The Unholy Bargain: Did Jesus Come to Save Us or Enslave Us?

Let’s start with a fact that should shake the very foundations of our faith: The first slave ship to arrive in Africa was called the ‘Jesus’. Let that name echo in the silence of our history. ‘Jesus’. The same name we call in prayer, the same name that promises salvation, was the name painted on the

Dar es Salaam’s BRT Crisis: Buses or Broken Promises? — Diallo’s Take

The chaos at Dar es Salaam’s bus stations on October 1, 2025, wasn’t really about buses.

Tanzania at a Crossroads: How Jakaya Kikwete’s Shadow Politics Is Suffocating the Nation

Tanzania was once called the land of thinkers. A nation where ideas, intellect, and discipline mattered. A country where the flame of Mwalimu Julius Kambarage Nyerere’s vision still flickered in the hearts of the people. But today, that light is dimming. And the silence of our so-called intellectuals, combined with the remote-control influence of former

John Pombe Magufuli of Tanzania and Captain Ibrahim Traoré of Burkina Faso represent two moments in Africa’s struggle for independence from external dictates. If they served in the same government at the same time, would Africa
