Uchochezi wa Mohamed Said na dhihaka kwa Wapigania Uhuru wa Tanganyika na Zanzibar

[Mohamed Said]

Baada ya kufahamu udini umemlewesha huyo mzee nilianza kupuuza naandiko yake yenye sumu ya Udini kama sumu kuvu kwenye nafaka.

std7,
Ningekuwa naandika kuhusu Uislam (Dini).

Kitabu changu cha kwanza kisingechapwa mara nne kuanzia kilipotoka mara ya kwanza 1998 kwa Kiingereza wala kisingefanyiwa tafsiri ya Kiswahili ili kiwafikie wasomaji wengi.

Wala nisingekuwa mmoja kati ya waandishi 500 kutoka kila pembe ya dunia walioandika Dictionary of African Biography (DAB).

Wala nisingealikwa vyuoni ndani na nje ya mipaka ya Tanzania kuzungumza.

Nimeandika historia ambayo haikuwako kwa miaka mingi na ilipofahamika ndiyo hamasa hii ikatokea ya watu kutaka kupata elimu mpya katika historia ya uhuru wa Tanganyika.

Mimi ni mmoja katika waliohojiwa kuhusu maisha ya Mwalimu Nyerere katika kitabu hicho hapo chini.

Maktaba yangu imeandikwa ndani ya kitabu hicho ni kati ya maktaba tatu zenye historia kubwa ya Mwalimu: Maktaba ya Dr. Salim Ahmed, Mohamed Said na Brg. General Hashim Mbita.

Ningekuwa naandika dini nisingekuwa na nafasi katika kuandika historia ya Julius Nyerere na harakati za kupigania uhuru.

Angalia picha hizo hapo chini:

[Yesu Anakuja]

mzee Mohamed Said upeo wake umeishia hapohapo, kuna vimagazeti huwa anaandika anadai ni vitabu vimejaa umbeya na uswahili wa aina hiihii na analazimisha watu waamini kwamba ni vitabu na kwamba vina maana yeyote.

Hata waziri/naibu wa elimu/wakurugenzi wote baraza la mitihani/necta/watungaji/wasahihishaji mitihani wote wangekuwa ni waislam, bado waislam mngeendelea kulalama kuna mfumo kristo. Mkristo hana sababu ya kulalamikia NECTA ukizingatia mitihani ipo pale karibu mwaka mzima baada ya kusahihishwa...kama umeonewa ni suala la kuappeal tu...

Mtu yeyote aliyepata elimu hata ndogo tu anaweza kufanya utafiti rahisi sana. Dini haina utofauti na elimu, nikiwa na maana ya kwamba kile unachofundishwa ndicho kinakufanya uwe hivyo ulivyo. Umasikini utajiri ni fikra wala si pesa.
kama umepita shule yoyote ile katika maisha yako kwa kiasi fulani utakuwa umekutana na haya makundi mawili, je pale shuleni walikuwa wana ufaulu wa kiwango gani kwa kutazama dini zao? Kulikuwa na walimu waliowaonea kundi fulani?
Nenda fanya utafiti kwa wale watu wa jamii fulani na jamii nyingine, Je mfumo wao wa maisha upoje?

Kwa hili niwe muwazi tu. Nimeenda maeneo fulani kuna watu unaona huruma lakini utawasidiaje. Unakuta hilo eneo wanaishi kwa siku hiyo nikiwa na maana kwamba akiamka asubuhi anaenda kutafuta pesa ya maandazi ya asubuhi. Mke amelala anasema mume atafute kwa kuwa mimi sina kitu hapa akiniacha. Jamii hii inamtumbukiza binti mdogo vitu kwenye sehemu zake za siri ili avunje ungo mapema ili aolewe halafu mama afanye sherehe ili watu wamchangie. (Watu kama hawa wanaonewa na nani? Aliyewaonea aliyewapa maneno na mafundisho ya kuwadidiiza bia kuelewa madhara yake kwenye jamii).

Huyu labda akasomeshe huko Msikitini huku hana nafasi kabakia kulazimisha Sykes alikuwa bora kuliko Mwl Nyerere!.

Nikimdharau aliposhabikia waarabu kuchukua Bandari zetu nikajua kumbe huyu mzee punguani.Kwake yeye Waarabu ni kila kitu.
