Naomba umuhoji na Mohamed Said ameandika kitabu kizuri sana cha harakati za uhuru. anafanya kazi bandari Tanga.


chinga,
nimepata contacts zake na nimeongea na mwanahistoria Mohamed Said na nitakuwa nae hewani siku ya Jumapili.Nimekipata kitabu chake cha "The Life and Times of Abdulwahid Sykes (1924–1968): The untold story. of the Muslim struggle against British colonialism in Tanganyika" na nashauri wadau wote mkisome.Kinafungua macho sana.
 
Gigo, Wacha na Jasusi,

hapa ndipo naposhindwa kuelewa kabisa hawa wasomi wa nchi zetu. Ikiwa sisi humu tunaweza kuona kuwa misaada haiwezi kutukomboa lakini hawa viongozi wameshindwa ama wameghairi kabisa kuona hilo zaidi ya kusema hatuna njia nyingineyo!...Ukiuliza wanasema sisi maskini hatuna mtaji!..

Je, sii kweli usemi unaosema Elimu ni bora kuliko fedha?... Inakuwaje leo Mtajio umetangulia kabisa Elimu zao.

Ni kweli hawa wazungu wajanja sana kuliko sisi, lakini mimi naamini ujanja wa mtu yeyote huonekana pale unapomruhusu.

Mfano, Unapomkopa mtu fedha ukielewa kuwa hawezi kurudisha sidhani kama mtu huyo ni mjanja ila wewe ndiye umeruhusu kitendo cha ujanja wake kifanikiwe...

Ebu tazameni hili swala la Umeme! hivi kweli kuna kiongozi yeyote nchi za wenzetu wanaweza kuweka mkataba wa dharura kupata umemem lakini ahadi yake iwe miezi tisa sijui maanake hawa Richomnd wamepewa hadi April 2007! Yaani Tanzania hatuna uhakika wa Umeme wa dharura hadi April 2007.

Comeon guys, Sasa huko nje tunapoitangaza nchi yetu kweli tunaweza kuwaambia wawekeshaji kuwa hatuna Umeme lakini by April next year tutakuwa na umeme wa temporary! kisha labda mbaada ya miaka mitatu tatizo la Umeme litakwisha!...

Huyu mwekeshaji hajagusia kuuliza kuhusu maji, mabarabara na kadhalika.

Yote hii bado ni utumwa fulani wa kifikra hizo elimu zetu bado ni Elimu zilizotengenezwa na hawa jamaa kwa hiyo wametuzidi karata vibaya vibaya. Nchi zote za kiafrika zinababaika kuwa na wazungu!...

Siku tutakapoweza kuondokana na Utumwa wa kimawazo na kujiona huru kama walivyo wenzetu LABDA ndio mwanzo mpya.

Radio Bitiama nakuomba pia tafuta nakala za MAJIMAJI!....

nafikiri ni wakati mzuri wa kupata historia kamili ya tukio hilo, Kingunge anaweza kuwa mtu wa kumuuliza ili tupate kutunza na kuzitukuza historia zetu.
 
Mkandara,
Ukisoma kitabu cha Dr. Malima Bundara cha Waafrika NdivyoWalivyo anasema wazungu wanatufanya sie waafrika kama mbwa wa kufugwa.Kwa mantiki hiyo basi waafrika tunaona kuwa wazungu wana wajibu wa kutulisha.Wazungu nao wanataka sie tuendelee kufikiria hivyo hivyo ili waendelee kutufuga.

Nilisikitishwa sana wakati ule wa uchaguzi wa wa kugombea kiti cha urais kupitia CCM ambapo mmoja wa wagombea wao Balozi Amani Karume alisema wazi kuwa eti wamchague yeye kwa vile amekaa nje na ataweza kutuletea misaada.Au hata majuzi tuliona Waziri Mkuu Edward Lowassa anatetea safari za nje za JK nakusema zinaleta misaada.

Dr Malima anajiuliz akwenye kitabu chake kuwa Africa tunaongoza kwa kupewa misaada duniani lakini mbon ahatuendelei? Akaendelea na kuuliza hivi mbona hakuna nchi za Africa zinazozikopesha nchi nyingi?

Nashukuru kwa ku-recommend nakala ya majimaji.Kuna kitabu chochote au ni article tu?

Thanks.
 
Mkandara,
Rafiki yangu mmoja aliwahi kufanya kazi pale Ikulu enzi za Mpaka. Aliniambia kuwa katika kabinet meeting kila waziri alikuwa anawazia jinsi ya kutafuta fedha za wafadhili. Hakuna hata waziri mmoja alikuja na pendekezo la nini tufanye sisi kuwasaidia wananchi. Akaongeza kuwa katika kila mradi unaogharimiwa nje waziri anapata 10% Hapo ndipo unapopata jibu kwa swali lako.
 
Radio Butiama,
Unajua ni afadhali hawa wazungu watufanye mbwa kwa tafsiri yao! maanake mbwa anapendwa na wazungu kuliko binadamu. Na kwa tafsiri yetu mbwa ni mnyama asiyekuwa na hadhi kabisa. Hapa ndipo napokorofishana na wasomi wengi kwa sababu huwa wanashindwa kuhusisha mazingira yetu ktk kila elimu yao. Wasomi (viongozi) wanaposikia sisi kuwa mbwa wao tayari wanafikiria yule mbwa kwa tafsiri ya kizungu.

Ndio wanazidi kujipendekeza na kuona kuwa ni haki yetu tulishwe kwa sababu ni wao walioamua kutufuga...(Eti haki za kibinadamu).

Mzungu mwenyewe hatuoni sisi kama mbwa wao bali chini ya mbwa na kibaya ni kwamba hatujashituka na wao wanashindwa kutuambia ukweli....

Nashukuru sana Dr. Bundara katupa kwa lugha yetu wenyewe sasa kuyameza itakuwa kazi sana.

Ndio maana zamani kule Bsctime niliwahi kusema kuwa sisi mbele ya wazungu ni manyani tu likawa zogo kubwa sana. Lakini tazama bob, hata yule msomi anayevaa suti na kusema sana hujifananisha na mzungu (akili ya utumwa) utadhani wale manyani wa kwenye sarakasi...

Dr. Bundara mkali sana isipokuwa hili la utumwa mshikaji lazima alipitie upya!...Sisi wote bado kabisa hatujaondokana na athari za utumwa kwa sababu utumwa sii lazima uwe wa kutumia nguvu za mwili bali utumwa wa akili ni maradhi ambayo wengi wetu huyazungumzia kuwa wazungu walituachiwa. Kumbuka mnyama aliyefugwa na kulishwa siku zote huwa taabu sana kwake kuanza upya kujitafutia maisha ktk mazingira yake. Na sababu kubwa ni kuwa mnyama huyo ameachiwa maradhi ya utumwa wa akili. haoni mbele wa nyuma zaidi ya master wake, na ndio tulivyo sisi waafrika.

Kuhusu Majimaji, nimepitia baadhi ya nakala ambazo sina hakika zina ukweli kiasi gani. Na ndio maana nimekuomba uzifanyie kazi kwani tunaweza kuzijadili vizuri.

Jasusi,
Ebu nambie mshikaji kweli tutafika kwa mtaji huo?....Hii yote imetokana na serikali kuruhusu VBiongozi wetu kuwa wafanya biashara. CCM wametufunga goli kali sana ktk hiyo transition ya Kiuchumi. Maanake wamejifungulia wao nafasi ya kuweza kuiba vizuri wakitumia hizo sheria za kuwaruhusu kuwa wafanya biashara... na ndio maana hiyo misaada inayokuja huwa inaambatana na ma -deal ya kuwekeza yenye 10%.
 
Soma kitabu cha Cheikhh anta diop, upate definitive 'proof' kwamba Waafrika ndioa waanzilishi wa ustaarabu hasa:

1}Kundika-wamisri walianza kuandika kabla ya wasumeria.
2)Dini za mungu mmoja,wayahudi waligeza baadhi ya ideas za wamisri ambao under all tests ustaarabu wao ulikuwa wa kiafrika (negro)-miungu kama osiris nk
3) Herodotius 'father of history' alikiri kwamba misri ni nchi ya waafrika na mawazo mengi ya wagiriki yalitoka misri.

na mengine kadhaa..hizi ni facts ambazo ingawa western scholars walikuwa wanazificha sasa archeology inafichua wazi...

Soma kitabu cha 'Cheikh Anta Diop',kinachoitwa 'The African Origin of Civilization' na vingine uone jinsi historia ya Afrika ilivyokuwa falsified by western so called scholars.
 
Post hii nimeitoa kwenye forum ya wazimbabwe. Alichoongea mtoa mada kilinigusa sana kwa vile madai yake yanaelekea kuwa sahihi hata hapa Tanzania

AFRICANS DONT UNDERSTAND ECONOMICS!!

Africans and their leaders cannot run an economy without the help of a white man, africans are only good with nature( traditonal medicine, rearing cattle, witchcraft, living in the bush).

examples;

ZIMBABWE - lots of so called highly educated black economists but country falling apart, economy a disaster.

NIGERIA - lots of oil and so called super educated intelligent individuals but more corruption, majority living in poverty, economy directionless.

DRC - lots of minerals. no economy

LOTS more african run by stupid black african leaders who don't understand economics.

should all african countries forget about this money thing and just go back to what they used to do best, coz almost all african countries have had major problems since the white man first introduced them to money and the world economy.
after all, african countries get the worst deals in world trade !.

Ukiangalia hapa kwetu mambo ni hayo hayo: Serikali ina wasomi, benki kuu inangozwa na mtu wa Ph.D. lakini tumeshindwa kabisa kutumia raslimali zetu kuendeleza uchumi wetu na maisha ya raia wetu. Tumebaki kuwa tunaomba wawekezaji wazungu hata kama tunapata bad deal, bado viongozi wetu wataitetea.

Je tatizo la msingi kabisa kwetu linatokea wapi? Nchi zote nje ya Afrika ambazo tulipata uhuru pamoja kama Singapore, Malaysia, Indosenia na nyinginezo zimeendelea sana lakini sisi bado tunafanya majaribio haopa na pale bila kupiga hatua yoyote ile; kosa letu ni nini?
 
Raj Patel would tell you...it is the low IQ levels that black Africans have....maybe he is right

Suppose we (tanzanians) switch places with the Germans or the British, do you think they will be able to harness our natural resources to achieve a better economy?
 
I don’t think if the low IQ level that black Africans have is the reason. The economy of Africa consists of the trade, industry, and resources of the peoples of Africa. Increased corruption and despotism are the main reasons for Africa's poor economy. Some people add the transition from colonialism has been shaky and uncertain, and the Cold War, but I don’t buy the last to items.

Corruption: All forms of government are susceptible to political corruption. Forms of corruption vary, but include bribery, extortion, cronyism, nepotism, patronage, graft, and embezzlement. While corruption may facilitate criminal enterprise such as drug trafficking, money laundering, and trafficking, it is not restricted to these organized crime activities. In some nations corruption is so common that it is expected when ordinary businesses or citizens interact with government officials. The end-point of political corruption is a kleptocracy, literally "rule by thieves". CCM is a classic example.

The effects are on politics, administration, institutions and economic, but we are interested in economic effects. Corruption undermines economic development by generating considerable distortions and inefficiency. In the private sector, corruption increases the cost of business through the price of illicit payments themselves, the management cost of negotiating with officials, and the risk of breached agreements or detection. Mikataba ya Madini ni mfano mmoja wapo.

Despotism: a system of government in which the ruler has unlimited power, Tanzania and Uganda, for example. These rulers are not genius, Kikwete and Lowassa are good examples, but they want to have control over everything.

These are the two main reasons why we are all messed up.
 
Educate 'em mjomba! And may I add: the very low levels of education (or rather lack of) and the relatively inferior states of Science and Technology present in African societies are a serious setback for most forms of socio economic progress.
 
What? Tatizo sio elimu au kutokujua uchumi. Tatizo ni ubinafsi na ulafi. Dr.Bilali anaweza kuongoza hata Worl Bank lakini
hawezi kongoza BOT kwasababu TZ hakuna vyombo na sheria za kumfanya asiibe.

Afrika tunasikitisha sana. Nimeona picha ya Bilali kwa kweli anasikitisha, hao ndio wasomi wetu ambao japo wanajua namba lakini wanashindw kuelewa kwamba hawahitaji hayo mabilions kwa cost ya wananchi wengine.
 
Your opinions prove we haven't been able to put our finger on what is/ are cause(s) of our current socio-economic affairs. Until we do that we will comtinue to be the least developed region of the world. What a shame!!
 
Educate 'em mjomba! And may I add: the very low levels of education (or rather lack of) and the relatively inferior states of Science and Technology present in African societies are a serious setback for most forms of socio economic progress.

This is really not true.

Many African states are led by highly educated people. Zimbabwe is led by Mugabe who has 7 degrees of his own, and his cabinet has several doctors with Ph.Ds. 90% of the Kikwetes cabinet is composed of university graduates many with Masters degrees. So the problem is not very low levels of education.

Inferior state of science and technology is a fuzzy phrase that doesn't tell the reality. Tanzania got her independence earlier than Singapore. At the time of independence, both nations had the same level of technology, but today Singaporse has developed technologically far ahead of Tanzania while Tanzania has not changed even a fraction.


Our problems have been defined clearly by TZ_DEVIL:

(a) Corruption

(b) Despotism (and Nepotism)

and I will add the following:

(c) Myopic economic policies.

(d) Lack of seriousness to rule of law.

The suggestion that low levels of education in African societies is (among many other factors) a handicap to economic progress in Africa is intended to refer to the condition as it applies to the general citizenry in African countries.

That said, a country's level of economic development is not determined by the quantity or the quality of academic qualifications possessed by her leadership. Moreover, it comes as no surprise at all that its the relatively academically distinguished in any given society who get elected to positions of power and influence i.e., high office. I mean, who else would you expect to become member of cabinet in Kikwete's government: some long serving, aging CCM diehard with nothing but madrasah education to show on their resumé but unlimited political clout stretching all the way back to the days of TAA and TANU?

As to your correct observation regarding the pre- and post independence levels of science and technology in Tanzania and Singapore, I dare say the main reason for this particular status quo is indeed none other than education! Why not do us a favor: refer back to your sources and provide us a comparative historical analysis of the amounts Tanzania and Singapore have been spending in education as percentage of GDP/GNP/GNI before and after each country's independence?
 
I understand what you mean by low levels of education in African societies and I agree with you. But who is to blame if not the leaders?

Singapore had a similar situation at the time of her Independence; however, it had leadership that understood the importance of education in economic development. They invested heavily in education. I will not provide any data as it may take my time to research, however, Singapore spends a lot in education than any of the African states. That is a reflection of what I said: African states have myopic economic policies.

Whatever the nature of problems that may contribute to poor levels of education in the majority of people in African countries, the fact is that Africa remains the most economically backward continent due to among other reasons, the inferior education of most Africans.

On the same level, African countries have to import virtually everything (from pins to tractors) from outside because of acute shortage of scientific expertise and technical know-how in their workforce necessary for production and industry.

Now yo don't need to be a rocket scientist to figure out that this would be the perfect recipe for socio economic underdevelopment.

...ukawakuta wanakunja miguu juu ya mkeka au jamvi na kupata mlo,utadai kiti na meza?

...kwanza,ukividai watakushangaa...alagh!we si umekaribishwa?

...pili,kwani hiyo meza na kiti vipo?

...tatu,swali litakuja...unataka kula au kukaa kwenye kiti?

...nne,baada ya hapo utajijua!
 
People...IQ, IQ, IQ, IQ...!!!
Impressive academic credentials and achievements mean nothing. Really...what do they mean? With all those highly, ivy league educated people (mainly scientists)that Nigeria (or Tanzania)have,what have they done? Show me anything useful (to society) that they have done that relates directly to their education....

Academic accomplishments are not enough. The most important innate ability that is missing in most if not all sub saharan african countries is INGENUITY, period. Think about it....do you think the new IPhone, for example, was made by some classroom PhD without ingenuity? Hell no!

South Africa, with it's horrendous past is the most developed sub saharan (actually for the whole of Africa)African country. Why....?

We can talk all we want...theorize all we want...blame everybody and everything...but deep down, we know what it is.
 
Tatizo sidhani kama ni elimu ya chuo kikuu. Mi naona tatizo kwa sasa ni ufahamu wa watu wetu: haki na wajibu wao. Na hapa umaskini(abject poverty) una nafasi yake. Watu wanahaha ku-survive.

Serikali pia inabeba lawama nyingi. Kwa kutoeleweka hasa dira, lengo, sera na mikakati yake miongoni mwa wananchi; na wao serikali/viongozi kuwa bize kujitafutia utajiri ndio wametoa mfano bora kabisa kwa wananchi wa kila mtu kufa kivyake(ubinafsi).

Hitimisho: wananchi hawana ufahamu; viongozi wamekosa uzalendo, na wanatoa mfano mfano mbaya.
