Muuza ASALI

@somebarry Ni kutaka faida ambayo haina uhalisia, biashara ya supermarket ni ya mzunguko, weka bei ndogo uza vitu vingo kwa faida ndogo. Pale siku hizi watu tunasimama kwenda toilet tu

@rajshems Pale sidhani kama kuna mteja huwa anarudi tena. Wasichojua wangepanga bei za kawaida wangeuza kinoma maana magari mengi sana yanasimama

Ile supermarket pale Msolwa petrol station zile bei aisee! Kwanini wabongo tunapenda kuuziana vitu mabei makubwa!?

Makalio yako wewe mbwa

Kulinganisha bei ya bidhaa kama mafuta (petroli/dizeli/mafuta ya taa) kati ya nchi iliyoendelea na nchi inayokua bila kuangalia uwezo wa kununua (Purchasing Power) ni kujaribu kupotosha ukweli halisi wa hali ya maisha. Tofauti ya Kipato cha Wastani (GDP per Capita) ndiyo kigezo kikubwa zaidi kinatumika hapa. Hata kama lita ya mafuta Norway ni ghali mara mbili ya Tanzania, kipato cha raia wa Norway ni kikubwa mara hamsini zaidi. Uwezo wa Kununua Mafuta (Fuel Affordability); hapa utapaswa kuangalia asilimia ya kipato cha kila siku kinachohitajika kununua lita moja ya mafuta kwa nchi hizo ulizotaja (Mfano Netherlands) na Tanzania. Mtu wa kawaida Norway au Netherlands ana mapato mara 50 au 70 zaidi ya mtu wa Tanzania. Hii inamaanisha kuwa gharama yoyote (hata ndogo) inachukua sehemu kubwa zaidi ya bajeti ya familia ya Kitanzania. Tanzania (data 2018–2022, bado inatumika kama kiashiria) na inaonyesha 51.3% ya watu wanaishi chini ya $2.15 kwa siku (umaskini mkali wa kimataifa). Karibu 70% wanaishi kwa kipato cha chini ya $3.65 kwa siku. Katika nchi za Norway, Sweden au Netherlands raia wa kawaida katika nchi hizo anatumia chini ya 1% ya kipato chake cha siku kununua lita moja ya mafuta. Kwao, mafuta ni gharama ndogo sana (pocket change). Mtanzania wa kawaida anayepata kipato cha wastani wa Tsh 15,000 kwa siku, akitakiwa kununua lita moja ya mafuta kwa Tsh 3,800, anatumia zaidi ya 20% ya kipato chake cha siku kwa ajili ya kununua lita moja tu. Kwa akili ya kawaida tu, maumivu anayoyasikia Mtanzania wa kawaida kwa kununua lita moja ya mafuta ya petrolo na dizeli ni makubwa mara 20 zaidi ya anayoyasikia raia wa Netherlands au Norway. Katika nchi kama Sweden, Norway na Netherlands, mfumo wa kodi unarudisha huduma bora za kijamii (shule bure, bima ya afya ya uhakika, usafiri wa umma wa kisasa). Hii kitaalam inaitwa ‘disposable income’ Tanzania, raia wa kawaida anapaswa kutoa fedha mfukoni kwa ajili ya kugharamia ada ya shule, matibabu (ambayo ni gharama kubwa), na usafiri binafsi kwa sababu usafiri wa umma haujitoshelezi. Wakati raia wa Norway akimaliza kununua mafuta, anabakiwa na pesa nyingi ya ziada (disposable income). Mtanzania wa kawaida akimaliza kununua mafuta na chakula, mara nyingi anabaki na deni au sifuri Ulaya, mifumo ya hifadhi ya jamii inawalinda masikini. Tanzania, mfumuko wa bei wa bidhaa za chakula una athari ya moja kwa moja, zaidi ya 50% ya kipato cha kaya Tanzania huishia kwenye chakula pekee. Kujaribu kulinganisha bei ya bidhaa za mafuta ya Tanzania (Tsh 3,900) na ya Netherlands (Tsh 6,000) bila kuhusisha GDP per Capita ni sawa na kulinganisha uzito wa chungwa na uzito wa basi la abiria. Pamoja na kwamba mnafanya kazi ya kuitetea Serikali katili ya mbogamboga, jitahidini kuwaonea watanzania huruma. Mafuta yakipanda bei katika pampu, athari za kiuchumi katika maisha ya kawaida ni kubwa.

Mwanangu Magesa alikuwa na shida ya tumbo. Awali aliambiwa ana vidonda vya tumbo. Kuna nyakati tumbo likimshika alikuwa hawezi hata kutembea. Siku moja alizidiwa. Tukakimbia hosp. Niliitwa pembeni Daktari akaniuliza: "Magesa ni nani yako?" Nikamjenga! 🧵🧵

Tenga dakika chache kila siku kukumbuka kuwa watawala waliamuru polisi wafyatue risasi, na matokeo yake wakawapiga risasi vijana waliokuwa kwenye banda la kutazama mpira.

Familia yangu Tanzania na hapa Marekani waliokesha kila siku kuhakikisha ninatendewa haki kwenye Kukamatwa kwangu kinyume cha sheria na serikali kushindwa kunifungulia kesi yoyote, ni dalili ya wazi ya vita ya Serikali dhidi ya sisi diaspora.

No one who hasn't been a goalkeeper can understand how difficult it is to play in this position. Keep your head up and you will go again.

I know a country that will programme them to beat opposition supporters with those sticks

🚨🗣️ Patrice Evra claims that none of his ex team mates have a leg to stand on after their own failures as managers: "I hope Paul Scholes' Instagram story is fake, I hope he was hacked, To be honest, I'm not surprised at that from Scholesy. He was the quietest player I've ever played with in my entire career. Now, in the media, he drops bombshells. There's been negative analysis from Scholesy, but also from Roy Keane and Gary Neville. It annoys me because we want to be in the top four, and those comments are unnecessary, but this is what you do when you work in TV. You can't be positive, you have to be negative. Most of these guys get a managerial job and get fired straightaway. I said to Neville: 'It's easy to talk on TV. When you were at Valencia, they asked you for paella, and you gave them fish and chips.'" [@Stake]

"Wanataka tuzungumze ya October 29, watayaweza?" Mhe. @TunduALissu

Hated. Adored. Never Ignored.

Wolves are a team that's completely lost hope. There's nothing they can do to stay in this league. Genuinely one of the worst sides I've seen in the Premier League. My advice to anyone thinking of hate-watching Arsenal: don't waste your time. Get some sleep. Rest up for the frustration that's coming later. Trust me. Nights.

Congratulations, Your Excellency President Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah, on becoming Africa’s second democratically elected woman President. Thank you for our meeting during #AUSummit2026. A revolutionary and trailblazing leader, you bring a fresh, bold, humble and firm approach—driving a social justice and inclusive growth agenda for all Namibians. It was inspiring to speak with you and hear how you are standing strong for your people. We discussed 2026 as a critical year for the global AIDS response, when the world will agree new targets and renew commitments at the UN General Assembly High-Level Meeting on AIDS. Strong African leadership will be essential in shaping an ambitious Political Declaration. Thank you for 🇳🇦 Namibia’s steadfast engagement in @UNAIDS governance. @NamibianPresidency #39thAUSummit #EndAIDS

Mhe.@TunduALissu : wameshimiwa Majaji nimebakiza maswali matatu, sitaki nimchoshe mwanachama wangu. Shahidi: mimi siyo Mwanachama wako mshitakiwa Tundu Lissu. Umeniingiza kwenye matatizo we unayaona ni mazuri haya. Mahakama inaangua kicheko. Shahidi akumbuki uanachama wake tena
