What is a societal problem for the maasai?

A problem for the Maasai is that the Governments of the countries they live in actively discourage their nomadic lifestyle. So far, the Maasai manage to persevere in their old lifestyle and habits, and they are starting to get support in this from influential organizations such as Oxfam.

Another societal problem is the same that affects all other African tribes: urbanization, outside cultural and religious influences and Africa's many civil wars.
