Tanzania...For Realz?

Please please please Tanzania, give this kid a chance. I wish Tanzania
would give this young man an immediate residence permit. The law
in Tanzania mandates 8 years of residence before citizenship. I have
said it should be reduced to 2-4 for diasporans. I know some of you
are wondering why it is not zero. That is because Africa is made of
countries and I think that the wholistic view of the diaspora does not
always account for this. Some think that it is ok to go to this country
take advantage of this, get up a week later, go to another anD get
that. You end up with people who are not committed to a country.
The period of residence is designed to reduce this tendency. Another
important thing is that residence gives the country a chance to review
your criminal record. Obviously, no country should ever have to accept
anyone who is a serial killer, drug dealer or financial scam artist............

Once that is done, I think that there is no reason why any black person
should be withheld from the priviledges of citizenship.

The kid looks like a friend of mine, from Tanzania, whose name was
Jacob Hajj. I am much older now, and I think that his last name meant
that his father had taken the required "Hajj" pilgrimage to Mecca.
 

Misleading. The only place a non-citizen can buy residential property is
the experimental area of Fumbwa, at one end of the island of Zanzibar.
A foreigner cannot lease residential land in Tanzania. The arrangement
here would require you to pay a local, who would hold the actual title
lease for 99 years.

If you are serious, you can stay the 8 years it takes to move from being
a resident to being a citizen.
 
By the way, I am of the strong belief that that residency
requirement for any black person should be 2 to 3 years.
The whole point would be to give the country enough
time to do a background check. As much as we welcome
our brothers back, we want to keep out rapists. murderers
and other serious criminals.

All the non-black aliens can be kept at 8 years.

I agree!
 

We have to figure out a way to make things easy for our brothers in
the diaspora. This is an idealistic 20 year old young black American who
decided he was going back home to Africa, but the laws make it hard for
him to thrive in this country.


As I have said before, our standard should be as below:

1) We should have universal biometric registry in Africa
so that we know which of our brothers have established
residence in which country, to prevent abuse of the
system.

2) We should provide residence/ work permits, valid for 2 years,
on arrival, subject to a satisfaction of condition 1)

3)We should require that the person supply a clean background
report within those first 2 years.

4) If the person passes 1, 2, 3- he can naturalise immediately.


Let the 8, 10 or 15 year residence requirements continue to apply
to all non-black aliens who wish to become citizens..

What possible reason could we have for letting a kid like this languish
without proper work and residence authorisation????
 
I'm looking hard at this country...

Do your homework. Reach out to the Tanzanian embassy to gather all
the information you need so that you do not land there without proper
residence/ work authorisation. It is hard to live in a country where your
means of earning living are limited because you have no permission to
deploy all of your talents and skills.

Reach out to the black American people there to get advice; however,
be careful because one the biggest problems the diaspora has faced in
trying to relocate to Africa, is being scammed by members of the diaspora
already in Africa. As a rule, do not entrust your money to anyone over there
purporting to be able to prepare your arrival there.

Once you have decided that you are going to there, make a preliminary trip
to familiarise yourself with the country, and if need be, to agree to terms with
landlords, employers, business partners etc.

By no means should you jump blindly into a foreign country where you know
nobody.

Good... There are so many stories of people from America who get up and just go.
They arrive on 90 day tourist visas and become stuck in cycles where they depend
on Youtube/Patreon for survival and have to leave the country every 90 days in
order to renew their visas

I applaud the young brother, though...forward thinking will enable the folks who embrace bettering themselves...a way to provide economic inheritence that's been lacking in the "dIaspora" due to exploItatIon from abroad and wIthIn...
