KWANINI LEO WAZUNGU WANAHUSUDU MAMBO TUSIYOYAJALI TENA?

Yupo Mwingereza mmoja maarufu sana aliyetimiza miaka 40 mwezi jana.
Huyu jamaa ana kipindi chake katika TV anachodondoshwa mwituni, jangwani au vichaka vya sehemu mbalimbali za dunia  na kuachwa. Hukaa bila chochote bali kisu kikali, mfuko mdogo na nguo alizovaa. Kuna wakati aliachwa pori moja la Zambia. Huko alizingirwa na wanyama, mito, chemchemi na nyika tupu. Alilala juu ya mbuyu. Chakula  kilikuwa wadudu, nyoka na maji ya mvua. Na hii tabia yake ya kula chochote anachokiona nyikani kiwe buibui,  chura, mchwa, asali, nyungunyungu,mbegu, matunda, madafu, majani, panya, fuko au ngiri ina malengo na mafunzo.

Mosi anajaribu kuonesha namna wanadamu tunavyopaswa kujua kuishi (na kumudu) bila kukata tamaa iwapo majanga yakitutokea au hakuna namna. Pili, anasisitiza wanadamu, (hususan Wazungu) tumeichangamkia teknolojia tukapoteza ubunifu, tukawa wavivu na waoga wa mazingira. Tatu, huelekeza kutokata tamaa, kujitegemea na kuwa wajanja pale shida yeyote inapojitokeza.  Zamani nikiwa jeshi la kujenga taifa (JKT) tulifundishwa ujuzi huu uliobatizwa nahau : “Ujanja wa Porini”...

Jina la huyu “mbabe” anayezidi kupendwa na hasa watoto na vijana  ni Bear Gryllis.

Ujanani, Bear Gryllis (pichani ) alikuwa  askari wa kikosi maalum cha Uingereza.

..RE BIRTH OF BASIC SKILLS OF SURVIVAL IN RICH COUNTRIES

If you have ever been to Dar es Salaam; harbour of peace and commercial city of Tanzania; it might be worth to be reminded of food, history and drink. During the 1970’s the area surrounding the Askari Monument on Independence Avenue (Samora Avenue today) had three appealing cafes. Luckily, Askari Monument itself (historic and symbolic), is still present and relevant. After celebrating a hundred years since the Great War of 1914 last year, this monument should be mentioned, even if in passing.
