WHY YOU SHOULD NOT move TO TANZANIA !! 

Interesting video Eddie, as a Tanzanian living in North America, I'm truly glad for the most part that you are enjoying Tanzania. If may, there is a couple of points I'd like to clarify for you & maybe other viewers. 1. As you have noticed, we have very strict laws on land ownership and property. These are mainly to protect locals from losing their land to foreigners. since most Tanzanians are impoverished, it would be very easy for an influx of foreigners to price them out of the market. These types of laws are actually common in east African nations. 2. Yes, immigration law isn't favorable either, even for diasporans. The truth of the matter is that Tanzania or East Africans, in general, don't have the incentive to have repatriation laws like most West African nations. There are no cultural or historic links with Diasporan as most diasporans are descendants of West/Central African tribes. So while you are "repatriating" to Africa, you are "immigrating" to Tanzania. In Africa, the same concept of blackness that exists in the western world doesn't not apply, your ethnic identity is paramount. 3. Lastly, Tanzania is a wonderful place to live, not an easy adjustment but wonderful nonetheless. nevertheless, it is true that countries like, Ghana, Gambia or Guinea do have more favorable policies so they are worth a try, especially Ghana from what I hear. All the best with your journey, whether you choose to stay or leave.

I hear Americans saying is hard to move somewhere. Let me remind you is also hard to go to America

An awakened Hebrew Shalom Brother, been here a month. Love it. The people are great, the locals are great we found an apartment in two days of being there.

Shalom, You spoke on some good points that was much needed. Tanzania is definitely worth a visit in my book, but it may not be for everyone. Diasporans have lived there for many many years and they kinda roll with the punches so it does work for some. Yah willing you'll be guided in the right direction.

The weird thing I hear people say is that they don’t want to move to certain African countries BC they can’t own land there, when in reality these same people don’t own a brick or a piece of land in the states yet they’ve stayed and rented their entire life.

Tanzanian s are doing the right thing to protect their citizens, from rich capitalist countries that don't care about the poor ..

Tbh, I don't understand these complaints.. This is what we Africans go through when trying to get into the US/UK even as a visitor! To go for undergraduate program in the US, you must demonstrate ability to pay tuition( bank statement with at least $50k in the account). The UK is even more costly. Even as a visitor you must demonstrate ability to support yourself in the US/UK. I know this as I have been to both countries both as a student and as a visitor. We comply without complaining. Any country is interested in admitting immigrants who contribute to the economy, Tanzania is no different. I think some of these returnees have very little experience Travelling or living outside of the US. My advise, all the online research will not help you. Reach out to citizens of the country you are interested in settling in who are in the US,they will tell you more about the country and possibly set you up with plugs who can help you transition easier. This is what all immigrants to the US do, connect with a plug to help transition. Anywho Good luck in your search for a country that is the right fit.

I started my journey in Rwanda, and now I'm down in Namibia. It's good you shared your experience and insight on Tanzania, and I am looking forward to seeing where you venture to next.

As far as citizenship as a diaspora, like it or not our ancestors was taken from their land and did not relinquish their citizenship. So people who want reparation should be given automatic citizenship without question by the governing body. As a moral obligation to rewrite the wrong of the pass morality. Other from that it's not worth the time and effort to travel or invest in country. Who dont care of what happened in the pass and is make it difficult for any diaspora to return. In truth Respect comes with respect through ones moral to do right.

It definitely is important to research and to really understand the changes. As a wave of black Americans started coming, I think the country is just moving to slow down the influx of people entering and staying in the country. It’s not surprising and I think a lot of people knew this was coming eventually. It’s unfortunate but we are still considered foreigners🖤

Many many Diaspora been there for decades so dipend in someone choice but you said the truth Tanzanian is not cheap but beautiful place on earth’ “” We love this Country “.

Im from london and been here 8 months....im tired of these people. Decided to leave September and go west africa.

You can apply for citizenship,the laws doesn't apply only for diaspora only. It's for all non citizen even Kenyan south African laws are the same

You took a leap of faith and we can see the growth. Good luck with your African odyssey.🙏🏼🌞🌈❤️

You'll need to immigrate to a country on the continent that will appreciate what you bring to the table. . . i.e. education, entrepreneurial spirit, etc. The countries that will value you being there will see that you are there to help build the country.

Yeah bro, it kind of raised my antennas when you mentioned the ‘run around’ they’re giving you on the student visa.. I don’t believe they want too many African Americans coming over, unless you have good money to pump into their economy. I visited Kenya a while back, if you ask the right questions, observe, and connect the dots.. it’ll reveal quite a bit.. haha man you need to hit up Brazil!! Haha I’ll meet you there!

Along with my husband we were planning on visiting with hopes of relocating from the U.S. But we definitely don't want to deal with headaches, red tape, and uncertainties. May have to rethink our plans.

This is important info that no one is giving.

Sorry, Eddie. Sounds like Tanzania hasn’t been kind to you. I hope it gets better.

My two cents is be patient, take the time to fully understand the process. As frustrating as it is, there are thousands of Africans in the US who can’t work, drive or own property legally despite being there for 10-20+ years. The US has no policies or plans to help them (sound familiar?) Immigration laws do not change overnight. It’s a headache everywhere. Take time to think things through but i def wish you the best of luck bro.

I am Tanzanian. Getting paperwork in Tanzania can be challenging, but apart from the struggle is way worth it. Ask the most high for guidance sir. I am happy to see Israelite coming home. Wish I could help but can’t change gov policy. Shalom 😃🙏🏿

Eddie, you are the best. This video is extremely informative. I found your videos after I move away from SoCal. We share the same opinions about CA. Great job sir. Keep doing what you are doing.

BRUH!! You have no idea how inconsistent the American government and immigration system is and treated us that migrated to the US. And they're what?? A bouillon years old? Give African nations a break as they create these systems to accommodate our returning brothers and sisters. It takes a lot of time to get it "consistent". In thr meantime, take the 9 months that comes with the etension and run with it for 2 years, same thing!

It might cost you a few hundred dollars up front but consider seeking an immigration lawyer's advice in order to settle permanently or obtain citizenship. Every Africanncountry should have a register (roll) of advocates one can select from. You could also get one on referral. Legal advice on immigration will save you a lot in the long run.

you are absolutely right about the government, yhe inconsistency will make you stop and take notice, you are very smart young man, i am very proud of you keep up the good work, and question things that cause you to pause!

Thanks for sharing brother!

You are giving the diaspora great information. Thanks for the video!

Very good. I have lived in Kenya for ten years. Colonial Africa!!! It's very easy for Whites

There’s always Kenya next door with more transparent business and immigration laws with digital service delivery

I love what you're doing brother your videos are really educational for brothers and sisters looking to move back home to the continent of Africa.

It's to protect the locals. This is what happening in Jamaica right now. Rather than see a problem with why not settle with a Tanzanian if you single person then it will be easier to own a land. I hope people doesn't get discouraged for this I see a few bashing Tanzania law...West Africa has coast but even there you have to be careful with land as well when purchasing lands there too.

Good video.

Coming into Africa to invest is simple if you fall into certain categories, extremely wealthy coz you get to meet the president asap for some reason you matter more, friends with royals, planning to build big things like factories, high story buildings etc " but if you are just a regular investor you go through the hustle that the rest of Us folks go through.

After stumbling on various videos about Tanzania I have such a strong desire to visit there. After living in the USA all of my life and all of the challenges it brings I was so excited about hearing so many good things at first about Tanzania. It seemed like where I would want to live the rest of life at! But hearing your review and others honesty of the challenges they and others have experienced, I know now I have to check out other areas in Africa that may be better before making this life change. So thank you so much for sharing these videos.

Even though I am white and Canadian, I plan to relocate to Africa as well. My choice is Madagascar. Maybe you should look at that option as well.

Valid points! I’m hoping immigration make some changes. In terms of the land law, that’s there to protect the locals. But there should be a separate law for diasporas. I understand they don’t want all the chinese, Indians and Europeans to buy all the land. But for black diasporas they should be a change. I hope you find the perfect country for you.

Hi, Great information shared, really put things into perspective when thinking long term. Thank you for your honesty🙏🏾

Hope things work out over there for you..

Ghana for me with dual Citizenship in my Carribean nation.

That inconsistency is deep And short changes African Americans from the Diaspora

Thanks for sharing, great video as always Brother good luck on you journey!!!

I wish this man all the best

My advice is, if u plan on any sort of land ownership, look for countries with dual citizenship.

Yes, most of the land is lease hold not free hold, leasing is 40 to 50 years

United Republic of Tanzania . First as a citizen I feel so sorry ( Because I know the visa laws in Tanzania are kinda different ) But I believe the government will do something soon Am sure changes will be made and new laws will be formed This laws will provide better and easy path for our brothers and sisters to come here and have a long term staying here . Just the matter of time ... Remember.. Tanzania Inakupenda. But also I fail to understand..In Tanzania we have so many foreigners here .Like Tanzania is a mixed culture country..So why it's easier for them to settle here .But lots of complains are coming from our (Brothers and sisters )... But all in all..I hope the Tanzania law makers will do something . And I believe change will come .

Eddie, not sure where u get ur information. Is not that difficult to get citizenship. Indian, Chinese and European have been doing for years.

Thank you mate for this very important advice

In short, Africa is not for the faint-hearted.

Good info

Cool, The Gambia from east coast of Africa to the North West coast. Also, it’s near Ghana. I also like Rwanda but the only drawback is that it does not have a coastline. Good luck.

WHY NOT RELOCATE TO SOMALIA/OR SOMALILAND IT HAVE ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL BEACHES IN EAST AFRICA.

In short people do your research onc each country policy on diaspora returning before going and wasting you time and money. Respect

Im AA.of 72.%west african blood and 14% Tanzanian blood.on moms side.my tribe is from foothills of kilomanjaro Between kenya and tanzania So im living proof that about 15.%of Africans in america .caribbean also comes From east Africa.

I see that many Black Americans are having this problem. I am just wondering are the Chinese or Europeans having the same problem. I am just wondering because they seem to own a lot of businesses in Africa. Would they own all those businesses or properties if they had the same visa problems? I feel like we as people should stop going places and spending money at places that don't want us. I always felt it was stupid to force people to take my hard-earned money when they don't want to be around me.

Yea. They have made a beautiful dream a Terrible nightmare In terms of How the Visa process is here. We will trust the Most High!!🙏🏿

Is it a must for guys to own land here? Even we Tanzanians dont own land, how come you are crying for land ownership? We are renting for 33yrs renewable and the govt won't change the law just for to stay here.

Listen every country has rules that apply for foreigners, Rules that protect the rights of it's citizens that immigrants like us have to abide by, I live in Dubai and some of the rules here are ridiculous but I am not going be tell people not to move here, everyone has to experience it for themselves so if they can live in certain conditions with rules and regulations in a foreign country then fine if not then also fine no one is stopping them from coming and going nothing is easy in the States and to visit there is a hassle much less to migrate there! But yet people still die to go there no matter what they heard because they want to experience it for themselves, All I have to say is do proper research before moving to a country I have been to Tanzania and I did alot of research just for vacation unlike the State the majority of people are Muslims.

I got a 5 year visa on arrival in The Gambia for 62.00 dollars

Thank n you for your video and for sharing your experience.

Africa is waiting ...welcome home

A good realty check. Though i have to say Americans tend to drive with no direction. As it relates to the idea of repatriation. I dont know any country willing to accept free range people moving about without purpose. Questions of how one will support themselves eat live work all unanswered no money no job --no country wants to increase their population with aimless people who later further burden governments. Common sense right? The sense of 'social security' is not universal. Many realize after experiencing other places America's social constructs are actually good. Explore the world eyes wide open yes. But the idea of finding better than what you have is fleeting. #RIP_Dr_Rashidi

Valid points indeed kaka!

This is why you move to Kenya (more modern and more relaxed rules) and if you have to, go on vacation in Tanzania.

Great info

Have you been studying Mandarin at all. Seems like it may be an angle in Tanzania . . .as crazy as that sounds. Also. . .love the videos.

Thats some good points 🤔

Shalawam im a new subscriber.. Blessings to you my Brother

My brother, that’s good to get land, that’s what I’m talking about! Tanzania not going to get you no land like that, I know Ghana and Gambia will, I have land in Ghana for 3,500 beach front in Takoradi beautiful place! Gambia is nice to and cheap to get land, people need to jump on it before the prizes get expensive. I like Tanzania it’s beautiful too, I have a sister in Christ lives in Tanzania, I will be visiting Tanzania with her until my house is built in Ghana! My land visit 100 by 90! ❤️🙏🏽✊🏽✊🏽

here I don't understand, even me 100% African born, raised in Africa we face immigration problems from some African countries, Imagine with my passport I can not travel or visit more than 30 African Countries with 54 African countries in the Continent so many obstacles But People from Europe, America or with using passports from US,EU they have free visa waiver in Africa comparing to some African countries passports. The only part of AFRICA it is ECOWAS side(west African countries) that holders can move freely between them

Shalom marriage is a sacred thing you just gave the greeting and now you’re telling people they should marry somebody over here me the most I have mercy on us all

Minugu bana hata uipeleke kwenye Uhuru bongo zao bado zimeganda utumwa, ebu uko usidanganye watu na tuvideo twako, unayoongea hayako sahihi

hey EDDIE, every country has different laws, just dance with the song and african drums and you make an african album, get married, do just like KHASIM RAHMAN heavy weight boxer, or Jackie robinson son( first baseball player) or many other underground repats i doupt the country of tanzania will allow the land, is one of the difficult and strickly country in the world, its like China or Russia of africa.. as far as i see, get married to a native, perhaps after 3 years if you serious about that, they you can buy land under your son, simple as that, my little cent advise, i have a friend from Jamaica lives in tanzania married to tanzania and his chilren are benefit, if children benefit daddy will also benefit , what you think SHALAWAM,

Thanks for sharing your experiences, raw and uncut. Maybe it's like moving to a new hood or to your auntie's house. People will welcome you, but if you don't have money, job, or certain skills and attributes, they start looking at you funny. Many people in Africa don't have an in depth understanding of what AA have/are going through, so simply "escaping" America might not resonate. Also, coming anywhere with only a few thousand dollars and no connections is risky. If you have a connect that can put you on, then a few thousand could be feasible. Might be worthwhile to go to a 3rd country and work. With a degree you can teach English in China (difficult to enter after Covid) and stack so that after 2-3 years of dedicated work with visits in between, you'd likely have the minimum capital requirements to get residency. Remember, business is especially rough for first timers, but if TZ is where you want to be, get in where you fit in. But you're there now, and you're learning. Best of luck.

Thank you, you are grate.

How do the Chinese do it?

I think retirees don’t have any limitations

ISNT IT SAD? SOON AS THE OLD PRESIDENT DIES (SMKD) THE WHOLE SITUATION CHANGES THERE V19 IS BECOMING A LARGE ISSUE, WHERE AS BEFORE THERE WAS FREEDOM AND HOPE! gambia is good been there 6 times but you need to visit there before just moving straight there (minimum 2 week stay) maybe the mosquitos are nicer now but before after 1 week week you would be covered in red itchy blotches and lumps. ps: banjul belly!

You only need to live there for 5 years to apply for citizenship

How the women?

I was just listening to T3 and me, who say, that once you start a business there, then you can own a house in your business name.

Bahri beach here homie from states

Respect

How about if you get a retirement check or money from Social Security you can apply for a seat visa you can also volunteer at the orphanages you can get a visa for that seat these young people went over there with no plans now they’re on RU-vid asking for donations all the best one is if you want some information I can charge you a $40 consultation fee iPad nobody nothing

Move to South Africa you can easily buy land out here!

Salute brother 💪🏾🤝💪🏾🤝

African American have to bring business to Africa. You can't leave without money

Eddie, you are well informed, and well spoken. Might I make a suggestion. If you can learn the language and government set up there well enough to set up a go between business that assists Americans going there and mediate between them and the government so that paperwork and other necessities are in place.

Thank you so much for this video Eddie. I would love to speak with you, as I am going to be going through the process of relocating there to be with my fiancé who is a Tanzanian. Please let me know if that it is possible for us to connect and talk.

Go to South Africa 🇿🇦 is more or less USA 🇺🇸

I want to move to Kenya soon but i don’t have any friends

Only citizen of Tanzania can own land in Tanzania.

Good information presented. For me it’s either Ghana or The Gambia because both will allow a black man to own a piece of earth. I like the president in Ghana but I hear about how expensive it is, so I keep a eye on what’s going on in The Gambia too. Might see you over there some day bruh💯😁

moving to any country to live is always big deal, and cost a lot of money, its not about TZ,

Very good praise YAH

The reason why some countries have tight land regulation is white people have the ability to acquire these lands. It has to be a tight process. In Kenya you can Immediately own land on arrival but - you need a trustee, probably your lawyer or co-own with a friend who is already a citizen. When you use a trustee you can regain full ownership after you get citizenship.

Go malawi

Good video bro

If your sister decides to leave Tanzania now will the school refund her $650.00?

FumbaTown in Zanzibar and KiliGolf in Arusha are two that I know of.

Get your fact straight bro, No country makes you wait 15 years for citizenship, There is a process of permanent residency requrements and then after qualifying for permanent residency it is usually 5 years before you can submit an application for citizenship. If you have not looked it up then why mention it?
