KISA CHA WANAFUNZI 5 WA CHUO

Wanafunzi watano wa chuo kikuu kimoja
hapa nchini walikuwa wanatakiwa
wafanye mtihani siku ifuatayo. Wale
wanafunzi wakanywa pombe mpaka saa
nane usiku. Siku ya mtihani wote wakawa na uchovu
wa hangover,hivyo wakashindwa kwenda
kufanya mtihani. Wakatunga uongo wa kuenda
kumwambia Lecturer wa somo
husika.Wakaenda kumdanganya Lecturer
kuwa walishindwa kufanya mtihani kwa
sababu jana walienda harusini na wakati
wanarudi gari lao likapata pancha na wakavamiwa na majambazi wakawapiga
na kuwaibia. Yule Lecturer akakubali na akawapa siku
tatu za kujiandaa kwa Special exam. Siku ya mtihani special,Lecturer aliwapa
ma paper na kuwasimamia mwenyewe.
Mwongozo wa mtihani ulikuwa kama
ufuatavyo; 1.Mtihani huu ni kwa wanafunzi watano. 2.Majibu yao yote yafaa yawe
sawa...yakiwa tofauti watapata zero na
kufeli. 3.Mtihani huu una maswali matano na
yote lazima yajibiwe. Maswali ya mtihani yalikuwa hivi: 1.Harusi ilifanyika sehemu gani? 2.Gari mliotumia mpaka mkapata pancha
inaitwaje? 3.Ajali ilitokea eneo gani? 4.Nani alikuwa dereva? 5.Tairi ipi ilipata pancha...ya mbele au
nyuma? NAWATAKIA MTIHANI MWEMA.

TRUTH

                                           TRUTH

A five letters word, whose subject is hardly clear, and almost impossible to touch the subject in coherent way, merely contemporary. The subject itself has been debatable in both philosophical and religious point of view for years. Truth is a reality, fact, fidelity. There is gigantic difference between truth and belief, some folks use these terms transposable, but the latter is subjected to relativity, while the former does not. Truth is truth.

Belief is optional, obsession and sometimes emotional, but truth doesn’t relies on facts, evidence and rationality.

Truth is the life style, which involves both quality of faithfulness, fidelity, loyalty, sincerity, and veracity. Its life style which has proven to be most unfeasible one, its horrid task to practice. For other folks truth is missing vocabulary in their life.

Truthful person, tells truth unconditionally, it doesn’t matter either ruin his reputations or heave his status. Its reflex .its lifestyle.

Truth victimizes, resent, deform, devalue, and sometimes fail even to the one telling or to his/her allies or public figure. As the deepest urge in human nature is desire to be important, and human being always craving to be appreciated. These desires are easily gained by lying, blackmailing, malice, misleads, on the other hand it seems tough to attain through being honest and truthful. To my opinion the former is subjected to pseudo status, never last -easy come, easy go.

As to truth, deceitful has same upshot, it victimize, resent, deform, and even takes lives. But in this case deceiving doesn’t cost the one telling it, it does to third part. So Truth and lying shares same similarities, thus separated by narrow margin, should the one cross or swing in the line, according to circumstances, should we balance lie and truth? - I remain skeptical.

Does it worth to tell a passer-by,   “I saw your girl friend with another dude last night” or telling the assassin the details to his stratagem?  It’s futile. Thus truth without wisdom is more like an empty set. The two variables must be equated and solved simultaneously, truth and wisdom are synergies.

Let me hypotheses; truth is the inborn character, genetically constituted in some one’s genes, its  nature to tell the truth, children are entitled to truth, its  reflex to them, they never lies.  That’s why judicial system adopts the testimony given by children.

Wisdom is inborn as well as acquired traits, it’s through this second parameter the one can decide his/her lifestyle-truthfully, deceitfully life style or balance of the two.

OBAMA; The Abracadabra

When you ask me,to mention a politician i adore  much,definitely its Barack Obama
Obama is such a charismatic, rhetorician,and focused.he defines what the modern politics should be...his journey to the top office is unlikely..his background is  uncertain,being a son to a father from forgotten corner of the world,with a mother of low income strata, would not even predict the journey of this Guy.
But with hopes,guts,determination,and strong faith, a first American black president is possible.its possible because Barack  believed in Dr.Martin Luther king's dream,its possible because Rose parks refused to leave a bus seat to a white person in December 1st 1954.

a basketball player  who become a great orator,rhetorician,and political pundit,he used to stand tall in podium speaking with confidence on what he strongly believe America should be,a change that he wished all American deserve,gave him enough vote to white house.
Barack chose to be a volunteer,a community organizer,instead of being employed for white color jobs with better salary like many youth after their first graduations. Through his job a volunteer, he experienced first hand challenges that common citizens faces,he learned how decisions of politicians in Washington affects common people...its through these experiences, his journey to the biggest office in the world started,he was determined to solve those problems.


spring field -Chicago was a place where Abraham Lincoln stood for a "divided house" its the same place Barack told the world that "yes we can" for the 1st time.

HADITHI YA KUSISIMUA

HADITHI HII IMETUNGWA NA MZEE MWANAKIJIJI WA JAMII FORUMS....KUTOKANA NA MVUTO WAKE NIMEIWEKA HAPA KWA NIA YA KUPATA BURUDANI KWA WAPENZI WA HADITHI KAMA MIMI

..................................................................................................................

Tangu utotoni nilijuwa kuwa nimejaliwa uzuri wa maumbile na sura. Nikiwa mtoto wa kike wa pekee na wa mwisho wa Mzee Erasto Malyamkono (mtaani alijulikana kama Mzee Mswahili) nilikuwa nimedekezwa nikadekeka. Kaka zangu walikuwa wakinichunga utadhani mboni ya jicho vile, na hakuna kitu nilichotamani ambacho sikukipata. Nilijitahidi kuitunza heshima yangu na heshima ya familia hususan maswala ya wanaume. Nilimaliza kidato cha nne kule Bwiru Mwanza na baadaye kujiunga na shule ya Masista wa Damu Takatifu kule Kifungilo Lushoto. Hadi naanza kidato cha tano nilikuwa bado bikira.

Kabla ya hapo vijana wengi kule mtaani maeneo ya Isamilo walikuwa wakinitaka na kunifukuzia. Nawakumbuka kina Maiko, John, Almasi na Mugisha (alikuwa na umbo kubwa na kakichwa kidogo, utadhani hana shingo) wa pale magorofa ya Benki jinsi walivyokuwa wakinisarandia. Nilikuwa mcheshi na sikuwa na maringo yoyote. Yangu yalikuwa ni maneno na ahadi kem kem, lakini kuwavulia chupi la!! Nilikula vi pesa vyao vya sangara n(a kujinoma kwa tuzawadi twao.) Mademu wengi pale mtaani walinichukia sana, na hawakuficha wivu wao. Wengi waliokuwa wakinitaka walikuwa ni watoto wa wakubwa (miongoni mwao walikuwemo mtoto wa Jaji maarufu na mwingine alikuwa ni mtoto wa RPC). Namkumbuka mhindi mmoja ambaye naye alikuwa akinifukuzia ile mbaya. Nilijiona mimi ni malkia wa mbingu nikiitetemesha nchi kila nipitapo.

Ilikuwa ni huko Lushoto ndiko nilikopata kwa mara ya kwanza kuonja joto la mapenzi. Ilikuwa ni likizo ya pili ndipo nilipokutana na Petro J Shekitondo (Alipenda kuitwa PJ). Basi letu lilisimama pale Mombo kwa ajili ya kujipatia chakula kabla ya kuendelea na safari yetu hadi Moshi. Yeye alikuwa ni mfanyakazi katika Hoteli ya Usambara, mojawapo ya hoteli mashuhuri pale Mombo. Nilikuwa nimekaa kwenye meza moja na marafiki zangu wawili; Sakina Mwanakibili (mtoto wa Mbunge) na Grace Chambi (mtoto wa Katibu wa Wizara, ambaye boyfriend wake alikuwa Mbunge mmoja).

Tukiwa tunapeana gumzo, tulikatishwa mazungumzo yetu na kijana mrefu, aliyevalia suruali ya jeans na T-Shirt yenye maandishi ya “Daytona Beach” Kifuani. Alikuwa ni mtanashati na sote watatu tulijikuta tukipoteza mtiririko wa mawazo kwa sekunde.

“Habari zenu” Alitusalimia kwa sauti nzito yenye upole
“Powa” Tulimjibu kwa pamoja huku tukijifanya hatumjali “Mko tayari kuagiza chochote” Alituuliza tena akituangalia kwa kutupokeza.
“Tupe dakika chache” Nilisema kwa niaba ya wenzangu, ambao waliafiki kwani muda wote huo tulikuwa tukipiga gumzo wala hatukuaangalia ile menu ubaoni.
“Clara” Grace aliniita
“Nini” Nilimjibu
“Mbona unamuangalia kaka wa watu utadhani unataka kummeza!” Aliniambia
“Hamna kitu, nilikuwa mbali tu” Nilimjibu, laiti wangejua ni umbali gani nilikuwa!!
“aha!” Walihamaki wote wawili kana kwamba hawakuamini maneno yangu. Aliporudi tena alijitambulisha kwetu kwa jina na kuchukua oda zetu.

Tulikula kwa haraka haraka kwani tulianza kusikia honi ya basi letu ikianza kulia. Kama kawaida tuliangalia alipokaa dereva na demu mmoja wakila, hatukuwa na haraka. Tulipomaliza kula tulijiandaa kuondoka. Kabla hata hatujafika nje tukasikia mtu akituita.
“Samahani kina dada” Alikuwa ni PJ Shekitondo.
“Nini tena” Tulimuuliza tukishangaa labda tumesahau kitu.
“Dada wewe” akinionyesha mimi, “naomba nikuulize kitu” alisema. Tukasogea chemba. Akaja karibu yangu kiasi cha kusikia joto la mwili wake na akasogea kuninong’oneza jambo.
“Tangu uingie hapa hotelini macho yangu yalikuwa kwako, natamani tufahamiane” Aliniambia na sauti kakamavu ilivunja vunja kila vizuio nilivyokuwa navyo. Sikuamini kuwa mwanamme anaweza kunigusa kihisia namna hiyo.
“Mbona basi letu liko karibu kuondoka” Nilimjibu kwa aibu na kudengua kidogo
“Si unasoma Kifungilo” Alinijibu kumbe alishajua mimi ni Mwanafunzi.
“Umejuaje? Kwani tuna alama kwenye paji?” Nilimjibu kwa aibu.
“Nimeshawahi kukuona mlipokuja Mazinde Juu kwa debate” Alinijibu. Dereva wa basi alitoka nje na kuelekea kwenye basi. Nikajua nilazime niamue haraka.
“Sikiliza John” Nilimwambia, “Ninarudi tena shuleni mwezi ujao katikati, labda tuwasiliane wakati huo au vipi?” Nilimwambia.
“Poa tu” Alinijibu.

Alichukua kipande cha karatasi na kuandika namba yake ya simu na kuniambia kuwa siku nikiwa njiani kurudi nimpigie ili tukutane. Nilimwahidi kuwa nitampigia simu wakati nikirudi toka likizo. Nilikimbilia kupanda basi. Rafiki zangu waliniangalia kwa mshangao jinsi uso wangu ulivyong’ara kwa aibu na soni. Wakataka niwasimulie yaliyotokea. Nilisubiri kwa hamu siku ya kurudi toka likizo.

***

Jinsi nilivyongojea kwa hamu likizo iishe. Nilikuwa najisomea vitabu, kuangalia TVs (hasa Oprah) na MTV n.k. Hata hivyo mawazo yangu yalikuwa kwa PJ tu. Sijui itakuwaje nikimuona, sijui bado atanionyesha kunitaka... nilifikiri nguo nitakazovaa na kama niweke nywele rasta au kalikiti. Kwa uchafu wangu wa mawazo nimwazia akiwa uchi mbele yangu!!, je nanihi yake kubwa kiasi gani!! Sijui niiguse au la. Mara nyingi nilijikuta nikijichekea mwenyewe. Katika hayo yote ilibidi nikubali mwenyewe kuwa sikuwa na utaalamu katika fani hiyo. Sijawahi kufanya mapenzi na mwanamume yeyote. Nilihisi kutetemeka kwani labda PJ anafikiri mimi nimeshawahi kuwa na mwanamume na hivyo atatarajia nimwonyeshe vitu vya nguvu kitandani. Itakuwaje basi nikiboronga? Nikatamani siku za zamani ambapo mabinti walikuwa wanakwenda unyago na kufunzwa na kufundwa!! Sijui nianzie wapi, nilijiwazia. Niseme wazi kuwa mambo mengi ya mapenzi nilijifunza toka gazeti la “Heko” kwenye darasa lake la Mapenzi na vitabu vingi vya mapenzi. Hata hivyo niligundua kuwa hakuna kitu mbadala zaidi ya kujifunza kwa vitendo. Nikaamua kuwa nitaenda kumwona dada Bupe.

Bupe alikuwa ni miongoni mwa kina dada waliochangamkia biashara ya mapenzi. Nilitambulishwa kwake na wanafunzi wenzangu wakati tukisoma Bwiru. Baadhi ya wanafunzi wa Bwiru walikuwa wanaunganishwa na Bupe na vibosile wa Mwanza na walikuwa wakikutana nyumbani kwa da Bupe pale Pasiansi si mbali sana na ule uwanja wa ndege wa Mwanza. Dada Bupe alikuwa ni kama anawamiliki wasichana hao. Kila mwisho wa wiki tunapopata ruhusa ya kwenda mjini, wengi walikuwa wanaishia kwa Bupe. Nilipopewa nafasi hiyo mimi nilikataa na sikurudi tena. Lakini nikimuwazia PJ nikagundua kuwa hakuna mtu mwingine anayeweza kunisaidia zaidi ya dada Bupe. Nilifunga safari siku ya Alhamisi na kupanda vi- Express yaani daladala za Mwanza hadi Pasiansi. Kwa vile ilikuwa ni wakati wa likizo, sikutarajia kukuta “wageni wengi pale”. Kulikuwapo na gari moja Toyota lenye nembo ya “Jimbo Kuu la Mwanza” limeegeshwa uani. Nilipobisha hodi, si mwingine aliyefungua mlango ila dada Bupe. Sikutaka kujua gari la Jimbo linafanya nini kwa kungwi.

“Karibu, nikusaidie nini?” Alijibu bila kuonyesha kama ananikumbua au la.
“Shikamoo da Bupe” Nilimsalimu nikipiga goti langu kidogo kwa mtindo wa Kisukuma.
“We acha kunizeesha, mambo vipi?” Badala ya kuitikia “marahaba” aliniyeyushia kiaina. Siku hiyo alikuwa amevalia kaptula ya khaki iliyomkaa vyema na alivalia T-shirt ya rangi nyekundu yenye maandishi ya kumetameta yasemayo “Playgirl”.
“Hunikumbuki, da Bupe” nilimuuliza. Tulikuwa bado tumesimama mlangoni.
“Nikumbushe basi usiniambie wewe ni ndugu yangu” Alisema akicheka.

Nilimkumbusha jinsi nilivyokutana naye kwa mara ya kwanza wakati nikisoma Bwiru kama miaka michache tu iliyopita. Akataka kujua kilichonileta hapo kwake, nilimweleza kinaganaga jinsi nilivyojikuta niko njia panda. Nilimuomba msaada wa ushauri wake. Akanikaribisha ndani, kwenye sebule iliyopambwa vizuri kwa makochi ya kifahari na samani za kila aina.

“Yaani unataka nikufundishe kufanya mapenzi” Aliniuliza
“Ndiyo, na zaidi jinsi ya kumridhisha mwanamme” Nilimwambia
“Ok, nitakufundisha itakugharimu lakini” Aliniambia
“Shilingi ngapi?” Nilimuuliza
“Shilingi eflu ishirini tu” Aliniambia bila hata ya kupoteza pumzi. Nilikubali.

Akaniambia kuwa nirudi na hizo fedha kesho yake, na niwe tayari kwa somo la kwanza litakalohusisha mimi kuvunjwa bikira yangu. Nilirudi nyumbani nikijisia afueni lakini mwenye wasiwasi. Sikujua kama uamuzi wangu ulikuwa ni wa busara au la. Hata hivyo nikajisemea moyoni, “maji ukiyavulia nguo, huna budo uyaoge”. Nimeyavulia nguo, niko tayari kuyaoga.

Mosquito, a must go spicies

                                         

Among 3500  of named species of mosquitoes, only couple of  hundred  bite or bother human. Though only few are of them are medical significance, but they cause huge medical and financial burden by spreading diseases like  yellow fever, Dengue fever, Japanese encephalitis, Rift valley fever,Filariasis ,Chikungunya virus,West Nile virus, to mention few.

Though its a small insects but its effect is devastating, it is named a most deadliest creature ever to exist  in world,as it  is responsible for millions of killing of people  far greater than all wars in history! World war II  claimed life of estimated 65Millions,Mongol conquest in 13^th century took approximately 50Millions people,while world war I coasted 20millions of soldiers and civillians,the list of war goes to hundreds ,but still Mosquitoes  over weigh the death toll. By these fact mosquitoes is named as most dangerous creature in the earth.

Malaria is one of the world’s last great scourges; it is endemic in 109 countries most being under developed in Sub Saharan continent  and Asia, keeping Population of 3.3 billion of people at risk of infection, this is more than half of world population being  at risk of malaria, more than 300millions peoples each year suffers of Malaria and kills almost a million of people each year. By this statistics only 10 years could perish Rwanda in history! Most of killings occur in sub Saharan countries ,and 9 out of 10 deaths occur in children under five(90%).according to WHO reports through  Roll Back Malaria (RBM) one child die in every sixty second in Africa due to malaria, the situation is a bit improved compared to ratio of  one child to every thirty seconds in 1998.

Contrary to WHO through Roll Back Malaria campaigns, it was projected in 1998 to halve deaths resulted from malaria by 2010 and halves by 2015. In Research done 2010 it indicated over 1.2 Million people die of Malaria, though skeptics invalidate the figure due to the use of verbal autopsy as a tool for data collections. Still it’s clear message the problem is still at its peak.

Tanzania fall in 23^rd position, another African country, Sierra Leone top the list of WHO ranks for Malaria mortality rate. In Tanzania Malaria mortality rate goes to sixty thousands persons  each year, this is just  a single disease, which claims lives equal to four times the population of university of dar es salaam students .if I should be clear Iraq war Causalities from January 2004 to December 2009 (5years) is around one hundred thousands, according to wiki leaks. Tanzania can attain Iraq’s casualties by HIV/AIDS (86,0000 deaths) and Malaria (60,000 deaths) alone for a year. This should not be a joke.

Apart from deaths, malaria  has  other  consequences; brain damage, experience cognitive of illness and child hood retardation which are so common in sub Saharan countries, As per  Millennium Development Goals Progression Report  (MDG) indicates about 40%  (almost half) of under five in Tanzania  are stunted due to Malnutrition and chronic infections, stunting is reflections of poor/under developments of both physical and intellect abilities of a child, this affects entire country  fail to develop economically, cementing a future of desperation and poverty that spans generations.

As 300millions people suffer of Malaria, on the other hand 34millions suffers from HIV/AIDS, with estimated 2.7Millions new case infections per year and around 2Millions die of HIV/AIDS each year worldwide. The one billion questions is; what is best way to deal with malaria?

To be specific with malaria and mosquitoes, of all 3500 named species, anopheles act as malaria vector, a female anopheles feeds on  vertebrate’s blood as host, while male  anopheles feeds on flower’s nectar!!

Through sucking blood, a malaria causative agent are injected; plasmodium species, of the four species of plasmodium;plasmodium vivax,malariae,ovale,are less dorminant,while plasmodium falciparum  counts about 80% of all malaria infections in sub Saharan continent .its these tiny species that hinder  (recession) economic recovery  estimated to 1.3% in GDP growth in Africa.Its plasmodium through mosquito accounting for 40% of outpatient clinics in Tanzania, and  Kenya and 40-50% of inpatient admission in Uganda, Kenya and Tanzania. Its  plasmodium  which costs the world $ 1.5-2.5 billions as estimated by RBM for malaria bettle.Tanzania spends about $52 Millions to combat the disease. Despite of multi vertical programmers’ like Ifakara health institute, Bill & Melinda foundation, Clinton foundation etc ,still the puzzle seems to be unsolved!!

Its high time to accept different approach, the absolute preventive measures has to come into effect  now than latter ,as indoor spraying has done for years, Insecticide treated net is almost  one bed to one net ratio, residual spraying and a vast anti malarial drugs ranging from Quinine,chloroquine,amodiaquine,pyrimethamine,prroguanil,sulfonamides,mefloquine,atevaquone,primaquine,to artemisinin and derivatives but still resistance peaks. Only new approach can rescue the world, and make the world free of Malaria as it is in Morocco, Armenia,Turkamistan,and UAE.

Its right time to eradicate the mosquito species. If not all species, at least anopheles, female anopheles.

Though it looks like futile idea to skeptics ecologist, and religious ethnic based on arguments;”wipping out species of mosquito could not leave predator without prey or plants without pollinator” and “we as human we don’t have  mandate to whip  God’s creatures” respectively, these speculations  need extensive discourse.

Yet in many cases, scientist acknowledges ecological scar left by a missing mosquito would heal quickly as the niche was filled by other organism. Life would continue as before and even better. Steven Juliano, Insect ecologist at Illinois state university says “it’s difficult to see what the downside would be removal, except for collateral damage”. Many lives will be saved; many would no longer be sapped.”the elimanationof anopheles would be very significant for mankind” a medical entomologist Carlos Bristola of federal university of santa catarina in Brazil stated,”a world without mosquito would be more sucured for us, he added.“The romantic notion of every creature having a vital place in nature may not be enough to plead the mosquito’s case. It is the limitations of mosquito-killing methods, not the limitations of intent, that make a world without mosquitoes unlikely”stated Janet fang a prominent scientist  in her  article; the world without mosquito, Nature magazine, July edition 2010

We need opinions from our noble scientists from Africa, Prof. Premji ,prof.  Kihamia ,or prof.Tarimo  the  parasitologist and entomologist at  Muhimbili university-MUHAS can have the same reservations? Who knows!

On eradication of mosquito species less burden on health system and hospitals, redirection of public-health expenditures for vector-borne diseases control to other priority health issues, less absentee from school. And it would recover African economy by 1.3% GDP.

Pharmaceuticals Company are making huge profit through Malaria, and there is myth malaria is the best investments in drug market!! Time is now, if we eradicated polio by 99%,measles,whooping cough, why not Malaria?. YES WE CAN.

It’s the right time to push the agenda, politician to ecologist, physician  to street vendors, to speak one language, its time time to invest our  billions  on developing best ways to eradicates these terrible species ,its time all stake holders to speak one language, its time for ecologist to weigh pros and cons, of keeping the species at expense of our lives.unless ecologist and religious ethnic comes with strong arguments  which favors this  “terrorist creature” otherwise their arguments are flawed as it is right
