This is Beyond Reality!!

These refugees from Burundi also nicknamed as babies factory … are allocated in one of refugees camps in Tanzania.

The camp was able to take care of 60,000 refugees being on the maximum side, and that was a population in the camp a couple of months ago.

Now … it is very interesting or astonishing information depends on where you look at…
The statistics have shown that every month, there are 200 newborns! Just from that population of 60,000 which includes men, women and children.

If you do analytical studies, you will realise that their birth rate is 40,000 per million population per year which is the highest if you consider focal statistics. In another way, this population of refugees in one camp has a population growth of 4% every year.


I am afraid to say, it may be possible for one woman to have two newborns in one year if the first is born in January, we may see another come in December!!!!!

Labda ni nchi ya ahadi na mahali pa kuongeza idadi yao...


Do you have any suggestion for them?

What's Up When it Rains in Dar!!!


When it rains in Dar, many roads turns to be temporary rivers and streams....
This has been there for many years, and yet NOTHING has been done to solve this problem...
Labda wahusika wanaona mito ikijitokeza barabarani ni neema, wanafikiri watapata samaki barabarani.
Is it so natural, that city fathers and mothers enjoys .....
Have a nice wednesday pals, get your "blind" leaders into powers, and enjoy all sorts of disappointments..... What should I say now..... you are blind too...
Cheers

Miaka 46 ya Muungano wa Tanganyika na Zanzibar

Leo watanzania tuna adhimisha miaka 46 ya kumbukumbu ya muungano wa nchi mbili za Tanganyika na Zanzibar ambao ulizaa Tanzania yetu ya leo.

Muungano huu haukuzaliwa kwa kujifurahisha au kuwafurahisha watu au mataifa fulani.
Ulipoanzishwa ulikuwa na malengo mengi.

Kwa sasa tunaelekea kukaribia nusu karne ya muungano huu, lakini sidhani kama tulishawahi kukaa na kutafakari mambo mangapi tumeyatimiza kutokana na madhumuni au makusudio ya muungano huu.

Nina imani viraka katika muungano huu ni vingi sana kiasi kwamba tunaanza kusahahu rangi halisi za muungano wetu.

Si vibaya tukianza kutafakari na kuufanya muungano huu uwe bora na wa mshikamano zaidi.

Mungu ubariki Muungano wetu, Mungu wabariki Watanzania.

Life in Upcountry

Just before crossing the Lake Victoria

Another side of the lake
Nilishasahau kama haya mabasi ya kupakia mizigo juu ya gari bado yapo, kwani yalisha tajwa kuwa hatari iwapo mzigo mkubwa utawekwa juu ya gari, kwani hubadili uwiano wa kati ( Center of gravity) kwenda juu zaidi na hivyo gari likiyumba hasa kwenye makorongo au bonde linaweza kupinduka. Pia mzigo ukizidi sana uzito ambao basi linaweza kuubeba, unaweza kuwaangukia abiria vichwa vikapigwa pasi kama Tom & Jerry. Lakini bahati mbaya hivi haviwezi kurudi kawaida...


Beggars are every where

At Last... I met my auntie (photo above), now in her 80s, ndio ana zaidi ya miaka 80 kwa sasa.
No grey hair, and still with her sight, however now a bit reduced
Was the happiest moment for all of us. The last time I saw her was 17 years ago!!!!

Shared Sunday Memory

As I sat at this corner of my front garden, it made me laugh when I recall how bitter I was when I arrived from work and found my gardener had "shaved" my trees in the process of prunning.

Just see below what he did 6 months ago.

I just want to wish you a lovely Sunday. And take it easy at the difficult times, shading out bad memories will make a way to new and fresh memories.
I have learnt something out of this garden!

Mlipuko Wa Volkeno Iceland Waleta Usumbufu Mkubwa Ulaya na Kwingineko

Kufuka kwa moshi na vumbivumbi la volkeno iliyolipuka huko Iceland kumesababisha hasara kubwa kwa mashirika ya ndege huko Ulaya kaskazini magharibi baada ya kufuta safari nyingi za kuruka na kutua kwenye viwanja vilivyoko huko baada ya moshi mzito wa volkano hiyo kutanda angani.
Hali hii imesababisha hofu kwa mashirika ya ndege kupita karibu na moshi huo ambao unahofiwa unaweza kuingia kwenye injini za ndege aina ya jet na kuweza kusababisha mlipuko au kuzimika ghafla kwa injini hizo na hivyo kusababisha kuanguka kwa ndege.
Wataalamu wa masuala ya jeolojia na afya wameshauri watu wakae ndani pale vumbi hilo litakapoanza kuanguka chini maana linaweza kuwa na madhara kiafya.

Mwanza - Rocks City

That is why they call Mwanza the Rock City
Capri point area

Bismark Rock


This area is near the Mwanza harbour and Kamanga ferry, soon I will start my journey across the Lake Victoria or Ziwa Nyanza, of course by photos.

Follow My History

Arrival at Mwanza airport after 7 years since I step my last foot here and 24 years since I move away from Mwanza, I felt a tricle of joy dropping inside my body! It was the greatest moment for me!

You will come to know why they call it the Rocky City! Just follow me!

Makongoro Road, connect the city center and airport. Single road, no corners... you are at the heart of the rockky city.

Kenyatta road, paves way to Shinyanga. This is a part of city center.


The famous "FISH". Kama ukitaka kujua nani kaoa au kaolewa, basi wee njoo ukae hapa siku za harusi uone watu wanavyogombea kupiga picha za kumbukumbu hapa.


I recall this round about, when I used to go to the railway station on my way to Mzumbe secondary school far far ...away by train.

Uhuru road, my famous street where I grew up, and my regular path when I was going to my village huko visiwani

This is the house along Uhuru street where I first live in Mwanza at the age of 4 years, I spent several years here, before moving away to Kirumba. Now it is a mini-shopping center


Rufiji street: I used to come to this green ground to play football.
Tukutane tena baadaye kwa msafara wangu. Nilipotelea sehemu fulani kupata samaki choma...

I am Ready for Political Arena

Hellow, I extends my apologies for paying little attention in blogging. I was in the middle of the village enjoying my holiday.
My holiday coincided with last day for registering eligible voters for this year elections.
I took that opportunity to register myself, because I believe that good leadership and governance is always identified by the public.
Mshangao nilioupata ni pale waandikishaji walipoamua kufunga kituo cha kuandikisha wapiga kura mapema kabla ya muda uluotangazwa na tume ya uchaguzi.
Kwa sababu nilitoka nyumbani nimeshajiandaa nikijua waandikishaji wakati mwingine huleta za kikwao kutishia wananchi.
Maandalizi yangu ilikuwa ni kula pilipili kabisa kabla sijaenda kujiandikisha ili niwe tayari kwa kuwa mkali kama pilipili pale watakaponipandishia, sikuwa nataka mchezo.
Haina maana yoyote kupiga kelele kwamba mtu huyu hafai kabisa, wakati muda wa kwenda kupiga kura unapofika mtu hajiandikishi na hivyo kukosa haki yake ya kumchagua mtu anayemtaka.

Happy Easter

I just wanted to wish you a happy Easter and receive all the blessings showered on this day.

Ingawa hapa Dar Kuna sehemu hakuna umeme tangu jana ikiwa ni sehemu ambayo nami nipo. Nimemkumbuka Kaka Fadhy alivyokuwa akilalamika kupitia mtandaoni. Nami nimeonja joto ya jiwe :-(

Here and there in Dar-es-Salaam - Tanzania

Si mbaya sana, japo katika eneo hili, najaribu kulinganisha na hapo kabla.

Across the Kigamboni Ferry, It is better than it was before.
