How do we call this Mr. Sir?

                             Another public holiday?

If there is anyone hating holidays let him bring  some to Tanzania. I dare say this, following a statement made by his excellency, president J.Kikwete today. It is world wide known that, Zanzibar revolution occurred on 12th January 1964. None disputes that. the 50th anniversary had been marked today, on 12Jan 2014, There is no problem with the whole week or so that preceded the anniversary.

However, what is astonishing is the statement by J.K that there will be an additional public day on Monday 13th 2014 to celebrate 50years of Zanzibar revolution. This is difficult to understand. What will be the name of the new public holiday? Can we call it a revised Zanzibar revolution? Or J.K's version of the Zanzibar revolution? I have so many unanswered questions.

To be frank, the additional holiday is disputably meaningless, it is something weak in color. It downplays the real Zanzibar revolution to acquire a new false face. Just imagine of many other public days per year, Union day, Workers day, Sabasaba day, Nanenane day, Nyerere day, just to name a few. Consequently we have Zanzibar revolution I and II. Where are we heading? Is this not typical laziness?

Without mincing words, this country is fed up with public days so to speak. There is no need for this. It is wise that people should know this reality and stop celebrating over senseless unfortunate holidays. This cripples our economy in the sense that people are made to stay in doors in the name of a public day!      


                                  " When did u arrive here?"

                                                                                                    I ask you politely, who brought thy here?
                                                                                                 Do you have some ear to hear?
                                                                                              Now, answer my query.

                                                                                         Did they bring you to impoverish us?
                                                                                      It seems your skull porridge's not in use
                                                                                     You mind is tarmacked.

                         It seems you are happy
                           With your new appointment
                               To rule our bones, to rest them
                                   On earthed beds.

                                        Your are not welcome
                                             Go back to your creator.

Thinking Objectively

                       Take a look at this Devilish Behaviour.                        Everyone is fed up with the Makambakamba and Dowans-Richmond Lowasa's abracadabra towards presidential contest s.   January Kaakamba te son of the former Dar DC has recently been quoted saying that he is a new messiah dedicated to lead this poor nation. Who prophesied this fake and unholy mission? Is it the former father or what?           Let Makamba and his fake prophet go back home and re-think again. We Tanzanians are fed up with father-son politics which endangers our country to comma. A careful at these tycoons there is no way one can prove of their sanity. They use most of their time in churches contributing to various projects in the name of their good heart. Are they not vote hunt...

Development in the Underdeveloped

The term ‘’Development’’ has been contended for a number of years. It can be simply asserted as the concept of both convergence and divergence. This means that, when the Tindiga of Dodoma defines or conceptualizes development, the concept will completely differ from that of an indigenous American economist. Consequently, the concept, ‘‘impedes thinking of one’s own objectives as Nyerere wanted; it undermines confidence in oneself and one’s own culture as  Stevenhagen demands; it clamours for management from the top down, against which Jimoh rebelled’’ (Esteva,2010,p.3). Therefore, this collective argument gives a clear preface and it introduces development as a concept of multiple definitions and theories; equally, this troubling concept can be traced far back time immemorial, but it gained momentum soon after the Second World War in 1945, the period famously identified as the turning point of the world history. Thus, in the 1950s various definitions and theories of  develop...
