Az 89.tatizo kubwa la wa-tz hatuna tabia ya kujisomea na pale tunapojikakamua kusoma hata hatuelewi.......ungelijiongoza vizuri ungeligundua hotuba ya Membe imekosolewa vilivyo na hii mada na usingelithubutu kuongea kama ulivyofanya hapa.................
Friends of Bernard Membe at the University of Dar-Es-Salaam still believes they have got their man who is heading nowhere but to the state house in replacement of JK .comes 2015.
This can only narrate why the UDASSA was so eager and willing to invite Membe as their chief guest at Nkrumah Hall today marking our 51[SUP]st[/SUP] Independence anniversary! I can find no other persuasive reason to exculpate UDASSA from this political prank.
From my contextualizing of Membes forgettable speech, I gleaned an intense desire to inaugurate his presidential bid as an UDSM alumnus, a man of immense intellectual prowess, ready and willing to lead the nation from the front. But is he ready? I am keenly aware of his burning ambition to be our fifth president but is he ready and/ or will he ever be?
This pithy deposition intends to show that Bernard Membe is an overambitious politician who has no political skills to change the socio-economic course this nation has been taking to abyss, and lead us to the Promised Land.
I have jotted down ten points to dissect a man behind the mirror:-
1) A case of limited brainpower?
Generally speaking, he lacks intellectual ability; and, will this dot.com generation really find him a sure bet to their economic plight? I have my doubts you should have yours, too.
2) A n escapologist to theories?
He spent too much soliloquizing on his defaulted memory of academic theories that was too detached to the subject at hand and I keep wondering is this man really sane or suffering from Romnesia?..................It is defined as convenient amnesia
3) Too defensive of ccm long tales of lost opportunities?
Defending ccm makes sense since he is in the high table dining with who is who in this nation but Membe needs an incisive mind to plead with his audience to overlook ccm massive economic mismanagement and advance a case for an inexorable patience and an enduring faith in what is festering rot in this nation where millions are going days without their daily bread .while we know they deserve better given a multitude of resources this nation boast of!
4) Claiming too much know-how?
Speaking in broken English and sounding like a Kenyan Sheng has its place but for a truly reliable leader Membe has to choose one language which his audience will be comfortable with and Membe was echoing something like Kiswahili is okay but English is baba yao ..And his whole speech was prepared beforehand and Membe struggled to find rhythmic relevance in such an impassioned crowd whose themes were: never backward but forward ever Be proud of Kiswahili Membe, if you want to be taken serious with Kiswahili proficient voters
5) Too idealistic?
We all have theories that have stuck into our memories like leech nibbling our tender skin but do we need to remind our audience that we went to schools when schools were really schools particular in this era where community colleges are churning out semi-illiterate graduates?
It is of profound importance to mention that, Membe considers Bw. Bomobomoa Magufuli as a threat to his political ambition. Do you know why I have reached to this conclusion? Magufuli is always reminding us, he was a good student of Chemistry judging from a number of theoretical postulations he love to showboat before us ..and of recent memory, two days ago Magufuli in his an unequivocal campaign for Raila presidential bid theories of Chemistry came very handy, though I doubted he was effective given of the stature of their irrelevance ..my take Membe is only mimicking Bw. Bomoabomoa.
And nothing more .copycats rarely ascend to Ikulu and Membe ought to begin being himself ..telling us what he will do different from JK and why did he not do it while still part of JK power hegemony for ten years come 2015, will definitely help his presidential bid.
6) What about intellectual arrogance?
That intellectual smugness seems to ooze out of Membe unapologetically as if it is part of the curriculum vita he needs to bag a presidential job. It is time I wake him out of that delusional slumber: We elect presidents to lead and not to showcasing their intellectual prowess in irrelevant matters.
7) A D graded student of post-independence African history?
When Membe cited TZ as the only nation in post-independence Africa that was spared of coup-détat, I kept wondering was he a little tipsy or it is just an illustration of poor attention to African history? Whatever the case Kenya, Malawi, Mozambique and Zambia just around our border have fared just like us and the lack of military coups in post-independent Africa is not a confinement of TZ as Membe would like us to believe. Where Membe generated the audacity to challenge his audience to name just one country in post-independent Africa devoid of military putsches ..I find his vigorous demeanor part of a major problem: Not assessing his intellectual strength and that will trouble if not capsize Membes campaign to state house.
8) Lacks persuasive power despite vehement intonations?
Where Membe regards his vehement deliveries as strength, I view them as a source of his internal weaknesses. Where vehemence is detached from reality is a sign of self-doubt papered over with intimidation tactics that his victims will be overwhelmed with his emotional synergies and fail to search out his misleading statements well, Membe can fool all of us for sometime but the challenge he has is to fool all of us all the time, and time seems to be running out of him.
9) Low likeability constraints?
Without brainpower, without persuasive skills and over-dependent on emotional energies to win the state house even his coterie of plaudits led by Mama JK; entirely on tribal arithmetics, will find the going very testy come 2015 It is very difficult to sell the Membe presidential candidature even within ccm rank and file Huyu Mheshimiwa hauziki hata kidogo.
10) Is there a place for an oversize ego in a presidential race?
With all of JKs weaknesses but he can convince many that he is humble although those few who had the privilege to encounter the innermost character in JK will argue he is haughty and unforgiving .where inner traits matter but when they are negative and open for discussion it spells nothing but trouble for Membe. If there is anything Membe can learn and internalize from JK is a genial smile, and at least a false humility facial outlook if he can not muster a genuine one. We love a boss who sounds like a servant while we know he is not despite oozing out with tons of hypocrisy.
A change of demeanor and attitude will do Membe a great deal ..and pretending he is omniscient above all will with obvious certitude yank away many potential a vote .
Will I ever vote for Membe? Knowing three years are ahead of us, I can safely confess it is too far ahead to commit myself either way but so far I am really not impressed with his attempts..

In this country being mediocre seems a surest way to climb the leadership ladder. What you underscore as the 'unfitnesses' could actually be the very qualities our voters enjoy!
Neither Membe nor Magufuli can lead this country!!
Mti wenye matunda.......
Mzee Mwanakijiji njoo utupe mwangaza kidogo kuhusu Membe.
Membe has to do a self assessment
Personally if I am to mention the right candidates for 2015 presidential post he is not in my top 5
Mind you being a a foreign minister does not guarantee you of being the next president clear that Myth in you
membe :the above analysis says it all.Pombe oops, ndio kimeo wa mwisho.Aliyesikia hotuba yake yake bungeni kwa wizara yake alivyokuwa akijipendekeza kwa JK na kumalizia kwa kujikomba na kujichekesha kwa Mbowe hadi nikahofia mambo mengi yake binafsi.Hawezi kuwa rais mwenye kujiomba vile, atawaface vipi wafadhili na viongozi wa nchi nyingine wanaojua ku portrays so many intimidating images, commanding languages, na huku wakipata back up ya military might, and economic stick while sisi tukiwa pushed na njaa zetu kama si mikwara ya jirani zetu.

This sounds like Mzee Punch's come-back! 10 New commandments
Good brain exercise. I would have executed it in a diiferent way. We lack time to examine all aspirants of the position like we do time to edit our pasted scripts eventually coming with uneven line and paragraph spaces.
Why spend time on Membe disqualification exercise? Let us examine and re-shape our system. Where the ambitious; clever, stupid, etc. will be at level-guided. Getting a genius for appreciation of the populous Tanzanian won't come ahead as it had never been. May be those dead two, who interchangeably closes the line of victory depending on the side of this country where you are. I mean Karume and Nyerere. Of course we pretend to forget their hopelessness and miseries inflicted to us, simply nobody is allowed to refer to their bad-past (forget about the courageous Mtikila).
Btw. Very few countries had ever been ruled/governed by clever people. It is a group of such voracious people who eventually scoops power. You know how Silvio Berluscon is on his way back to the European politics. Just give this guy a chance. Who knows? This is a wasanii country. They are here just for entertainment. And you are waiting for maendeleo! 🙂)Last edited by MchunguZI; Yesterday at 21:02.
