EAST AFRICAN TREATY DEBATE, AND A RESPONSE TO GITAU WARIGI, OF NATION MEDIA.
BY JOHN MASHAKA
GITAU WARIGI, of the Nation Media Group, brought into light the need for Tanzania leaders, to look beyond 20 years from now, before committing the country into the EA treaty. To describe the Dar es Salaam government as an impediment to the creation of the East African Community reveals that, Mr. Warigi, was not rational on his thinking towards the complication. He failed to employ logic on the reluctance, the ardent nature, and the need for the Tanzanians to study the pros and cons before making a decision.
Describing Tanzania as dirt poor country, whose economy is dwarfed by that of Kenya, a country whose leaders spends time strutting the world than they do in their own country, a country that lacks dynamism and skills to drive its economy forward at the pace of its neighbors, amounts to nothing than a direct insult to the Tanzanians whom he is frustrated with, and angrily courting to join the community. Insulting Tanzanian leaders (Including our Head of State) translates to insulting the wisdom of Tanzanians who elected them.
As a Tanzanian, and a patriot, I am OFFENDED. And depicting Gitau Warigi’s, commentary as personal opinion would be naivety and self deceit on the part of Tanzanians, since he is exploiting national (Kenyan) media to let his views of hatred, prejudice, myopic, and stereotype mentality be known. Mr. Warigi, is exposing some of the underlying problems Tanzanians will have to deal with incase the treaty goes through without scrutiny.
Arrogance, superiority complex, recklessness, illogical reasoning, out of scope assumptions and erratic behaviors must be thoroughly weighed before committing our country, into the community. I highly believe he (Warigi) is speaking for the corrupt Kenyan regime, and not the infringed ordinary citizens, whose voices are not represented by the self imposed rulers. Maybe he was forced serve as a mouth piece (conduit) for some forces beyond his control since he has been more or less of rhetorical than logical in his offensive towards Dar es Salaam.
While economic consequences seem to be of greater concern, our security, social, culture and political setting trepidation were neglected by our brother, a Kenyan, and an editor, who failed to address our concerns. Yes, there are benefits of forming treaties or other blocs, within different regions, and these benefits can be realized without compromising a country’s political establishment, culture, and security. Reforming tariff’s system is one of the ways; free movement of people and goods across boarders can be another one.
Mr. Warigi, needs to get his facts straight, and learn more about NAFTA before dictating to Tanzanian’s the course of action. He is failing to understand that NAFTA has been a one sided Treaty, that has simply failed!
In the United States, as economist and a friend, Gary Bollinger details, NAFTA has eliminated some 1,266,000 job opportunities-primarily for non-college-educated workers in manufacturing. Contrary to what the American promoters of NAFTA promised U.S. workers, the agreement did not result in an increased trade surplus with Mexico, but the reverse.
As manufacturing jobs disappeared, workers were downscaled to lower-paying, less-secure services jobs. Within manufacturing, the threat of employers to move production to Mexico proved a powerful weapon for undercutting workers' bargaining power.
This continent-wide pattern of stagnant worker incomes, increased insecurity, and rising inequality has emerged at a time when economic conditions have been most favorable for the success of greater continental integration. The negative effect of increasing trade and investment flows has been obscured by the extraordinary consumer boom in the United States, especially during the period from 1996 through the summer of 2000.
The boom, driven by the expansion of domestic consumer credit and a speculative bubble in the stock market, spilled over to Canada and Mexico. Their economies have now become extremely dependent on the capacity of U.S. consumers to continue to spend in excess of their incomes. As the air seeps out of that bubble, the cost of those nations' reliance on the U.S. consumer market is becoming apparent.
The wave of unskilled workers crossing the boarder into the US, from Mexico, is creating a social time bomb for the hardworking educated American population who are being taxed heavily to provide social benefits for the less educated, and unskilled migrants from Latin America. Neither France nor Germany has gained anything substantial from Slovakia, in their EU integration, AND LAND has never been an issue. While Kenyan’s were adapting their master’s language, English to be precise, Tanzanians were working towards their national Identity. And this is evident by the national language that has shunned tribalism and brought about pride not only to Tanzania, but for Kenya as well.
Kiswahili, that is, is the source our tolerance, and open-mindedness. It is the source of Tanzania brotherhood.
Many of the so-called Kenyan, semi-literate experts have nothing more than broken English in Tanzania offices, and if GITAU Warigi, feels that Kenya is more developed than Tanzania, then there is no need to cry for the Integration, because it is going to be a one sided game.
Simple mastery of a foreign language does not constitute a viable skill to be proud of.
Mind you, It is shameful to celebrate one’s cultural identity, and a form of slavery of some sort, to abandon your own for that matter. It will be prudent for Gitau, to give exact count of Tanzanians in Kenya offices to that of Kenyans in Tanzania trotting with crude and broken English.
Germans, have their own language, so are the Russians and the British. The Spanish and Italians speak their respective languages. Rwandese, Ugandans, and the Burundis both speak, Rwandese, Kiganda and Kirundi, and so are the Tanzanians.
We are proud of Kiswahili; it gives us a unique Identity as Africans and a nation.
A country known globally for her landless and landowners culture, if you will, cannot be allowed to export the pandemic to her neighbors. Tanzania will be committing a crime of a century to her people by following blindly the perilous path of privatizing her land. We cannot comprehend a situation in which the famous Kikuyu’s tycoons, owning millions of hectors of land in Tanzania, yet the “poor” Tanzanians by their definition, stacked in the replica of Mathare, Kibera, and Kariobangi slums as squatters. Land privatization is a social injustice and pandemic a country whose foundation lies on brotherhood cannot adopt.
In 2007, Kenya, exported to Tanzania, twenty hardcore robbers whom were all armed to their teeth with battle field weaponry, and ready for action. Fortunately, 14, of them were gunned down before they could wreck-havoc to the peace loving Tanzanians.
If these men had same passports or Identity cards as Tanzania’s, no one would have known their country of origin.
I am sure there are many more cross boarder cases of banditry that do not make it to the national spotlight, but meant to frustrate the peaceful Tanzanians. I assume, these are some of the benefits GITAU is rushing us to enjoy, as the fruits of his “cross-pollination.”
Peace and harmony within Tanzania, are not products of coincidence, they are fruits of tolerance; they are social and political forbearance that have evolved through so many years of hard work. Our national pride “Kiswahili” has made the country a model for peace and harmony, as it is next to impossible to identify a Tanzanian by his ethnicity. Yet in Kenya, tribal identity dictates where to do business and where not to, when you belong to a certain tribe. Pathetically it also dictates who to hire for key positions.
Kalenjins and Luos are Kikuyu’s arch enemies, and so are the Kikuyus and Luyas. We don’t want this type of culture within our borders, and I do hope leaders in Dar es Salaam, are reading the signs on the wall, while working for the best interest of the 40 million hardworking, peace loving Tanzanians. There can be integration without losing our national Identity, pride, integrity, or compromising our security. We can also maintain our political tolerance within the unity without adopting the scary land reform proposal from Kenya.
Ages when people jumped into bandwagons without critically thinking or questioning WHY, are long gone. If our Kenyan neighbors are frustrated with us, I guess that will be their business.
Tanzania is NOT a banana republic, it is a free country ruled by logic, reason, and the will of the people and our leaders cannot jump the ship without knowing where it is headed. We are for the integration, but under a conducive environment where we are going to be treated as equals.
At stake is not the mere signing of the treaty, it is the future of the 40 million Tanzanians who can not be let down out of utter ignorance. If Kenyans are unwilling to compromise, they are at liberty to replace Tanzania, her southern neighbor, with Somalia, which is poorer than Tanzania, and both of them will benefit.

Mr. Warigi, it is time to wake up from your long snooze, instead of thinking in the terms of 1961. It may have taken a long time, but we are getting there. Tanzania has changed; her youth are well exposed, new vibrant leaders with mastery of your so called language of pride (generation X) are emerging. Times to dictate to sovereign nations on how to think are long gone, and the main Impediments, and obstacles to the EAC ratification is not Dar es Salaam authorities, it is the hasty, arrogance and your erratic attitude of either you are with us, or against us!
Mungu Ibariki Tanzania!

ReplyDeleteMr Warigi Gitau is not composed, very shallow, wannabe thinker, daylight dreamer,full "Mimi ni bora" complex.
Kama Tanzania ni poor its okay, na atuachie watanzania wenyewe tupambane na umaskini wetu.
Nafikiri hata Obama mwenyewe aliona aibu sana (feel shame) aliposikia eti nchi ya Kenya imefanya public holiday eti kwa vile yeye (Obama) amechaguliwa kuwa rais wa Marekani( shame on them).
Hawa watu superiority complex itawaponza watakosa marafiki kila sehemu.

ReplyDeletees, good response to the arrogant Kenyans. I am not a regular contributor, but has been forced to contribute because of the sensitivity of the article I came across in our “jamii blog”. This is the right time to address the issue because we are waking up and seeing that we can do it.
ReplyDeleteMost of the time, people believe that country’s wealth lies on natural resources. This has proven not to be the case. The reason being that, you can have so much yet don’t know what to do with it, and other people ending up benefiting more than the country itself.
This is the case in Tanzania today. Many our riches (wealth) is being enjoyed by foreigners, and a few in the government (FISADI’S -in the ruling CCM). This is happening because we don’t have true wealth. We have poor brains.
John Mashaka, has proven to be a such a valuable ASSET, or other few of the brains we need to claim full riches. I am baffled by this Youngman’s genius mind, no wonder he was tapped to Wall-Street. He has instigated thinking among the Diaspora and has been lightning rod of envy.
I must admit, that this is a well written article, well thought, and timely delivered. These are very challenging times, which needed brains to counter the challenges. John Mashaka’s Ideas and thoughtfulness is superb; he has erased all the doubts we had about him, if at all he wrote the article
Mashaka, tumekusikia vizuri ujumbe umefika, I hope the governor, Hon: Mustafa Mkullo and the rest heard you too. Pia ningependa ushirikiane na Dr. Hildebrand Shayo (kichwa kingine) ili mtoe mwanga zaidi kwa wenzenu ughaibuni.
Umetoa darasa bila kutegemea. Mimi pia nimetokea kuwa mwanafunzi wako bila kutegemea ingawa umri wako ni sawa na wa mwanangu wa tatu. Itakuwa vyema ukianzisha darasa la wanamtandao linaloitwa Finance -101. Bisha shaka ninakuwa mwanafunzi wako
You are Tanzania’s Gold,
Michuzi Pongezi kubwa tena za dhati kwa kutupa forum ya kuweza kujadili na kusikiliza maswala ya nyumbani Tanzania.
ReplyDeleteHawa vijana wetu kusema kweli wanaamka sana, upeo wao wa kufikiri wa kutafakari maswala unatisha.
hekima kubwa kuliko serikali yetu butu ya EPA? Heti wamepelkwa mahakamani, ma kamanda wa EPA wako wapi? Ufisadi unatuuwa jamani
Kilichonipendeza ni kwamba umefungua ukurasa mpya wenye manufaa makubwa kwa ajili ya nchi yetu. Mijadala ya hivi karibuni, imetuletea matumaini makubwa, sio tu kwetu sisi wanamtandao, lakini taifa la Tanzania kwa ujumla.
Natumai viongozi wetu, wenye machungu na nchi yao, wamesoma umahiri wa vijana wetu walio ughaibuni hasa namaanisha Dr Shayo na Mwanaharakati John Mashaka. Vijana wawili ambao ni lazima warudi Tanzania.
Sioni sababu ya Uingereza na Marekani kufaidi vichwa kama hivi huku sisi tunaangaika na vitoto vya mafisadi katika kila wizara nyeti na vyeti feki. Licha ya hayo, ma TX wamejaa Tanzania, wengine wasiokuwa na elimu huku wakilipwa mamia ya mamillioni kwa mwaka. Kwa nini hizi fedha zisilipwe wakina Dr. Shayo? Hawa vijana wamekubalika,
Shayo Apewe Uchumi au Urban planning, Mashaka Apewe Fedha au Sheria, ili vichwa vyao vigongane huko kwa ajili ya walalahoi waliochoshwa na maisha pamoja na Ufisadi.
Hawa vijana wawili wameonyesha umahiri mkubwa, na itakuwa vyema wao kurudi nyumbani kuchangia katika kujenga taifa letu. Hapa tu malumbano yao yametuacha hoi, itakuwaje wakiwa katika wizara tofauti?
Nadhani wengine wasema kwamba ni watoto wadogo, wengine watasema nao ni mafisadi, lakini tufahamu kwamba, Ingawa wote ni vijana wadogo hasa Mashaka amabye nadhania ana umri wa miaka 30, nadhani enzi za kuwatazama watu kutokana na umri umepita.
Walio na umri mkubwa wamevunja rekodi kuwa mafisadi waliokubuu. EPA, RICHMOND, KIWIRA na mengine yametuchosha.
Sasa hivi muhimu ni uwezo. Wameonyesha uwezo wao, na pia wamehamasisha taifa kwa kiwango kikubwa. Hapa DAR jana jioni katika kukusanyika kwetu kuburudika, swala la hawa vijana ulizua mjadala mkubwa sana, uliochukua takribani masaa mawili.
Dr Shayo & John Mashaka, msiogope, Rudini nyumbani muitumikie taifa lenu. Jamani, watanzania inabidi tuwape vijana wetu nafasi ya kuongoza nchi,
Wadau, Nanyi pia mtoeni maoni yenu kwa maana hawa vijana wawili wametu challenge sana, na waandika ushuzi hapa mmefika kigoma sidhani yupe mwenye akili timamu atayeandika ushuzi.

I thought i will never contribute on this issue, but the article Mashaka wrote here made me feel Tanzanians should be the proudiest people in this world. We have people who are reasonable and with integrity;people who can make others see some light through the tunnel. Mashaka, let us join hands and make africans and worlds that YES WE CAN!
ReplyDeleteWrongly i might be i dont care but one should step up and tell me the truth about Obama's origin!!I tell bloggers only Tanzania in this world has got more figures in the international organizations than others.Obama might be one of them. The only thing that lets us is "caring about other more than ourselves and country". Please let come back home and shoot out people who want to shoot us.

Keshasau eeh? huko kutembea kwake nje, (Kneya sio sehemu ya jamhuri ya Tanzania) kumeleta manufaa kwao pia! Ama kweli Shukrani ya punda mateke!

ReplyDeletechakupewason
Kwanza kabisa ahsante sana Bw Mashaka kwa uchambuzi wako wa mada wa kina na "uliosimama".
ReplyDeletePili ningependa nipate msaada kidogo, labda I'm a bit naive but really, do we need to have this integration if it's not going to benefit us? Why don't we just pull out of it, and let those that need it so bad go ahead with the plan? I believe that's the best way, and when we sort out our house we can always join...
Tatu, I think it's time Tanzania did something about it's development. There are lots of intellectuals and bright young men doing wonderful stuff for other countries, simply because TZ is not conducive enough. It's time to do away with the old guard, and make sure we use the facilities provided by the developed countries to train our young men and bring them back to develop their motherland.
President Kagame was in the UK on Wednesday, and one of the things he stressed was development and retention of skills in Africa. To me it seems they have done this and are pursuing it as the means to a better country; we should do the same.
Tuamke wabongo jamani nchi yetu inakufa let's wake her up!
Aluta Continua!
Mashaka Your Greatest, the worrior of the all "openmind" people, I salute You.
ReplyDeleteThe first time i read that article of that "narrow minded" WARIGI each paragraph i crossed gave me nothing than RAGE....he is a shamless person i have ever seen on this earth...by using an official resource to insult a foreign country your neighbourhood its nothing than a terrorism...
but i was more than pleased to see that a Tanzanian Boy all the way from foreign country stood up with his own too feets and a pen in his hand crash that silly article of than stupid, good for nothing Kenyan punk... Everybody knows that Tanzanian known mostly by their decency and Solidarity.
for that case they wanted to be sure we wont be ruined by this EA communinity and that is our rights, wether they like or not...
they can go ahead if they feel so but they can not dragging us and muchless insultation.
Keep it up bro, though we are not as good as you when its comes to "Pens war" but at least you can count on us if they dare point a finger on you
God bless Tanzania, God bless MASHAKA mostly GOD bless the athentic of TAnzania People.
AMEN........
I have been following this debate keenly and as a Kenyan i feel very bad and ashamed that the Nation Media Group would allow such stupidity to be written by one Warigi Gitau.
ReplyDeleteWe certainly dont need such non-sense to be uttered out and it helps no case and no one but only builds up animosity and hatred.
I know I am one Kenyan but on my behalf I would like to offer my sincerest apologises to the great peope of Tanzania. Tanzania is a great country and should be respected.
Please i implore the wonderful people of Tanzania not to let one person tarnish the image of all Kenyans most of whom have alot of love and admiration for your great country.

ReplyDeleteGDP: Tanzania= $51 Billion; Kenya= $ 61 billion (source: CIA world factbook)
Is a $10 billion difference worth all the noise?
Kenya, you have an illusion of grandeur. As for our calm politics it's not our problem that they irritate you. When we are going to vote a new part believe me the change will be as calm as you can only dream of in Kenya.
Mashaka, you nailed it brother. I hope your comments will be used as one of our official response to Mr. Warigi's hateful rants against Tanzania.
ReplyDeleteAnd if Mr. Warigi and his pupeteers thought they'll coerce us to sign the EA treaty simply by puting that opad, then they'll be very much disappointed. Infact, the effect has been 180-degrees opposite of what they expected.
Sasa ndio hatutaki tena huo ushirikiano! Let the records show, Tanzania is PULLING OUT!!!
Duh, bwana Mashaka hii atiko yako safi sana. You took the words right out of my mouth, I couldn't put it any better!!

ReplyDeleteebwana kuuliza si ujinga. kuna jamaa wangu mkenya kaja hapa hivi karibuni anasema kenya kuwa na cell phone tu deal kubwa inakuwaje wawe matajiri tuwe masikini. hilo ndo swali langu kwa leo kwa mujibu wa huyu bwana watz wanaishi maisha mazuri kuliko wao yaani jamii kubwa ya watz wapo juu na kwao ni maskini na matajiri hakuna midle class je ni kweli??
ReplyDeletePost Mashaka's comment in kenya's newspapers or forward it to that fool Gitau Waridi. I'm sick and tired of Kenyans rational thinking that they are better than us.
ReplyDeleteTanzanians aint dumb nor fools when it comes to sovereignty and identity of our nation as far as internatinal relations is concerned. We are the ones who helped them solve there elections problems which ended into ginocide. They slaughter one another just because of tribalism ignant shit.
This fool got to sit his monkey ass down before he opens his dumb ass mouth full of ignant shit.
Wacha leo na mie nichangie nimeguswa pasipoguswa,tanzania sijui nikufananishe na kitu gani wewe thamani yako,sio usa,sweden,denmark,swiss,japan wala sio kenya,bali wee utabakia kuwa tanzania kipenzi cha moyo wangu thamani yako kwangu haielezeki.Hawa wakenya wanaotaka muungano leo si wakaungane kwanza nyie wenyewe wajaluo kwa wakikuyu???au mwadhani sie hatujui kuwa nyie wenyewe tu kwa wenyewe hamjaungana?mnataka ubaguzi wenu mtuletee sie?hakuna asielijua hilo,mkenya akiwa na biashara yake kama ni mjaluo basi kuanzia mbebaji wa hio bidhaa hadi mpakuaji na mnunuaji lazima awe kabila yake na kama kuna atakaeona huu ni uzushi aseme nimthibitishie hilo
ReplyDeleteMashaka you have spoken with a lot of gusto and machismo but you have spoken from your heart. So,I choose to ignore the loose tongued utterances insulting the integrity of my nation and nationality. I am sure you did not learn such uncivil language from our institutions of learning where your academic foundation was made. Your years of schooling in Kenya before coming to the US for higher education and career development appear to have left an ambivalent mark on you.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, the point that one shoul emphasize and keep on emphasizing is that let us all be rational. Let us stop this highly unAfrican behaviour of using foul language in public spheres.
Tanzania does not want to unite with the rest of the East Africans at the moment. This is your point.
Kenyans, as is evident in Gitau's article hold a different but not necessarily antagonistic position.
Kenyans are saying: Fine, Tanzania should withdraw its membership officially from EAC and EAF at the moment. When you are ready, you will join us. When you do not want to join us in future then we will still respect you.
WHAT we do not want from you is incessant acts of procrastination. Each time a key issue is put on the table your ultranationalistic impulses override the regional interests and leads to delays and sometimes derailing in reaching major decisions needed to form the basis for the integration and later federation.
I reiterate my position that Tanzanians should know that respect is like a super-highway-some cars move in one direction and others move in the opposite direction. Nipe nikupe. So, if you want to be respected by the region then you should be prepared to respect us. If you have national interests know that we have our own too.
EAC will hit a snag if we continue to allow Tanzania to behave in the way that it is behaving. Their behaviour in the last meeting at the EAC last week is unacceptable and they should tender in their unequivocal apologies. Failure to do should be treated as an offense and we, the rest of the region, should show them the door.
Concerned East African,

PS: John Mashaka, this issue aside, congratulation for the great work you are doing. You are truly an African son of the soil. We as the land where you received your education are proud of you as we are proud of our existential son, B. H. Obama.
It is true Mashaka makes his point and so does Warigi. I agree more with Warigi in some of his key points. Tanzanian government need to follow the selflessness of Nyerere who advocated the east african community. Many arguments on the slow moving east africa community have been based on: Tanzania is more peaceful, have better land laws, natural resources, and how their employment are going to be taken away etc. As the globalization takes its course that type of attitude will need to go. While you are debating on this Rwanda and Kenya just removed work permit for their citizens. So if you think Tanzania is better then the rest of East Africa - Goodluck with that.
ReplyDeleteBasi Watanzania wenzangu, nikiwapa historia fupi juu ya mashaka. Hawa watu wanavipaji ya aina yake. Hata huyo Obama wana uhusiano wa kiaina Fulani. Watu wa Rorya, wakina Oyombe Ayila ndio hao wakina Obama.
ReplyDeleteNi hao hao hawa watu wana vipaji vya aina yake. Na hapa tunaona ni kwa nini wazungu wamemkubali na kumpa nafasi nyeti huko wall-street. He is simply brilliant
Only 31 of age!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteJoni Mashaka, is become a Brand name. I do hope in the very near future we are going to name one of our streets after this Charismatic Youngman. He is along with Rose Migiro Asheem Thabeet some of our faces of hope. Good job Jon

Mapigo ya Joni Mashaka hayanishangazi, kwani niliyategemea kulingana na jinsi nimemesoma huyu bwana mdogo katika kipindi kifupi cha kusikia na kusoma habari zake.
ReplyDeleteYeyote mwenye machungu na nchi yake kamwe hawezi kunyamaza katika mazingira kama haya yanayoletwa na jirani zetu wakenya.
Nadhani majibu yake sasa yameturidhisha na kutupa picha kamili ya umahiri wake ambao hapo mwanzo tulikuwa na mashaka nao.
Ndio kwa sasa nitakubali kutumia neno GENIUS wetu kwani hata viongozi wetu hapa nchini wameisifia sana mchujo wake, lugha na uwezo wa kifikra na matumizi yake mazuri ya lugha.
Mashaka ni mtoto mdogo sana, kwani baba yake alikuwa mtu mngwana sana, tulikuwa pamoja Musoma Alliance hadi tulipoachana akielekea Makerere Uganda mimi nikaelekea UK.
Hawa watani wetu kwa ujumla shida yao kubwa ni ardhi na rasilimali zetu, kwa hiyo inabidi tuwe waangalifu sana
Nakumbuka hata Mwl. J. K Nyerere alianza hivi hivi ingawa kasi ya mashaka inaongezwa na vijana wenzake ambao ni wanamtandao. Huyu bwana mdogo akiendelea na kasi hii, nina uhakika atailetea taifa letu na bara letu heshima kubwa sana. Mungu ambariki mashaka wetu, na aziti kuwa rasilimali ya Tanzania

Majibu ya Mashaka ni ya kizalendo. And honestly speaking, abstracts from this guy’s response needs to be treasured somewhere in the national archives, or maybe be used on a national song of some sort. He is a HERO and a treasure for our country.
ReplyDeleteJohn, I don’t know your parents, but I know wherever they are, they are proud of you. Our nation is proud of you. Wewe kweli ni mfano wa KUIGWA. http://bongocelebrity.com/2008/04/02/kutoa-ni-moyosi-utajiri-john-mashaka/.

Kama kawaida Tanzania wanazuka wazushi wengi. Alizuka Jack Pemba na mbwembwe za kila aina, matokeo yake katokomea gizani. Siku hizi Pedezee Papa mkulukulu Jack Pemba anakaanga viazi kule kindondoni, kachoka ile mbaya. Akaja Kinje, superstar asiyekuwa na lolote.
ReplyDeleteSasa alipokuja Mashaka, kila mtu kaanza, hawa ndo wale wale, lakini muda umetuthibitishia kwamba mashaka hakuwa blah… blah…. Tulizozizoea alikuwa kweli Investment Banker & Social activist of Tanzanian origin

Hawa watu wametudharau mno, kwa hiyo hii article yako imekuja katika muda muhafaka. Viongozi wetu wasije kuwa EPA tena wakaiuza nchi yetu kwa watani wa Jadi.
Kamau,
ReplyDeleteOne of the major issues that Tanzania is refusing to accept is the open borders thing. Why? Because of security. Because in the past 8 years, acts of brutal robbery have included foreign participants. Just imagine what would happen if those borders were open and it was free for anyone to go anywhere. I think Tz is vindicated for saying no to that, at this moment. At lease until the safety issue is put to rest.
I agree, as you say that the council should expel Tz from the union, and have its own union. From the way things stand, Tz will lose nothing, the others will also lose nothing. It's win-win, right?
And lastly, I think Gitau's language is more foul than Mashaka. And if wisdom originates from where you went to school (hence Mashaka's ability as u suggest), Gitau would be wiser than the foolish perpetrator he seems to be...... We all have our problems, so live and let live!!!
To a "concerned Kenyan"
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for yor kind words.Good people do apologize to fellow people when they do wrong.Yr apology gives hope that there are good Kenyans and the insults from the article do not express the feelings of all Kenyans towards the Great Tanzania, as you called it.
God bless you and other good Kenyans, but unfortunately we urge you to understand that we are not interested in muungano,s0rry, we are doing just fine the way we are. and i wish you Kenya,Ugana,Rwanda and Burundi all the best with the Federation!

Mashaka, I just wanted to give you a congrats’ nothing more.
ReplyDeleteI have seen you as a matured and well centered person now in your writings and conversation. You have grown up to be a person who takes time to think and analyze some of the heavy problems that our country is facing now, and come up with constructive ideas if not correct responsiveness.
I knew from the start that the name Moke O. Gama from previous writing was somehow exactly you. The person who can write those words in writing was only you and there was no any way that you could keep hiding from that writing and language. I was so happy that you came forward this time and wrote in length with your signature name underneath (John Mashaka). I have read all of your articles and follow in many blogs many of your writings that I have come accustomed with your style of writings and ideas if not those mastery poetic English of yours.
Today I will just say I don’t have any complains with you as you have shown that it’s ok to disagree and still agree.

ReplyDeleteI cannot believe this boy in a thiggish shades wrote this article. He is a Genius to bring to his knees an editor from a well reputed newpaper such as nation.
J. Mashaka, you are a sensation, and this is incredible. Kikwete, I know you reading blogs. You cannot leave this boy while keeping the EPA's shame!
You have well stated; point by point and reduced Warigi to a meer bug that is so un-informed on the current global affairs.
I can remember Jon.While I was at the North Carolina Central, Jon was at at Duke University School of Law doing JD/MBA, and this was in 2004. He was a quite skinny and humbly youngman who never said much. He was always asking me questions about Tanzania, not knowing his heart was there! I am amazed by his eloquence and humility.Wakenya hawatakuwa na amani ni huyu bwana mdogo

APOLOGY FROM KENYA
ReplyDeleteAs a Kenyan, I would like to extend my apologies on behalf of my fellow Kenyans for what our brother from Nation NEWSPAPER did.Indeed his article was insulting and demeaning.
I am quite embarrased and ashamed to see such a man from my nation write scandolous article about our neighbours. The man's ideas are not every Kenyans to say the least.
We respect Tanzanians and their friendliness. Infarct you are the best neighbours we have,and can count on and would be shocked and dimsayed to see this relationship fade.
On the other hand, I must take my hut off for your Mashaka's article. It is a well thought, composed and delivered.It a piece from a genius mind that is well informed
This shows that Tanzanians have progressed gretaely. Again my brothers, please do not feel offended. These are people in tune of a regime we did not elect in the first place but in power anyway.
God bless you all, and may peace prevail between us
J. Onyancha,

We Mkenya Onyancha unasema eti Watanzania sasa tumeendelea? Ina maana tulikuwa wapi? Ninyi watu mna matatizo.
ReplyDeleteJamani Mashaka hajasema kipya, ni mkusanyiko wa mawazo na kurudia rudia pointi, hana fact hata moja. Amepiga kelele za kizalendo kweli, hamna ubishi, lakini huwezi kusema eti huu ni ujiniasi. Acheni hizo.
Au kwa kuwa kaandika Kiingereza na wengi naona hata kujibu tunakoroga?
Wakenya wao wanasifu kama kebehi na fedheha ya mambo yanavyokwenda.
Alamsiki.
kaka michuzi, wakenya wanaita bia moja obama, mbona na sisi tusiite bia moja mshaka ili kulipiza jino kwa jino? kwanza obama ni mmrakani wakati mashaka ni mtanzania
ReplyDeletewee alamsiki, inabidi urudi mama yako akakuoshe mapua. naona kichwa bado kimejaa makamasi. toka hapa na uharo wako
ReplyDeletemashaka, siyo kwamba anatoa pointi. anajibu mapigo ya mkenya. wewe umeandika nini, mbona usijibu kama kizungu unakijua, kumbafu toka zako hapa tahira. hawa ndio wasaliti mafisadi
Alamsiki anahitaji tairi shingoni na mafuta mwilini, na kiberiti juu yake. mshenzi mwenye wivu wa kike.
ReplyDeleteAlamsiki kweli akili yake imelala kama anavoaga au imeaga kabisa. ni utu kuomba msamaha, hasa ukizingatia bwana Onyancha ameguswa na kukerwa na article ya Wairigi, na hisi huyu alamsiki ni mkikuyu na anamchukia huyu mluo kwa kusema ukweli. Ni ukweli usiopingika kuwa watanzania hasa wamipakani kama waluo, wakurya, wamasai, wachaga warombo wana ndugu Kenya, kwani mipaka iliyowekwa na wakoloni haikuangalia inakatia wapi. Pamoja na hizo tofauti zetu na kutotaka kuburuzwa kwenye shirikisho tuangalie na sie tusijeingia mtego wa chuki kama uliopo Kenya. Tukumbuke mafundisho ya dini yanavyosema kuhusu jirani!
ReplyDeletevery true. mashaka ni kipenzi chetu, we must protect him by all means ncecessary. hii ni desturi za kibongo kutokukubali mema yanayotendwa na wengine. uncle mashaka, hata kama hajatoa mpya, lakini nani ameweza kukusanya points zote na kupambana na ukumbafu wa wa Warigi Mkenya? ni huyu kijana peke yake ndiye aliyejitolea libeneke kuitetea nchi yake, wakati tunawatu pale mlimani wanaojiita wasomi.

Kutawaliwa kimawazo ni kubaya sana . Yaani mu akiandika kingereza anakuwa aanaonekana yuko mahiri sana. Sioni cha kufanya mashaka alinganishwe na Obama au aonekane ana akali kupindukia. Tunataka ubishi hata kwa kindengereko na kinyamwezi. Wazungu wengi matahira na kizungu chao. Hivyo kuweni makini kidogo mnafaonya tathmini ya mambo.HUyo mkenya na huyo mashaka wote ni vibaraka tu. Kwani vipi? Mnataka muungano au hamtaki? Hatutaki kwa sababu zifuatazo.
ReplyDeleteNchi yetu ina neema na amani zaidi kuliko nchi zingine. Majirani wanataka kuifilisi nchi yetu. Bora ifilisiwe na wazawa wenywe kuliko majiarani manake huko ni kutukanana. Aliyelala usimwamshe ukimwamsha utalala wewe. Hiyo ndiyo thesis yangu hapa. Ardhi yetu tumeilalia tuamke wenyewe kabla ya kuamshwa na jirani.
Nawapinga wanaosema Mashaka ana kichwa kisicho cha kawaida sana. Hana PhD na kama anayo au yuko mbioni atuambie kachukulia/atachukulia wapi na thesis yake inasemaje. Pia hata kama mtu una PhD huwezi kuwa una utaalam wa mambo yote. Kama mnasoma magazeti ya the economist na Wall Street Journal mtaona bado ana lugha changa kwenye taaluma ya uchumi na fedha au hata fani yenyewe ya uandishi. Tatizo la hii blog ni kwamba kuna a lot of PEOPLE who feel they are intellectually inferior audience, Mnanbisha?? Kwa kutumia lenzi hiyo mtaona kuwa watu wengi wanaochangia hawaelewi vizuri lingo ya MHESHIMIWA MZEE MASHAKA INATOKA WAPI NA WANASHINDWA KUMCHALLENGE KWA LOLOTE LILE.Katika audience ya michuzi.com unatakiwa kuwa kama michuzi mwenyewe alivyo au mzidi kidogo tu.
ReplyDeleteKwani inashinda nini kusema Mkenya kachemsha sana na hajui asemalo? Mpaka uanze kutoa lecture ndeeefu ya NAFTAA na cheap economics from mashaka Street!! aha aha! Wote ni watu funny kijana wetu Mashaka na huyo aliyeponda Tanzania na watu wake. Watu kama hao wapo wengi na hawawezi kubabaisha watu wenye msimamo wao. Hatutaki subirini tulipigie kura hilo swala mwaka 2010,kura za maoni kwanza, hatuna haraka kwani haraka haraka haina baraka na upishi mwingi huaribu mchuzi.

I am reading a great similarity and parrallel reasoning btwn. him and Mwlm. JK Nyerere, during his early years in politics. i may be too assumptive, but I can only say that time will tell.

nadhani ilikuwa a matter of time, kabla vijana wa kitanzania hawajajitokeza kuonyesha uzalendo na uwezo wao na umahiri wao wa kifikra.
ReplyDeleteIngawa wengi wamekuwa wakisema kwamba mashaka siyo mtanzania ni mmarekani, siamini hilo kwa sababu kuna watu wengi wanaomfahamau tangu utotoni kwa hiyo swala la uraia tuweke kando baada ya kusoma alichokiandika ambao umeonyesha uzalendo wa hali ya juu.
Mwanaharakati huyu inabidi awe changamoto kwa wengi wa vijana wetu. na kama serikali itaweza, basi wangejaribu kumtafuta ili wamtumie kuhamasisha taifa hasa vijana walio ughaibuni katika kuleta mafanikio na tofauti kwenye jamii yetu.
kuna uwezekano wa kumpa nafasi maalum kama balozi wa vijana ili apate kwenda nchi zote waliko watanzania na kuwashawishi warudi nyumbani.
swala hili la kikenya lisiwe chanzo cha chuki bali liwe kama taswira yetu sisi kujitazama upya, vinginevyo hongera sana bwana mashaka kwa busara zako.
Balozi Mashaka, tunakutakia kila la kheri na baraka za mwenyezi Mungu uzidi kuijali na kuitetea taifa letu.

inabidi amani iwepo. mbona mnaanzisha mashakamania hapa tanzania? huyu kijana siku zote siyo mtu wa kujivuna. anachokifanya ni kuwahabarisha watanzania wenzake. hajazungumzia kingine zaidi ya kujibu matusi ya wakenya ambayo wenyewe tumeshindwa. hata na hawa ambao wanajiita wasomi mbona msichukue muda wenu kmakaa chini na kuandika vya maana badala ya kupiga makelele, mara mashaka hivi mara vile. tulizeni mapozi. Mwenye uwezo amjibu warigi siyo mashaka, duh... mtoto wa watu mtamshinda kupumua !!!!!!
ReplyDeletemungu ibariki tanzania na afrika mashariki.
nyie watu mmedata sana. mnadhani mashaka na akili yake timamu ataokota visichana kama wakina k-lyn? eti mashaka na k-lyn ni toto teksi bubu. haja waomba mmtafutie mchumba. muacheni mtoto wa watu anayewatetea nyie na vijukuu vyenu. mashaka kosa lako ni kusema haujaoa, basi watakusumbua sana kaka yangu. kimbia uoe, hata kama ni mzungu sana. pia ongera kwa kazi nzuri kuitetea nchi yetu. hacha na haya mavibaka yenye wivu
ReplyDeleteWivu unaoonyesha na wachache ni mambo ya kawaida. uzuri ni kwamba 98% wanamkubali mashaka na taifa letu kwa ujumla linamkubali.
ReplyDeletebaada ya siku moja tu wadau 74 wameshachangia, inaonyesha kwamba unakunwa vichwa. endelea, ugombee hadi urais marekani ndio watakoma
nina uhakika kwamba makala yake, yatatumika kujibu mapigo ya wakenya kupitia moja ya magazeti yetu, kwa hiyo wenye wivu na waendelee. Hongera mashaka.
Umetunyanyua watanzania wote kwa king'eng'e cha nguvu. darasa pia umetoa, mwenye kubisha na atoe yake, jina na kazi, uone kama atakavyosagwa.
muosha vikombe kwa bibi mkubwa
Ukiangalia wanaomshabikia Mashaka utagundua kitu kimoja kikubwa: Hawawezi kujieleza kwa Kiingereza wala Kiswahili.
ReplyDeleteHii ni dalili tosha kwamba washikaji wachovu vichwani. Hakuna cha ajabu kwa mtu kuamua kushambulia, tena kwa lugha ambayo haiwezi kuwekwa kwenye gazeti wala blogg ya heshima.
Kiingereza siyo akili, na hana Kiingereza cha ajabu. Tatizo watu wetu wanawaogopa Wakenya kwa kudhani wanajua Kiingereza, kwa hiyo akitokea Mbongo anayechuja mambo kwa Kiingereza wanahisi kama wamefichwa uchi wao.
Nasoma narudia, sioni hicho cha sijui kuwa genius sijui kuwa Nyerere.
Ukweli ni kwamba kwa pointi huyu kijana hamfikii Mtanzania aliyeko Uinegereza, Ngurumo, ambaye huandika kila wiki kwenye magazeti ya nyumbani.
Aidha, Mashaka hamfikii January Makamba ambaye ni Mwandishi wa Hotuba wa Rais na alisoma hadi Masters hapo hapo USA kwenu.
Mashaka, alisema anafanya kazi Wall Street lakini vijana wangu wananiambia anaishi North Carolina, ambako ni Jimbo jingine kabisa. Nadhani anafanya kazi kwenye kampuni yenye biashara Wall Street. Hii ni sawa sawa na mfanyakazi wa Breweries kusema kwamba anafanya kazi Afrika Kusini.
Sidhani kama mnanielewa. Simchukii huyu kijana, lakini tuwe wastaarabu na tuzuie hisia zetu. Wakenya wanatudharau kwa vitu kama hivi.
Naomba msinitukane, mimi ni mtu mzima kidogo jamani na ninakijua Kimombo ile mbaya ila sina makuu.
Nashukuru.
over a year ago nobody knew obama. a ayear later, he became a global sensation. this is not because he was super smart, but because he was God chosen to bring about change. I dont see why mashaka cannot simply bocome like obama. and i do know that when people talk abou you much, you are doing or you have done something. you cannot be talking about mashaka if you have not seen the signs of greatness on him, and we can only agree that he has made us proud as a country.

Blaze and rhetoric of a higher magnitude, you have sounded like a real diplomatic, defending his country against crusaders from a different country. Good job son of Tanganyika
ReplyDeletejmani shida ni nini, mbona kijana wa watu hana shida na mtu? shida ni sisi wenyewe. hao wenye akili, mbona wasitumie akili zao badala ya kubishana kutumia jina la mashaka, wasibishane na wakenya wanaotusumbua?
ReplyDeletekijana ametutetea kisawasawa na bila shaka, hii ni chuki binafsi kwa watu wanaomfahamu mashaka. wla sisi hatuwajali.
ww hapo kama una phd, basi humo kwenye kundi la watu wenye phd machizi. mashaka ni mtu wa mwanza na hana majivuno au wivu kama ww na tuta mlinda kumtetea hata na damu zetu
mashaka ni wetu na tupo nyuma yake. ameonyesha uzalndo zaidi yako ww mwenye wivu, pepo mchafu na ulaaniwe kwa jina la bwana.

ReplyDeletekwanza nitakuita mbuzi nyamafu, na uzee wako kadhalika ni taahira. ww mtoto mdogo mbona umemvalia njuga na wivu?
amekutetea ww pmoja na mke wako na wajukuu pamoja na vitukuu vyako. kama unajua kimombo basi andika uharo wako kisha tukulazimishe uule. nyie ndio masalii mafisadi kumbafu yanayohitaji matairi shingoni, mafuta mwilini na kiberiti juu yake.
hauwezi kuisaliti nchini, ikiwa wakenya wanakuchzea makalio yako, basi uzae mtoto wao urudi huko busia, ila usilete mambo za urooho mbaya za kimbwa paka hapo nyamafu weye.unanitia hasira sana. mashaka ni wetu na amepanda ngazi na wala hashuki chini kusikia kilio chako cha kisenge mwanaharamu weye. kama ww ni msomi basi usomi wako ni batili kutokana na uchizi wako. nenda cumbani kwako na hasira zako ukalie machozi ya guruwe

reading mashaka's words sends a shock wave of excitement into my being. and can only shed tears of joy and pride deep in my heart. these are the true ambassadors Tanzania can ever have. mashaka, while cleverness can be attained though years of hard work, wisdom is given by God. urs is wisdom.use ur wisdom to fight for change
ReplyDeletewell put mr ambassador. you have made us proud, for standing alone against the invaders and land grabbers. and can see you going down alone with thousands enemies slain, and the torch you have lit is going to shine for a long time for both rich and poor in our country. the mightiness of your pen will free the powerless. you are born to be a positive spirit and enlightenment. mungu na akubarki mwl. marwa
jamani hapa kuna visa. yaani huyu mtoto jinake likibandikwa hii blogu watu wanapandwa na uenda wazimu? haya naona mashaka inabidi ukaungane na ze-comedy kwa sababu hata uchumba unatafutiwa. usiguse hiyo mi-miss ni michafu nakwambia. siyo wema sepetu, siyo jokate na wala siyo nancy.waogope kama ukoma opoa mtasha utuletee hafkasti Obama jr.
ReplyDeleteWabongo are suffering from epilepsy because mashaka has knocked their heads. ngonja watapetape miguu, wakija kuchoka mashaka kashafika mwisho wa safari. Kazi nzuri mzalendo wetu. Mungu akubariki
ReplyDeletethe article in this blog leaves a lot to be desired. its plenty on vitriol, but does not itself talk at the pros and cons of why TZ is better off in not joining the EAC. it miserably fails to present a comprehensive discourse on the benfits/costs to TZ, in relation to EAC as an economic block. i am not writing to defend warigi, but i doubt the fears presented by many TZs for eschewing EAC are convincing. i understand where they come from, but i see little substance in those arguments for rejecting the EAC. the feras are irrational, misplaced and no staistical analysis seems to have been attributed to, other than appearances. the future for the entire region is better enhanced as a regional block than as individual units. the fears against Kenya, while seemingly "real" for tz, is in reality unnecessary baggage of perception that is only delaying a good future for us all. while tz have a democratic right to stay out of the EAC, or control movement of people......THIS GLOBALIZED WORLD IS MOVING ON....the faster you are prepared to play the game the better!!! maybe you will do what china did...although its borders are also fast opening! notions of patriotism, together with nonsense of "usefulness" imaginary borders are well gone! while you console yourselves that kenyans are "shut out" of TZ, ....the chinese, arabs etc are more than happy to take what you thought kenyans would take.....and worse still, you dont enjoy the ripple effects because they take the benefits too far away from you. the costs incurred in enjoying those benefits are prohibitive to you..as opposed to going to kenya, uganda, rwanda for whatever reason of betterment! please seek more data on this debate, otherwise you will drown yourselves in not-so-useful bravado that does not advance any meaningful course.
ReplyDeletekipaji hakiwezi kufichwa kwenye kivuli cha elimu, ila elimu kinaweza kukikuza kipaji. wanaobisha uwezo wa mashaka ni wajinga.
ReplyDeletewarigi ni mhariri, mashaka ni mwanasheia/mchumi lakini alivyomkanyaga warigi ni ktu ambacho siwezi kukitamka kuwa ni elimu. hii ni kipaji, huyu mtoto anakipaji cha aina yake. asante sana mdogo wetu kwa kulitoa taifa letu aibu.
mimi ni cousin wa mashaka, mademu wote wanaotaka uchumba na mashaka wasiliana nami kupitia luna_dada@yahoo.com
ReplyDeletenakumbuka nilipokua bongo kipindi fulani nilishachapa mangumi hawa wakenya mara mbili kwaajili ya nyodo na ngebe zao,mmoja nimemkuta anamtukana dada mmoja muhudumu vibaya nsana kisa wametumia tuelf 20 siku hiyo wanataka huyo dada asihudumie meza nyingine zaidi yao,nikamwambia dada simama jirani hapa akisogea kazikoga na kweli kamtego kakajibu kaja kumvuta mkono pale kwamba mbona hamsikilizi aah nikainuka nikampa dawa fasta isiwe tabu,na hiyo elfu 20 nikamlipa vilevile nikamwambia we nenda tu umekula na kunywa bure.tulipokutana next time jamaa alikua na displin ya kutosha kabisa,nimsoma huyo warigi matusi aliyotutukana yani nilikua namtafuta kama vile nimuone jirani hapa nimpe ndoo ya kufa mtu,hawa haihitaji kuongea nao sana huko bongo mliopo nao maofisini wakiwakera chapa makofi tu msiwaendekeze mbwa hawa
ReplyDeleteBravo Mr J. Mashaka,
ReplyDeleteCountry like U.S.A, U.K, Japan,.... and many other country in developed world/Civilised world VALUE people like John Mashaka. And for a country like Tanzania of course we deserve also to Value this MAN. Makala anazoandika na kama watu wetu wangekuwa wanaziweka katika Magazeti yetu ya hapa BONGO na watu wakawa wanazisoma nafikiri tungekuwa mbali sana kwenye DUNIA hii.
Forget about grant Corruption and corrupt Leaders in Higher position, if we fight this one by having people like John Mashaka idea's being published and accessed by many people, I think we can let many others bring their ideas to board.
Very few people in this world who are Brilliant like John Mashaka and that's why Country like U.S.A does not want to lose this potential asset on the Financial Market, we need him and we need his attributes or his inherent value to add to our national Economies.
Let us be realistic and not all the time optimistic on matter that touch our interest, we must learn to admit when some one has done a Tremendous job.
i have been amazed at what amount of 1) hatred against kenyans exist in this blog; and 2)the blatant un-interrogated and over-glorifying of the tanzanian writer's position against warigi. i am truly shocked. what happened to good discourse where articulate debates based on fundamentals of logic prevail? can we have data and convincing examples of statements, as opposed to them being assumed true without any supporting facts? tanzania's future within the EAC block or SADC, is not a matter of street debate without support of careful empirical data, and comparisons form elsewhere around the world. donot just jump to conclusions without seeing the evidence......"once a group of people believed the world was flat....."
ReplyDeletehuyu mashaka akiwa mbunge, na mimi pia nakuwa laisi wa merekani yote. alafu natuma askari kanzu wakatembeze bakora kwa wakenya wote wanaoiba ardhi ya tanzania. au vipi mjomba mashaka, wakileta noma, unaandika kwenye magazeti yote kuwakandia vile vile. najua mikono yako na kichwa ina zana hatazi za ku assasinate politically wale wote wanaoonea TZ wivu. au vipi. mshaka juu
ReplyDeletemzee mzima au vipi, ukiwa mbunge, mimi nipe kazi tu ya kulinda majeshi yote ya tanzania, na kkpa ulinzi ili mafisadi yote yalalae segerea kwa bibi mkubwa.
