Tunapoelekea kuadhimisha juma la kitaaluma la Mwalimu Julius Nyerere Udsm linaloanza tarehe 12 mwezi wa nne, ni jambo jema kujikumbusha baadhi ya mawazo yake kuhusu utawala bora-Afrika na umuhimu wake katika kujenga taifa na maendeleo. UDUMU UMOJA... hapa anajadili kuhusu ukweli uliodharauliwa...

The Ignored Truth
Most countries of Africa are now once again 'coping' with the worst of their economic problems, and some are making well-based progress towards better living conditions for their people. We hear little about such difficult triumphs over adversity in the context of such things as international recessions and violent changes in primary commodity prices.

Most of our countries are now living in a state of internal peace, and a peace which is deepening; we do not hear such peace unless it is broken. Despite the artificial and often unclear national borders of Africa, our States have very largely avoided violent conflict among themselves.

Despite the histories of other continents, that accomplishment is ignored - even within Africa.
And although this important success has been achieved largely through the work of the Organisation of African Unity (which African States themselves established), the media and the international community generally refer to the OAU with derision - if at all. Our children's expectation of life, and all that those statistics imply, has greatly improved - except where countries became the direct or indirect surrogates in Cold War conflicts, or were for other special reasons among the countries involved in prolonged civil strife.

Africa does now have a core of highly educated and internationally recognised experts in different fields. Given the number of technicallyand professionally educated Africans in our countries at independence, and the paucity of secondary or tertiary educational institutions at that time, the number of high-calibre experts in Africa is now much larger than could reasonably have been expected after this lapse of time. Perhaps we are misusing them, but they are there now. At independence, some of our countries had no trained people at all.

Finally, good or bad, the first generation of our leaders is fast being replaced by the second or even the third; most of these are better-educated, relatively free from the mental hang-overs of colonialism, and have had the opportunity to learn from the mistakes and the successes of their predecessors. With the help of work done at different fora, I am confident that African States, individually and in cooperation with one another, can step by step and in an ordered fashion, move towards Good Governance.

The OAU exists and assists in the maintenance or restoration of peace and cooperation within Africa, even if it too is severely weakened in action and capacity by its lack of resources. Some sub-regional organisations are making limited but useful contributions to stability, peace and economic progress in their respective areas.

The machinery of government and of unofficial institutions within African States can facilitate or hinder movement towards greater intra-African cooperation. And in addition, the all-African institutions, as well as those working on a sub-regional basis, may well be able to benefit by it - provided the actors bear in mind the prospective importance of the role these intra-African institutions can play in strengthening us all. - Third World Network Features

HAPPY WOMEN DAY

prof: Wangari Maathai-an example of empowerment achievement.

women are important in our community, that we know. As we celebrate 15 years after the Beijing women summit, there is a lot to discuss as achievement as far as women empowerment is concerned.unless women are involved in the struggle against poverty, diseases, and ignorance the three enemies declared at independence, our national goals of sustainable development and national solidarity are in jeopardy. may we celebrate them today hoping that a bright future about gender awareness in africa is about to come for the development and betterment of this very great continent

has africa done enough to help haiti?
its true that Africa has alot of problems but THIS is the time to join hands with the international community to help our brothers in haiti thanks to DRC which has promised money and senegal which has promised land for the haitians who want to live in senegal. In africa we have a saying which says if your neighbours house gets fire you will join other peole to stop that fire even though his house is better than yours. LET US HELP OUR BROTHERS IN HAITI any sort of help will be of crucial importance to them.consult any REDCROSS or UN 0ffice to extend your assistance. SAVE HAITI!

ULAFI WA MADARAKA CHANZO CHA USALITI
Kila marefu hayakosi ncha ndo usemi ninaoanza nao katika kuasisi mjadala huu ambao naamini utakua huru na na endelevu kwani hata mfalasafa Socrates anaamini kuwa hoja ya kichokonozi ndio mwanzo wa migongano wa mawazo.Kwa muda mrefu magazeti na vyombo vingine vya habari vimekuwa vikitaliwa na skendo za ufisadi,rushwa ndogo na kubwa, kupeana vyeo kienyeji,raisi kumpa mke uwaziri ama waziri mkuu kumpa mwanae Tume aendeshe lakini kwamuda mrefu pia haijatokea sababu inayozibeba sababu nyingine za kwa nini uovu katika uongozi umeziba mwanya wa uadilifu.
Nimefikiri nimegundua asili ya uovu huu katika tabaka la viongozi ni ulafi wa madaraka ambao huzaaa tamaa ya mali ambazo wenye nazo wakishazipata, suala la kulewa madaraka ndilo ambalo hufuata kisha kiburi cha madaraka na roho ya unyang’au dhidi ya maslahi ya wanyonge ndio huwa mapambo ya jumba la uongozi ambako huko sasa walafi wakubwa hushirikiana na makupe wadogo wadogo kunyonga uhuru, kuruhusu magendo na kuficha haki na halali za watu huku wakipiga vifua kwa majigambo ya pesa , tabasamu na meno nje gegedu kana kwamba wao ni watu wema.
Kazi ya mke ndani ya familia katika mila zetu za hapa kwetu Afrika ni kuingalia familia, kuijali na kuilea familia hususani watoto katika maadili mema hilo ndio jukumu la mama wa kiafrika, vivyo vivyo kazi ya mwalimu ni kufundisha, kusahihisha na kugawa njia za kufaulu mitihani kwa wanafunzi wake.Huu ndio mlinganyo kati ya mama wa kiafrika na mwalimu. Mwanaharakati mpenda haki na mwana mapinduzi kazi yake ni kufichua uovu, kutoa nuru, kutia chachu ya kudai haki nakuendeleza mapambano. Lakini hawa watu wote watatu hawawezi na kamwe hawataweza kumfunga mtu kamba nakutembea naye kila mahali ili kuona kuwa anaenda kama wao walivyomuelekeza, kwa hiyo mtoto akifuata njia za dunia badala ya maongozo ya mama yake hayo ndio majuto yake, mwanafunzi akipuuza mbinu za mwalimu wake huko ndiko kufeli kwake, mwananchi akisubiri mbumge amletee maendeleo na haki mkononi kama zawadi huo ndio umaskini wake.
Ulafi wa madaraka ndio uliomfukuza shetani mbinguni leo shida zote zimeletwa na y eye. Kazi ya kuonya nakuelekeza inapokwisha na mwanadamu akashupaza shingo kinachosubiriwa ni ile kauli ya wahenga kuwa asyesikia la mkuu……. Ama kwa hakika atavujika vipande vipande na kumbu kumbu lake litasahaulika na likikummbukwa liitavikwa kofia ya unyonyaji, kiburi na usaliti.
Ndiyo yali yomtokea Bokasa, Ian smith, P.W.Botha, Laurent Kabila, Idd Amin, Edward Lowasa na wengineo ambao mazuri yao waliyofanya wala hayakukumbukwa balio historia imewanukuu, kwa kiburi chao na ulafi wao wa madaraka ambao mwishoni Umma uliwavika vazi la aibu-VAZI LA USALITI

Soma majibu ya wanazuoni kuhusu hili swali

Unalitazamaje hili, tukifanya uchaguzi marekani na uingereza huleta waangalizi wa uchaguzi . Wakifanya uchaguzi hawaombi waangalizi kutoka afrika wala asia?

Masangu Matondo Nzuzullima October 23 at 4:20am
Pengine tulitazame hili kihistoria. Wao ndio walitutawala na kwa mtazamo wao walituletea kila kitu kwani sisi tulikuwa tungali tunaishi "gizani" Hata demokrasia (sijui ina maana gani hasa) ni dhana yao ambayo wanatulamimisha kuifuata. Kwa hivyo ni lazima waje kutuangalia kama kweli tunaizingatia kama wao wanavyotaka. Kwa mtazamo huu haiwezekani sisi eti tuende tukasimamie uchaguzi wao wakati tukiwa kama wanafunzi wao - bado hata hatujajua hasa maana ya demokrasia ni nini. Yote haya hata hivyo ukiangalia vizuri ni tokeo la mahusiano ya kihasama na kinyonyaji katika viwango vyote - mahusiano ambayo yamesimikwa katika dhana potofu kwamba sisi Waafrika kimsingi hatuna lolote jema ambalo hawa jamaa wanaweza kujifunza kutoka kwetu. Cha ajabu ni kwamba nasi Waafrika tumeikubali hali hii ndiyo maana tunaiga kila kitu hata kiwe kibaya namna gani ali mradi tu kiwe kimetoka "Magharibi". Na huu utandawazi - it is even getting worse! Mimi sijui tunaelekea wapi!

Sora, Nadhani mambo ya Siasa hayana muafaka mmoja wala namna maalum inayokubalika katika kufanya mambo, ndiyo hata kukawa na mirengo mara ya kushoto na kulia na ile isiyofungamana na upande wowote na bado ndani ya hiyo imegawanyika zaidi.Hili suala la uchanguzi ni la kisiasa zaidi na wanapozungumzia kutuma waangalizi kwenda sehemu moja, mara nyingini kwa kuwa limeegemea upande mmoja. Yaani, kwa kuwa nchi za marekani na Uingereza zinajiweza kiuchumi na kifedha, na kwa kuwa zimekuwa zikituma fedha za matumizi kwa nchi hizi zinazoitwa masikini au zinazoendelea, basi huwa na uhuru mkubwa wa kuamua kufuatilia mambo ya ndani ya nchi wanayoipatia misaada ili kujua miendendo yao. Nchi hizi masikini zimekuwa watumwa wa nchi tajiri kwani punde zinapokatalia waangalizi hao (ambao kwa kweli ni sawa na wachunguzi tu) huwa zinakataliwa misaada na matokeo yake ndiyo kama tunayoyaona kwa baadhi ya nchi kama Zimbabwe. Baadhi ya nchi ambazo zinajiweza kiasi zimekuwa zikikatalia wachunguzi hawa na matokeo yake hutengwa lakini zimekuwa zikijitahidi hadi kufanikiwa kujinyanyua kama vile nchi za Arabuni, Afrika ya Kaskazini hata na zile za Balcan.
Ingekuwa Afrika ni tajiri na ndiyo inayotoa misaada kwa nchi za Marekani na Uingereza, basi sina shaka kuwa Afrika nayo ingetaka kutuma waangalizi wake ili kuona mambo ya uchaguzi yanakwendaje katika hizo nchi ambazo inazipatia misaada.Kwao watu wa Uingereza na Marekani hawatajali kuwaalika waangalizi toka Afrika labda iwe tu kwa mijajili ya kujifunza kuhusu uchaguzi na kwa kuwa hao watakaoalikwa, wataomba msaada wa nauli na hifadhi ya malazi na posho ya kukidhi haja ya siku, sidhani kama nchi hizo zitakuwa tayari kuingia gharama hiyo ikiwa hawatapata faida yoyote. Kwa hivyo kwa kuwa wanaamini kuwa hawana la kujifunza toka nchi za Afrika na kutokana na vurugu za kisiasa zilizo Afrika, basi wanaona hawana la kujifunza wala haja ya kuwa na waangalizi. Wao wenyewe kwa wenyewe wanaheshimiana na kila mtu kushika adabu yake kabla ya kuripoti mambo ya nchi nyingine yenye misuli ya kiuchumi na kisilaha kama wao.Huu ndiyo mtizamo wangu kuhusu hili.
karibuni kwa maoni wadau wa maendeleo.

Mwalimu wewe ni nani?
Na: Adam Foya,13.oktoba.2009.
Nilipo kuwa mdogo niliona picha zako,
Nilipo kwenda shule, tuliimba nyimbo juu yako,
Hata redioni nilisikia ukihutubia,
Vijiweni ulikuwa gumzo,
Mwalimu wewe ni nani?

Wengine walikuita mwenyekiti,
Kwa wote ulikuwa ni rais,
Wengi tunakuita baba wa taifa,
Dunia inakujua kama mwalimu,
Mwalimu wewe ni nani?

Wajukuu wanakuita babu,
Watoto wanakuita baba,
Castrol na shivji watakuita comrade,
Maria anakuita mume,
Mwalimu, wewe ni nani?

Msumbiji na Angola kwao u mkombozi,
Burundi na Rwanda kwao u mpatanishi,
Idi amini kwake u mvamizi,
Mwalimu wewe ni nani?

Je mwalimu wewe ni picha za ukutani?
Au maneno mazuri katika nyimbo na hotuba?
Au ni ile sanamu pale New world cinema?
Mwalimu wewe ni nani?

Kama ni mwenyekiti
Je tu wanachama?
Kama ni mwalimu, Je tu wanafunzi?
Ka ma ni Baba wa taifa ,
Je tu watoto?
Kwako mwalimu ni nani?

PENGO KATIKA BAJETI YA MAREKANI LAFIKIA TRILIONI 1.4
Je huu ndio mwanzo wa mwisho wa taifa lenye nguvu duniani?
Matumizi ya marekani yanazidi mapato yake inayokusanya, hii inaleta mapungufu ya bajeti kama ilivyotangazwa ambayo sasa ni dola trilioni 1.4 ikiwa ni mapungufu mara tatu ya ilivyokuwa mwaka jana hatari kwa uchumi huu mkongwe duniani, hii pia imechagizwa na msukosuko wa uchumi duniani ambao kihistoria umeanzia marekani katika mabenki na taasisi za kifedha hususani katika nyumba za ukopeshaji wa fedha kwa ajiri ya ujenzi wa nyumba (mortgage houses) huku mabenki makubw a fadie mac na fedie manie yalipoporomoka kifedha na kufilisika.
Madhara yanayotegemewa kwa nchi zinazoitegemea Marekani kifedha ni makubwa na yanategemea kushamiri wakati huu ambapo marekani yenyewe inategemea fedha kwa China na Japan ikitegemea zaidi China ambayo marekani huwa ina malumbano nayo kwa sera zake za kijamaa .Kihistoria marekani iliinuka sana wakati wa vita vya pili ilipodumisha sera yake ya kujitenga na vita ndani ya ardhi yake (isolation policy) na mwisho wa vita marekani ikageuka mfadhili wa kifedha wa nchi zilizoathiriwa na vita marekani ikatajirika kupitia mikopo iliyotoa kwa nchi waathiriwa sasa je ni zamu ya Marekani? Je ni zamu ya ujamaa kuinuka kutawala dunia kiuchumi? Je ndio uthibitisho mpya kuwa ubepari sio mfumo bora wa kiuchumi? Je ajenda ya obama kuhusu visisismuzi vya maendeleo (stimulus packages) itakuwa na ufanisi unaonekana? Je umaarufu wa Obama kisiasa ndio utaanza kushuka? vp kuhusu azimio lake la kutoondoa majeshi ya kivamizi huko afghanistan je si upungufu wa kifedha si ndio utaongezeka kwa matumizi kuzidi kupaa na kuzidi makusanyo ya fedha?

Mwisho napenda kutoa ujumbe ufike mbali unakoweza kufika, kuwa wakati umefika wa sisi wa nchi zinazoendelea kuziangalia upya sera zetu kuhusu utegemezi wetu wa kiuchumi kutoka kwa nchi matajiri, kuwa sera na ajenda- maendeleo zote zirekebishwe zikielekea kujitegemea la sivyo tunakaribisha jinamizi litakalotufukarisha zaidi. Namalizia kwa kusema "yeyote asiyeweza kuishi kwa kidogo kilichopo amelaaniwa"

Mungu tuepushe na jinamizi hilo, MUNGU ibariki Afrika.

NCHI YA KITU KIDOGO
Ni muda wa taarifa ya habari nipo mahali ninapoishi hapa mitaa ya Tabata ninasikia taarifa ya habari kutoka kwenye luninga kuwa serikali imepoteza mabilioni ya fedha kupitia wafanyakazi wasio waaminifu wanao orodhesha majina ya wafanyakazi hewa ili walipwe fedha mwisho wa mwezi taarifa inaendelea kupaa kuwa mishahara hiyo kwa wafanyakazi hewa imekuwa ikilipwa kwa muda mrefu sasa, ninajisikia vibaya, huwezi kujisikia vizuri unaposikia taarifa kama hii labda kama na wewe ni mwenye tamaa na roho ya utajiri wa burebure, au labda kama na wewe na ni mbinafsia mwenye kiu na njaa ya kutumia ofisi za umma kujifanyia utajirisho.

Nikakumkumbuka kuhusu maoni ya msomaji wa blogu hii aliyechangia picha niliyoiweka bloguni hapa kuhusu kilimo kwanza akisema kuwa hii nchi ya Tanzania ni ‘nchi ya kitu kidogo’ hivyo harakati zinazofanywa na yeyote mpenda mageuzi anayekwenda kinyume na kundi la watu wenye tamaa ya kujivunia utajiri kupitia ofisi za umma ni mbio za mwenda kasi ambaye huishia ukingoni- mchangiaji ambaye nilimpinga kwa mtazamo wake huo.

Nikamkumbuka pia dada na rafiki yangu ambaye anafanya kazi katika moja ya ofisi nyeti hapa nchini aliyenisimulia kuwa mwaka 1992 walipofukuzwa chuoni Udsm waliporudishwa chuoni ajira yake ikakoma lakini kumbe jina lake halikuondoshwa kwenye rekodi, na mshahara wake uliendelea kulipwa kwa mtu asiyekuwepo mpaka muda mrefu baadae na anakiri hajui kama waliendelea kwa muda gani kumlipa mfanyakazi huyo hewa (jina lake) pesa ambayo yeye hakuwahi kuiona wala hajui ilikuwa ikipokewa na nani.

Nimekutana naye juzi ananiambia hili suala la watu kulipa mishahara hewa ni mtandao wenye nguzo tatu,nazo ni watawala, wahasibu na wakurugenzi wa raslimali- watu hawa wanakamilisha kile ninachokiita “utatu wa kifisadi” unaokamilisha ulaji wa pesa za mishahara.

Ndugu wasomaji nchi hii ina fedha nyingi zinazopotea, raslimali nyingi zinazopotea raslimali-watu zinazopotea, usimamizi stahiki unaopotea, viongozi wa kweli wanaopotea, kuliko yale yanayotumika kuendeleza nchi.

‘Kitu kidogo’hutembea kuanzia kupata huduma za afya, mpaka kushinda zabuni kwa ajiri ya kutekeleza miradi, fedha inatembea kuanzia kupata haki yako mpaka kushinda zabuni za kutekeleza miradi,Fedha inatenmbea kuanzia kupata kura mpaka kupata nafasi vyuoni. Walaji hawa wa kodi za wananchi hawafukuzwi kazi wala kupunguzwa vyeo ila wanahamishwa kituo ili wakaendeleze ulaji wa pesa za umma huko,si ni kweli ? au we waonaje?

Ningeeleza mengi hapa ila nasema kuugundua utatu huu wa mafisadi unaokamilisha ulaji wa pesa za umma ni hatua nzuri iliyochelewa kufikiwa lakini ni wakati umefika wazalendo kusema hapana kwa aina hii ya kuhujumu uchumi, thamani ya fedhaTanzania inazidi kushuka kwa sababu biashara yetu ya nje ni duni hii pia ni kwa sababu ya hujuma za ndani, fedha nyingi zinazopatikana kwa shida ikiwa ni mikopo kutoka kutoka nje au ni kodi za raia zinaishia kwenye matumbo ya watu wachache. Kuendelea kuimba kuwa umaskini uliopo ni sababu ya ukoloni mambo-leo ni wimbo uliochuja na unaoanza kupoteza ‘mashiko’.

Tukumbuke ndoto na matarajio ya waasisi wetu, tuige mifano ya nchi kama Rwanda tuikumbuke korea kusini ya mwaka 1961 na tuikumbuke Malaysia ya mwaka1962-TUAMKE. Na TANDASI ‘the walter sisulu junior.

Nazipenda nukuu za mwalimu

"those who receive this privelege have the duty to repay the sacrifice which others have made they are like the man who has been given all the food available in a starving village in order that he might have strength to bring supplies from a distant place. if he takes this food and does not bring help to his brothers, then he is the traitor..." (nukuu hii imebandikwa jengo la utawala wa chuo kikuu cha dar es salaam likiwa na lengo la kuhamasisha uzalendo kwa wasomi)

"In Tanganyika we believe that only evil, Godless men would make the color of a man's skin the criteria for granting him civil rights."Julius Kambarage Nyerere addressing British Governor-General Richard

"The African is not 'Communistic' in his thinking; he is -- if I may coin an expression -- 'communitary'."Julius Kambarage Nyerere as quoted in the New York Times Magazine on 27 March 1960.

"Having come into contact with a civilization which has over-emphasized the freedom of the individual, we are in fact faced with one of the big problems of Africa in the modern world. Our problem is just this: how to get the benefits of European society -- benefits that have been brought about by an organization based upon the individual -- and yet retain African's own structure of society in which the individual is a member of a kind of fellowship."Julius Kambarage Nyerere as quoted in the New York Times Magazine on 27 March 1960.

"We, in Africa, have no more need of being 'converted' to socialism than we have of being 'taught' democracy. Both are rooted in our past -- in the traditional society which produced us."Julius Kambarage Nyerere, from his book Uhuru na Umoja (Freedom and Unity): Essays on Socialism, 1967.

"No nation has the right to make decisions for another nation; no people for another people."Julius Kambarage Nyerere, from his A Peaceful New Year speech given in Tanzania on 1 January 1968.

"In Tanzania, it was more than one hundred tribal nits which lost their freedom; it was one nation that regained it."Julius Kambarage Nyerere, from his Stability and Change in Africa speech given to the University of Toronto, Canada, 2 October 1969.

"If a door is shut, attempts should be made to open it; if it is ajar, it should be pushed until it is wide open. In neither case should the door be blown up at the expense of those inside."Julius Kambarage Nyerere, from his Stability and Change in Africa speech given to the University of Toronto, Canada, 2 October 1969.

"You don't have to be a Communist to see that China has a lot to teach us in development. The fact that they have a different political system than ours has nothing to do with it."Julius Kambarage Nyerere, as quoted in Donald Robinson's The 100Most Important People in the World Today, New York 1970.

"...intellectuals have a special contribution to make to the development of our nation, and to Africa. And I am askin understanding that they should possess, should be used for the benefit of the society of which we are all members."Julius Kambarage Nyerere, from his book Uhuru na Maendeleo (Freedom and Development), 1973.

Siasa za kidini ni jinamizi kwa maendeleo

2009-09-07T06:20:00.000-07:00

Kuongoza watu si jambo la kufanyiwa madhanio rahisi ni shughuli pevu, ni lazima uwe mwanasiasa kwelikweli. Kwa maana yangu siasa ni mfumo unaoendelezwa na watu wa eneo fulani kusimamia maamuzi,utawala na nidhamu ili kujiletea maendeleo yao.

Haimuhitaji mtu kusoma sana ili awe kiongozi mzuri, haikuhitaji ujue sana ma
hesabu ili uwe mwanasiasa mzuri inakuhitaji tu uwe na ufahamu mkubwa wa watu unao-waongoza na ujue namna ya kuuwashirikiana na hao (waongozwa) ili kufikia maendeleo. Kanuni kubwa ya kuwa mshindi katika siasa ni kuwa na 'mashiko' mbele ya wananchi, utalijenga hili si kwa kuongea kwa mbwembwe jukwaani, si kwa kujibizana na wanasiasa wenzio, si kwa kununua akili za watu kwa pesa nyakati za uchaguzi, si kwa kutumia joho lako kuaminisha watu maoni yako, bali kwa uaminifu wako katika kutimiza matakwa ya wananchi.

Nimeanza na hotuba hiyo hapo juu kujaribu kuangazia hali ya mambo inavyoendelea hapa nchini-,watu wmeshindwa kuelewa kuwa viongozi wa nchi kama wadau wakubwa wa siasa kamwe hataweza kumletea mtu chakula mezani,wao ni wasimamizi wa mipango ya jumla ndani ya nchi. Hivyo ninapoona watu fulani ndani ya jamii wanapoibuka na nyaraka na miongozo inayosomeka tu ni kupoteza muda, majuzi tu kanisa katoliki wakatoa waraka wao wenye lengo la kutahadharisha, na kuelekeza waumini wao habari ya mambo kuelekea uchaguzi siku kadhaa baadae waislamu nao wakatoa kile wanacho kiita mwongozo nao ukiwa na mwelekeo huo huo, haya ni maigizo ya wazi kitakacholeta mabadiliko si maneno wala maandishi bali ni utekelezaji wa ki-vitendo wa kila viongozi na washika dau wa maendeleo kama wafanyabiashara,wawekezaji na wanasiasa wa ngazi zote utekelezaji wa kile wanachotakiwa kufanya.

Mtafiti wa lugha na mtaalamu kuntu wa Afrika profesa Wole Soyinka katika mhadhara wake katika umajumuia wa Afrika (pan-africanism) anasema “muda umefika wa waaafrika kujifunza kuwaongoza viongozi wetu” kwani ni miongo takribani minne baada ya uhuru, Afrika imeonekana imekuwa ikiongozwa na ‘vichwa vibovu’ (Africa is headed by wrong heads) kama anavyosistiza Ngugi wa Thiong’o katika kitabu chake kipya kinachoitwa “kuikumbuka afrika” (re-membering Africa) profesa Wole alilisema hili katika hotuba yake katika maadhimisho ya wiki ya kigoda cha kitaaaluma cha J.K.Nyerere pale ukumbi wa Nkrumah.

Falsafa ya kuwaongoza viongozi ni ngumu kweli pale viongozi wa dini wanapodhani kuwaongoza viongozi ni kuandika waraka na kuusambaza kwa umma inakuwa ngumu pia pale viongozi wa dini wanapodhani kuwaongoza viongozi ni kwa kuwaonyesha viongozi wa nchi msimamo kwa kutamka tu maneno “hatutakubali kufundishwa namna ya kufanya” kama alivyokaririwa kardinali pengo, taasisi za kidini zinasahau kuwa kazi yao kubwa ni kushiriki kwa nguvu zote kubadilisha mioyo ya watu kiimani na sio kujiingiza katika mijadala ya kisisasa na kutumia kaminika kwao mbele ya waumini kutimiza malengo yao. Kwanza kwa kufanya hivyo ni kupoteza umakini wa waumini kwenye imani yao na hata hivyo dini kujiingiza kwenye siasa tena katika ulimwengu huu wa demokrasia ni kupandikiza mbegu ya umakundi wa kidini, ambao utazaa ubinafsia wa kidini na baadae udini kamili.Sumu kwa umoja wa kitaifa.

Ninampenda sana Martine Luther king japo alitumia nafasi yake ya kidini, kuitumikia siasa, ya kwake haikuwa ya kilaghai, ilikuwa ni halali yenye lengo la kuletea mageuzi ndio maana aliunga mkono migomo na maaandamano halali na aliyashiriki kikamilifu, hata Mwalimu Julius Nyerere na mwenyekiti Mao tse sung waliamini hivyo
Ili kuleta mageuzi ya kweli hautakiwi kuishia kutoa tahadhari tena kwa namna ya nyaraka tu ni lazima uwe muasi wa kweli wa maovu na utapeli wa viongozi wapotofu na si kujikweza kwa sifa za ki-majukwaa ili kupata umaarufu.Swali ni mara ngapi taasisi za kidini zimekuwa mstali wa mbele kukatisha tamaa watu wanaodai haki na mageuzi kwa vitendo,je si hawa viongozi ambao hujitokeza kwenye vyombo vya habari kupinga harakati za kupinga unyonyaji wa kiafrika pale ambapo wanafunzi
wanapopinga mikopo inayotolewa kibabaishaji, pale wafanyakazi wa mashirika ya umma wanapodai maslahi zaidi kujikimu?
pia ni mara ngapi taasisi za kidini zimetumiwa na wanasiasa wababaishaji kama majukwaa y a ulaghai na kupotosha umma

Wanadini watakubaliana na mimi kuwa kutumia misimamo ya kidini kujadili mambo yanayohusiana na siasa ni kupotoka kimtazamo na ni mwanzo wa mawazo mgando yanayoegemea upande mmoja wa fikra na huu ni mwanzo wa ubinafsia wa kidini .Hatari kwa taifa.

Mwisho nasema dini zishiriki kikamilifu kupika viongozi waaminifu wanaojali watu, wenye misimamo ya kizalendo na sio kutukuza wababaishaji na kisha kuja baadae kwa mtindo wa nyaraka kujaribu kuzima moto.Hata Baba wa taifa Julius Nyerere akizungumzia mambo ya imani za kidini katika kitabu chake -Uhuru na umoja anasema "tunaambiwa kuwa binadamu aliumbwa kwa mfano wa Mungu nakataa kumfikiria Mungu aliye maskini, mjinga, muoga,mbaguzi mwenye chuki,na mnyonyaji ambao wengi wetu ndivyo tulivyo". Hakuna kiongozi aliye mkamilifu tuache siasa za kidini tutafute mbinu za kuwaongoza viongozi wetu kikamilifu.

ULAFI WA MADARAKA CHANZO C`HA USALITI

2009-06-06T06:25:00.000-07:00

Kila marefu hayakosi ncha ndo usemi ninaoanza nao katika kuasisi mjadala huu ambao naamini utakua huru na na endelevu kwani hata mfalasafa Socrates anaamini kuwa hoja ya kichokonozi ndio mwanzo wa migongano wa mawazo.

Kwa muda mrefu magazeti na vyombo vingine vya habari vimekuwa vikitaliwa na skendo za ufisadi,rushwa ndogo na kubwa, kupeana vyeo kienyeji,raisi kumpa mke uwaziri ama waziri mkuu kumpa mwanae Tume aendeshe lakini kwamuda mrefu pia haijatokea sababu inayozibeba sababu nyingine za kwa nini uovu katika uongozi umeziba mwanya wa uadilifu.

Nimefikiri nimegundua asili ya uovu huu katika tabaka la viongozi ni ulafi wa madaraka ambao huzaaa tamaa ya mali ambazo wenye nazo wakishazipata, suala la kulewa madaraka ndilo ambalo hufuata kisha kiburi cha madaraka na roho ya unyang’au dhidi ya maslahi ya wanyonge ndio huwa mapambo ya jumba la uongozi ambako huko sasa walafi wakubwa hushirikiana na makupe wadogo wadogo kunyonga uhuru, kuruhusu magendo na kuficha haki na halali za watu huku wakipiga vifua kwa majigambo ya pesa , tabasamu na meno nje gegedu kana kwamba wao ni watu wema.

Kazi ya mke ndani ya familia katika mila zetu za hapa kwetu Afrika ni kuingalia familia, kuijali na kuilea familia hususani watoto katika maadili mema hilo ndio jukumu la mama wa kiafrika, vivyo vivyo kazi ya mwalimu ni kufundisha, kusahihisha na kugawa njia za kufaulu mitihani kwa wanafunzi wake.Huu ndio mlinganyo kati ya mama wa kiafrika na mwalimu. Mwanaharakati mpenda haki na mwana mapinduzi kazi yake ni kufichua uovu, kutoa nuru, kutia chachu ya kudai haki nakuendeleza mapambano. Lakini hawa watu wote watatu hawawezi na kamwe hawataweza kumfunga mtu kamba nakutembea naye kila mahali ili kuona kuwa anaenda kama wao walivyomuelekeza, kwa hiyo mtoto akifuata njia za dunia badala ya maongozo ya mama yake hayo ndio majuto yake, mwanafunzi akipuuza mbinu za mwalimu wake huko ndiko kufeli kwake, mwananchi akisubiri mbumge amletee maendeleo na haki mkononi kama zawadi huo ndio umaskini wake.
Ulafi wa madaraka ndio uliomfukuza shetani mbinguni leo shida zote zimeletwa na y eye. Kazi ya kuonya nakuelekeza inapokwisha na mwanadamu akashupaza shingo kinachosubiriwa ni ile kauli ya wahenga kuwa asyesikia la mkuu……. Ama kwa hakika atavujika vipande vipande na kumbu kumbu lake litasahaulika na likikummbukwa liitavikwa kofia ya unyonyaji, kiburi na usaliti.

Ndiyo yali yomtokea Bokasa, Ian smith, P.W.Botha, Laurent Kabila, Idd Amin, Edward Lowasa na wengineo ambao mazuri yao waliyofanya wala hayakukumbukwa balio historia imewanukuu, kwa kiburi chao na ulafi wao wa madaraka ambao mwishoni Umma uliwavika vazi la aibu-VAZI LA USALITI

PATRIOTISM; GREAT MEDICINE FOR CORRUPTION

The period between 2001 and 2003, was the period of rumors and under the carpet stories of corruption and misuse of public offices in Geita, the place where I had my primary and 0-level education. It was the evils of corruption and misuse of public offices by local government officials and the Geita Gold mine company officials-a private company owned by a merger of two foreign mining corporates, the Anglo Gold America and the Ashanti Ltd, from west Africa.

This is the untold story involving a series of corrupt actions,
ranging from using dirty money to grab land for themselves claiming that it was theirs, fake and corrupt valuation of properties and lands of the Mtakuja and Nyakabale villagers which led to a hazard and bad impact which is still pertaining till today. I say this hazard of corruption has continued growing in our nation and it has captured our nation in the herd of chaos and riots from different social groups, from politicians to students, from the current public workers to the retired public workers, this all being due to insufficient of patriotism among the Tanzania nationals, see when investigators of that corruption saga came out with their result, it was learned that the whole circle of corruption was developed by the nationals. What a bad news!

In my own words, patriotism refers to the situation where people are very concerned with all the matters of their nation, that one can not participate in anyway of obscuring the nation’s progress. It involves people ignoring all and choose to go hand in hand with development stake holders of his nation. In other words people who have fallen in love with their country are the patriots. Our country has continued lagging behind development and among the all factors, corruption has kept its position in bringing down our economy.

Speaking to the people of his country, president Kikwete in his closing speech of the year 2008, when he also extended his seasonal greetings to his people, president Kikwete appealed to all government officials and its institutions to be true partners of their responsibilities. Having awareness of the extra-ordinary growing of chaos in the country, he called upon obedience and professional integrity of the government officials especially when he spoke strongly about the cheating in the government books of accounts which has led to much financial embezzlements. “It is very possible that the books of financial accounts are well written and the credits being awarded to the particular accountant, but the project done with those money is not seen” he insisted.

It is because of low patriotism, Tanzania saw corruption happening even during those very strict days of Mwalimu Nyerere’s leadership where by one corrupt minister Oscar Kambona had to fly to abroad trying to avoid the killing hand of Mwalimu Nyerere, whom to me is one among the sons of Africa who were very patriot and indeed very concerned with the progress of Africa, Tanzania in particular corruption which is the unfinished agenda has locked most of the Tanzanians those who in power and those who are not, all of them in the house titled POOR PATRIOTISM.

Being disapointed by the declining popularity of his CCM- the ruling party one of the CCM veterans, Mzee Butiku who is also the chairman of the Mwalimu Nyerere Foundation, shoked me when he said he wrote to Benjamin Mkapa, former president of Tanzania alerting him that there was a good number of big corrupt figures in his cabinet the so called ‘big fishes’ but unfortunately in his words he claimed that there was no even response to that letter, but today the country has seen two of those ‘big fishes’ of corruption turned to be the customers of the court, being charged of awkwardly usage of public offices when they were in power, especially the most arrogant minister of those days Mr. Basil Mramba

Its only when we as Africans, we as Tanzanians shall decide to go back to our roots which shall remind us of the original aspirations that we had and it is obvious that every person wanted to see his\her country outstandingly emerging as the developed nation. We should have learned from the different corruption sagas which happened in our country the RICHMOND, the EPA, the Buzwagi and many more, but seems that we do not.

Now that we need changes is high time to stand against this hazard which has destroyed us tremendously.

Go Africa go !

MAKARATASI YA KIHUNI

Hakika bado kazi ipo kwa serikali ya jamhuri ya muungano wa Tanzania,kwani unyama inaondelea kuwafanyia watoto wa Tanzania bado ni wa kutisha hivi kweli nchi imeshindwa kabisa kuchukua strategies za kumkomboa mwanafunzi huyu watanzania na imeona ni bora kumwua kabisa kisaikoljia na kuzidi kudidimiza future ya huyu mtoto wa mvuja jasho, kweli huu ni wakati wa kutumia siasa za jino kwa jino?

Niliposoma masharti ya kurudishwa chuoni kwa kutumia lazima ya makaratasi ya kihuni ambayo mimi naona yanadhalilisha wasomi nchini kwamba mimi nilidhani kuwa kama wasomi ambao ni nembo ya ukom bozi katika nchi yoyote basi umuhimu wao kwa jamii yao (social rationale) na ambao mimi naamini kama serikali itaua nguvu ya wana-elimu ya juu, nguvu yao ya kuhoji kupinga, kuonya na kuhakiki, hivi nchi yetu itakuwa inakwenda wapi? ni lazima serikali ikumbuke kuwa wasomi wa hapa nchini hususani wa chuo kikuu mama, yani university of dar es salaam, ni jicho la wasioona, sikio la wasio sikia, mdomo wa wasio zungumza na mwanga
kwa walio gizani. nasema hivi kwa sababu wasomi ndio wenye mwanga na wanaoweza kuchambua na kuisoma hali nzima ndani ya nchi.

Unapowazima unaua uwezo wao wa kuona mustakbali wa taifa, Kitakachotokea baadae watakosa uzalendo na baadae kila mtu ataamini kuwa ukitaka haki ni lazima uwe mmoja kati ya wanaotoka katika tabaka tawala,ukisha jenga imani hii umeua uzalendo kwa asilimia zote ,hivyo nchi itakuwa na watu wengi kukimbilia kwenye siasa ili wawe watawala, kwa hiyo nchi badala ya kuwa eneo la uzalishaji itakuwa sehemu ya kuchafuana kisiasa,huo utakuwa mwanzo wa janga lingine la kitaifa,wasomi ni sauti ya wanyonge wasio na sauti leo unapo wakandamiza unawafanya wawe viziwi na hata wasisikie maovu yanayotendwa na watawala, HATARI! kwani taifa litabaki kuwa la watu wa ndiyo mzee na wasiohoji, kwani watakuwa hawajui nini kinajiri mbele, basi yatufaa nini nchi hii, ambayo bado ni yetu sote? basi mnyonge atapata wapi nafasi ya kusikia na kuona, kama bado wanaomwezesha wanazuiwa na kufungiwa wasitoe habari ili watu waendelee na kutokujua kwao ni hakika litaangamia

.Watu hawa hawa wanaotutesa sasa hivi, watakuja msimu wa uchaguzi na kuendeleza yale yale ya kwao ya kutuahidi hata yale ambayo ni bayana kuwa hayatekelezeki.Ndio, ni mchezo tu wa kutoa ahadi, ajira milioni moja ndani ya miaka mitano, maisha bora kwa kila mwananchi na bado baadhi yetu tutaendelea KUJIDHALILISHA kwa kupewa tisheti na kofia na kisha kutoa kura na kuuza haki yetu, ya kujinasua na umaskini hivi ndugu zangu tutaachana lini na aibu hii? nasema hivi kwa sababu kuendelea kuwapa madaraka baadhi ya watu ni kufanya umasikini uzidi kukita mizizi katika nchi yetu, haitakubalika hata kidogo.
Ninakebehi umaskini wa mawazo ulioonyeshwa na baaadhi ya maprofesa pale viwanjani chuo kikuuu cha Dar es salaam siku ya mahafali ya kitivo cha biashara na uongozi ambapo,profesa mmoja asiye maarufu hapa nchini alisema “vijana wasome na waache siasa,kwani chuoni sio uwanja wa mapambano ya kisiasa” mwisho wa kumnukuru, mi nasema huyu ni profesa butu na mvivu wa kufikiri, kwani alisahau mambo mengi tu wakati akiongea haya, kwani alisahau kuwa, elimu ilimmumwezesha Jakaya kikwete kudai haki kama kiongozi wa wanafunzi UDSM ya wakati ule, elimu ilimwezesha pia mwalimu Nyerere kuanzisha tawi la T.A.A huko makere na siku moja akaazimu kuacha ualimu ili aitumikie siasA yapo mengi aliyosahau nikyataja mkono wangu utauma na kalamu yangu itaisha wino.

Niseme tu kuwa chuo kikuu cha dares salaam na pengine hata katika vyuo vingine elimu ya siasa inafundishwa kwa takribani mika mitau na zaidi wanafunzi wanafun dishwa mbinu za uongozi na siasa, kama elimu hii inafundishwa kwa ajiri ya vyeti vya kutafutia kazi tu, basi mi naona na mtakubaliana na mimi kuwa umuhimu wake kwa jamii (social significance) haupo, kwa maana hiyo basi wahadhiri mahiri kama Dr Bruce na Dr lwaitama hakuna wanalolifanya kwani wanaendelea kufundisha wasomi wa vyeti ambao hakuna hata ofisi moja inayotaka watu wa namna hii na huwaajiri kwa bahati mbaya tu, lakini hawanana usomi wowote.

Mwisho nasema “mabadiliko ni mchakato na mchakato ni mabadiliko” japo hayatakuja kwa siku moja, bado “there is a wish that should not die” nayo ni nia ya kuendelea kuyataka mabadiliko. ‘MJUMBE NAWASILISHA HOJA’

Wakati wa uchumi wa viwanda ni sasa,,,.

Amka TANZANIA, , , ,.Nchi yangu amka wakati ni huu amka,wanakuacha wako mbali sana,sasa vaa viatu ujifunge mkanda,kaza sura, kimbia, mpaka uwafikie,ukiwafikia usipumzike. watakupita tena,haya ni maneno yenye hamasa na uchungu nayojisikia kumwambia huyu ndugu yangu shujaa,mtafutaji anayeukaribisha unyonge wa kudumu, ananyemelea maendeleo lakini anatafunwa na uzembe pamoja na uvivu wa kufikri.

Ndio,maendeleo bado, uhuru bado, mafanikio bado,uchumi wa viwanda bado(not yet industrialized) ni habari ya kweli ndani ya Tanzania.Wachumi ulimwenguni kote wanaamini katika nguvu ya viwanda, katika kuimarisha uchumi wa nchi.Inaaminika kuwa ili nchi isonge mbele kwa matumaini ya kuwa na uchumi huru na endelevu, viwanda lazima vipambazuke hivi vikiimarika, uchumi utakua pia,wachumi wanaamini ili nchi iitwe iliyoendelea (developed) ni lazima sekta ya viwanda ndio inafanya sehemu kubwa ya pato la taifa,hali hii haipo tanzania kwa karne iliyopita viwanda vimekuwa vinachangia 8% tu ya pato la taifa, ushahidi unaonekana na sote inabidi tuamini hivyo, katika nchi nyingi zlizoendelea ndio sekta kubwa ichangiayo pato la taifa tusipowekeza huku kwenye , jinamizi hilooo! linakuja.

Kwa nchi nyingi ambazo zimeelemea kwenye kilimo kama nchi yetu,ambapo asilimia kubwa tu ya pato la taifa inajengwa na kilimo ni maendeleo duni hafifu tu ndio huonekana huko, nchi kama Malawi, Ghana na hata Msumbiji, na hii yote ni kwa sababu hata kilimo chenyewe huwa bado hakina tija.Hivyo mi naona kabisa kwamba, sisi kuwa nchi ya ki-viwanda ni ndoto inayoweza kuwa kweli ndani ya muda mfupi ujao, na mkakati wa kuifikisha nchi hapo iwe ni sasa na tunapoweka mkakati wa kuimarisha sekta hii, tusiangalie mwanzo wa mkakati, au kufikiria kuanza kutekeleza katikati ya kipindi cha mkakati huo (duration of the plan) au mwishoni,bali iwe ni mwanzo wa mkakati, na mapema iwezekanavyo.Mpango wa kuendeleza sekta ya viwanda uliopendekezwa na kuanzishwa mwaka 1975,(the basic industrialization straergy of 1975) mkakati wa miaka 20 ambao uliisha mwaka 1995, haukufanikiwa kikamilifu, pamoja na sababu nyingi kuainishwa nafikiri utekelezaji hafifu nao ulichangia, na kwa kweli utekelezaji duni wa mikakati na mipango, ni sumu katika kuinua sekta ya viwanda.

Wakati hasa wa kuimarisha viwanda Tanzania, ni sasa na hili halina mjadala, kwani haizuiliki tena duniani, ili nchi yetu tuachane na njaa, utegemezi, kipato cha chini,ajira chache,ukoloni mamboleo, ni lazima sasa tujiimarishe kiuchumi na ama kwa hakika uchumi wa ki-viwanda, umaarufu wa kusifiwa tu, kuwa tu nchi ya amani, hautatupeleka popote, japo uchumi wa dunia sasa unaporomoka tusirudishwe nyuma na hilo, tuanze ama tuendelee tu na mikakati yetu ya kuinua uchumi wa nchi,wakati masoko ya fedha yana suasua duniani, uchumi utakapo poromoka zaidi, sisi akina hohe hahe ndio tutakaoumia zaidi na mafisi wa magharibi ndio wata tumia mwanya huo kutunyonya zaidi hivyo ni lazima sasa tuifufue sekta hii ama sivyo tutakuwa nchi ya kwanza kwa umaskini duniani.

Jukumu hili hatutafanyiwa na mtu kutoka ulaya au marekani,au shirika lolote la kimataifa, ni sisi wenyewe na serikali yetu, serikali sasa iache bla bla, itumie mashirika yake kama TIRDO na SIDO na sasa iwe ni uvumbuzi tu, iwe ni kuumiza tu kichwa kwa ajiri ya kuleta teknolojia za kisasa hapa nchini, hii inaweza ikawa ngumu kuitazama lakini mimi nasema, tuwatumie wale wanaojiita washirika wetu wa maendeleo, kutupatia wataalamu waje huku kwetu, watoe mafunzo, tujikamue tununue teknolojia wataalamu hao wazalishe huku huku kwetu, katika mazingira ya kwetu, waje watuzalishie,huku wakifundisha watu wetu, hii iliweza kunyanyua uchumi wa afrika kusini, na nchi zenye uchumi wa unaokua kwa kasi, nchi za asia kama, Korea kusini,Taiwani, Malaysia,n.k ambazo nyingi takwimu zinaonyesha kuwa wakati tunapata uhuru mwaka 1961 tulikuwa takribani katika maendeleo yanayoendana lakini wenzetu wamefika mbele mpaka uchumi wao unaitwa uchumi wa chui (tiger economies).

Hili litawezekana kama serikali italivalia njuga na kuweka mikakati inayoipa kipaumbele sekta ya viwanda, na iwe mikakati inayotekelezeka kwa mazingira yetu na iwe 'sasa utekelezaji' (implementation now).Mimi nakebehi suala la kuwa na washirika wa maendeleo wa kutupatia pesa tu,kufanya makongamano, na mikutano ya semina ni kupoteza fedha tu na kutengeneza tu mianya ya rushwa na uhalifu dhidi ya mali ya uma.
Serikali ikasomeshe vijana wetu huko katika nchi za huku ikinunua teknolojia ili baadae uzalishaji ufanyike ndani, kama inavyowasomesha, watalaamu wa ndege na marubani wakati hili likifanyijka hao wataalamu wa kigeni waendelee kuzalisha hapa nyumbani,mimi naamini hili likifanyika kwa dhati tutafika mbali.

Viwanda duni vinaua biashara yetu ya nje, inaendeleza utegemezi wetu kutoka kwa weupe, inazorotesha kipato cha watanzania na taifa kwa ujumla. Tutachekwa hadi lini? Watu wengine wanatamani Tanzania ndio ingekuwa nchi yao, utajiri wote huu, madini yote hayo, mbuga za wanyama zote hizo, raslimali watu ya kutosha bado tuendelee kuitwa nchi maskini, haiwezekani na tusipoamua kujiimarisha JINAMIZI HILOOO LINAKUJA!

Viwanda ni sasa Amka Tanzania Amka!

nita kukumbuka daima

Wana-chuo kikuu na falsafa ya ''mchumia juani"

2008-12-01T03:36:00.000-08:00

"Ama kweli mchumia juani hulia kivulini"anasikika mtoa hoja fulani akitoa tamko lake,"Hapajatokea mtanzania mwenye mvuto na mguso mkubwa katika maisha ya watu kama mwalimu Julius nyerere" hapa anazidi kutilia mkazo hoja yake.Bila shaka hakuna asiye elewa umaarufu alionao Mwalimu J.K Nyerere mbao ama kwa hakika utadumu milele. mafanikio ya uhakika waliyopata akina Nyerere na wengineo tuwaonao leo hayakuja kama ndoto.

Mwenyezi MUNGU akatutunuku nguvu na akili tukawa watu timamu ndani ya jamii, hapa ndipo suala la kuhitajika kushughulisha akili na nguvu zetu ili tuyakabili maisha na changamoto zake linashika hatamu, ndipo sasa mtoa mada naitunuku umaridadi falsafa ya 'mchumia juani hulia kivulini' kwamba kamwe hautalia kivulini,bila kuchumia juani,wahenga wanabainisha kuwa kuchumia juani, ni kuwajibisha akili na nguvu zako ili utimize malengo yako ya kimaisha yakiwemo mafanikio

Mwandishi mahiri wa gazeti la mtanzania Daniel Mallya anafananisha falsafa ya 'mchumia juani' na 'utamu wa fundo la muwa ambao haupatikani bila japo ya kulitafuna ganda la muwa'. Hii inamaanisha kila binadamu hutakiwa kufanya juhudi fulani ili kuyafikia mafanikio na ili kushiriki katika kuijenga jamii anayoishi na taifa zima kwa ujumla.Daniel Mallya anaendelea kusema kuwa "msomi asiye tumia elimu aliyonayo na kubaki kujitukuza kwa vyeti na shahada alizonazo tu, ni sawa na debe tupu lisiloisha makelele, na msomi wa aina hii ni kikwazo kwa mandeleo" anasisitiza.

Tafakari hii ya mchumia juani ikapata pia kujadiliwa na msomi Nelson Mandela, mpigania uhuru wa afrika kusini, naye akadodosa akisema katika kitabu chake kiitwacho 'NO EASY JOURNEY TO FREEDOM' akasema njia za mkato kelekea uhuru zingepelekea utumwa wa kudumu wa waafrika waishio ukanda ule kama ambavyo makaburu waliwashawishi weusi waingie kwenye shirikisho ambalo wao ndio wangebaki wenye sauti ya mwisho ndani ya nchi ile. Hilo likapingwa kikamilifu,lakini kwa juhudi na maumivu makali huku Mzee Madiba akisota gerezani 'Roben island prison' kwa takribani miaka ishirini na saba

Hivyo hoja hii naileta kwenu wasomi kwamba usomi wetu,mafanikio yetu ndani ya nchi yetu hii tajiri kwa rasrimali havitaletwa na majisifu ya kuwa na shahada na vyeti, bali kuyaingiza maarifa katika maisha yetu halisi.TUSIPOFANYA HIVYO HATUTAELEWEKA KWA NAMNA YOYOTE ILE.

Katika nchi yoyote ile wasomi wengi kama sio wote, ndio wamekuwa nembo ya ukombozi na uadilifu hivyo nawaalika wote tuzidi kuujenga ukoo wa wakereketwa wasiobweteka katika kujiletea maendeleo yao, wao wenyewe.

Mwisho mtoa hoja nahitimisha kwa kuwatupia 'jungu kuu' kwamba UFAHAMU NI NGUVU NA FIKRA ZILIZOPAUKA SIKU ZOTE HUTOA MAWAZO MGANDO,tujipiganie tuipiganie nchi yetu.
