Kenyans and Tanzanians: the Disparities (Talk Back)

Today I received some very interesting comments/observations about what I have been writing here in the recent past (the differences between Kenyans and Tanzanians). Here I share with you the same in its entirety. These are the comments by one Isibingo. Read through and see what you think.

Isibingo says:
"In Kenya, we take Eight years in Primary school, Fouryears in Secondary school and Four years in University (i.e. for most of the degrees courses).
In Tanzania, they take Seven years in Primary school, Four years in Secondary school, Two years in High school (Forms 5 and 6) and Three years in University (i.e. for most of the degree courses)."

ANSWER:
FYI 8+4+4 = 16 years and 7+4+2+3 = 16 years , now whats the defference?


You said "In Kenya, things are different. Wedding contributions are not as hyped up. In most cases, the families of the bride and groom do the contributions amongst themselves. Occasionally, input from outsiders is sought." why do not ask yuorself about expensive and for-show LUO and GIKUYU weddings, are they hyped up?

"You may hear this:Mwanangu, hiyo suti imekupendezesha k_m_ ya mama yako! ("Mwanangu" here has not been used by a parent to his/her son but by a friend to a friend).
To a Kenyan, this would sound like an earth-shattering insult but to a Tanzanian, this is an earth-shattering compliment! . Come to think of it."

ANSWER:
kuma###### word depends on hoew it is bring used,FYI ,it can be used as insult OR compliment in tanzania.

you said "Still on education, pupils and students in Public (and Private) schools in Kenya stay in school from morning to afternoon (after 3pm). Thus, it is rare to see students and pupils roaming the streets when classes are on."

ANSwer:
IF The issue of GOING TO SCHOOL in shift in TZ WILL may cause students/pupils to roam in the streets when classes are on THEN this is also in KENYA. (back in 2002 Kibaki did it as education policy).

You said "Most Tanzanians use water in the toilet (to do the work of a toilet paper!). You see them going to the toilet with small containers (kopo, as they are called in Tanzania) filled with water."

ANSWER: MAJI NA KARATASI IPI BORA, wakati KIBERA SLUMS with 1.5 million people{more than half of NAIROBI}wanatumie maji kutawaza.


you said "In Kenya, when you are cooking sukumawiki (kales) and meat, you mix everything in one sufuria.
Things are done differently in Tanzania. Sukumawiki and meat stews are cooked in different pots. "

ANSWER: this is because Tanzanians can afford good food/meals. mixing everything in one sufuria is sign of extreme poverty, especially when 1.5 millions of them lived in NAIROBI(Kibera),the second largest slums in africa.
