I'm watching at 1700 subscribers.Mometization is waiting for you.I'm watching you for the first time.Im from lusaka Zambia and a RUclipsr as well. Tanzania is my most visited country because that's where we pick our cars because of the sea coast
I understand and appreciate your heartfelt comments and insights into visiting Africa, my experience drawn from many years of living and working in Africa is that Africans tick or act to a different clock an African clock. Africa is not the States or Europe or anywhere else, Africa is Africa and it is you who has to adapt and learn the subtle differences that exist not only in Tanzania but across Africa.
U r such a beautiful soul.Hope to meet u some day.Am a Tanzanian living in Dar-es-Salaam and I have bn watching yo videos for sometime now.Plz don't give up we love u.
Thank you sis much appreciated your video. Im thinking about relocating but your hinest has made me really think about the move from kigali to Tanzania honey country
Hi! Thank you so much for sharing! The Overcharging of foreigners occurs everywhere, I was born and raised in the U.S. But my parents are from the Dominican Republic. When I travel to the D.R., the people can immediately tell I'm not from there by just looking at me and up the price as well.
Very informative my sister, job well done. I am an African who lives in the USA. I agree with everything you have said. Please continue with the good work you are doing.
Very wise and insightful truths from a wise lady. Thanks for bravely and honestly pointing out the need for Diasporans to look within themselves as well, and to RECOGNIZE THEIR TRUTHS, AND TO ADJUST. Anywhere one goes, there will be 'the good, bad, and the ugly' depending on the traveler himself / herself. It helps to KNOW AND BE PREPARED TO ADJUST IN ADVANCE one's own combination of attitudes, behaviors, communication style, research, planning, flexibility, open-mindedness, patience, passion, perseverance, etc., etc. After all each country is different from the traveler's. One can never do enough preparation, research, and adjustment even when going 'home.' The shock, dissonance, and isolation apply to those born and raised in Africa when they also return 'home' after living for long periods elsewhere. Partnering patiently, humbly, and VERY carefully with locals can help. Some countries have made a BIG, coordinated effort to welcome Diasporans and encourage paths to their citizenship and contribution. Others hesitate or are poor at it because of bad and painful history with SOME foreigners, local circumstances, leadership vision, etc.
Mambo dada. Shikamo. You are on the soil indeed, but always bear in mind that you are navigating a Colony. We often marry the two, and that brings disappointment. You are in a Colony of Tanzania. The mindset and culture, although with Afrikan faces, is otherwise EUROPEAN.
This is a difficult subject for many to hear but very necessary! Meaning people are sensitive when it comes to mentioning negativity in any country. This is for diaspora to be aware of if wanting to repatriate
@@diasporaconnecttanzania3521 The majority of our Tz immigration officers are very shallow minded(I'm sorry to say it straight but that's the painful truth, I'm a Tanzanian born and bred) plus our Immigration laws don't click with the realities of the current time.
1) your hair looks natural and great! 2) I'm east African living in the US and people asked when I'm leaving all the time, from relatives to complete strangers. They just assume your merely visiting. I don't they are implying that you don't belong there. 2) The better treatment Europeans get is true, owing mainly the assumption that they richer and more likely give .not always true.
Please go to the immigration qebsite about residency permits. They do not have dual citizenship so not and option. You must pay for a residency visa and then renew every 2 years.
As a Tanzanian and Dar es salaam native, your quick review of the city and country was spot on! Am kinda surprised you didn't touch on the Swahili language, wasn't that a barrier? ...To Diaspora who wanna move to Tanzania, as she mentioned, Dar es salaam can be expensive but there are so many other options too. You should try other places and lesser-known towns, but of course that means fewer opportunities. My number one advice, especially to those moving to Dar es salaam - Always get a local you trust to show you around and orient you on both the city, culture and the people, the sooner the better.
Asante sana kaka! I am happy that you took the time to comment. The Kiswahili language was a bit of a barrier and still is in a small way but not a huge hurdle for me! I love the language and I was eager to learn it! Especially from my local brothers and sisters. It means the world to me to have Tanzanians comment and especially co-sign on what I am explaining. Welcome to Diaspora Connect Tanzania kaka!
Tanzania life can be very cheap as long as u know the place ,like me I know all the places where I can get cheap hotel as cheat as 5 dollar per night means u can live for 100 dollar the whole month in good apartment very clean n nice
Why Swahili should be a barrier? you are in Tanzania so....You gave an advice that is good one. I once went to France and when I tried to find my way using my broken English no one seemed to care they respond in French even though they could speak English
It depends! There is no set amount of money that you should have besides at least 6 to 12 months of rent. The prices are increasing since so many of us from the diaspora are here. I would say a minimum of $2000-$10,000. If you have streams of income then you can have less
In my opinion, people need a continuing stream of income no matter where they live. Plus a substantial emergency savings. I advise young adults to learn viable trades. Educate yourselves about the culture, business climate, and legal systems. Take time to learn the language and visit first. You must determine what types of businesses are most needed. Also, have money to return to your country if things don't work out.
I am a canadian originated from Democratic Republic of Congo. Really sister, you said the truth. I have some people who can be helpful to you in Dar es Salaam. God bless.
Great information! Thanks for sharing, be cause we pray a lot about moving there, and visited s few times. All you said was so clear and on target and helpful
What am honest and lovely video thank you. I definitely want to visit Africa and Tanzania sounds awesome. Can you do a video on diaspora who have made successful businesses there? Many thanks all the best on your travels.
You can see most of mzungu and Afro American investors in Arusha Tanzania,they like to live in one area for security purposes,so if you want to conclude your story,your welcome(even the friend of Martin Luther the king live in Tanzania since 1960's
Read about pete o'neal,he live in arusha since 1961,chairman of black panther,am going to provide you free room to stay,I feel to do this,he is going to give your full story,am gery,welcome
Balanced presentation. Quite frankly, whatever country anyone goes to as a foreigner, they must have permit to stay and work and those permits take long to get get and are expensive, even in the US. Foreigners are also most times asked why they're in whichever that country, and when are they going back. Americans, particularly African Americans in America ask continental Africans that all the time! Not pleasant, but just ignore such questions and pursue what took you there. Foreigners are also sometimes reminded they are strangers and reminded they're not part of the mainstream. Yes, bad behaviors by one of a few foreigners muddies the water for rest of foreigners. So it's advisable to behave well as a foreigner. Great video and good job lady. Keep it up!
My advice to my brothers and sisters diaspora to write complain to minister of Home affairs the more you complain the matter will be taken care . Those peoples who are doing it are minoritys they are braking the law.. you know diaspora know 1 thing . Our African country are working in progress all of us have to work together to make our mother land good place to live
Non-Africans (Whites, Arabs, Indians and now the Chinese) were the target of the strict immigration regulations. Tanzania, wary of its colonial past, made every effort to keep the number of foreigners in the nation as low as possible. Now that you, as diaspora Africans, are returning, it's time to make it official with the government, create a petition, and inform the administration of your plans. You may be regarded as other foreigners because you follow the same procedure as other foreigners. You haven't demonstrated any commitment, and if you have, you haven't informed the government. Tanzanians will be ecstatic to learn that you wish to return home and settle, so speak with the authorities.
Brother beleive we have yried to do that! We have brought USD here and registered businesses etc... it is up to them to acknowledge who we really are and make provisions instead of asking us, When are you going back to US! Even though we are Africans.
Is it possible to buy a plot of land to farm on? Can a retiree buy a plot. What is the smallest plot size that can be bought? How similar is Ugali to grits or cornmeal. Can ugali be prepared in different ways? Eg porridge , pancakes?
Foreigners can not buy land unless they invest. You must create a business or invest a certain amount into a company to buy lands here. You can but a condo ir townhome in Zanzibar living amongst other foreigners. You can do farming once you create a business and do everything under the business entity. Contact immigratikn about the retirement visa. I heard that they are no longer iffering that one to foreigners but i can be wrong so go online and chdck. Ugali taste like grits. Made from meal. You can make cornbread and porride with it! There are sevetal kinds. Finslly pruces for lands vary. You need a Tanzsnian tk negotiate lands for you. Everything is negotiable here. No set price
I do not understand why Tanzania is so expensive and difficult to get residence permit. I recently watch a video of a young Sister from the US who has lived i Tanzania for 8 months, but due to the treatment of women and the price of the residence permit, She has to move to Ghana. She got her residence permit after 3 months, and it cost her in all 150 USD. And 120 of it, was for Ghana Card, which every person living in the country need to have. She said it cost 4000USD just to get residence permit in TZ. I think she is called Tiffany Banner. And another Sister from england had to leave Tz due to bad treatment from uber drivers and problem getting her visa renewed. She also left and went to Ghana. After 3 months she also got residence permit. Tz needs to do something about it if not people will be moving to other African countries. This second sister is I think she is Naomi.
I saw those videos! Every country is nit accepting or acknowleding who we really are in the diaspora. They just see us as foreigners. We are under the same guidelines as other foreigners. Ghana accepted and acknowledged who we are and made provisions for us to come back. Ghana is now not an option due to the mandates so there are other countries like Zambia who just created an orgsnization just for diaspora to gain citizenship, work permits, residency etc... at lower rates than the average foreigner. We must research which Afrikan country that we want to repatriate to and understand the immigration guidelines. Tanzania does not have dual citizenship therefore we must pay a hefty price to live here. Maybe someday they will acknowledge us!
For your information, it is relatively cheaper than getting a GREEN CARD in the USA, which may cost 10k or more in visa fees and lawyers fees without guarantee COZ you may still be denied
Dar es salaam can be tricky when it comes to friends. There are a lot of opportunist.... If you get a friend who doesn't care about your money keep him/her. Good friends are hard to find even in Tanzania. I'm just happy you decided to live in Africa. Don't give up on us, we are humans.
Well said ma'am, the behavior and attitude from most of diasporas especially from America really irritate the locals,they should remember this is not America, the culture is different from theirs. They should act as us, some words from local language like Swahili here in Tanzania will make them at some point to be seen like they like it here and respect it and the people simple as that. The locals can and will assist with anything, but the behavior, they look down on us, our people are friendly they wanna connect with others, bit the behavior of foreigners to be indoors also can make you a disrespectful to the neighborhood. Tanzanians want to know how's your morning, so don't be shocked when they knock early in the morning. We don't wanna call you diaspora foreigners but, we do because most of them want us to act as if we are in America. I know a man from US relocated to Tanzania and he told me that he's amazed of how his neighbors treating him, i asked how do they treat him,he replied "they guard the house he live in and all properties around" and all of that is because he's living right with the locals and they count him as theirs. My advice to those who want to relocate put aside the authorities like immigration e.t.c locals want to be respected in terms of try to be like them in some point. Jesus went down to unwanted people nobody wouldn't have chosen, you guys came from a developed country we are developing, we socialize. Please go with the flow and you will enjoy the country.
You can apply for a income based visa at immigration. They require a certain amount of money per month. You can use your US bank account and transfer money to another bank account here. You can open an international bank account to transfer money from country to country. You can use you atm Visa card here. I do travel and business consultations. Email to to schedule a consultation
@@diasporaconnecttanzania3521 Why do our African American brothers have so problems with visa issues? Does such as Arabs, Chinese and Indians and whites have the same visa issues? Maybe Blacks from the Caribbean are not welcome.
I am african .you can stay in Africa through your offsprings born and bred within african places of worship and you striving only within your own the places of worship in peace whilst looking after people and looking after yourself as well
Don't worry.you would meet your 2000subscribers target because what you are doing is very good( making diasporans to come to Africa to experience africa/ strive in Africa and enjoy good quality of life in africa
Tanzania loves foreigners especially Black people, Speaking about being taken advantage, these people takes advantage of anyone even us Natives, as long as they notice You're not familiar with the place or something you are asking for. You should really have a barganing skills because nothing is Fixed in Tanzania, Everything can be cheap as long as you speak up and bargain the Price. Getting a job in Tanzania for a foreigner is quite easy as long as your academics are impeccable but you'll only be qualified for Private jobs especially in the industries or major companies unless you spend more time to become a fully Citizen, all you need is a work and a residence permit. Jobs that needs less or no academics pays really really low amount you wouldn't want them. You may start up your own Business, Grocery Store, Delivery Company etc to straighten up, Always cook for your own food it's very cheap and Healthy. Lastly, the Life in Tanzania is very very cheap once you're all settled, and it worths the struggle.
I'm a 76 yr old black senior, living in FL, I am in the process of selling my home, here in FL, I want to come to Africa to stay, and not to return to USA, I want a country, where I dont' have to leave every 3 months or so. I'm looking for permanent residence, I was thinking Ghana, but I was told they are getting strict there so I'm thinking Senegal, where I was told we don't even need a visa to move there, but I'm kind of used to Luxury, and I'm somewhat spoiled, I need hot water daily and don't want my electricity going off every day, can easily pay a grand a month, I guess my best bet will be to find a nice hotel
South Africa is another good option for you but they do have power cuts. Egypt might be a good option for you. There are many diaspora living there. They say it is a lot like America luxury wise
@@diasporaconnecttanzania3521 before I go to South Africa, I'll much rather say home, and face the racism I have here, South Africa still has whites running many things, whites with 10% of pop owns, 60% of the land, even have their own townships with no blacks allowed. Sound much like my neighborhood, in New Port Richey Fl, where I want to sale. I want a black country, where I can walk or worship, not a Muslim country either, cause I'm not that religious, isn't Egypt a Muslim Nation with lots of Arabs, I have nothing against Muslim, nor Arabs, but some can get awful crazy, when someone don't believe in Allah nor Jesus. I just want to be able to live in peace, without religious or racial pressure or interference. Another thing, I wonder how can I get my money every month from american banks, wonder would they still deposit my social security retirement and my VA Disability Checks in Banks in Africa, it would be scary there, if I can't get my monthly funds, I'll starve to death or be homeless, which I've never been
Foreigners can not buy land unless they create a business or through investments. Prices are all negotiable! From buying land once you invest in the country to purchasing a home under the busoness.
Karibu sana. I am a Tanzanian. I advice you atleast to learn some tips of Swahili language, this will help you to have a bargaining power in all your purchases. That's how we leave in our Country which sounds a little bit weird. In US you don't have to bargain when buying your stuffs. And please find a trusted local person whom you can associate with when you go for your shopping. Be blessed
@ sawadi ndunguru You are correct, learning the language may help in bargaining. But you are wrong when you said in the US you DONT have to bargain when buying stuff. Who told you that? Everything bought in the US does not have a definite price. In some instances and with some things, one does need to bargain or negotiate. Like buying a car old or new, ,buying or renting a house or an apt, performing work for someone. Depends on what and where it is. In NYC for example, in lower Manhattan bargaining with the Jewish merchants selling clothing, electronics, jewelry etc is/was a normal thing. In all fairness though, 80% of the time, prices for goods and services are clearly marked or known in the US. Now I just shared with you something that was different than what you said. Sometimes there is a need to bargain in the US. So maybe everyone else who is criticizing this sister unjustly ( NOT YOU ) can cut her some slack. All she is doing is advising people who may not be familiar with how some things work in Tanzania vs where they come from. Instead of assuming ( NOT YOU ) that she is simply whining or complaining, try to see how her information would be valuable to someone wanting to know about what to expect. Think about it. If a Tanzanian went to the US and learned some of the things that are not so good about being in a particular area of the US, and shared that information with other Tanzanians, would you ( NOT YOU ) claim they were whining? No. you would understand that they are only reporting their experience in the US. Thats not putting down the whole country. They are just giving others information on what they might expect. So try to cut the sister some slack. Shes not doing anything different than what anyone else would do if they were reporting/advising their experience in a foreign country. At least she was honest about the bad behavior that some Americans bring to Africa which she said she didnt like that either. Was she whining when she said that? How come nobody claimed she was whining when she made that statement about how some Americans behave? She told her truth. Just like she told her truth in some of the ways some Tanzanians may treat foreigners. That truth wasnt welcome, but the truth about Americans everyone is quiet? Why?
This is my first time viewing, trying to help her sister get 2000. However I do disagree about assimilating it is not a one-way Street. If African Americans all returning to the continent to invest they will not take abuse from anyone. With respect it has nothing to do with a two parent household. Africa needs to be more concerned about paying reparation for what they did.
Well I have never been to the African Continent; however, I am praying that I have that opportunity in the next year to do so but regrettably as an African American we are hated whether Africans come to America or whether we come to the Continent. So, I am not surprised that African Americans continue to experience self hate on the continent. A racist white person or Chinese person are more tolerated on the African Continent. I have seen where Chinese Supervisors or bosses beat African workers and they seem to tolerate that behavior but they will persecute African Americans who have a different cultural expression. Africans are on high alert towards African Americans who do less harm in terms of physical abuse, racism, exploitation and isolation. With that being said, I do appreciate and respect the beauty of Africa and I pray that more unity will continue to happen between Africans and African Americans. We need to stop lecturing only or ostracizing African Americans because some Africans feel “some kinda way” or have hate against African Americans or they have some sense of moral superiority against African Americans.
Thanks for your input and for viewing my content. We must as African Americans also take accountability for our own behavior. We can not control how others see us but we can change the negative views of ourselves by being the example in how we live and operate when we come to Afrika.
I am your new fan... I think the way you put the Ugly did not come out correctly. You need to understand the culture of the place. We Kenyans are treated the same when we go to Tanzania... its normal for anyone going to Tanzania, the country is more conservative than any other east African country, Learn more about UJAMAA system. My Tanzania can confirm the Same. Its not about you being treated different because you speak different but because you are not from Tanzania. East Africans generally don't have racism the way people in America know it. Its the culture that is different and an American trying to fit herself/himself straight from America. Having lived both in America, worked in Tanzania and Home being in Kenya. I know the way my brothers here in America are treated may trigger the same resentments they have gone through, For sure what you brought up is very true but you need to understand the way of living in Africa is not the same as being in first world country. Talking of being charged more because of being a foreigner its normal everywhere... ask international students who study in USA, H1B workers some of the fees they pay are not the same. Its about the culture and norms that differ so great that one may think they are treated differently.
Sister anataka kutufundisha Government yetu, hakuna anayekubagua dada fata sheria za nchi ya Tanzania kama wenzako utaishi maisha mazuri, ona hapo unapangisha na vyumba kwa $400 nani analipa hiyo pesa kubwa wakati monthly salary ya normal worker ni $45 a month , Wamarekani ndugu zetu mkija muwe mnakuja na kuheshimu sheria zetu msitufanye sisi hatujui
It's not so much about being "broke" as it is... other cultures have difficulty reconciling the fact that maybe we earn more in the US/UK but we also have a higher cost of living. We're too prideful to live 2 families deep... and we can't live off the *fat of the land* should we not be able to pay for essential microservices 🙃
Ugali is made from grounded maize meal, It is normally eaten as a main meal like lunch or dinner with different accompaniments like green vegetables, meat, fish, chicken and so on. Chapati is made from wheat floor just like tortillas and can also be eaten with the above accompaniments. We eat more or less the same foods in Kenya as our brothers and sisters in TZ. Unfortunately you are not considered as Africans and that is the sad truth because many people from East Africa especially the younger ones do not really know your history, to them your are just like any other foreigner.
Wee ndugu tusijishushe hivyo, yaani tubadilishe sheria za nchi yetu kwa sababu Dada etu kasema? Uliona wapi unaenda nchi ya watu unalalamika kwenye RUclips na anatokea Mwananchi eti anaenda kuongea na Raisi? Wabongo mna mambo 🤣🤣🤣
Let me tell you why many Africans consider you to be foreigners when you show up on the continent. I grew up and schooled in Kenya and the the thing that struck me most about the curriculum is that *Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade* is barely mentioned. Barely! Also, the curriculum completely ignores the crucial parts of African-American history such as *The American Civil War* , *Jim Crow era* , *Malcolm X* and *Civil Rights of 1964* . Basically, many Africans don't have a full understanding of who you are and what you've been through. Another reason is the fact that most Africans are tribal and don't think as a group as ya'll do in America and the Caribbean. Simply put, they lack what you'd call "Black Consciousness".
I hear syster! So sad, so sad! In US i got same treatment in Oakland Calif, by my own called black brothers. I was doing my studies and work part time at 7-11 gas station. Brothers came in their and with my accent some and not but majority were ugly in their mouth! So sad why we treat each other like that!! Am sorry to say! But systers were ok! I have a lot to share. But generalization thing ain't ok! Sorry for your ugly and bad experience! Enjoy and educate!! :)))
I can not agree more but I did not have a business in US but I created one in Tanzania. I felt more motivated and inspired being here on the continent. In US, I was content to work for others until I retired from that company.
I for one dont agree on the ugly first part say on the part of being over priced, its not only directed to black diasporas but to a particular class of people even white blacks or even Tanzanians who belong to such high class experiences that, anyone who portray himself certain ways gets that. The trick here is to learn swahili quickly or bargain for everything you want to buy. Business in Tanzania is always what you explain, Tanzanians are not industrious businesswise because our government for 20 years after independence had very few citizens in private sector why it was highly discouraged by government policies 95% of the population was in peasant agriculture activities and remaining percentage were both in public sector by large and very few in private sector ..... even amongst ourselves partnering in business has been a difficult challenge but things are changing fast for good
The truth of the matter. In Tanzania and especially where she lives does not necessarily require bargaining or negotiating for everything. The truth of the matter the reason why a lot of the people in certain places are struggling and have to resort to those tactics in how they discriminate against foreigners, is because they are not raised or taught the value of providing the type of customer service that would make a person want to come back again. Instead a lot of people are raised and trained to think about getting whatever they can in the moment. Many dont act like they care about the future, or the feelings or concerns of the people who are their customers. See in the US, Americans are very often accustomed to being supervised to make sure everyone is treated the same level of respect. With respect and with dignity. Thats how you build business connections and relationships, regardless if negotiating and bargaining is involved. But when people experience a business person who only thinks about making a sale, with no regard to the customers experience, thats why many folks who think like that are so far behind. Bad attitude breeds bad business practices. And many hate the foreigner who points out those weakness when it comes to doing business. Just because something is a habit doesnt make it the best way of doing things. Part of growing is learning that there may be a better way. The difference in a good taxi driver in Tanzania and another one that wont get any repeat business is in the business mindset. How one driver cares about their customers experience. And how that customer may call on that driver in the future, and even refer that driver to his friends and family. But another driver, his goal is to over charge just so he can get paid more just because they perceive the customer as being able to afford to pay more. IMO that behavior is not culture. Thats just stupidity and greed that has been passed down from generation to generation. The good thing is, not all Tanzanians think like that. Many make their good character and good service their brand

I'm a retired American 70 this year in November 2024. I have been in Cameroon for 7 years since 2017. Married a Cameroonian woman. We have 2 small farms, so my retirement income is high considering the economics here. But Thus President here is 91 and a real dictator who actually pays himself 1 million USD yearly. Biden receives $400,000 salary to put things in perspective. So this dictator is trying to force his son as the next President of Cameroon, which the people are against and say they are sharpening their spears and machetes and they will go to war. So I have chosen Dar Es Salam as a place to run to. My income is 4million Tanzanian Schillings per month. My wife is 20 years younger than me knowing 5 languages fluently. No children is Tanzania a good choice to run to if war breaks out here? I think so as I'm not facing having to work for income. What is your opinion on my income and being comfortable there for maybe a few years if need arises?
Tanzania is a great choice for you. You can live nicely here. Very peaceful, natural. No wars. We have a small diasporan community here even though we do our own things. We and the locals have a good relationship and we work together. It is a good things. You would love it here.
Move to Arusha or Moshi there are so many of yo kind ( foreigners), the locals are more fond of tourists/foreigners….. life will be much easier, plus try to learn the swahili language so u can cope with everything, plus find a local friend whom u can trust 2 assist you…. POV; Arusha and Moshi are the best places 4 yo diaspora since there’s a lot of tourists
About people asking asking why your hear and when are you going to live ?ithink that kind of question you can find in any other country you will visit ,my self ihave travel a bit and everywhere else ivisited they will ask me what are you doing here and for how long that is normal and what makes you to come here . And about the Migration ithink they have to reduce price a bit.But believe me is not easy for Tanzania or African to move to Amerika Europe or else where without no souce of income its actually even togert Visa self it is another hard issue,let me ask you simple question without me having good financiall is it easy for me to move to Jamaica and live there ? .Idont think in first place iwill be welcoming . About the rent of six month that is the system of the Country even we Tanzania Citizen are paying the same and we are use to it as part of our life . Ithink it is the way of system for example if you want to rent apartment in Europe has to be payed advance of same amount before moving in and that can be around thousand of Pound or Euro that is a part of the system of those Countrys.As a Tanzanian if iwant to travel to Amerika or Europe the first thing the Embassy will ask me Bank statment so dont think Tanzanian is doing mean about Visa or stay parmit. You have talk about payment of six month that is distabin you!but at the same time your profiting more than the owner of the house 😊 let say your renting for five hundred thousand for a month or four ,then your doing B&B and collecting money for each room that means your getting more than the Land load .Mean while in the lease contract is not allowed to do that in my concern in that case you should'nt complain about that six month payment mean while your bennefiting after all,igess if you get a person you will ask a month rent for one room ?.
All these things mentioned in the video is for diaspora coming to understand how things work here. Not just complaining, just stating the obvious! It is my job to prepare those who want to repatriate or visit from the diaspora. Allowing them time to decide if Tanzania ia a long term sekection over other Africsn countries.
Don't call the ugly in USA black people still treat african like crap I don't know your point cos people still have to make living nobody knows, I think you have been unfair
@cyborg Matumula Dont you realize both have been guilty of treating each other like crap? Enough people from the USA are guilty of treating Africans like crap, and also enough Africans , Jamaicans, Haitians etc have done the same to people in the USA. But lets stop this generalizing. Not all people from the USA treat all Africans, Jamaicans, Haitians etc like crap, and not all Africans treat all people from the USA like crap. In other words the display of showing ignorance is not based on whether you are African or American.
Ppl of the diaspora need to stop being so judgy about others from the diaspora. We are not all the same and need not live up to anothers standard of behavior. Please stop caring about how africans born in africa view us. They been not giving af about us so stop trying to impress them with your good behavior. WE ARE NOT THEM... THEY ARE NOT US. I left America 6 years ago and haven't returned for half of that, so i know about making it somewhere else; assimilation is not the key. It's most important to accept yourself first and then accept everyone else not trying to change them not having them change you
I respect your opinion and thank you for your response. My point is that if we are considered foreigners in any country that we want to live in, we must adjust and accept the culture in that country, otherwise we should just stay in the US. Not judging but presenting facts!
@@diasporaconnecttanzania3521 sis I respect your reply and your post. My comment here is not addressed to you directly. I see a bunch of these videos and have heard RUclipsrs again again talk about their disapproval of others from the diaspora as well as those soft tone words about African approval. I'm addressing that generally. As it's often said we are not foreigners but are Africans returning. Therefrom I can't see the need to adjust to someone else's like and dislikes. That's different from adjusting to the culture and societal norms. I offer the fact that continental Africans do not move to America and look to "adjust," but rather hold tight to their differences.
@@k.o.y.stands7001This is my experience and my opinion based on living in Tanzania Africa for 4 years this year. This video is for those in the diaspora who are interested in visiting , repatriating or doing business in Tanzania. Not a debate!
I come from this part of our planet and know so well. People from east africa are not sensitive about slavery because we did not go through in historic in large we read as tale story so tz and partners countries in the eastern africa not really considered about diaspora so to my point of view tz is a nice place to be in to live your life but similarity of colour does not work in tz. East Africa is another world but may be Rwanda can play much role. West Africa is place for your kind.
I value your opinion and thank you for commenting. However to the contrary of you thinking that , “ My Kind” is in West Afrika, not so! I have been told that i look like Chagga in Moshe and several other tribes in Tanzania! All due respect but East Afrika has mostly Bantu tribes which i am Bantu as well! It does not matter if they are taught about the slavery that took place in Bagamoyo and Zanzibar, Prison Island! One must research beyond what we do not know or understand! This is why we are coming here. To help teach our people our story! Including ypurself!
AU NEED TO SORT OUT THE ISSUE OF TREATING AFRICAN AMERICANS AS FOREIGNERS….WE NEED TO EMBRACE, LOVE AND ACCEPT AFRICAN AMERICANS AS 100% AFRICANS AND GENUINELY ONE OF US.
As someone who is Tanzanian, I would love to do any business with you. Thanks my sister and please feel at home, IN TANZANIA.
I’m so glad you stated we are the 6th Region of Africa… the Diasporans. Love your channel Sis! Asanté Sana!
Thank you for watching!
I'm watching at 1700 subscribers.Mometization is waiting for you.I'm watching you for the first time.Im from lusaka Zambia and a RUclipsr as well.
Tanzania is my most visited country because that's where we pick our cars because of the sea coast
In the Missisippi, New Orleans area you have Ugali, it is made from the shorter corn and is known as "Grits".
I understand and appreciate your heartfelt comments and insights into visiting Africa, my experience drawn from many years of living and working in Africa is that Africans tick or act to a different clock an African clock. Africa is not the States or Europe or anywhere else, Africa is Africa and it is you who has to adapt and learn the subtle differences that exist not only in Tanzania but across Africa.
Oh I am happy to know ugali is grits because I love them. Especially with scrambled eggs.
ugali is really not grits. Ugali has a completely different consistancy and takes on the taste of what you are eating it with.
Great content. Very helpful information 👍🏾
Thank you!
The best way to enjoy Africa is to have some kind of income like pension where you don’t have to rely on any kind of job while living there.
I created a business which helps with income and other thibgs
U r such a beautiful soul.Hope to meet u some day.Am a Tanzanian living in Dar-es-Salaam and I have bn watching yo videos for sometime now.Plz don't give up we love u.

Hi! Thank you so much for sharing! The Overcharging of foreigners occurs everywhere, I was born and raised in the U.S. But my parents are from the Dominican Republic. When I travel to the D.R., the people can immediately tell I'm not from there by just looking at me and up the price as well.
I am realizing that.
You're so pleasant to watch. And I appreciate your information.
Thank you
Love the video! Please keep doing what you're doing!
Interesting video sis. 1 year + on the motherland, you have frequency attuned to the rhythm. You will flourish.
From Cleveland, OH. Thinking of relocating to the mother continent, this was very helpful. You are beautiful, by the way.
Thank you!
Great vlog today and I've seen several videos on Tanzania 🇹🇿 and it's absolutely beautiful country
Very informative my sister, job well done. I am an African who lives in the USA. I agree with everything you have said. Please continue with the good work you are doing.
Thank you!
Very wise and insightful truths from a wise lady. Thanks for bravely and honestly pointing out the need for Diasporans to look within themselves as well, and to RECOGNIZE THEIR TRUTHS, AND TO ADJUST. Anywhere one goes, there will be 'the good, bad, and the ugly' depending on the traveler himself / herself. It helps to KNOW AND BE PREPARED TO ADJUST IN ADVANCE one's own combination of attitudes, behaviors, communication style, research, planning, flexibility, open-mindedness, patience, passion, perseverance, etc., etc. After all each country is different from the traveler's. One can never do enough preparation, research, and adjustment even when going 'home.' The shock, dissonance, and isolation apply to those born and raised in Africa when they also return 'home' after living for long periods elsewhere. Partnering patiently, humbly, and VERY carefully with locals can help.
Some countries have made a BIG, coordinated effort to welcome Diasporans and encourage paths to their citizenship and contribution. Others hesitate or are poor at it because of bad and painful history with SOME foreigners, local circumstances, leadership vision, etc.
Thank you. Hey, your hair is beautiful ❤️.
Mambo dada. Shikamo. You are on the soil indeed, but always bear in mind that you are navigating a Colony. We often marry the two, and that brings disappointment. You are in a Colony of Tanzania. The mindset and culture, although with Afrikan faces, is otherwise EUROPEAN.
Thank you so much for the highlights, asante sana for the way you clarified issues.
Keep it up sister.
This is a difficult subject for many to hear but very necessary! Meaning people are sensitive when it comes to mentioning negativity in any country. This is for diaspora to be aware of if wanting to repatriate
Is not difficult just your headline doesn't match with explanation does sound like Tanzania is a very bad country
@@cyborgmatumula650 it is not bad but very challenging to reside there
@@diasporaconnecttanzania3521
The majority of our Tz immigration officers are very shallow minded(I'm sorry to say it straight but that's the painful truth, I'm a Tanzanian born and bred) plus our Immigration laws don't click with the realities of the current time.

Thank you!
Thank you for this very thoughtful and honest nest video.
Thank you Sister for your advice and Information.
1) your hair looks natural and great!
2) I'm east African living in the US and people asked when I'm leaving all the time, from relatives to complete strangers. They just assume your merely visiting. I don't they are implying that you don't belong there.
2) The better treatment Europeans get is true, owing mainly the assumption that they richer and more likely give .not always true.
Are you Black?? ...
Wanda, thanks for the brief introduction. I will like to get more information on residency short and long term and citizenship.
Please go to the immigration qebsite about residency permits. They do not have dual citizenship so not and option. You must pay for a residency visa and then renew every 2 years.
As a Tanzanian and Dar es salaam native, your quick review of the city and country was spot on! Am kinda surprised you didn't touch on the Swahili language, wasn't that a barrier? ...To Diaspora who wanna move to Tanzania, as she mentioned, Dar es salaam can be expensive but there are so many other options too. You should try other places and lesser-known towns, but of course that means fewer opportunities. My number one advice, especially to those moving to Dar es salaam - Always get a local you trust to show you around and orient you on both the city, culture and the people, the sooner the better.
Asante sana kaka! I am happy that you took the time to comment. The Kiswahili language was a bit of a barrier and still is in a small way but not a huge hurdle for me! I love the language and I was eager to learn it! Especially from my local brothers and sisters. It means the world to me to have Tanzanians comment and especially co-sign on what I am explaining. Welcome to Diaspora Connect Tanzania kaka!
Tanzania life can be very cheap as long as u know the place ,like me I know all the places where I can get cheap hotel as cheat as 5 dollar per night means u can live for 100 dollar the whole month in good apartment very clean n nice
Why Swahili should be a barrier? you are in Tanzania so....You gave an advice that is good one. I once went to France and when I tried to find my way using my broken English no one seemed to care they respond in French even though they could speak English
@@MrNdanguza Hello, do you have any places you would recommend?
Come to merge with the locals live with them start a small business..it is cheap life in Tanzania .you can live on a dollar a day

It was an honor
I am a Jamaican living in the USA and would love to move there permanently please advise as to how much cash I would need.
Life is same anyway in this world it depend how you spend a month also is life you live high class or middle class or lower class
It depends! There is no set amount of money that you should have besides at least 6 to 12 months of rent. The prices are increasing since so many of us from the diaspora are here. I would say a minimum of $2000-$10,000. If you have streams of income then you can have less
In my opinion, people need a continuing stream of income no matter where they live. Plus a substantial emergency savings. I advise young adults to learn viable trades. Educate yourselves about the culture, business climate, and legal systems. Take time to learn the language and visit first. You must determine what types of businesses are most needed. Also, have money to return to your country if things don't work out.
Am Tanzanian living in Dar es salaam Tanzania i can assist you very well
I am a canadian originated from Democratic Republic of Congo. Really sister, you said the truth. I have some people who can be helpful to you in Dar es Salaam. God bless.

You can see them in Arusha,most of foreigners invest in this area,
I appreciate your honesty it's important
Very interesting ❤
You can see most of mzungu and Afro American investors in Arusha Tanzania,they like to live in one area for security purposes,so if you want to conclude your story,your welcome(even the friend of Martin Luther the king live in Tanzania since 1960's
This is information for those in the diaspora who are interested in repatriating back to Afrika. Specifically Tanzania.
Read about pete o'neal,he live in arusha since 1961,chairman of black panther,am going to provide you free room to stay,I feel to do this,he is going to give your full story,am gery,welcome
Balanced presentation. Quite frankly, whatever country anyone goes to as a foreigner, they must have permit to stay and work and those permits take long to get get and are expensive, even in the US. Foreigners are also most times asked why they're in whichever that country, and when are they going back. Americans, particularly African Americans in America ask continental Africans that all the time! Not pleasant, but just ignore such questions and pursue what took you there. Foreigners are also sometimes reminded they are strangers and reminded they're not part of the mainstream. Yes, bad behaviors by one of a few foreigners muddies the water for rest of foreigners. So it's advisable to behave well as a foreigner. Great video and good job lady. Keep it up!
Best of luck

My advice to my brothers and sisters diaspora to write complain to minister of Home affairs the more you complain the matter will be taken care . Those peoples who are doing it are minoritys they are braking the law.. you know diaspora know 1 thing .

Non-Africans (Whites, Arabs, Indians and now the Chinese) were the target of the strict immigration regulations. Tanzania, wary of its colonial past, made every effort to keep the number of foreigners in the nation as low as possible. Now that you, as diaspora Africans, are returning, it's time to make it official with the government, create a petition, and inform the administration of your plans. You may be regarded as other foreigners because you follow the same procedure as other foreigners. You haven't demonstrated any commitment, and if you have, you haven't informed the government. Tanzanians will be ecstatic to learn that you wish to return home and settle, so speak with the authorities.
True
True
Correct!
Brother beleive we have yried to do that! We have brought USD here and registered businesses etc... it is up to them to acknowledge who we really are and make provisions instead of asking us, When are you going back to US! Even though we are Africans.
More and more videos im expected on this channels
I have many videos for you to watch. You are welcome!
My Dada dont give up
I wont! I love this country so much!
Is it possible to buy a plot of land to farm on? Can a retiree buy a plot. What is the smallest plot size that can be bought? How similar is Ugali to grits or cornmeal. Can ugali be prepared in different ways? Eg porridge , pancakes?
Foreigners can not buy land unless they invest. You must create a business or invest a certain amount into a company to buy lands here. You can but a condo ir townhome in Zanzibar living amongst other foreigners. You can do farming once you create a business and do everything under the business entity. Contact immigratikn about the retirement visa. I heard that they are no longer iffering that one to foreigners but i can be wrong so go online and chdck. Ugali taste like grits. Made from meal. You can make cornbread and porride with it! There are sevetal kinds. Finslly pruces for lands vary. You need a Tanzsnian tk negotiate lands for you. Everything is negotiable here. No set price
I do not understand why Tanzania is so expensive and difficult to get residence permit. I recently watch a video of a young Sister from the US who has lived i Tanzania for 8 months, but due to the treatment of women and the price of the residence permit, She has to move to Ghana. She got her residence permit after 3 months, and it cost her in all 150 USD. And 120 of it, was for Ghana Card, which every person living in the country need to have. She said it cost 4000USD just to get residence permit in TZ. I think she is called Tiffany Banner. And another Sister from england had to leave Tz due to bad treatment from uber drivers and problem getting her visa renewed. She also left and went to Ghana. After 3 months she also got residence permit. Tz needs to do something about it if not people will be moving to other African countries. This second sister is I think she is Naomi.
Because it is paradise!
I saw those videos! Every country is nit accepting or acknowleding who we really are in the diaspora. They just see us as foreigners. We are under the same guidelines as other foreigners. Ghana accepted and acknowledged who we are and made provisions for us to come back. Ghana is now not an option due to the mandates so there are other countries like Zambia who just created an orgsnization just for diaspora to gain citizenship, work permits, residency etc... at lower rates than the average foreigner. We must research which Afrikan country that we want to repatriate to and understand the immigration guidelines. Tanzania does not have dual citizenship therefore we must pay a hefty price to live here. Maybe someday they will acknowledge us!
For your information, it is relatively cheaper than getting a GREEN CARD in the USA, which may cost 10k or more in visa fees and lawyers fees without guarantee COZ you may still be denied
What's interesting is all the videos saying come to TZ and invest, but seems they make it difficult for you to stay 🤔
Follow the rules, pay your dues, that's all, we the people we sweat to make our country paradise, pave your way in, nothing is free!
What a lovely, beautiful woman ❤.

Dar es salaam can be tricky when it comes to friends. There are a lot of opportunist.... If you get a friend who doesn't care about your money keep him/her.
Good friends are hard to find even in Tanzania. I'm just happy you decided to live in Africa.
Don't give up on us, we are humans.
I have made a few solid connections. The key for me was discernment and a lot of time
Well said ma'am, the behavior and attitude from most of diasporas especially from America really irritate the locals,they should remember this is not America, the culture is different from theirs. They should act as us, some words from local language like Swahili here in Tanzania will make them at some point to be seen like they like it here and respect it and the people simple as that. The locals can and will assist with anything, but the behavior, they look down on us, our people are friendly they wanna connect with others, bit the behavior of foreigners to be indoors also can make you a disrespectful to the neighborhood. Tanzanians want to know how's your morning, so don't be shocked when they knock early in the morning.
We don't wanna call you diaspora foreigners but, we do because most of them want us to act as if we are in America.
I know a man from US relocated to Tanzania and he told me that he's amazed of how his neighbors treating him, i asked how do they treat him,he replied "they guard the house he live in and all properties around" and all of that is because he's living right with the locals and they count him as theirs.
My advice to those who want to relocate put aside the authorities like immigration e.t.c locals want to be respected in terms of try to be like them in some point. Jesus went down to unwanted people nobody wouldn't have chosen, you guys came from a developed country we are developing, we socialize. Please go with the flow and you will enjoy the country.
Is it possible to retire in Tanzania by transferring our Social Security and Calpers to the banking system there?
You can apply for a income based visa at immigration. They require a certain amount of money per month. You can use your US bank account and transfer money to another bank account here. You can open an international bank account to transfer money from country to country. You can use you atm Visa card here. I do travel and business consultations. Email to to schedule a consultation
Good video.
Thank you!
How do Tanzanians treat other people from Africa and the Caribbean? I am from the Caribbean and just change my mind to visit Tanzania
Really good. They may get overcharged for things just as other foreigners
@@diasporaconnecttanzania3521 Why do our African American brothers have so problems with visa issues? Does such as Arabs, Chinese and Indians and whites have the same visa issues? Maybe Blacks from the Caribbean are not welcome.
my sister
I am african .you can stay in Africa through your offsprings born and bred within african places of worship and you striving only within your own the places of worship in peace whilst looking after people and looking after yourself as well
Yes looking after people but not close to african public locals
But not close to african locals apart from your places of worship people. .I am african
Don't worry.you would meet your 2000subscribers target because what you are doing is very good( making diasporans to come to Africa to experience africa/ strive in Africa and enjoy good quality of life in africa
You are also been very direct about what you want from your audience and putting it to your audiences about all necessary Processes to worth by you
Tanzania loves foreigners especially Black people, Speaking about being taken advantage, these people takes advantage of anyone even us Natives, as long as they notice You're not familiar with the place or something you are asking for.
You should really have a barganing skills because nothing is Fixed in Tanzania, Everything can be cheap as long as you speak up and bargain the Price.
Getting a job in Tanzania for a foreigner is quite easy as long as your academics are impeccable but you'll only be qualified for Private jobs especially in the industries or major companies unless you spend more time to become a fully Citizen, all you need is a work and a residence permit.
Jobs that needs less or no academics pays really really low amount you wouldn't want them. You may start up your own Business, Grocery Store, Delivery Company etc to straighten up, Always cook for your own food it's very cheap and Healthy.
Lastly, the Life in Tanzania is very very cheap once you're all settled, and it worths the struggle.
Thanks for the advice! Blessings!
Ugali is like grits in America or tortilla in South America
I'm a 76 yr old black senior, living in FL, I am in the process of selling my home, here in FL, I want to come to Africa to stay, and not to return to USA, I want a country, where I dont' have to leave every 3 months or so. I'm looking for permanent residence, I was thinking Ghana, but I was told they are getting strict there so I'm thinking Senegal, where I was told we don't even need a visa to move there, but I'm kind of used to Luxury, and I'm somewhat spoiled, I need hot water daily and don't want my electricity going off every day, can easily pay a grand a month, I guess my best bet will be to find a nice hotel
South Africa is another good option for you but they do have power cuts. Egypt might be a good option for you. There are many diaspora living there. They say it is a lot like America luxury wise
@@diasporaconnecttanzania3521 before I go to South Africa, I'll much rather say home, and face the racism I have here, South Africa still has whites running many things, whites with 10% of pop owns, 60% of the land, even have their own townships with no blacks allowed. Sound much like my neighborhood, in New Port Richey Fl, where I want to sale. I want a black country, where I can walk or worship, not a Muslim country either, cause I'm not that religious, isn't Egypt a Muslim Nation with lots of Arabs, I have nothing against Muslim, nor Arabs, but some can get awful crazy, when someone don't believe in Allah nor Jesus. I just want to be able to live in peace, without religious or racial pressure or interference. Another thing, I wonder how can I get my money every month from american banks, wonder would they still deposit my social security retirement and my VA Disability Checks in Banks in Africa, it would be scary there, if I can't get my monthly funds, I'll starve to death or be homeless, which I've never been
@@diasporaconnecttanzania3521 Where are the Diasporas in Egypt?Can you direct me there? I havent found any here as of yet.
😊👍🏽
My God over charging is something that I noticed in Africa and China .
Talk a little bit about land ownership and house Prices for foreigners please.
Foreigners can not buy land unless they create a business or through investments. Prices are all negotiable! From buying land once you invest in the country to purchasing a home under the busoness.
Karibu sana. I am a Tanzanian. I advice you atleast to learn some tips of Swahili language, this will help you to have a bargaining power in all your purchases. That's how we leave in our Country which sounds a little bit weird. In US you don't have to bargain when buying your stuffs. And please find a trusted local person whom you can associate with when you go for your shopping. Be blessed
@ sawadi ndunguru You are correct, learning the language may help in bargaining. But you are wrong when you said in the US you DONT have to bargain when buying stuff. Who told you that? Everything bought in the US does not have a definite price. In some instances and with some things, one does need to bargain or negotiate. Like buying a car old or new, ,buying or renting a house or an apt, performing work for someone. Depends on what and where it is.
In NYC for example, in lower Manhattan bargaining with the Jewish merchants selling clothing, electronics, jewelry etc is/was a normal thing. In all fairness though, 80% of the time, prices for goods and services are clearly marked or known in the US.
Now I just shared with you something that was different than what you said. Sometimes there is a need to bargain in the US. So maybe everyone else who is criticizing this sister unjustly ( NOT YOU ) can cut her some slack. All she is doing is advising people who may not be familiar with how some things work in Tanzania vs where they come from.
Instead of assuming ( NOT YOU ) that she is simply whining or complaining, try to see how her information would be valuable to someone wanting to know about what to expect.
Think about it. If a Tanzanian went to the US and learned some of the things that are not so good about being in a particular area of the US, and shared that information with other Tanzanians, would you ( NOT YOU ) claim they were whining? No. you would understand that they are only reporting their experience in the US.
Thats not putting down the whole country. They are just giving others information on what they might expect. So try to cut the sister some slack. Shes not doing anything different than what anyone else would do if they were reporting/advising their experience in a foreign country.
At least she was honest about the bad behavior that some Americans bring to Africa which she said she didnt like that either. Was she whining when she said that? How come nobody claimed she was whining when she made that statement about how some Americans behave? She told her truth. Just like she told her truth in some of the ways some Tanzanians may treat foreigners.
That truth wasnt welcome, but the truth about Americans everyone is quiet? Why?
This is my first time viewing, trying to help her sister get 2000. However I do disagree about assimilating it is not a one-way Street. If African Americans all returning to the continent to invest they will not take abuse from anyone. With respect it has nothing to do with a two parent household. Africa needs to be more concerned about paying reparation for what they did.
Well I have never been to the African Continent; however, I am praying that I have that opportunity in the next year to do so but regrettably as an African American we are hated whether Africans come to America or whether we come to the Continent. So, I am not surprised that African Americans continue to experience self hate on the continent. A racist white person or Chinese person are more tolerated on the African Continent.
I have seen where Chinese Supervisors or bosses beat African workers and they seem to tolerate that behavior but they will persecute African Americans who have a different cultural expression. Africans are on high alert towards African Americans who do less harm in terms of physical abuse, racism, exploitation and isolation. With that being said, I do appreciate and respect the beauty of Africa and I pray that more unity will continue to happen between Africans and African Americans.
We need to stop lecturing only or ostracizing African Americans because some Africans feel “some kinda way” or have hate against African Americans or they have some sense of moral superiority against African Americans.
Thanks for your input and for viewing my content. We must as African Americans also take accountability for our own behavior. We can not control how others see us but we can change the negative views of ourselves by being the example in how we live and operate when we come to Afrika.
I am your new fan... I think the way you put the Ugly did not come out correctly. You need to understand the culture of the place. We Kenyans are treated the same when we go to Tanzania... its normal for anyone going to Tanzania, the country is more conservative than any other east African country, Learn more about UJAMAA system. My Tanzania can confirm the Same. Its not about you being treated different because you speak different but because you are not from Tanzania. East Africans generally don't have racism the way people in America know it. Its the culture that is different and an American trying to fit herself/himself straight from America. Having lived both in America, worked in Tanzania and Home being in Kenya. I know the way my brothers here in America are treated may trigger the same resentments they have gone through, For sure what you brought up is very true but you need to understand the way of living in Africa is not the same as being in first world country. Talking of being charged more because of being a foreigner its normal everywhere... ask international students who study in USA, H1B workers some of the fees they pay are not the same. Its about the culture and norms that differ so great that one may think they are treated differently.
Thank you for your view and point. I have a new way of looking at things. I appreciate it!
Sister anataka kutufundisha Government yetu, hakuna anayekubagua dada fata sheria za nchi ya Tanzania kama wenzako utaishi maisha mazuri, ona hapo unapangisha na vyumba kwa $400 nani analipa hiyo pesa kubwa wakati monthly salary ya normal worker ni $45 a month ,
Wamarekani ndugu zetu mkija muwe mnakuja na kuheshimu sheria zetu msitufanye sisi hatujui
It's not so much about being "broke" as it is... other cultures have difficulty reconciling the fact that maybe we earn more in the US/UK but we also have a higher cost of living. We're too prideful to live 2 families deep... and we can't live off the *fat of the land* should we not be able to pay for essential microservices 🙃
Ugali is made from grounded maize meal, It is normally eaten as a main meal like lunch or dinner with different accompaniments like green vegetables, meat, fish, chicken and so on. Chapati is made from wheat floor just like tortillas and can also be eaten with the above accompaniments. We eat more or less the same foods in Kenya as our brothers and sisters in TZ. Unfortunately you are not considered as Africans and that is the sad truth because many people from East Africa especially the younger ones do not really know your history, to them your are just like any other foreigner.
I'm organizing to meet with president of TANZANIA soon. And we will fix it .
Thank you so much! We would appreciate all that can be done to assist
Wee ndugu tusijishushe hivyo, yaani tubadilishe sheria za nchi yetu kwa sababu Dada etu kasema? Uliona wapi unaenda nchi ya watu unalalamika kwenye RUclips na anatokea Mwananchi eti anaenda kuongea na Raisi? Wabongo mna mambo 🤣🤣🤣
Beautiful
Let me tell you why many Africans consider you to be foreigners when you show up on the continent. I grew up and schooled in Kenya and the the thing that struck me most about the curriculum is that *Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade* is barely mentioned. Barely! Also, the curriculum completely ignores the crucial parts of African-American history such as *The American Civil War* , *Jim Crow era* , *Malcolm X* and *Civil Rights of 1964* . Basically, many Africans don't have a full understanding of who you are and what you've been through.
Another reason is the fact that most Africans are tribal and don't think as a group as ya'll do in America and the Caribbean. Simply put, they lack what you'd call "Black Consciousness".

Start with business in the US, after that you can come continuing the business
I can not agree more but I did not have a business in US but I created one in Tanzania. I felt more motivated and inspired being here on the continent. In US, I was content to work for others until I retired from that company.
@@diasporaconnecttanzania3521 Ok...

I for one dont agree on the ugly first part say on the part of being over priced, its not only directed to black diasporas but to a particular class of people even white blacks or even Tanzanians who belong to such high class experiences that, anyone who portray himself certain ways gets that. The trick here is to learn swahili quickly or bargain for everything you want to buy.
Business in Tanzania is always what you explain, Tanzanians are not industrious businesswise because our government for 20 years after independence had very few citizens in private sector why it was highly discouraged by government policies 95% of the population was in peasant agriculture activities and remaining percentage were both in public sector by large and very few in private sector ..... even amongst ourselves partnering in business has been a difficult challenge but things are changing fast for good
The truth of the matter. In Tanzania and especially where she lives does not necessarily require bargaining or negotiating for everything. The truth of the matter the reason why a lot of the people in certain places are struggling and have to resort to those tactics in how they discriminate against foreigners, is because they are not raised or taught the value of providing the type of customer service that would make a person want to come back again.
Instead a lot of people are raised and trained to think about getting whatever they can in the moment. Many dont act like they care about the future, or the feelings or concerns of the people who are their customers.
See in the US, Americans are very often accustomed to being supervised to make sure everyone is treated the same level of respect. With respect and with dignity. Thats how you build business connections and relationships, regardless if negotiating and bargaining is involved. But when people experience a business person who only thinks about making a sale, with no regard to the customers experience, thats why many folks who think like that are so far behind. Bad attitude breeds bad business practices.
And many hate the foreigner who points out those weakness when it comes to doing business. Just because something is a habit doesnt make it the best way of doing things. Part of growing is learning that there may be a better way.
The difference in a good taxi driver in Tanzania and another one that wont get any repeat business is in the business mindset. How one driver cares about their customers experience. And how that customer may call on that driver in the future, and even refer that driver to his friends and family.
But another driver, his goal is to over charge just so he can get paid more just because they perceive the customer as being able to afford to pay more. IMO that behavior is not culture. Thats just stupidity and greed that has been passed down from generation to generation. The good thing is, not all Tanzanians think like that. Many make their good character and good service their brand
Dont worry about Americans because Nobody is Perfect.They would grow through general education and biblical education
SHALOM! THANK YOU FOR SHARING. I DON'T GET WHY MELANATED PEOPLE DO NOT KNOW HOW TO ACT IN PUBLIC. THE MOST HIGH YAH SAID HIS PEOPLE ARE STIFF NECK. THAT'S WHY WE CONTINUE TO GO THROUGH WHAT WE GO THROUGH. I PLAN ON VISITING THE CONTINENT. THANKS AGAIN. SHALOM.
I expect at this age for you to know what region of the contnent you come from.
Keep expecting , watching and learn!
@@diasporaconnecttanzania3521 Your ancestors came from West and Central Africa. All these we don’t know is nonsense.
@@antnam4406 my ancestors are Bantu. Study the Bantu migration. We are more in Afrika than any other. Bantu were stolen from the Congo and brought to America in 1619. Study before you speak!
I'm a retired American 70 this year in November 2024. I have been in Cameroon for 7 years since 2017. Married a Cameroonian woman. We have 2 small farms, so my retirement income is high considering the economics here. But Thus President here is 91 and a real dictator who actually pays himself 1 million USD yearly. Biden receives $400,000 salary to put things in perspective. So this dictator is trying to force his son as the next President of Cameroon, which the people are against and say they are sharpening their spears and machetes and they will go to war. So I have chosen Dar Es Salam as a place to run to. My income is 4million Tanzanian Schillings per month. My wife is 20 years younger than me knowing 5 languages fluently. No children is Tanzania a good choice to run to if war breaks out here? I think so as I'm not facing having to work for income. What is your opinion on my income and being comfortable there for maybe a few years if need arises?
Tanzania is a great choice for you. You can live nicely here. Very peaceful, natural. No wars. We have a small diasporan community here even though we do our own things. We and the locals have a good relationship and we work together. It is a good things. You would love it here.
Move to Arusha or Moshi there are so many of yo kind ( foreigners), the locals are more fond of tourists/foreigners….. life will be much easier, plus try to learn the swahili language so u can cope with everything, plus find a local friend whom u can trust 2 assist you…. POV; Arusha and Moshi are the best places 4 yo diaspora since there’s a lot of tourists
Thank you!
About people asking asking why your hear and when are you going to live ?ithink that kind of question you can find in any other country you will visit ,my self ihave travel a bit and everywhere else ivisited they will ask me what are you doing here and for how long that is normal and what makes you to come here . And about the Migration ithink they have to reduce price a bit.But believe me is not easy for Tanzania or African to move to Amerika Europe or else where without no souce of income its actually even togert Visa self it is another hard issue,let me ask you simple question without me having good financiall is it easy for me to move to Jamaica and live there ? .Idont think in first place iwill be welcoming . About the rent of six month that is the system of the Country even we Tanzania Citizen are paying the same and we are use to it as part of our life . Ithink it is the way of system for example if you want to rent apartment in Europe has to be payed advance of same amount before moving in and that can be around thousand of Pound or Euro that is a part of the system of those Countrys.As a Tanzanian if iwant to travel to Amerika or Europe the first thing the Embassy will ask me Bank statment so dont think Tanzanian is doing mean about Visa or stay parmit. You have talk about payment of six month that is distabin you!but at the same time your profiting more than the owner of the house 😊 let say your renting for five hundred thousand for a month or four ,then your doing B&B and collecting money for each room that means your getting more than the Land load .Mean while in the lease contract is not allowed to do that in my concern in that case you should'nt complain about that six month payment mean while your bennefiting after all,igess if you get a person you will ask a month rent for one room ?.
All these things mentioned in the video is for diaspora coming to understand how things work here. Not just complaining, just stating the obvious! It is my job to prepare those who want to repatriate or visit from the diaspora. Allowing them time to decide if Tanzania ia a long term sekection over other Africsn countries.
99.9% of our slaves ancestors were Bantu, West Africans! We are Israelites, direct blood line of Yahushua!
Absolutely correct!
Don't call the ugly in USA black people still treat african like crap I don't know your point cos people still have to make living nobody knows, I think you have been unfair
Just my perspective! Not facts!
Calm down, not every AA hates or treat Africans bad
Calm down, not every AA hates or treat Africans bad
@cyborg Matumula Dont you realize both have been guilty of treating each other like crap? Enough people from the USA are guilty of treating Africans like crap, and also enough Africans , Jamaicans, Haitians etc have done the same to people in the USA. But lets stop this generalizing.
Not all people from the USA treat all Africans, Jamaicans, Haitians etc like crap, and not all Africans treat all people from the USA like crap. In other words the display of showing ignorance is not based on whether you are African or American.
Africans have to get visas to come to America, same should apply for American citizens going the other way.
We do need visas! We get them!
Ppl of the diaspora need to stop being so judgy about others from the diaspora. We are not all the same and need not live up to anothers standard of behavior. Please stop caring about how africans born in africa view us. They been not giving af about us so stop trying to impress them with your good behavior. WE ARE NOT THEM... THEY ARE NOT US. I left America 6 years ago and haven't returned for half of that, so i know about making it somewhere else; assimilation is not the key. It's most important to accept yourself first and then accept everyone else not trying to change them not having them change you
I respect your opinion and thank you for your response. My point is that if we are considered foreigners in any country that we want to live in, we must adjust and accept the culture in that country, otherwise we should just stay in the US. Not judging but presenting facts!
@@diasporaconnecttanzania3521 sis I respect your reply and your post. My comment here is not addressed to you directly. I see a bunch of these videos and have heard RUclipsrs again again talk about their disapproval of others from the diaspora as well as those soft tone words about African approval. I'm addressing that generally. As it's often said we are not foreigners but are Africans returning. Therefrom I can't see the need to adjust to someone else's like and dislikes. That's different from adjusting to the culture and societal norms. I offer the fact that continental Africans do not move to America and look to "adjust," but rather hold tight to their differences.
@@k.o.y.stands7001This is my experience and my opinion based on living in Tanzania Africa for 4 years this year. This video is for those in the diaspora who are interested in visiting , repatriating or doing business in Tanzania. Not a debate!
I come from this part of our planet and know so well. People from east africa are not sensitive about slavery because we did not go through in historic in large we read as tale story so tz and partners countries in the eastern africa not really considered about diaspora so to my point of view tz is a nice place to be in to live your life but similarity of colour does not work in tz. East Africa is another world but may be Rwanda can play much role. West Africa is place for your kind.
I value your opinion and thank you for commenting. However to the contrary of you thinking that , “ My Kind” is in West Afrika, not so! I have been told that i look like Chagga in Moshe and several other tribes in Tanzania! All due respect but East Afrika has mostly Bantu tribes which i am Bantu as well! It does not matter if they are taught about the slavery that took place in Bagamoyo and Zanzibar, Prison Island! One must research beyond what we do not know or understand! This is why we are coming here. To help teach our people our story! Including ypurself!
AU NEED TO SORT OUT THE ISSUE OF TREATING AFRICAN AMERICANS AS FOREIGNERS….WE NEED TO EMBRACE, LOVE AND ACCEPT AFRICAN AMERICANS AS 100% AFRICANS AND GENUINELY ONE OF US.
Yes!
