World's Population Hits 7 Billion!!
The world's population is said to hit 7 billion today!
There is an increase of world populaton by 100% for the past 50 years.
I am trying to imagine what will happen in the next 50 years. Population increases, food and water reduced, there will be a big imbalance between population's growth and source of human survival on this planet.
Coming to global warming effects......now where are we heading?
Okay, welcome the 7th billion neonate!

President Paul Kagame Admires The Late Julius Nyerere
Maria Nyerere on behalf of her late husband, receive a National prestigious Medal awarded to the Late Nyerere for his contribution on human rights fights by President Kagame in Kigali, Rwanda |
I have been wondering all this time since I came to Rwanda about His excellency President Kagame the way he leads Rwanda....
Being born and grew up in Tanzania during Nyerere's Presidential time, I had no doubts that Rwandan President was taking good ideology of Mwalimu Julius Nyerere (The Father Of Nation), not in all aspects, but at least things which are applicable in Rwanda.
I have been observing Kagame's leadership and legacy, terms of services, communal develeopment, health status and services, country economy ownership, fights against public fund misuse, control of environment, nature and wild life, military training and discipline, living in harmony and peace, guided daily living life, control of chaotic news and National food and social security in general.
Eventually, I discover this truth....
In the interactive session President Kagame spoke of his admiration for the late Julius Nyerere
“I had a chance during my adult life to meet with the former President of Tanzania, the late Mwalimu Julius Nyerere. I was impressed by the way he was full of character and presence – he was the kind of person who never shied away from saying and doing what he believed was good for his people”.
On what he looked for in leaders, President Kagame said that a good leader should be able to integrate different ideas and know how to mobilise suitable players capable of delivering and contributing to the success of the system

Gadhafi: Received Brutal Death from Mob Justice
End of former Libyan leader, Mouammar Gadhafi was typically horrible!
The mob justice, that was the ultimate judgement for him which led to his death.
He was murdered brutally, beaten with anything available and anywhere where the kick manage to reach him. He was dragged and soaked on his own blood.
He was shot too, in the head and had some bone shattered. He suffered multiple visceral ruptures from the kicks around his abdomen.
He was undressed without being unbuttoned, his clothes which were already soaked with his blood were simply ripped of into pieces. He was stripped off too and people made fun of his corpse by taking videos and make photo with the laid down Gadhafi's corpse.
He died in severe pain and agony as the mob hit him hard helplessly. He actually witness every stage of his death while suffering from severe pain from kicks, fists, iron bars, dragging on the rough ground and so on.
It was really a brutal and shocking death

Habari Tata: Gadhafi Kakamatwa / Kauawa?
Kuna taarifa zisizo rasmi zinazodai ya kuwa aliyekuwa Kiongozi wa Libya kwa muda mrefu, Mwanamapinduzi Kanali mstaafu Moammar Gadhafi ameuawa baada ya kujeruhiwa miguu yote miwili katika shambulio la anga la NATO lililolenga msafara wa Gadhafi alipokuwa anatoroka mji wa Sirte.
Inadaiwa ya kuwa chanzo cha kifo cha Gadhafi ni majeraha aliyoyapata kwenye miguu yake.
Kuna madai mengine yanayosema ya kuwa aliyekuwa kiongozi wa mashambulizi ya Majeshi tiifu kwa Gadhafi, Abu Bakr Younus Jabr naye ameuawa katika shambulio hilo.
Wakati huo huo, wasemaji wa jeshi la waasi wa Libya, wanadai ya kuwa wamemkamata Gadhafi akiwa hai katika mji wa Sirte, na kuwa alikuwa amejificha katika shimo na aliomba asipigwe risasi! Kuna muasi mmoja anadai alishuhudia kukamatwa kwa Gadhafi.
Hata hivyo, habari hizi bado alijathibitishwa na kujua ukweli upo wapi.

CCM: Chama Rasmi cha Upinzani Wa ....
Mambo ya siasa :-((
Kusema ukweli huwa ni porojo na kuteka saikolojia ya hadhira ambayo mtu anaamua kujinadi mbele yao ili iweze kumpa rungu la kuwachunga au kuwaongoza.
Najaribu kukumbuka pale ambapo "Chama Chetu Maarufu" kilipoweka hadharani nia kubwa ya kujisafisha kwa kuondoa vishubaka vya kufichia waovu ili kionekane safi tena kama kilivyokuwa enzi za Baba wa Taifa.
Kikajipa miezi mitatu kuamua hatma ya wale wevi na wenye tuhuma nzito kujitoa taratibu kwa heshima na staha, vinginevyo cha moto wangekiona.
Sina hakika hicho "Chama Chetu Maarufu" kinahesabuje siku kwenye mwezi mmoja, maana kwa kalenda yetu ... tunafikiri tumeshapiga kona mbili au zaidi za hiyo miezi mitatu.
Kila mara tunasikia wimbo wa hiki "Chama Chetu Maarufu" ya kuwa hakiwezi kuendelea kukaa na watuhumiwa, ni lazima kiwakoroge na kuwamwaga, hata jana kwenye jukwaa la kisiasa, kupitia msemaji wake kilisema hadithi ile ile, ya kuwa ni lazima kitawaondoa, na ati hao ma-bazazi, wanatumia fedha nyingi sana kuhakikisha wanakikandamiza Chama Chao na kuhakikisha kinaingia kwenye kambi rasmi ya upinzani!
Nahisi huu wimbo wa kukisafisha Chama hiki, karibu utatoa vimelea sugu vya kutokusikilizwa tena, kwani hata dawa ukiitumia tu bila mpangilio kwa muda mrefu na mara kwa mara, basi vimelea huizoea na kugeuka sugu na kuendelea kuishi na kuzaana tena kwa kasi kubwa.
Tunangoja siku moja hapo hali ya kushangilia itakapobadilika na kuwa ya kuzomea, halafu sijui wasemaji nao watakuwa wameshaota usugu, na kutafsitri kuzomea huko ni kama vile kushangilia.
Basi na tuiangalie hii bendera hapo juu inavyopepea, kama ipo sawa au ni kinyume. Tuache kuangalia kama ina vitu vyote vinavyotakiwa, bali tuangalie kama kweli inasonga mbele, na imekaa sawa. Kutokea hapo, tunaweza kuamua kama tumeridhika na tunataka kuendeshwa kama bendera ilivyo au tutataka kuiweka sawa na kuendelea na kitu kilicho sahihi. Bila kusahau, tunaweza kuangalia hata na jirani yetu, ... je, naye bendera yake ipo sawa, na tunakubaliana na alivyoiweka, na je tunaweza kumuunga mkono akatuelekeza kule tunapotaka kwenda?
Tumefika wakati wa kuchagua chombo kitakachotupeleka kule tunapotaka kufika (na sio kwenda) tukiwa na imani kweli kitatufikisha, na tuachane na dhana ya kumchagua nani wa kutufikisha bila kuangalia hata uwezo wake, mabadiliko yake yenye tija, uzoefu na historia yake katika safari yetu hii ya maendeleo.
Nimeibuka tu toka usingizini nikajikuta naadika yote haya, ngoja nikapate kikombe cha kahawa nitafakari zaidi....
