I wonder why my fellow countrymen  flooding abroad and back  glorified opportunities in Tanzania.

Opportunities are always under our feet. We don’t have to go anywhere. All we need to do is to recognize and exploit them.

If you have been thinking to exploit opportunities in Tanzania, stay alert and you will start to notice five industries that have the most opportunity right now and have room to grow long in the future.
