Mnamo mwaka 1912, mvumbuzi na fundi nguo Franz Reichelt alipoteza maisha baada ya kuruka kutoka Mnara wa Eiffel nchini Ufaransa akijaribu kuvumbua vazi la parachuti aliloamini lingeweza kumnusuru mtu anayeanguka kutoka juu. Jaribio hilo lilifanyika mbele ya mashuhuda na kurekodiwa kwa kamera, lakini kifaa hicho hakikufunguka kama alivyotarajia na kusababisha kifo chake papo hapo.
Zaidi ya karne moja baadaye, tukio hilo linaendelea kuzua mijadala kuhusu mipaka ya ubunifu, ujasiri na hatari katika sayansi na teknolojia. Wapo wanaomwona Reichelt kama mtu aliyekuwa mbele ya wakati wake na aliyetoa mchango kwa maendeleo ya usalama wa anga, huku wengine wakiamini alichukua hatari kubwa isiyo ya lazima. Wewe una maoni gani—je, alikuwa shujaa...

On JF:
Deputy President Kithure Kindiki did not make these remarks. The quote originates from a viral graphic that has been intentionally manufactured to look like an official news alert from a page called Kenya News Flash.
Katika mitandao ya kijamii kumekuwa na picha ikisambaa ikumuonyesha mchezaji wa mpira Chiristian Ronaldo akiwa amefunga ndoa ,je picha hiyo ni ya kweli?
Wakuu,
Kumekuwa na nadharia nyingi huku mtaani kuhusu ulevi bila kuonja kileo, sasa ndo wengine tunajiuliza inawezekanaje mtu akalewa bila kunywa pombe?
Katika pitapita zangu za mtandaoni nimekutana na madai yakisema kuwa mbegu za mwanaume zinamnenepesha mwanamke sehemu zake za mwili je ni kweli?
Katika siku za hivi karibuni, kumekuwa na machapisho mbalimbali yanayosambazwa kwenye mitandao ya kijamii yakiwa na jumbe zinazodaiwa kutolewa na baadhi ya viongozi, hususan wa nchi za Afrika Mashariki na Afrika ya Kati.
Mojawapo ya machapisho hayo linadai kuwa aliyekuwa Rais wa Kenya, Uhuru Kenyatta, alisema:"If you want to stop youths from alcohol or playing Aviator, just tell them that it's owned by William Ruto."
Chapisho lingine linadai kuwa Rais wa Jamhuri ya Muungano wa Tanzania, Samia Suluhu Hassan, alisema:
"Mimi naomba Rais ndugu yangu William Ruto anipe mamlaka niongoze Kenya kwa wiki mbili tu, nimalize huo mchakato wa hao viumbe wa ajabu wanaojiita Gen Z. Ninyooshe nchi ya Kenya."
moja ya machapisho yamechapishwa hapa
Je...
Kumekuwepo na video inayosambazwa kwenye mitandao ya kijamii ikidaiwa kuwa inaonesha baadhi ya wanachama wa CHADEMA wakiandamana kupinga uwepo wa Makamu Mwenyekiti wa chama hicho, John Heche.
Video hiyo imeambatana na ujumbe unaosema:"CHADEMA wamefanya maandamano makubwa wakitaka Makamu Mwenyekiti wao, John Heche, ajiuzulu kutokana na tuhuma za wizi wa fedha za chama."
Je ni upi uhalisia wa video hiyo?

Inadaiwa kuwa Kalonzo Musyoka amefanya kikao cha siri leo na Rais William Ruto mjini Narok, ambapo walifikia makubaliano ya kushirikiana kabla ya uchaguzi. Haya yanajiri huku kukiwa na uvumi kwamba upinzani unampendelea Edwin Sifuna kuwa mgombea wao wa urais, akisaidiwa na mgombea mwenza kutoka Mlima Kenya, ambaye inadaiwa ni Kiharu MP Ndindi Nyoro.
Kwa mujibu wa madai hayo, Kalonzo hayuko tayari kuwa mgombea mwenza na badala yake anapendelea kumuunga mkono Ruto, ambaye inadaiwa tayari alimuahidi kumuunga mkono mwaka 2032. Kabla ya hapo, baada ya uchaguzi wa 2027, Kalonzo anadaiwa kuahidiwa nafasi ya kupendekeza Mawaziri (CSs) watano na Makatibu Wakuu (PSs) 13.
Madai hayo pia yanasema kuwa Kalonzo ameagizwa kuendelea kujionyesha kama...
