[LiverpoolFC]

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.

Umenena Mkuu! Apimzike kwa Amani!

critical minds huwa hazitakiwi Tanzania kwa kuwa ni challenge kwa watawala.

Tatizo wasomi wengi hawajui kuwa kiwango cha usomi na uelewa kwa watanzania wengi ni kidogo critical minds hufanya vizuri nchi zile ambazo kiwango cha usomi na uelewa ni kikubwa.

Tanzania inataka educative mind sio critical mind.Inabidi uwachukue viongozi na wananchi uwaelimishe taratibu uendane na uelewa wao hadi wakuelewe.Ni slow leaners na slow to understand inatikiwa uendane nao.Sasa wasomi wengi hasa waliosoma nje wakija Tanzania wanakuja na speed za critical mind zao walizokariri huko wanashangaa wakifika Tanzania wanakimbizwa mkuku kurudishwa walikotoka.Tatizo si watawala wala wananchi wa Tanzania.Tatizo ni hao wasomi wenyewe.Inabidi wajue mazingira ya kutumia hicho walichosoma pia yakoje na Watumie mbinu ipi ili hicho Walichosoma au ambacho watawala hawakusoma au hawakijui wakijue na kukikubali bila kutumia mbinu babe za critism na insults.

Wengi wenye critical mind hawajui kuchukuliana na watawala wala wananchi wasiosoma wanajidai dai tu na hicho wajuacho.

I am deeply saddened by the death of Prof. Ali Mazrui . Prof. Mazrui was a towering academician whose intellectual contributions played a major role in shaping African scholarship. He was one of the greatest scholars Kenya and the continent have ever produced. His brilliance raised him to the apex of scholarly distinction and earned him respect and following among his peers globally. His literary works, debates and relentless cultivation of a global view of Africa have helped to tell the continent's story. Prof. Mazrui's legacy and commitment to intellectual advancement will always remain etched in Kenyans' minds, and his name will be remembered alongside other Kenyan and African intellectual icons who contributed immensely in the academic sphere. My thoughts and prayers are with his Family and Friends at this time of great sorrow and grief. I pray that God grants you the strength and courage to bear the tragic loss.

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.
Inna lilahi wa ina ilahi rajiun.

Triple heritage ndi lilikuwa jina la documentary hiyo na nakukmbuka kuna kipande kuhusu mashamba ya ngano ya Basuto na mikate ya SIHA.
