Oooooooh....basi hata sikujua kuwa unashindana nami. Nlijua twapeana Ilimu/darsa kumbe sheikh wangu ulikuwa unashindana? Hapana kwa sasa napumzika na nina mambo ya maana ya kufanya kuliko kushindania bure.
Endelea kuandika utashinda zaidi naona wote mwapambania tuzo we na mwenizo Yericko naye akusanya tuzo...hongereni sheikh wangu.
Minjingu...
Mimi nishindane na wewe na Yericko Nyerere naanzia wapi?
Mimi nishindane na wewe na Yericko Nyerre tunashindania nini?
Bahati mbaya hata sheria za uandishi huzijui sasa naanza wapi kushindana na wewe?
Mimi ni wa kukufunza wewe kama mwanafunzi si mshindani wangu.
''Ooooooooh....''
Hizo sifuri za nini?
Katika uandishi dots zinakuwa tatu tu...
Jifunze kwanza kuandika.
''Mwenizo.''
Nini hiki?
Hatuandiki kwa ''bold'' yaani ''heavy ink'' pasi na sababu.
Baada ya hayo hapo juu sasa tufahamiane:
