Tanzania: Questions Answered

In July last year, a friend of mine who also happens to be my boss, brought to me a booklet titled The United Kingdom: 100 questions answered. This friend of mine had to find this booklet, after a heated debate the previous night as to the difference between the United Kingdom, Great Britain, Britain and England. I had some ideas on the differences, though not exactly as I remembered to have read on the same some few months back. He had his as well and as bad luck would have the answers did not tally. At the end of the day and after reading the booklet we realized that we were both correct and wrong at the same time as both answers had both traces of truth and falsity.

I found this booklet to be very useful, educative and worth having a copy. It is for this reason I thought I should do the same and educate the world through the web; I was thinking of establishing my own blog. In the premises, I have borrowed a lot from the booklet including the questions themselves and the manner in which the questions are answered.

The information contained herein is not that authoritative. Any statistics on any matter referred to herein can be obtained from other quarters. This info should be considered as basic as possible and as a conduit pipe to search for other more correct info.
I will be grateful to receive any comment my email mwambegele@yahoo.com with a title Tanzania: Questions answered and will be obliged to include the info in the blog or discuss as to its authenticity in case of any doubts.

Special thanks to my daughter; Tutindaga Mwambegele (she calls herself Tuti for short or 2T for more short) who helped me proof read the text before posting. All errors, however are entirely mine.
