Zikomo imefafanua kwamba ingawa tuliongoza katika kura za mtandaoni, matokeo ya mwisho yalibadilika baada ya kura za SMS na USSD kuongezwa. Samahani kwa @zikomoawards kwa mkanganyiko wowote. Tutajaribu tena katika siku zijazo na tutashinda! Nawapenda ndugu zangu wa Tanzania 🇹🇿.
Gather here if, as a guy, you’ve never been scared of approaching a woman, no matter how sophisticated she appears.
I don’t care if you are Rubi Rose, or you are with multiple of your friends, or even with your father, I will approach you with all civility if I find you attractive. I’m that confident.
I mean, what’s the worst that could happen, if not her saying no?
“Hello beautiful, good day. My name is Mr. A. I noticed you over there and couldn’t leave without saying hello. Can I get your number so we can have more conversations over the phone?”
At this point, she has already assessed you. Your appearance, confidence, and how articulate you are will determine your chances.
If she says no, don’t stress it. Just say, “That’s fine,” and bounce.
One thing you shouldn’t stress over is getting a woman’s contact. After all, you’re the one who’ll put in most of the work afterward: calling, texting, getting cold responses at first, planning dates, buying gifts, etc. It’s more in her favor for the conversation to continue.
If she hesitates with something like, “Sorry, I don’t give strangers my number,” or “Thank you for the compliments, but I can’t give you my number,” do not ask again.
The United States values its longstanding partnership with the people of Tanzania, which has brought prosperity to our populations and security to the region. Recent actions by the government, however, raise concerns about the direction of our bilateral relationship. The future of our bilateral relationship with the Government of Tanzania will be based on its actions.
I am deeply concerned about the escalating pattern of enforced disappearances targeting critical voices and passive critics who speak out on matters of democracy, human rights, and good governance.
The situation has become alarming and increasingly widespread, suggesting a deliberate and coordinated effort to silence dissenting thought so that only voices of praise and conformity remain.
What we are witnessing is a systematic erosion of the fundamental freedoms that define a democratic society. Instead of fostering dialogue and accountability, there appears to be a growing culture of fear and repression.
Our security apparatus particularly the Police seem either complicit in these acts or grossly incompetent in addressing this worsening tragedy.
This silence and inaction have emboldened perpetrators and undermined public confidence in state institutions. If not urgently confronted, this trend will corrode the very foundations of justice and the rule of law in our nation.
