@Buberwa_ Hii ni mikoa yenye watu wengi. Sio miji. Dar pekee inastahili kwa sbabu mkoa mzima ni jiji. Jiji la Mwanza (manispaa za Ilemela na Nyamagana) lina wakaazi milioni 2

@PolycarpMDM Don't forget to mention that it's an NFL stadium retrofitted to host football matches. Because the biggest stadia in America are NFL stadiums. It's home to the NY Jets and NY Giants. Most truly football stadiums in the US have small or medium capacities

@MKatambaKigongo @ivymuthe Yet it has somehow surpassed Tanzania in GDP per capita. Now imagine if Uganda had a proper government

@ivymuthe If u mean Addis, u r right

@PolycarpMDM Unazo mbinu nyingi za kupata jibu ya hilo. Waweza tafuta takwimu mtandaoni, tafuta Google, tumia AI au wasiliana na ndugu na marafiki wanaoishi Marekani. Naamini unao watu huko

[Sume Rossini 🇹🇿 @Supersume]

@PolycarpMDM Usijali kamanda. Kama ni hoja mimi nimewasilisha. Kama umeamua kuamini kuwa wananchi wa Marekani, kwa wingi wanapenda mpira wa miguu. Ni vyema pia kuamini unachokiamini. Ila ukweli una tabia ya kudhihirika. Haijalishi utakemewa kiasi gani. Peace and love

@PolycarpMDM Nimeshakujibu swali. Kuwa na attendance kubwa sio kipimo cha passion na mchezo. Ni vitu viwili tofauti. Ndio maana watu wamehoji attendance za ufunguzi za Mexico na USA. FIFA wamejitetea kuwa fans US walikuwa wapo ila wengine wamesimama au wananunua vitu. Mzuka ulikuwa Mexico

@PolycarpMDM Kombe la Dunia ni zaidi ya mashabiki kuingia uwanjani. Unajua mashabiki wengi husafiri kwenda Kombe la Dunia bila kuwa na tiketi. Wana enjoy the spectacle ya mtaani. Zinawekwa giant screens maeneo ya watu wengi. Ukipita mitaani kwenye café nk. Kwa Marekani, wananchi hawana mzuka

[Sume Rossini 🇹🇿 @Supersume]

@PolycarpMDM NFL huwa inacheza mechi za exhibition Ulaya. Wanajaza Wembley, Uwanja wa Spurs, Bernabeu na San Siro. Hadi mashabiki 90,000. Haifanyi Ulaya kuwa wapenzi wa NFL. Ikichezwa mechi ya NFL San Siro, mitaani wananchi wanaendelea na maisha yao. Nadhani hapo jibu utakuwa umelipata

@TheManAfricano @DurojaiyeSegun Previous World Cups, like 2002 in Japan and S. Korea, matches were spread out to accommodate different timezones of the world. So it's not impossible to do this. FIFA just got greedy and focused on money rather than making the tournament a global spectacle

@EdwinMjeru Na mwaka jana walitupita kwa kuwa na bajeti kubwa kuliko sisi. Mwaka huu tumewazidi kidogo tu. Kumbuka tunawazidi kwa ukubwa wa nchi na idadi ya watu. Tuendelee kuzubaa tu

[Sume Rossini 🇹🇿 @Supersume]

@PolycarpMDM Nilimaanisha NFL, NBA na MLB. MLS yenyewe imekuja kuipita NHL miaka ya juzi tu

[Sume Rossini 🇹🇿 @Supersume]

@PolycarpMDM Mpira wa miguu sio mchezo namba 1, wala 2, wala 3 kwa kupendwa USA. NFL, MLB na NFL ziko juu ya MLS kwa viewership. Uzuri wao wana data kamili. Tofauti na nchi zingine karibia zote duniani. Sehemu kubwa ya jamii ya US hawajui hata sheria basic za mpira zikoje. Hawana interest

[Sume Rossini 🇹🇿 @Supersume]

@PolycarpMDM Mfano mdogo, Kenya iko nyuma sana kimpira. Lakini ni footballing country. Mashindano madogo tu ya CHAN, wananchi walijaza uwanja, walikuwa na mzuka. Hata kama vilabu vyao na timu za taifa hazifanyi vizuri, ila wananchi wana mapenzi ya dhati na mchezo. Marekanibiko tofauti

[Sume Rossini 🇹🇿 @Supersume]

@PolycarpMDM Mitaani Marekani, kwa wakaazi wa Marekani, achana na mashabiki wa kigeni, hakuna mzuka na mashindano unaoonekana katika mashindano mengine ya nchi zingine. Haijalishi viwanja vimejengwa kwa dola bilioni ngapi.

[Sume Rossini 🇹🇿 @Supersume]

@PolycarpMDM Mwanangu wamarekani wamekulipa nini? Ukweli ni kuwa USA is not a footballing country. Hiyo inafanya the whole world cup soulless. Kwa tuliotazama WC tangu 98 hadi sasa nadhani tuna uwezo wa kupima. Dunia nzima ilikuwa inasimama kwa ajili ya kombe la dunia. Sio hili

I'm not sure whether ride-hailing becoming a primary source of income is good news or alarming. I have three reasons to think it's the latter.

Kwanza: A gig economy can't be a primary income for this many people. These riders didn't choose ride-hailing over manufacturing or a salaried job. They chose it over nothing.

In Swahili we call it Kujishikiza.

It's also why you'll rarely meet a happy Bolt driver. Work done by choice doesn't produce this much grievance. This much grievance comes from people with no other door.

Pili: Ride-hailing compounds nothing. Productive work leaves something behind such as a skill, a customer base, a firm, an asset.

You cannot scale a driver's seat.

And as the LATRA official noted, most drivers don't even own the vehicle. So by forty, a rider owns no more than he did at twenty, while younger, hungrier riders flood the same roads and pull his fares down.

Tatu: This income is structurally male. Even as a survival economy, it reaches half the young and turns the other half away at the door.

Africa's demographic dividend was never supposed to be cashed this way. The promise of a young population was meant to pay out in things that compound: factories, value addition, logistics that move real goods, output a country can sell beyond its borders.

A young population is only a dividend if the economy can productively deploy it. Right now we're letting it run in neutral and calling the idling progress.
