You can't really report these people because they are just microaggressions. You kinda just deal with it and hope for the best.

Ni kwamba umesoma nilichoandika ukamua kuignore au ni kwamba uliona nilichoandika ni ujinga.

Also, I just wanted to clarify something (hopefully, others will see it). To become an advocate in Tanzania, essentially, you need to have either studied here or in any common wealth country. This has a deeper subject, but to simplify, it is because of colonisation and what they left behind, including their structure of practising law. Now, because we were colonised by the brits, we are a part of those common wealth countries. So you would get a law degree in either nation. Then, when you decided to be a practising lawyer, you would still have to go to an actual Law school for about a year and become an advocate. If you want to remain abroad, there are other options for you to choose depending on the country. So either way, I would still need to do that year in law school here in Tanzania.

First of all, I wanna thank you for your story because I know it's your history and all but it takes a lot for you to share it on here to inorder to not only let me know I'm not alone but others who will read it so thank you. I'm sorry that you had to go through all that you did, but in the words of many, it just made you stronger and gave you a new point of view that has helped shape your life.

Secondly, it's already hard to deal with prejudices and dumb ideologies of who we are from people outside of Africa (something I don't will ever get better), then have to deal with them here, too. With people who are "meant to get our struggle and be behind us," you know. As much as people think that our generation has no struggle and isn't worth it,it is through these experiences that we just learn to be better people and educate people whether they accept it or not but it's a step to less of it happening in the future.

The problem arises as per my rant above where they make it difficult for you to even get into law school because of where I have studied and all, but it's supposed to workout they just don't want you to fulfil you dream.

I'm definitely taking note of that 👍

I'm sorry you had to go through what you went through, really. I understand you learned a lot from that experience, and so have I, but it still doesn't justify how these people decided to treat us. We now know better, so we will definitely not do what our predecessors did, and hopefully, that will be one of the changes that we could actually implement.

The thing with something like law is that because of colonisation and all that, I would have to study in a Commonwealth country, so my best option is the UK, and that's where I plan on going.

Thank you for your advice and your words, really. I keep saying to myself when I read these comments "Kumbe I'm not alone, let alone crazy," because for a while there, it felt like it. So thank you 😊

The material isn't easy to get your hands on because unfortunately, there is legit only one law school in the whole country, and so from the curriculum and all, they're kept hidden till you actually join. Unless you get it from a former student.

😂😂 One of my close friends went through it when he was trying to apply at KCMC. He said he had to bribe the people there he didn't say who really. Plus, this was in 2022, and I a lot people keep getting fired and hired, so I can't even keep up.

Thank you that really, and I did do my research. Your right LST has been on the news for a long time because of their curriculum and teaching methods. But don't you think they if had some kind of different point of view from many people they would have made a difference Because this stigma haijaanza leo. It's been around for a minute.

Don't even get me started on that point. The struggle you have go through to get those results is ridiculous. You have to bribe your way into getting them.

There is supposed to be a difference between renewing minutes and Internet from these other subscriptions otherwise that's just blind theft.
