Mengi sana, kwa mfano, kuna majina ya watu wengi tu humo nilikuwa siyajui; pia sikuwa najua kuhusu 'majungu' dhidi ya 'wasauzi' wa dar ila hilo limeniletea swali la (8), niko mbali na kitabu hivyo nitaliuliza baadaye maana nataka kuweka nukuu.
Udadisi,
Majuingu hayakuwa kwa Wazulu peke yao.
Majungu yalikuwa kwa wote ''wakuja.''
Wazulu, Wamanyema na Wanubi.
Wazulu akina Kleist Sykes, Thomas Plantan na ndugu zake.
Wamanyema akina Mzee bin Sudi, Salum Abdallah, Sheikh Hussein Juma.
Wanubi akina Ibrahim Hamisi.
Waliokuwa wakiwachimba ni Warufiji, Wazaramo, Wangindo nk.
Mdadisi unataka mie ndiye nimjibie Fiah vipi yeye alijiona mzalendo kushinda wahamiaji wenzake. Sitoweza. Mie sijui kila kitu.

Hivyo, ni ukurasa unaoratibiwa. Nitakuwa naweka maswali yanayohitaji ufafanuzi/uthibitisho. Tuanze na hayo hapo chini.

Udadisi,Na huu hapo chini ni uthibitisho wa jinsi navyouheshimu mchango wa Mohamed Said, sasa nakisoma tena hicho kitabu na kila napokutana na hivyo vitu ambavyo vinanitatiza naviuliza hapa, na sio lazima ajibu yeye tu, wengine mnaojua jibuni pia.
"With slight modification the same argument can be extended to Mohamed Saids (1998) Abdulwahid Sykes (924-968): The Untold Story of the Muslim Struggle against British Colonialism in Tanganyika. Nyerere and Sykes were both elites as far as their social status in the colonial context and political position in the struggle for independence were concerned, however, one became marginalized in the nationalist historiography presumably because he belonged to a religious group that was ostensibly being forced into becoming a subaltern category" - http://udadisi.blogspot.com/2013/10/nationalist-historiography-of.html

Udadisi,
Nimesoma hiyo blogspot yako, naona wewe mwenywewe umejitambulisha tu kama Chambi, hakuna picha wala profile yako. Makala zako ziko anonymous and yet unafyonza kwenye intelectual peoperties za watu na kufanya tahakiki.
Sasa ndugu yangu ona hapo wewe kama ni mwandishi au researcher huoni kuna kasoro hapo. Mimi hapo nina mashaka nawe na hiyo unayoifanya sidhani kama it is with good intention.
Mdadisi,
Kuhusu dereva wa Abdulwahid Sykes Burma.
Huyu wakati naandiika alikuwa hai na cheo kikubwa katika JWT nikaona uzito
kuweka jina lake.
Hata leo sioni umuhimu wa kulitaja jina hilo ingawa amefariki.
Ila nitakupa ''hint'.'
Huyu mtu anatoka Musoma.

Mdadisi,
Dk. Kwegyir Aggrey ndiyo aliyemshauri Kleist Sykes aanzishe African Association
alipokuja Tanganyika mwaka 1924.
Sijajua unataka kufahamu nini zaidi hapa.
Habari hizi zipo kwenye mswada wa Kleist na ukitaka taarifa zaidi iko semina paper
ya Daisy Sykes, ''The Life of Kleist Sykes,'' East Africana, Maktaba ya Chuo Kikuu
Cha Dar es Salaam.
Mzee Makisi Mbwana alikuwa kiongozi wa Uzaramo Union ni mmoja wa wazee mashuhuri
wa Dar es Salaam katika wakati wake.
