Ulikuwa usiku wa manane nilipokuwa nimelala chumbani mwangu. Mara nikasikia mchakacho wa mtu aliyekuwa akitembea nje karibu na dirisha la chumba changu. Niliamka taratibu na kunyapanyapa hadi dirishani nikavuta pazia. Lo! Niliyoyaona sikuweza kuyasadiki hata chembe. Nje kulikuwa na tambo la mtu lenye macho makubwa na mekundu kama damu. Meno yake nayo yalitisha kukithiri mpaka yalikuwa marefu na machunge - michonge kama yale ya msumeno. Kucha zake pia zingeonyesha kivumbi zile za simba.

"Ni baradhuli gani hawa wasio na haya kunisumbua usingizini." Nikajiuliza kimoyomoyo. Moja kwa moja nikazama katika bahari la mawazo. Nikakumbuka Mungu wangu mtukufu ambaye nilikuwa nimemzika kwenye kaburi la sahau kwa miaka na dahari. Nikapiga magoti na kumwomba. "Mungu wangu! Mungu nisaidie! Usi...ni...sahau! Nikajipata naropokwa kama chiriku. Lakini ifahamike kuwa kuomba msaada siko kupewa, aidha kuchumbia siko kuoa kama vile kulenga si kufuma. Ghafla bin vu, jitu lile la mataruma manne liliuachilia mlango teke zito kama nanga. Mlango nao huo! ukajipeperusha kama unyoya mpaka ndani. Nami nikajua kuwa wakati wangu wa kufunzwa kilichomkosesha kuku matiti ulikuwa umewadia. Kwa mara ya kwanza nikabanwa na kiwewe kisicho na kipimo. Uoga ajabu ukanivaa nacho kijasho chembamba na baridi mithili ya barafu kikanitoka kwapani. Mate na makamasi yakanitonatona kwa michirizi minne. Nikatetemeka kama upanga ulliotiwa tahabibu.

Papo nikaukumbuka ule msemo wa wazee wa kale, mbwa hafi maji aonapo ufuko. Mara lo! Woga uliniyeyuka na nikaamua kupambana na lile pandikizi la mtu ana kwa ana.

Shirika laungama uvuvi umenoga ila ukosefu wa uhifadhi ni pigo kuu 
Mwenyekiti wa shirika la mkopo la Kilifi Fishers, Kassim Shali mnamo Jumatano alisema kuwa wavuvi kutoka maeneo ya uvuvi (BMU) katika kaunti ya Kilifi wamepata hasara ya takriban Sh5 milioni kwa kutokuwa na vifaa vya kuhifadhi samaki. 
Hasara hii ilitokea walipovua viwango vya juu vya samaki tangu mwezi wa Disemba mwaka jana hadi sasa, baada ya kushirikisha wavuvi kutoka Pemba, Tanzania ambao wana ujuzi wa kuvua katika maeneo ya ndani ya bahari. 
Akizungumza katika kivukio cha feri cha kitambo katika mji wa Kilifi, Bw Shali alisema kuwa wavuvi katika maeneo hayo hawana vifaa vya kisasa vya kuhifadhi idadi kubwa ya samaki, jambo ambalo limaeathiri soko lao. 
"Zaidi ya tani tatu za samaki hu vuliwa kila siku lakini hatuna mahali pa kuwahifadhi. Wavuvi na wachuuzi wa samaki wanapata hasara wakati huu ambapo mavuno ni mengi na soko la samaki ni duni,” akasema. 
Wavuvi na wauzaji samaki wamelazimika kukopesha samaki wao kwa wafanyabiashara katika miji ya Mtwapa na Mombasa na bado hawajalipwa. Baadhi ya samaki hao wamekaushwa kwa matumizi ya baadaye huku wengine wakiuzwa kwa bei ya chini. 
Kwa sasa bei ya samaki imeteremka kutoka Sh250 kwa kilo moja hadi Sh100. 
Kulingana na Bw Shali, kulikuwa na mtambo wa kuhifadhi samaki ambao uliundwa miaka 10 Iiliyopita wakati Gavana Amason Kingi alikuwa waziri wa uvuvi, lakini uliharibika. 
Alisema kwa sasa wavuvi wamelazi mika kutafuta soko haraka kabla samaki waharibike.

The Eighty Years' War (; ) or Dutch War of Independence (1568-1648) was a revolt of the Seventeen Provinces of what are today the Netherlands, Belgium and Luxembourg against Philip II of Spain, the sovereign of the Habsburg Netherlands. After the initial stages, Philip II deployed his armies and regained control over most of the rebelling provinces. Under the leadership of the exiled William the Silent, the northern provinces continued their resistance. They eventually were able to oust the Habsburg armies, and in 1581 they established the Republic of the Seven United Netherlands. The war continued in other areas, although the heartland of the republic was no longer threatened. This included the origins of the Dutch colonial empire, which began with Dutch attacks on Portugal's overseas territories. At the time, this was conceived as carrying the war with the Spanish Empire overseas due to Portugal and Spain's being in a dynastic union, making the war one of the first global wars. The Dutch Republic was recognised by Spain and the major European powers in 1609 at the start of the Twelve Years' Truce. Hostilities broke out again around 1619, as part of the broader Thirty Years' War. An end was reached in 1648 with the Peace of Münster (a treaty part of the Peace of Westphalia), when the Dutch Republic was definitively recognised as an independent country no longer part of the Holy Roman Empire. The Peace of Münster is sometimes considered the beginning of the Dutch Golden Age. Nevertheless, despite achieving independence, from the end of the war in 1648 there was considerable opposition to the Treaty of Münster within the States General of the Netherlands since it allowed Spain to retain the Southern Provinces and permitted religious toleration for Catholics.

Panya na Paka Hapo zamani, paka  na panya walikuwa  marafiki. Panya walianza  kupoteza baadhi  ya jamaa zao. Panya mmoja  mzee alisema,  "Nadhani paka  wanatula." Akina mama  waliwaambia  watoto wao, "Kueni  waangalifu.  Msiende nje." Panya wote  walikuwa  waangalifu.  Waliketi ndani ya  mashimo yao. Paka walianza  kuwa na njaa.  Waliuliza, "Panya  wako wapi?" Paka  waliwatembelea  panya.  Walitaka kupanga  harusi kati yao. Walisema,  "Tungependa binti  wenu mmoja  aolewe kwa  mvulana wetu." Panya  waliwaambia paka,  "Mnadanganya.  Mnataka kutula." Mwishowe,  walikubali kuwa na  harusi kati ya  wanao. Paka walirudi  nyumbani kwa  furaha.  Walilamba midomo  yao. Siku ya harusi,  panya walikuwa  waangalifu sana. Paka waliwasili  wakiimba wimbo  wa harusi. Wimbo ulisema,  "Washikeni  muwale." Panya mzee  alianza kuimba,  "Kimbieni, panya,  kimbieni." Panya mzee  aliwaambia paka,  "Sisi nanyi si  marafiki."

Kwa umbali, Jere alihisi ncha za macho vibandani vilivyozagaa zikimehoma kijiani alikotembelea. Wingu kubwa la uvumbi lilifanya anga kuonekana kama ziwa kubwa lililobwagia chote na yote lilikovunia. Sauti hapa na pale ilisikika na kwa sekunde alidhani kalisikia jina lake katajwa na kisha kufuatiwa na kimya.

Jere alielewa ya kwamba alifananishwa na nduguye Meya aliyekuwa mkashifu, na ambaye hakuyatekeleza matakwa ya Ajmaina waliomchagua na kwa kweli hajulikani mwema na muovu. Dhidi alivyomwonya nduguye kuhusu jambo hilo alikuwa sikio la kufa lisilosikia dawa. Meya aliwaongoza watu kwa ufimbo na yule ambaye alijaribu kuyakashifu matendo yake alipambana ana kwa ana na simba marara.

Alikumbuka wakati mmoja alipomtembelea nduguye kwa lengo la kutetea haki za wafanyikazi jijini. Juhudi zake ziliambulia patupu alipopokea kichapo cha mbwa kwenye kiwambo kile. Dunia mti mkavu kiumbe usiuegemee.

Sheria mpya ilipitishiwa ya kwamba wote waliojaribu kugatua serikali wangekatwa ndimi zao kwa kosa la uchochezi. Jambo hilo lilichochea mgomo wa wafanyakazi jijini huko. Bila shaka, amani haipatikani ila kwa ncha ya upanga.

Hayo yote hayakulainisha moyo wa Firauni huyu na alipohojiwa na wanahabari, alisema kwamba ilikuwa shida iliyosuluhishwa katika sekta ya fedha na wafanyakazi wangeyapata marupurupu yao yote, pindi warejeapo kazini.

Aliendelea kusema ya kwamba jiji lake tukufu lilikuwa miongoni mwa miji iliyoendelea na ikiwa wangekosa kurejea makazini mwao, ikiwa fadhila ya punda ni mashuzi, wote wangepigwa kalamu na wengine wengi waliohitimu kutoka vyuo vikuu waajiriwe.

Jambo hilo lilitia simanzi moyoni mwa Jere kwani alighairi vyema uongozi wa nduguye ungegonga mwamba, iwapo hatua ya dharura isingechukuliwa. Lakini afanyeje na yote aliyohitaji alikuwa tayari kajizatiti kuyatekeleza? Aliamini ya kwamba damu ni nzito kuliko maji lakini moyo wake uliatuliwa na vitendo vyake vya kijuha.

Upendo aliokuwa nao kwake tangu utotoni hadi wakati wa ujana ndio uliomfanya akate kauli kurejea kiamboni pale. Kwa mara hii, hata kama angepokea kichapo kingine ama zaidi apate kukatwa ulimi. Afua ni mbili, kufa na kupona na kwa imani kuu aliamini ya kwamba atafutaye hachoki, akichoka keshapata. Imani hii ndiyo iliyomfikisha mlangoni pale apate kufa na mzaliwa naye.


Question: Amani haiji ila kwa ncha ya nini
Answer: Upanga

FAIDA NA MADHARA YA TEKNOLOJIA KATIKA SHULE ZA SEKONDARI
Uvumbuzi wa teknolojia na utumizi wake umezagaa kote ulimwenguni. Si mashuleni, si hospitalini, si majumbani na hata maabadini. Teknolojia ina manufaa na madhara yake kwa pamoja. Uvumbuzi wa teknolojia umesababisha mambo mengi kuwasilishwa ipasavyo kando na madhara yake.
Katika shule za upili, yaani sekondari, teknolojia imeweza kuwafanya wanafunzi wengi kudurusu ipasavyo. Hii ni kwa ajili ya serikali yetu kuamua kusambaza vipatakilishi mashuleni. Wanafunzi wa sekondari vilevile hutumia simu za mkono katika kudurusu kwao.
Utumizi wa simu za mikono katika kudurusu kumewaletea wanagenzi wengi kufanya vyema katika mitihani yao kwa sababu wanaendelea kudurusu hata wakiwa majumbani wakati wa likizo. Uvumbuzi mwingine umetoka ambapo kumewasilishwa masomo ya mtandaoni ambapo wanafunzi wa sekondari hujifunza na kupata elimu ya kutosha.
Utumizi wa tarakilishi na vipatakilishi shuleni kumewafanya wanafunzi wengi kupotoka. Hii ni kwa sababu wanafunzi hao wanatumia vifaa hivi kwa mambo mengine kinyume na kutumia kusoma. Madhara haya huwaaribu wanafunzi wanapofikia shule za sekondari kwa mfano, uzinduzi wa mitambo iliyozinduliwa na wana sayansi kama vile utazamaji wa televisheni katika shule, ambapo wanafunzi hawa, bila ya kusimamiwa na walimu, basi hutazama picha chafu, na huwa wanafurahia. Mwanafunzi yule huaribika akili na mawazo yake ya kusoma hupungua.
Jambo lingine ni utumiaji wa kemikali hatari ambazo wanafunzi hawa huzitumia kusomea kwa kufanya majaribu katika masomo kadhaa kama vile kemia na bayolojia. Kwa kweli kemikali hizo zingine huwa ni sumu na zingine husababisha mlipuko na huenda zikachoma baadhi ya vitu. Nayo huwa haina budi bali kutumia kemikali hizi kwani ni lazima kusoma masomo hayo. 
Kwa kweli nadhahiri kwamba kuna umuhimu na pia kuna madhara ya teknolojia. Upande mwingine inaharibu wanafunzi aidha kwa jambo lile au hili. Kinachotakiwa ni kwa wanafunzi wawe wa angalifu sana wanapotumia teknolojia.
Ningependekeza pia kwa shule nyingi ambazo zinatumia teknolojia nao ziwe na uangalifu kwani chochote kinaweza kutokea kwani alipangalo mungu hakuna anayeweza kulipanguwa.

Question: Uvumbuzi wa teknolojia na utumizi wake umefanya nini
Answer: umezagaa kote ulimwenguni

Kiswahili ni lugha la taifa na inafaa walimu na wazazi wasaidiane kumarisha lugha hii. Mtoto anapozaliwa, wazazi wanafaa kuwaongelesha kwa Kiswahili ili wanapokuwa wawe watoto ambao wanaweza kujieleza katika nyanja mbalimbali. Hii huleta umoja baina ya watoto kutoka família zote kwa sababu wanaela na wanaongea kwa lugha moja na kusikilizana na kuelewana. 
- Walimu wanafaa kusisitiza uongeleshaji wa lugha hii shuleni kwa sababu mitihani zote za taifa husetiwa kutia lugha ya taifa. Hakuna siku utapata mitihani ikisetiwa kwa lugha ya mama kwa sababu haitaleta uelewano. Walimu wanafaa kusisitizo utumiaji wa kiswahili shuleni na yule ambaye hatafuata mkondo huo lazima apate adhabu anazofaa. 
Mzazi anafaa kumnunulia mwanawe vitabu vya hadithi ili wamarisha lugha yao. Mzazi anafaa kuwasomea na kuwaeleza ujumbe na mafunzo yanayotoka katika hadithi zile. Mzazi anafaa pia kufahamu nyimbo ambazo mwanawe husikiliza wanafunzi wanfaa kusikiliza nyimbo zilizoimbwa na lugha ya kitaifa ili wapate ujumbe unaofaa. Walimu pia wanafaa kuhakikisha kuwa michezo kama vile drama shuleni hufanywa kwa lugha ya Kiswahili. Hii huleta uhusiano baina ya watu na huleta umoja. Inafanya wanafunzi kujua historia za kila jamii: Nyimbo hizo pia huwaeleza wanafunzi kuhusu historia na utadamuni wa kiswahili. 

Question: Nani wanafaa kusisitiza kuongea kwa Kiswahili shuleni

ï»¿Mdiria na bahari  

Kuliishi mfalme katika  Kisiwa cha Rusinga.  Mfalme huyo hakuwa  amehisi maumivu  maishani mwake.  Hakuwahi hata dakika  moja.  
Asubuhi moja mfalme  alikiinamisha kichwa  chake. Aliwaza namna  maumivu yanavyokuwa.  "Kuna watu wengi maskini  katika ufalme wangu.  Nitawezaje kuhisi  maumivu yao?" alijiuliza.  
Mchana na usiku,  alitamani kuhisi maumivu  angalu mara moja tu.  Usiku mmoja, aliota ndoto  akasikia sauti ikisema,  "Nimesikia matakwa yako.  Utahisi maumivu."  
Sauti hiyo iliendelea,  "Yajenge mashua kubwa  saba ambamo utaweka  mali na familia yako. Kisha  safiri ukielekea upande wa  kaskazini mwa Kisiwa cha  Rusinga."  Mfalme alifurahi sana.  
Muda mfupi baadaye,  mashua saba yalijengwa  na wakawa tayari kusafiri.  
Siku moja kabla ya safari,  mfalme aliandaa sherehe.  Kila mmoja alihudhuria.  Chui, nyoka, sungura,  konokono, ndege na hata  siafu, wote walifika kwa  sherehe.  
Mfalme aliwahotubia  watu, "Mimi na familia  yangu tunaondoka  kwenda sehemu tofauti ya  Kisiwa cha Rusinga.  Tunataka kuhisi maumivu  ambayo watu wengine  huhisi."  
Watu walinong'onezana  miongoni mwao. Wazee  hawakumwamini.  Lakini, ni nani angemhoji  mfalme?  
Siku iliyofuata, mfalme na  familia yake walisafiri.  Kwa siku mbili, mashua  yalipita majini. Anga  lilikuwa wazi, bahari ilitulia  na safari ilifurahisha.  
Lakini siku ya tatu, bahari  ilichafuka. Anga lilibadilika  likatanda mawingu.  Walikumbwa na dhoruba  kubwa.  Mashua yalizama. Mfalme  hakuweza kufanya lolote.  Familia na mali yake  ilipotelea baharini.  
Mfalme pekee alinusurika.  Lakini, alikuwa  amebadilika na kuwa  mdiria.  Mdiria aliruka akatua  ukingoni mwa bahari.  Alikuwa bado akitumaini  kuipata familia na mali  yake kutoka baharini.  
Mdiria alipiga mbizi  baharini mara nyingi.  Hakuweza kuiokoa familia  yake au hata baadhi ya  mali yake.  "Kama ningejua,  ningeyafurahia maisha  yangu yalivyokuwa," alilia.
