“Through that loss it’s also possible to find yourself” -Iyanla Vanzat
Ujumbe mfupi lakini ni mzito sana! “In this journey called life, it is possible to lose everything. Through that loss it’s also possible to find yourself”!!…………. Watu wengi (including myself) tunapoteza muda mwingi kuwaza kwanini hiki kinatokea kwangu? au kwanini hawa watu wananitenda hivi? Badala ya kufikiria ni nini natakiwa nijifunze katika hili lililo nikuta?? ………. Wiki iliyopita kuna rafiki yangu wa muda mrefu sana. Tunaheshimiana sana na huwa I considered him as a “brother figure” to me, baada ya jitihada nyingi za kunitafuta alifanikiwa kunipata wiki iliyopita na tukaongea kwa simu. Moja ya swali alioniuliza ni mbona nime keep a distance from him! Nikamwambia nimesikia mara nyingi kutoka kwa wahenga kuwa ukitaka kuwa imara basi jifunze kusimama mwenyewe!! Nikamwambia nahitaji kuwa imara ili niweze kusonga mbele na kufikia kile ninacho kiamini kuwa ni ndoto zangu! Akanishangaa!!…… Anyway, ninachotaka kusema ni kwamba; katika safari hii ya kutaka kufanikisha ndoto zangu nimekutana na vikwazo vingi sana toka kwa ndugu wa karibu pamoja na wale niliyo amini kuwa ni marafiki zangu! Nime kuwa betrayed multiple times na watu ambao hata sikuweza wafikiria kuwa wangeweza fanya hivyo! Katika safari hii ya kutaka kutimiza ndoto zangu nimepoteza marafiki wengi sana!! Nimetumia muda mwingi sana tena sana KULIA NA KUJITIA! Kutwa nilikuwa najiuliza kwanini? And why me?! Lakini namshukuru sana Mungu kwani katika kulia huko na hali ya kukata tamaa akanipatia nguvu za kusonga mbele. Katika hali hiyo hiyo ya kulia na kuhuzunika I found my own strength!!! Kitu ambacho hapo mwanzo sikudhania kuwa ninacho! Nilikuwa nategemea sana tena sana emotional support ya familia, ndugu, na marafiki kama my strength!! Bila kujua kuwa hata familia yako wakati mwingine inaweza isisimame nawe vitani!!! Bila kuwaza kuwa hata ndugu zako wanaweza kuwa maadui zako!! Bila kufahamu yakuwa watu wengi tumezungwa na maadui wengi waliopo karibu yetu chini ya mwanvuli ujulikanao kama “close friends”!!……….. Katika changamoto hizi ambazo nimepitia I found myself!! Nimejifunza kuwa ni kweli you don’t need a crowd of people to be happy!! “In this journey called life, it’s possible to lose everything. Through that loss it’s also possible to find yourself”!!…….. Vipi wewe mwenzangu, have you found yourself au bado unaangaika na the feeling yakutaka kuwa accepted na watu ambao wana ku- betray na kukuzibia mibaraka yako ambayo Mungu anataka kukubariki nayo?!! Tafakari!!
Happy birthday Francisca and Faith!
Nimependa huo ?ujumbe toka kwa Foster kwenda kwa ndugu zake katika siku yao muhimu! Kilicho nivutia zaidi kwenye ujumbe huo ni namna ya uhusiano wao jinsi ulivyo kama ndugu!………. Unajua kuishi nje ya Tanzania kume minifumbua macho kwenye mambo mengi sana haswa katika maswala ya familia na undugu! Nyumbani Tanzania watu wengi wanaishi maisha ya “kinafiki” sana pale inapokuja swala la kuwa mkweli na hisia zako haswa kwa watu wako wakaribu! Yani kumwambia au kusema ukweli kwa watu wako mara nyingi inachukuliwa kuwa ni “chuki”!! Wakati wenzetu wanaamini kuwa if you truly love and care for someone lazima utataka ajue ukweli!! And family is not family if one can not be honest to his / her feelings without the fear of rejection!!……… Nimependa alivyosema wamezinguana sana lakini usije jaribu kumchokoza mmoja wao ?? ………..Anyway, hakuna familia iliyo kamilika hapa dunia kila moja inamapungufu yake! Na kugombana kwa wanafamilia sio mwisho wa undugu au kuondokewa kwa upendo miongoni mwao!! Kumbuka damu ni nzito kuliko maji…………….!!
Happy birthday Francisca Wandiba na Faith Kalanje. Mungu awape uhai mrefu na afya njema!!
Neema ndani ya Tanzania! Je tupo salama?!!
Haya, Mungu hamtupi mja wake! Na mwenye nacho atazidi ongezewa! Baraka ndani ya baraka katika nchi yenye madini ya pekee duniani (Tanzanite) kote! Hivi karibuni tuliongezewa mibaraka mingine ya ⛽ ⛽ (gas), Mungu akaona hapa nyie wana wangu nawapenda sana mmekuwa wavumilivu miaka mingi mno! Sasa ni zamu yenu; pokea mbaraka mwingine wa mafuta (oil) mjifute kabisa katika nchi masikini duniani………!! Je hii mibaraka viongozi wetu wapo teyari kuipokea kwa unyenyekevu kutoka kwa Mungu na uzalendo mkuu kwa nchi yao?!! Je tupo salama?? Amani yetu ambayo ni nguzo kuu na msingi wa nchi yetu itabaki imara au tuanze kujaza fomu za ukimbizi?!! Mimi sijui bado natafakari!!…………. Embu soma habari hii kisha soma baadhi ya maoni ya watu hapo chini……. ? 
MUNGU IBARIKI AFRICA. MUNGU IBARIKI TANZANIA………….!!

“USHABIKI WA VYAMA VYA SIASA NI TOFAUTI NA USHABIKI WA VILABU VYA MICHEZO.” – Peter Sarungi
Na Peter Sarungi (Next Speaker)
Nakumbuka tangu nilipoanza kufuatilia mchezo wa mpira wa miguu nikiwa darasa la kwanza katika shule ya walemavu (Salvation Army) sijawahi kuhama Yanga pale nilijikuta nafurahia timu ya Yanga chini ya wacheza nyota kipindi hicho kama lunyamila, chambua, mohamed machinga na wengine wengi. Desturi ya ushabiki wa vilabu vya michezo katka historia ya soka inaonesha kuwepo kwa uvumulivu wa hali ya juu kutoka kwa mashabiki wa vilabu hasa pale wanapo boronga au hata kushuka daraja (mfano kwa sasa Arsenal na Liverpool). Mashabiki hushangilia timu husika iwe kwa shida ama kwa raha yaani wafungwe ama washinde bado ataendelea kuwa mshabiki wa timu husika. Hivyo ushabiki wa vilabu una lengo moja la kupata burudani pale timu inaposhinda.
Kwenye siasa hali iko tofauti kabisa. Siasa inagusa maisha ya kila siku ya mwananchi katika nchi. Siasa inawagusa watoto, vijana, wazee, wakulima, wavuvi, wachimba migodi, wafanyakazi, wafanyabiashara, walimu, masikini, matajiri, wanasiasa na makundi yote katika jamii. Kila mwananchi na kila jamii inaguswa na maamuzi ya kisiasa katika nchi kwa namna fulani yaani kila unachokifanya kinawezekana kwa sababu ya mazingira ya kisiasa. Lengo la siasa sio kupata burudani kama ilivyo kwa timu za michezo bali ni kuboresha maisha ya kila siku ya mwananchi.
Kwa utafiti wangu nimegundua watanzania wengi wanafananisha ushabiki wa vilabu nya michezo na ushabiki wa vyama vya siasa. Hali hii ni hatari sana kwa ustawi wa siasa na demokrasia katika nchi. Mara nyingi unamkuta mtu ana kuwa mfuasi wa chama cha siasa mpaka anapata upofu wa fikra yaani hata kama chama chake kinaboronga katika kuboresha maisha yake bado atakuwa mkaidi na mwenye kutetea chama. Hii hali imefanya watu wasomi na wenye heshima zao kuweka usomi wao mfukoni ili kutetea maslahi ya chama, hata haki ya kuhamia chama fulani inakuwa ni fedhea kwa mtu mpaka anaitwa majina mengi kama msaliti, mroho, malaya wa siasa. Yaani unapohama ni shida na unapohamia napo shida ipo, huu ni ushabiki wa Vilabu vya mpira, sio wa vyama vya siasa. Aina hii ya ushabiki wa vilabu katika siasa ndio sababu ya kuwepo kwa uadui kwa mashabiki na unagawa taifa kwa majina ya kejeli kama vile ndugu yangu Magoiga SN anavyowaita upande wa pili NYUMBU na Ben sanane anvyowaita upande wa pili FISIEMU. Ushabiki huu ndio sababu ya kupata baadhi ya wabunge ambao hawana sifa, uwezo wala weledi ya kuwa viongozi lakini wanachaguliwa kwa sababu ya ushabiki huu wa ovyo kabisa.
#Mytake. Unapokuwa mfuasi wa chama fulani ni vizuri ukaangalia maslahi yako na ya wapendwa wako kama yanapatikana kabla ya kutetea maslahi ya chama lakini vilevile tusishangae tunapo mwona mwanasiasa anahama kutoka chama kimoja na kwenda kingine jua anatafuta falsafa inayomfaa. Tusitukanane wala kuitana majina ya ajabu kwa kwenda upande fulani.
Asanteni sana

Watu walio starabika utawajua tu kwa matendo yao! Yana ng’aa hata gizani!! Mnyonge mnyongeni haki yake mpeni!! Kwakweli mzee Lowassa na mke wake ni watu wastarabu sanaaaaaa! Hawa ni watu ambao hawajazoea “drama” hata kidogo! Ni watu wa kujishusha. Haya mambo mengine ni watu tu wanataka kuwalazimisha lakini sio asili yao! Unajua kuna watu ni wastarabu wa mavazi tu! Yani ukiwaona utafikiri tabia na roho zao zinaendana na mavazi yao ya kitanashati!! Kumbe ovyo kabisa!! ……….anyway I love this picture a lot! Siasa sio uwadui na wala sio chuki zisizokuwa na kichwa wala mguu!! Tunataka democracy ndani ya Tanzania lakini hatuwezi kuvunja nguzo yetu kuu (amani) halafu mkafikiri tutakua salama baada ya hapo!! Nope! Pindi tutakapo jaribu vunja amani ya nchi yetu basi tuhesabu maumivu! Haitokaa irudi tena! Niambie nchi gani ambayo imechezea amani ya nchi yao nawakaweza irudisha???!! Amani! Amani! Amani! Ndiyo nguzo na msingi wa Tanzania!!

“Tulaani kila mtu atamkae mwita albino Zeruzeru”- TAS Temeke
Katika pita pita yangu huko Facebook nikakutana na huo ?ujumbe/ angalizo!……… Nimuhimu sana watu kujifunza kuwa kila kiumbe chenye uhai kina hisia na kinafaa kuheshimiwa!! Katika jamii yoyote ile iliyo staarabika, wenye watu wenye kujitambua na yenye busara huwezi kuta hata siku moja wakiita binadamu kulinganga na ulemavu wao, rangi zao, au mapungufu yoyote yale walionayo! Hata Adam na Hawa baada ya kukaidi amri ya Mwemyezi Mungu hakuwaita majina tofauti na yale walio nayo! Sasa sisi kwanini tunapenda ku label watu? Tena watu wengi sana in Bongoland wanfikiria its OK to label people as the society has “legalized” it!!! ………………..
Hili angalizo linanikumbusha my childhood life!……… Nilipokuwa mdogo nilipata matatizo ya meno ikabidi nitolewe meno yote ya juu na baadhi ya chini. Kwabahati mbaya meno yangu yalichelewa kuota mpaka nakaribia darasa la pili (Std 2). Sasa basi yani harassment that I used to get at home was huge compared to what other students teased me at school!! Yani nilikuwa hata nashindwa kuongea na ndugu zangu saa zote nikitaka kufungua mdomo niseme kitu utasikia mtu ananicheka na kuniita “mapengo”!! Yani hata saa nyingine mtu badala ya kukuita jina lako utasikia anakuita “wee mapengo”!! Halafu kana kwamba hiyo ilikuwa haitoshi nikawa nafananishwa na bibi yetu fulani (sasa hivi ni marehemu) huko kijijini Utegi ambaye alikuwa na matatizo ya meno hivyo meno yake yote yaling’oka (hakuwa na meno). Napia alisadikika kuwa na sura mbaya!!! Hivyo badala ya kuniita jina langu wakawa wananiita jina la huyo bibi pale walipo ona nimekosea kitu au wakitaka kuniudhi or just to make funny of me kwani walikuwa wakisema I look exactly like her!!! Trust me, hivi vitu vinauma sana tena sana especially when you are just trying to enjoy your childhood like other children and all you can think is someone watching my mouth? So am I really ugly as they say it?!!………
Honestly these type of abuses need to end!! It’s not cool, not funny, it is wrong in all levels!! It kills people’s self esteem!! ……….. kitu ambacho sijakielewa kwanini TAS waone nisawa kuitwa “albino” ? Lakini si “zeruzeru”? Kwani kiswahili cha “albino” ni nini au mie ndo sielewi?!……………. Anyway, regardless, we have to respect and honor their wishes!! The name is offensive to them then people need to stop using it whether unaelewa kwa nini au la! Jukumu lako nikuacha kulitumia na si kujua kwanini!! Na ujifunze kuwa na UTU wa kuwaita watu kwa majina yao halisi na sio kutokana na ulemavu wao!!
EALA has passed a motion to make Swahili an official language to the EA Community!: by Hon. Shy-Rose Bhanji
EALA in Arusha: it gives me great pleasure to inform you that EALA has passed a motion to make Kiswahili an official language of the East African Community.
This motion was undertaken thru the collaboration of 3 EALA MPs: Hon. Aboubakar Zein from Kenya, Hon. Shy-Rose Bhanji and Hon. Abdullah Mwinyi from Tanzania. It has been my long outstanding desire, dream and ambition to promote Kiswahili as one of the official languages of the EAC. For its polularity among East Africans and extensive impact in various fields of daily life, Kiswahili is core and integral to the EAC integration and a big asset to make it people centred and market driven integration. I feel more than happy to have been part of this important Team to canvas and lobby for the promotion of this historical motion. Special thanks go to the Speaker of Eala Rt Hon. Dan Kidega for his his approval and the leadership on this noble agenda which we owe to the people….This motion won the hearts and minds of Eala members overwhelmgly. We owe them a lot of gratitude and appreciation.
It is our strong conviction that the Heads of State of EAC will endorse this motion to enable the amendment of the EAC Treaty which has only English as the official language. #EAC #OnePeopleOneDestiny #UmojaWetuNiNguzoYetu
Hongereni wabunge wa Africa Mashariki kwa uwamuzi huu! Ni jambo la kujivunia sana. Natumaini wengi wetu sasa tutahamasika kujifunza Kiswahili fasaha kwa faida ya jumuiya yetu na hatimae kiwe ndio lugha kuu ya bara la Africa!

Heavenly Father, thank you for being so amazing, for always being there for me. Lord you know how I feel and how much I wish to finally encounter the right one. I know I have to be patient because it’s all in your timing but dating is ruthless. I get approached by all the wrong ones, yet the one I desire is non-existent. Is this person out there? Have you really set someone apart just for me? It’s breathtaking to know I’m that special to You. My Father give me strength to ward off the ones who don’t deserve me, discernment to embrace the one that does. My Jesus guard my heart against the plans of the enemy and of the pawns he uses to make me fall. Give me your wisdom to see beyond the enemy’s seduction and to know when the sweet words are empty promises. Each day I’m growing stronger in you, slowly maturing and understanding my place in this world. Protect me from setting my eyes on someone who will destroy that. Amen.
