save as the crap and stop asking your foolish questions and believe what you want to believe.

I didn't even know he acts there and we don't celebrate him for working there. In fact he used to be quite popular back in the day when he was on Kenyan TV.

Kenya discovered new currency

genieluv:


Thank you dear. rvp20138 & NairobiWalker obviously thought I did not know what I was saying. Perhaps Kenyans do not have access to Maisha Magic Bongo.

***** rvp20183, you asked me how do I differentiate Tanzanians and Kenyans? Well here is it.

1) The biggest feature is the ACCENT. You may think I'm trying to hate on Kenya, but no, this is the truth from my observation. Tanzanians tend to speak swahili so softly and melodiously, while I noticed Kenyans have a rougher accent.

2) I watch out for English. You hardly hear a word of English in Tanzanian movies or music, but Kenya is vice versa

3) Religion. It is very common to see women in hijab and other islamic features in Tanzanian movies.

4) Looks. It is very common to see mixed Arab looking people in Tanzanian movies.
Apart from the mixed folks, many Tanzanians just have another kind of look that I really can't explain which is very different from that of Kenyans.

Cc gallivant.

Kazikazi, can you tell me about the Chura dance where Tanzanian women twerk and shake their behinds so hard?

~~~~ Also, there is this kinda dress I notice Tanzanian women wear. It's very light in material. Like the one these women were wearing in this video below. (not that of Khadija Kopa).


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=moE_dXt6-CQ

Ouuuch what is chura dance? Just a twerk of Swahili ladies,they even do some competition on how much you can twerk.The authorities tried to ban it..

The dress is called Dela.Its selling a lot.I think it originated from India.Almost all Tz ladies have it.Yes its light,also its a bit loose and its good for any body type.

Someone told you its kanga? No.that's a lie.Kanga isn't a dress.kanga is just a wrap.most ladies knows how to wrap themselves with two or more khangas and it will be seen as a dress.khanga and kitenge are similar.khanga is light and it usually has Swahili proverbs written on it.so khanga it is like batik
Leso? No no. No. Leso is handkachief.

Funny stuff I have observed here.When it comes to poverty, the southern Nigeria always denies the northern part. But when argument about beauty stuff pops up, the northern (e. genei gal ) always denies the south. Funny heh..But when it comes to life expectancy ,the north an south are up in arms

This is so simple,check these..
1.On percentage, more Tanzanians speak swahili than Kenyans

2.More Tanzanians speak Swahili as their first language than Kenyans.

3.Swahili is the main official language in Tz followed by English.In Tanzania's schools,parliament, presidential announcements are in Swahili.While English is the main official language in Kenya.most official stuffs and schools are done in English.

4.Tanzania is the biggest Swahili speaking nation in the world

Islam spread to Somalis through the same coastal influence of Arabs.Those are the only horn of Africa Muslims the rest being Christian's.Swahili is a Bantu language with Arabic loan words.Somali language also borrowed from Arabic.Swahili is not Arabic.

The idiot can never be a Yoruba. Yoruba is a very proud race and they are very proud of who they are.

Proud ship and illiteracy are two different things. My people are not proud they are illiterate. If you have nothing you are proud. Two out of three people of my blood live in slums my blood cities at the west in africa. My blood people 152 country in the world human development index. It is not proud ship this is proper illiteracy when you are suffering you are happy. Just look I how people are running away from lagos two other african countries and you want me to be happy. The person which likes you will always tell you the truth the person who does not care about you will tell you lies and be stealing from you that is the problem with nigeria today nigerians want to hear lies and they will never get a good leader not in 10 million years
