Kati ya watu waongo waongo, wewe mtoa mada umetia fora!
Jidu...
Mwalimu wangu aliyenisomaesha adab katika mijadala Sheikh Haruna alikuwa akinisisitizia jambo moja nalo ni kuwa njia nyepesi ya kujivua heshima mbele ya watu ni kukosa adabu.
Nakuomba na wewe ufaidike katika somo hili la Sheikh Haruna.
Mimi si muongo sina sababu ya kuandika uongo katika historia ya wazee na jamii yangu katika kupigania uhuru wa Tanganyika na katika kumpokea Julius Nyerere alipofika kwetu mwaka wa 1952.
Ni bahati mbaya sana yeye mwenyewe Mwalimu hakupata kueleza hisani iliyokuwapo baina yake na watu wa Dar es Salaam na wazee wetu walibakia kimya khasa baada ya changamoto kutokea pale uhuru ulipopatikana mwaka wa 1961.
Changamoto zilizotokea baada ya uhuru inataka mada ya kujitegemea kwani kuna mafunzo makubwa ndani yake kuhusu utawala.
Kwa kuhitimisha mimi ndiye huyo hapo chini ambae umejaribu kumfedhehesha kwa kumwita muongo:
