AFRICA!  
             WHERE ARE                      YOU  GOING AFRICA?
     Its undeniable fact that, for a long time many African nations have been programmed to consume what they do not produce, Africans have been monitored not to develop technology of their own but  heavily depend on the monopolistic nations abroad,it is very much strange to see African manufactured products existing in the markets of Africans and boastful say that "This 'tuku tuku' is manufactured in Tanzania, Kenya or Uganda" but the disappointing thing is just the skills that many Africans have on assembling goods that do not come out of their technological achievements. honestly I con cur with the statement made by the great Afrocentric thinker of the 21th century, If miracles be performed and say anything that is not produced in Africa disappear, Every men and women in Africa would remain naked like a jaybird! since all the suits,including the underwear are not produced in Africa! There should be a moment to reminisce the struggles waged by our late patriots (Sons of Africa) in Liberating the continent out of imperialists tentacles where Africans fallen  prey. That will be a precious moment as many will become aware of their common denominator. With these words I can concludes that there is no what the international radio and TVs call a Dictator in Africa because being a Dictator to them is to say NO  to their Exploitative motives on African soil. Say NO to the SAP Conditionality. You will be hunted and baptized such irritating name, probably next days one can face lethal punishment. This is a tragedy of Africa!

 The act of discouraging Certificates teachers in a current education system, Can it rise the standard of Education?
                  The structure of education system.
       The structure of the formal education and training system constitute  2 years of pre-primary education, 7 years of primary education, 4 years of junior secondary, ordinary 2 years of senior secondary advanced level and up to 3 years or more years of tertiary education. Generally the education system has three levels normally basic secondary, while tertiary or third level includes programs and courses offered by non higher and higher education institutions.
 After looking to that well detailed background of the education system and it's levels, now probably the questions can be; What level of education should the teacher have in order to  initiate effective teaching-learning take place to the learners? Does a graduate teacher suit to teach which level among the mentioned  in our formal education system?
       What about a well trained certificate teacher who's certified to teach a primary pupil, equipped with all facilities,skills, had enough time for teaching practices, well paid and having conducive teaching environment can't he/she perform very best in a classroom setting and implement the curriculum goals effectively? Those who say that our teachers perform very poor today in their field but surely they are good end product of the certificate teachers though far back in the years! My call is that let us try to figure out other ways of improving teaching- learning in a classroom setting by reviewing thoroughly the weaknesses of the current education system including the policy of educational liberalization,making a cross check up to the learners out put in each year.
           Chinapah et al (2000) assesed the relative importance of the factors that influence performance in eleven African countries using path Analysis with LISREL software programme as follows
-A learner's background ( gender, age, home language, pre- school attendance , repetition)
-Home background(meals, both parents in home )
-Home learning support (help with home work, parents,education)
-Teacher's background(age, gender,experience, qualification)
-Teaching condition (classroom furniture as well as learning materials)
-School head background(gender, qualification, experiences)
-School characteristics(facilities, size, safety, location owner)   Chinapah et al (2000)
      From this analysis its obvious that a teacher as a facilitator of the  teaching-learning is not a major setback to poor educational performance but more than this factor should be investigated deeply.

 HEALTH IN RURAL AREAS          

                                             
     

     For a number of decades health cares in rural areas is increasingly becoming worse, one can be shocked by the silence that is posed over the situation which indeed requires an immediate  attention to contain, complicated delivery in women is a major denominator, lack of permanent transport to get patients to hospital remains to be questions that has nobody to give back the answer, a case happened to  Mwajuma Haji Athumani who  wasn’t lucky enough to have someone  to get  her to the hospital. Three years ago Mwajuma went into labour whilst at home in her village of Kiembe. It was raining heavily so transport was unable to pass on the rural roads. She had no choice but to walk. She walked for half an hour to the local dispensary in Talawanda but no one was there to help her. Still experiencing labour pains she continued to Chalinze, a further hour away. But, still no one was available to help her. She then left for Tomby Kibaha Hospital. But, it was too late. She gave birth on the side of the road to a baby which was already dead. “I’m too ashamed to talk about it,” she said.  “The doctor suggested that if the road was better children wouldn’t die.” But, you can see it in her eyes she blames herself. But, it wasn’t her fault. And, she’s not the only local woman this has happened to. again one may be suffering from malaria but because transport is hard to find may decide to stay at home and rely in tradition medicine  a problem that has resulted in death of many children especially those below the age of five years therefore walking is the only option to these people in rural areas and those who are too weak to walk need people to carry them by hands or by (chekecheke) a sieve-  used to clean maize that is often adapted in an improvised  stretcher as is seen in picture

                                                                                                              Education as the backbone for the future of the children is still a matter of low priority to the society members and unequal representation of number of girls and boys at school continues up to the higher learning institutions, lack of  infrastructure at school and  other educational facilities such as books, laboratory equipments make the school life even more harder for both teachers and students  

Let's read and discover the treasure....

            
        


       Generally the town of Gata looks like a beautiful bloody home of ghosts, the place where 
peace dwells in few tongues, it's where even the street head man has rough mouth to the poor outsiders, men hunt their desired preys and vice versa, Human adults are increasingly bored with deepen respect from little girls so to create a mouse trap of lustful jokes and finally both would find each other on bed naked like jaybirds, singing and murmuring the sweetest rhythm of orgasm. An old man feels like a young boy of 18 years and the little girl forgets the moment of becoming a grandmother!  Trade is hidden in the scanty beautiful pants!   Soft drinks and money to afford precious ornaments such as diamond and golden bracelets, spring beads and necklaces are exchanged for deadly viruses which leave the body vulnerable to health threatening infections and the soul to swirl about in the human cesspit of its own desire! Marriage is a matter of the past in this home of mine, jilting and deceiving one another is legal and laws have been enacted and amended to it. If one welcomes you in his church, better you guess he committed a dreadful sin last day….. for the churches are sweetest deodorants to fresh their dirty profiles in the society, one may be shocked by the spirit of charity that they display in front of the congregation with huge amount of donations and sacrifices. Only few people afford luxuries in town but the larger masses starves like the lost sails men in the great ocean........... (pp.10)Charles.M.(2012).A son of man.unpublished.

I was there........

I was there,

Bible in the left hand,

A whip swung below the armpits,

And a gun in the right hand,

When the patriots were hunted and burned alive,

Detained and rot behind the steel rods.

I was there,

Before they divided and ruled you,

Called you savages and barbaric

Even before they tilled your mind,

For the seeds of despair be sown.

 I was there,

 Before the hot and cold combat,

Armament and disarmament,

Bi- polarity and impoverishment,

That of my lovely continent!

                                                                     

I was there,

Before the planes in made,                  

Volkswagen n’ Cadillac on the road,                                            

Global surfing, iphone and iPod,

Even before seeing the continent globalized!

(Everybody goes home 10^th april,2014)

Ooh friend!

Let me go lovely and freed,                                       

For the walk is must and creed,

Far into years mother walked,

Left me alone under breast feed,

And  in grandmother’s arm raised.                          

   

At the heart of such red soil,

Deep down the Earth wail,                                          

                                                                           

Where my empty body soul,

Shall lie after the long toil.

In a closed casket

Let my Flesh melt,

And the bones shrink,

For both are no longer Worth.

The lonely soul,

Swirls up high in sky,

Bequeath no smile,

But weep, sorrow and grief.

        Ooh friend!

Live to fight another life,

For no one knows the end of dusk,

That deeply hidden in the musk,

The musk of glory and endless kingdom,

Where everybody goes home.

Special to the very sorrowful first week of April 2014 when three students were lost consecutively!
