Rest in Peace Prof. Nimetumia sana maandiko yako katika elimu yangu. Nilijiuliza ni kwa nini watu wenye akili namna hii wanazitumia nchi nyingine na si Tanzania. Nikagundua critical minds huwa hazitakiwi Tanzania kwa kuwa ni challenge kwa watawala.

Profesa huyu keshawahi kusema kama muungano wa Tanganyika na Zanzibar si muungano bali ni Zanzibar kumezwa na Tanganyika.

Na ni huyu huyu alisema pia kama huu muungano kama ni mzuri mbona hakuna hata nchi moja nyengine iliyotamani kujiunga.

Allah amlaze pema, Amin.

Ndio juzi tu nillikua namdiscuss na mzee. Miaka ya 88/89 alikua na documentary nzuri sana imenitoka jina. Ila ilikua inahusu Africa ilivyo dumazwa kimaendeleo sababu ya adopting foreign cultures ambazo zimeleta confusion tu.
He lived a full life.

[Niambieni]

Poleni wafiwa, duniani sisi sote ni wapita njia ingawa tunako elekea ni chaguo lako wakati ukiwa hai. Wengine wanaenda kwa Mungu na wengio kwa mungu. Angaliwa wekundu wa herufi kubwa na ndogo na ujipime unakochagua kwenda.

Huu ni ujumbe kwa tulio hai hapa duniani.
