(Many who know me have known me through my music. This has not happened by accident because I decided to keep my life outside music private),” Ali Kiba wrote
Believing that agriculture holds the key to changing lives, Ali Kiba expressed his excitement in sharing his experiences and encouraging young people to venture into this sector.
He sees agriculture as a reliable path to wealth generation and a means of empowering the youth.
“Nimesukumwa sana ku-share hii na vijana wenzangu ili kuunga Mkono jitihada za Bi. Mkubwa kwa Vijana wenzangu sababu nakiona Kilimo kuwa ni kitu cha uhakika kinachoweza kubadili life yetu.
(I am excited to share this with my colleagues to support some efforts. I see Agriculture as something that can change our lives),” he said.
The Potential of Agriculture
With his investments in agriculture, Ali Kiba recognizes the immense potential this sector holds, not only for personal wealth creation but also for societal development.
“They say if you want wealth, you will find it in the field; I tell you, if you want wealth, throw yourself into farming. Whenever I get time, I will share challenges in agriculture and the crops that have picked up,” He said.
Agriculture plays a vital role in Tanzania’s economy, and by promoting its growth, Ali Kiba hopes to contribute to the nation’s progress.
Challenges and Rewards
Ali Kiba acknowledges that agriculture is not without its challenges. However, he remains undeterred, emphasizing that the rewards are worth the effort.
“For a long time, I have invested in agriculture, and it has been a different experience full of challenges but with a lot of success,” He said.
Through his ventures, he aims to shed light on the obstacles faced in agriculture, offering insights into crop selection, farming techniques, and strategies for success.
Personal Turmoil
While Ali Kiba’s agricultural ventures have been met with enthusiasm, his personal life has recently faced turbulence.
Reports of his Kenyan wife, Amina Khalef, seeking a divorce due to alleged disrespect and frustration have surfaced.
In a statement shared on Thursday, June 15, 2023, Amina expressed her desire for freedom and urged Ali Kiba to sign the divorce papers, stating that his public actions have caused her distress.
According to her, despite her efforts to create distance between them, Ali Kiba has confined her emotionally by consistently referring to her as “someone’s wife” while enjoying his own freedom without limitations.
“I have realized the need to address this; I think it has become too much! I am tired of being disrespected publicly, while people fail to understand the situation behind the scenes, the shadow of being ‘someone’s wife’,” Amina said.
