Social Media Seminar in Dar soon!

I am in early stages of organization for social media seminar in late July or in August for young people from high schools and high learning institutions in Dar es Salaam. Looking forward to be the first of it's kind in terms of the main topic presented and number of participants. Last year I did conduct two seminars in two of popular high schools in Dodoma town, more than anything I learned a lot from them. More young people sign up in social media sites such as Facebook but with little knowledge of the significance of their engagement and also forgetting a lot of other useful social media tools that may help them in both their academic and personal lives.

Je Demokrasia Haikui Bila Damu Kumwagika?

Wabunge Wa CHADEMA Walioshambuliwa!

Hilo ndo swali ambalo limekuwa linakuja kwa akili yangu kwa sasa, kutoka Tunisia, Misri, Syria,  na sehemu zingine, hivi demokrasia haikui bila vurugu na hata umwagaji wa damu? By-election za Arumeru zimepita na chaguzi za udiwani pia, tumeona yaliyotekea. Hii ni pamoja na kushambuliwa kwa wabunge wa chama cha Chadema..

AM WORKING HARD!

Thanks a lot. I have been receiving emails, people asking me what am doing 'why am I not updating my blog?'. Am working on few things and few weeks from now I will be updating this blog with also my activities socially.
I have always been looking for opportunities to encourage my fellow youths in social, political and economical developments and now I am about to take further steps in doing that. From March this year I will be spending much time in Dodoma, and when am there I will visit various local schools provide seminars to youths on various topics and where they will be teachers scarcity am planning to be spending one to two days in a week for helping to cover that space in local schools.
Am excited and it is going to very interesting and special time of the year to me, you got any view that will help me in making this thing more easy I welcome it.
I can't wait to ensure there are smiles on the little kids and fellow youths! I will be posting all developments, so stay with me!
Thank you all for your encouragement and care since 2007 to present! It has been a long journey and that time to do my part too has come! Thank you!

Stev,

ELECTIONS ARE HERE! VIJANA ARE WE PREPARED?

Prepared not to take bribes, but prepared to instruments of change. Change that is desperately needed. It can be any change, it depends from which prospect you judge it, but where i stand is a positive change by voting to serious people, am not talking about facial seriousness but seriousness in bringing maendeleo that we need.

Personally I am tired of corrupt officials, tired of politicians who are just talkers and not doers!!

It is our time vijana, time to take part in deciding our fate, our future prosperity and the future of our children and grandchildren for it is a solid truth that the people who will vote for in the coming few days will stay in government for a quite long time for them to cause lasting effects. Being positive or negative is what we are to decide!!

Lets stand up and MAKE AN IMPACT IN THESE ELECTIONS, LETS STAND UP AND DECIDE HOW WE WANT OUR COUNTRY TO BE LED IN THE COMING FIVE YEARS!

Lets not let political parties tear us apart, lets not let propaganda to influence our votes, lets let the need for a positive change, positive leaders influence our votes!

As we listen to the campaigns lets keep one thing in mind, LETS VOTE FOR REAL LEADERS AND NOT REAL POLITICIANS..LETS VOTE FOR PEOPLE WITH HUNGER FOR CHANGE AND NATION PROSPERITY.!!!


2010! Lets say 'Vijana tunaitaji zaidi!'

VIJANA WA TZ NA UCHAGUZI 2010!

Vijana wa Tanzania tunauwezo wa kufanya mabadiliko makubwa katika nchi hii kuliko kizazi kingine chochote kilichowahi kutokea since the Uhuru. Nasema hivi kwa sababu ni ukweli usiopingika ya kuwa kizazi chetu ndiyo kizazi kilichoelimika kwa wingi kulinganisha na vingine vyote vilivyopita. Asilimia kubwa ya vijana wa sasa wengi wamefika elimu ya secondary na kuendelea. Tumenufaika na globalization na kuwa kizazi kilichokuwa exposed to the outside world kuliko kizazi kingine chochote kilichopia. Vijana wa sasa tunaweza pata habari kirahisi kupitia simu za mkononi, television, internet, magazeti na vyanzo vingine vya habari.

Miaka 7 hadi 10 iliyopita lilikuwa jambo la ajabu kumkuta kijana wa miaka 14 hadi 18 akiwa na simu{ si simu ya tochi tuu bali advanced na zenye access to the internet}, lakini sasa hivi ni kitu cha kawaida tu.

Maendeleo haya yametuhakikishia kupevuka haraka kiakili na kuwa na mtazamo mpana sana, kuelimika mara nyingi kunamjenga mtu kutokukubali kuonewa, mfano tunaona migomo mingi vyuoni compare na miaka ya mababa na mamama zetu. Hii yote ni kutokana na kujifunza kutoka madarasani na dunia inayotuzunguka, kupitia globalization inasaidia kutupa ujasiri wa kusimamia haki.

Sasa tunatambua ya kuwa maendeleo ya mtu si kuwa na ‘uhuru na amani’ tuu, kwa hiyo campaign hizo hatuzitaki this year. Vijana wa the 21st Century tunatambua ‘uhuru na amani’ zinatakiwa zituletee social na economic development too. Miaka ya nyuma wanasiasa wengi wamewadanganya sana watu kutokana na kutoelemika kwao, JE VIJANA WA SASA TUTAKUBALI KUDANGANYWA PIA? Hell NO!

Kura zetu mkononi lets walk tall, tushiriki katika kupiga kura this year. ‘Giving up is not to wake up when you fall’ kwa hiyo usiwe na mentality yoyote mbovu ya kukuzuia kupiga kura. Maneno kama ‘hata ukimchagua Fulani, Yule mwingine atashinda tuu’ usiyape nafasi. Still believe in your vote na twende wote tukapige kura.

Tuachane na mentality ya kuwa siasa ni ya wazee na maneno mengine kama hayo, kumbuka viongozi watakaoingia madarakani effects za maamuzi yao hazitawa’affect wazee tuu. Kwa asilimia kubwa yatatu’affect sisi na our future lives.

Lets make this year’s election ZAMU YA KIJANA! VIJANA TUJITOKEZE KATIKA VOTING! THE LAST DROP CAN HAVE A HUGE EFFECT!!!!

Am watching!

VIJANA WA TZ NA CULTURE!! UTAMADUNI!

SAUTI ZA BUSARA;Mfano wa positive side ya globalization effect- easy culture exchange!


Wazazi na wazee wetu wengi wanalamamika kuhusu tabia zetu vijana wa sasa. Mara hiki mara kile, je, kuna kweli maadili yameshuka? Ni sahihi kusema vijana wa sasa tunauacha utamaduni wa wazazi wetu, na je tunafanya makosa by doing so? Kila mtu anamtazamo wake ila mimi nashusha wangu.

Kwanza, hadi leo sijatambua utamaduni wa asili wa mtanzania. Naamini hakuna utamaduni unaowezwa kuitwa wa asili wa watanzania kwa sababu ndani ya Tanzania tuna zaidi ya makabila 120 nao wote wanatamaduni zilizo'completely different from one another. Kitu pekee tunachoweza kuita identity ya mtanzania ni the swahili language. Anayebisha aseme....

Kila kabila lina utamaduni wake, kwa hiyo nachoamini as vijana wengi wa sasa tunaokulia mbali na mazingira ya kabila zetu{mijini} lazima tukue tofauti na matarajio ya wazazi na wazee wengi.

Tunazungukwa na watu wa tamaduni mbalimbali as we live together and interact tunachagua tabia mbalimbali toka interaction tofauti kama marafiki, tunachoona kwenye television na other sources of media.
Hiki kizazi cha 'globalization', kutokana na hili kuna postive na negative effects. Lakini ninachotaka mkubaliane na mimi ni kwamba wetu wengi wamekuwa waki'base kwenye negative effects bila kuangalia upande mwingine wa shilingi na hiyo ni makosa.
Kwa mfano kuna hii issue ya mavazi; eti mtu akivaa nguo fupi au inayoonesha sehemu kubwa ya mwili ni tatizo siku hizi, watu watasema siyo utamaduni wetu....MIMI NABISHA! Tutumie kisingizio kingine lakini si point ya utamaduni, hii ni kwa sababu utamaduni wa waafrika kalibia wote mavazi yao mengi yalikuwa na bado yanaonesha sehemu kubwa za mwili wao.

WOMEN OF EKITI TRIBE OF NIGERIA.

NDEBELE; Mfano wa Vazi la heshima hasa kwa wanawake walioolewa. Binti wa kibongo akionesha kitovu mzungu atalaumiwa!!

VIJANA WA KIZULU;Sehemu kubwa ya miili yao ipo uncovered.

JE KING MSWATI ANAKOSEA? Ila anafuata utamaduni....!!!
Madada zetu wanavaa lakini kiuhalisia hawajawafikia hawa!

Kwa hiyo kwa mtazamo wangu mabadiliko makubwa ni vitu kama the use of cocaine na prostitution ndo tunaweza kuita mabadiliko mabaya ya kiutamaduni. Mambo ya kusema kuanza mapenzi mapema kwa vijana wa miaka kumi na nane hadi ishirini na kitu sio kitu cha kulaumu utamaduni wa nje na globalization. Tamaduni nyingi kama si zote za Africa wadada wanaolewa wakiwa na umri mdogo sana, miaka 13 hadi 18 ni msichana mkubwa kwa makabila mengi. So point zingine zitumike issues za moral/culture decay zinapoongelewa. Africa kama moja haina tamaduni/culture identity, tupo so different from one another. Unachokuabaliana nacho wewe kabila jingine litapinga. Mavazi ni tofauti sana, ila kitu kimoja in common ni kwamba yanaonesha sehemu kubwa ya mwili!

MPO!

Tanzanian youths and what we can do in the coming General elections.

Our nation is passing through a unique era. An era with spread of politics popurality with major interest from from the young population too. Our youths generation of today is much educated than any generation since the independence.
Realising this I look forward for great changes in election atmosphere of this year.
I argue my fellow young people to go to ballots and use this unique opportunity to influence the changes we all need. Its time to insure the MPs and Presidential candidates are not going to rob our present and future, we should believe our votes can make a difference. Its time to stand tall and walk tall, ensuring in these elections we dont vote for 'a better future' promise BUT A BETTER TODAY! Not overshadowed by parties but by people, people who can influence changes and a better today!

MAKTABA ZINAZOUNGUA, VIJANA TUMEZITUMIA KWA KIASI GANI?

Mwaka 2009 umeisha vibaya kwa watanzania wazalendo na wanaojua historia ya nchi hii. Tulimpoteza mmoja wa waasisi muhimu wa nchi hii, Mzee Rashid Mfaume Kawawa. Naona faraja na furaha kwa kuwa mmoja wa vijana wanaojua mchango wa viongozi wetu waliopita. Viongozi ambao wakati wa utawala wao hawakugubukwa na tamaha za mali na wizi(ufisadi).

Nasikitika kwa sababu vijana wenzangu wengi wa sasa hatuwafamu watu hawa wala atujui mchango wao.
Tunachotakiwa kufahamu ni kwamba vifo vya wazee kama Hayati Mwl. Julius Nyerere na Hayati Rashid Mfaume Kawawa ni sawa na maktaba inayoungua. Ushauri wao na uwepo wao unasaidia sana muenendo wa serikali yetu. Ni watu wenye uzoefu na wameona mengi, ushauri wao ulikuwa na umekuwa wa muhimu na wenye mtazamo wa kati, nikimaanisha wakiangalia sio matajiri tu bali na hata maskini.

Tumepoteza watu muhimu sana, lakini hicho si cha kuongelea kwa sana kwa sasa tuangalie je kwa wale ambao bado wapo hai, TUNAWATUMIAJE?
