Mashaka akila pozi
Mashaka akihutubia mamilionea kwenye hafla ya Rotary
John Mashaka na milionea Joan CooperHoya Wadau,
Nyuzi hiyo hapo nimeipigani kwa udi na uvumbi kuipata. I am proud of this guy. He is a Tanzania na story yake ilitokea kwenye gazeti la Charlotte Observer.
Bwana Michuzi, lazima tuwape watu hongera wanazostahili, hiyo dola 200 niliyolipia kuipata hii story ni kidogo sana kulinganisha na kazi anayoifanya jamaa kwa ajili ya nchi yetu. Hata na wewe siku moja nitakutumia kizawadi kwa maana unaifanyia kazi nzuri sana Tanzania.
Nadhani wengi sasa inabidi watambue mchango wako kwa Nchi yetu. Huyu kijana ni mdogo sana, miaka 30 tu! Huku anawika kwenye ma business week magazine.Kadhalika anafanya kazi Wall-Steet, sehemu hata wazungu wengi wanaiotea ndoto.
Wazungu na vituo vyao vya redio na televisheni wanamhoji kila mara, anapanda sana chati, lakini kikubwa ni moyo na bidii aliyo nao, ni kijana wa ajabu sana. Mimi sijamuona huso kwa uso, lakini namsikia kila mara.
Wabongo tunapanda Chati, vijana wetu wanaamka sana sasa hivi.

JOHN MASHAKA, A PEACE- MAKER IN THE MAKING
By our Staff Writers
04 March 2008
The Charlotte Observer
He sat quietly in a business, navy blue suit, amidst prominent, well known corporate heads in the Cozy and exclusive, South Park Manzetti Restaurant Board Room. Until he rose to speak, everyone, all members of the prestigious Rotary Club International, wondered what this quite, humble young man was up to.
As the say goes, that, do not judge a book by its cover, well, he proved those who judged him by his quietness wrong; he had more for his listeners than the expensive suit he wore. His heart spoke louder than his voice
His soft tone did not stay soft for a long time; his eloquence rented the room and pierced through many hearts; John Mashaka, delivered a well thought concise and poignant speech that touched different aspects of human suffering.
“Why must we kill each other? Why must we hate each other? And how for how long are we going to stand while seeing the world burn in ashes? I am not a philosopher or a politician; I am only a concerned private citizen who wants to see the best out of men.
I only want to see human living by each other happiness not by each other’s misery. I want to see a world where humans are not being treated as charity cases but as humans” These were Mashaka’s concluding sentences.
Not a stranger to the podiums or headlines, John Mashaka, is becoming a household name by his emotional and inspiring speeches across the state.
Joan Cooper, Cooper & Company’s, CEO, a well known millionaire, could not help herself, but break in tears to hear Mr. Mashaka narrate his horrific stories of suffering while visiting Tanzania, last August.
He is indeed God sent servant. The world needs more of Mr. Mashaka, I was particularly touched by his humility and love towards humanity, recounted Ms. Cooper.
Wachovia’s Investment Banker, Mashaka, balances his busy, fast paced Wall-Street work by donating his time to charitable organizations across the country, and takes three weeks annually without pay, to help people in his native country of Tanzania with his own funds
Mashaka narrated seeing 20 children at Safina-Orphanage in the middle of the slams go without food, and the most touching story was about a two year old boy, suffering from Meningitis at Shirati-Hopsital who could not receive treatment, due to lack of $12
John Mashaka, a native of Tanzania, grabbed headlines in 2005; after he sold his car and returned to his homeland to help his village during famine, with food and clean water. His latest trip to Tanzania was featured in Business Week Magazine’s, December edition.
He is currently planning to establish his own foundation that will cater for his village’s social needs such as a secondary school, a clinic and a fund to sponsor bright kids into higher learning institutions
A 2004 UNC graduate, Mr. Mashaka is not your typical young man; he is a man with a mission, he is well respected, and stands tall in his peer group, and could not have come at a perfect time, when the world need millions of generous and passionate people like him

Hongera kaka yetu Mashaka,sasa Michuzi hizi ndio habari za kutuletea maana zinatupa changamoto na sisi vijana kujiendeleza kama huu mfano mzuri anaouonyesha Mashaka. Sasa zile ulizotoa za mdada wa Play Boy sijui inanisaidiaje mimi binti wa kitanzania. Inabidi watanzania tuwe tunatoa mifano kama hii kila wakati ili kupeana changamoto na sisi kujiendeleza sehemu yoyote tuliyoko ulimwenguni na tujue kwamba vitu kama hivi vinawezekana na sio kwamba ni njozi tu. Kama Mashaka ameweza hata wewe na mimi pia tunaweza, so keep up the good work bro, and God bless.
ReplyDeleteIt's an inspiring story and we are proud of what he's achieved and yet to achieve.
ReplyDeletemichuzi unajitahidi basi anakaribishwa tanzania kusaidia jamii hasa katika kipindi hiki, hongera zake jamani, mpeni moyo ndo maisha yanavyokwenda, sasa aendelee na moyo huo huo, sio kukatishwa tamaa.

THIS IS THE REAL BONGO CELEBRITY; HUYU NDIYE CELBRITY WA KWELI, HACHANA NA WALE MACHANGU DOA WA VITUKO
ReplyDeleteBRO, VIPI, MIMI NINACHOOMBA NI KAZI, MZEE KIKWETE MBONA VIJANA KAMA HAWA WASILETWE TANZANIA NA USOMI WALIO NAO WABADILISHE JAMII YETU. BRO MICHUZI, HONGERA SANA, HII NDIYO NEWS YA KUTUTIA MOYO HATA NA SISI TULIOCHANGANYIKIWA NA MAISHA
Kudos to you John Mashaka!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat an inspiring atory, kuna msemo usemao "kutoa ni moyo usambe si utajiri"
Keep it up John!
& hopefully michuzi utatuletea stories nyingi za hivi, inabidi kupeana moyo tusingojee misaada na kukimbizana na never ending drama
Mashaka... Saafi sana mtu wangu!! Peperusha bendera letu hilo huko ughaibuni kaka....Michu, chukua tano mtu wetu manake ma dataz yako si utani!!!!
ReplyDeleteMungu Ibaraiki Tanzania..........
hivi kikwete amekuja hapa marekani ana utaratibu gani wa kuonana na watanzania, ni swali tu mbona wengine hapa us hatujamuona, ni vizuri kama akitangazia watanzania wote, maana sio rahisi huu ubalozi kutupa habari, ni za kuficha ficha tu.
ReplyDeleteI am very touched with the guy and God bless him. Watu wenye moyo safi na wa huruma kwa wenzao wako wengi, lakini wanaokwenda mbele zaidi na kuamua kujitoa kusaidia jamii zao wako wachache.
ReplyDeleteTubadilike na kufanya yale tunayoamini kwamba tunaweza kuyafanaya katika kubadili maisha yetu na ya jamii zetu.
Real tears are not those that fall from the eyes and cover the face, but are those that fall from the heart and cover the soul...Mashaka yors are real tears!
To worry about what you can influence is stupid, to worry about what you can’t influence is useless...You go Mashaka
Never deprive someone of hope; it might be all they have. A word of encouragement during a failure is worth more than an hour of praise after success....You are on the right truck Mashaka, yes you are!
Asante sana Mashaka mungu akubariki,achana na mafisadi.Keep it up!Sure,hii ni challenge kwa vijana wengine.Michuzi haya ndiyo mambo tunayohitaji siyo mambo ya udaki.Tunataka ku-brainstorm,hatutaki machangu.(Michuzi Uwe unaweka machangu kimtindo wanasaidia kusafisha macho!)
ReplyDeleteNo ability without oportuinity!
ReplyDeleteHawa ndio wasomi wa Kitanzania. This is a Brainy, huyu kijana yetu macho tu, hachana na washenzi kama Richard, akili tupu, mamiss wanaochafua magazeti yetu, Huyu ndio Superstar wetu
ReplyDeleteKaka Michuzi, mimi ni dada mrembo sana na mzuri kitabia, natafuta mchumba, hivi huyu kaka ameshaoa au bado, jamani si uniunganishe naye niwe mama watoto wake, simtaki kwa sasabu ya umaarufu wake au utajiri wake, na mtaka kutokana na moyo alionao
Jamani mbona wasio na bahati hawabahatiki.
Hivi huyu ni mtanzania au mzungu mweusi, mbona tabia zake siyo za kiafrika? wee mwafrika gani atauza gari lake kusaidia masikini? Thubutu
ReplyDeleteKaka mashaka, hongera sana, mungu akuzidishie. You are our hero, naomba tuwasiliane
Kama michuzi naomba uniunganishe na huyu kaka
Irene
Excellent post kaka Michuzi. Habari kama hizi ndio tunazotaka kusoma sio za hao machangudoa. Hongera sana kwa kijana mwezetu mashaka, anatutia moyo sana sana.
ReplyDeletePia nampongeza mdau alitoa hoja kuhusu rais anapotembelea Marekani, ubalozi wafanya kuficha ficha habari za ujio wake. Wenzetu wa UK habari zinasambazwa kwa kasi na ubalozi, au sababu balozi wa kule ni mwanamke hivyo anakuwa anaushirikiano wa karibu sana na wafanyakazi wake na kufuatilia mambo kwa pamoja?
michuzi nakubaliana na huyo hapo juu, huu ubalozi wetu hapa dc, unaonekana kuwa na siri sana, raisi akija hapa, wengine hata hatupati habari inasikitisha na kukatisha tamaa, au hata kama waziri mku anakuja watu wa ubalozi wana wivu sana, wanasambaza ujumbe kwa watu wanaowajua kama wanakuonea wivu hawakuambii, utasikia tu mahali, asante sana kaka michuzi blog yako inanufaisha wengi kwani haabri ziko wazi na sio za siri, jamani tutafika kwa mambo haya.
ReplyDeletesidhani kama kikwete anajua mambo hayo ya watu wa ubalozi, wengine wana wivu na wanafaidi, wanajifanya wana siri hamna tena, utasikia tu raisi alikuwepo. asante sana kaka michuzi ubarikiwe na mungu wa mbinguni milele.
ReplyDeleteMimi naona Ubalozi wa Tanzania nchini marekani unahitaji kureshuffle sana....Ni mambo mengi tu hayana mpangilio.
ReplyDeleteSimu yao inasema mon-fri 9-5 lakini ukifika pale asubuhi hawafiki mapema.Yule mwanadada pale atakuambia wao hawajaja bado.
Ukipiga simu unaambiwa wako kwenye mikutano kila mara.
Wanahitaji kutengeneza database ya watanzania watakao penda kuweka contact zao kuwa alert kwa mambo ya muhimu kama raisi akija USA etc. Zamani watasema ni expensive kusend barua kwa kila mtu lakini email ni free sasa sijui kwanini hawataki kufanya hivyo.
Sasa hivi walipokua wanarenew passiport za watu wote ndio ingekua muda mzuri wa kutengeneza contact database ya kila mtu anaye hold passiport ya tanzania lakini wameachia hiyo chance sidhani itakua rahisi tena kufanya hivyo...na hawajui hata mbongo mmoja yuko wapi.
They need a wake up call...kwa vile hata mtu mwenye sifa kama hizi sidhani kama wanafahamu alipo au kumfanya ashirikiane nao ili kusaidia mambo mengine au kurahisisha mambo mengine akitaka kupeleka misaada bongo...Sifa zote hizi lakini sidhani kuwa wanajua kuna wabongo wengi wanafanya mambo ya kujivunia kwa taifa letu lakini ubalozi ulivyojidistance na wananchi wake wala hauna habari....wak o watanzania wengi tu wanafanya mambo ya kufurahisha na kuipatia sifa nchi yetu lakini ubalozi hauna hata habari na hawafikiri kuw a hayo ni ya muhimu kwao...
nakubaliana na huyo hapo juu hili swala la passport sio dogo, unadhani hawa watu wanajali, maana wanazungusha sana sijui lengo ni nini, kuzungusha mara njoo kesho mara hiki hakijakamilika, ili mradi wanakukatisha tamaa ndio furaha yao, michuzi asante sana muungwana.
ReplyDeleteKwanza kabisa nimetokwa na machozi, na kupata moyo kwamba siku zote mungu usikia vilio vywa watoto wake na kuwapa wakombozi. Marekani walipewa Martin Luther king, india Mahatma Ghandhi, Afrika Kusini Nelson Mandela, Tanzania Nyerere, na sasa Tumepewa John Mashaka….
ReplyDeleteThere is no question, this is God sent
Ndugu zangu watanzania, ni swala la kutia moyo kuona kwamba kijana mdogo kiasi hichi anafanya mambo makubwa ya aina hii.
Mawaziri wengi Tanzania, kazi zao ni kuweka mileage feki na kuzidi kuinyonya nchi, ilhali kijana kama huyu anafanya kazi za maana kiasi hichi.
Nani anafaa pongezi zaidi ya huyu; Au Jack Pemba ndo tumpe sifa kwa kuja Bongo na uzushi? Huyu siamini ni MTANZANIA, nadhani huyu ni Mzungu mweusi.
Jonnie Mashaka, Hongera sana, tunakutakia kila la kheri urudi nyumbani uikombea Tanzania, hela za Wall-Street isikufanyehuisahau Tanzania, tunakuhitaji sana na Usomi wako.
Tungekuwa na vijana 10 wa Tanzania, kama Mashaka, Tungefika mbali sana kimaendeleo. Huyu akirudi, wizara atakoyopewa, msahau ufisadi kwa maana amesharidhika kabisa, hana sabau kuiba chochote. Niamini, huyu anakuja kuwa Rais Tanzania, there is doubt...
mICHUZI,
ReplyDeleteMIMI NI MOJA WA MA MISS, HUYU KAMA NINAMFAHAMU SANA, NIMEPOTEZA CONTACTS ZAKE, UNAWEZA KUNISAIDIA KUZIPATA? NASHIDA NAYE SANA. HE IS GOOD FRIEND OF ME, AND I LOV HIM TOO MCUH
Rais Kikwete
ReplyDeleteMchukue huyu jamaa, aje akusaidie, huyu ni asset kubwa sana kwa taifa letu. Hachana na wakina Chenge
Shukarni sana
Very inspiring story, I may sound gullible, but why did you have to pay $200 for the story??????????
ReplyDeleteI thought once the story posts in a magazine/newspaper it's kind of free???!!!!!!!!!?????? Or was it the pic? I'm puzzled...
Hivi hapa US tuna balozi? Maana mimi passport yangu bado ni yazamani na imexpire four years ago. Every time nikipiga simu yao nakutana na crazy msg.
ReplyDeleteI don't understand why Tanzanian government keep funding that sorry Embassy. I can't wait to see whoever works on that embassy.
Michuzi, please send our complains to top bosses in the government about their nightmare embassy.
Mdau wa US
Ni jana tu Forbes imekuja na list ya mabillionare duniani, namba ya pili imeshikwa na Carlos Slim Helu ambaye ni M-mexico aliyesema kuwa " He doesnt belive in charity to solve povert in the world", I think and I belive thats is very true , So My points is
ReplyDelete1. nachukia sana tena sana nikiona raisi wetu anaomba omba hela uku ulaya
2. Vijana kama hawa wanajitolea kuutangaza umaskini wetu kwa matajiri ili watusaidie
Please tena please naomba wa-aafrica hasa watanzania wenzangu tuamke tuache tabia ya omba omba tujitegemee....ila sivyo hamna maana ya uhuru ambao Nyerere aliupigania miaka 40 iliyopita.

sidhani kama kikwete anajua au kufanya research yeye si alikua foregin affairs jamani, awe anafanya uchunguzi, maana hata ile kesi wa afisa mizengo sijui iliishia wapi, michuzi asante sana unatusaidia kwa swala hili.
ReplyDeletewadau nampongeza huyu jamaa kwa upande mmoja kwa kujituma na kuonyesha moyo wa kujali ambao sio wote walio nao!
ReplyDeletekwa upande wa pili naungana na mheshimiwa aliye kosoa tabia ya kujiendekeza na kusubiri kusaidiwa.
nikweli waafrika sio tz tu, utadhani hii kitu ni genetical, wengi najua mtasema mazingira yetu yali tudumaza kwa kuokota matunda na kutopigwa na snow! wengine watasingizia historia ya utumwa.lakini ukweli unabaki palepale kuwa babuzetu walilala na hadi wakakutwa huko wamelala. nasisi tunaanza kufuata nyayo za kuwa maombaomba huku tukijisifia umaskiniwetu! hii inakera.
ukiuliza zaidi ya 90% ya wananchi individualy ana plan gani hata kwa familia yake ya watoto 5, jibu hana! lakini analalamika serikali haina plani ya kumuendeleza, wakati yeye hana. by this i mean hata kama atapata opportunity kwa kuwa plan hana basi hataweza kuitumia.
nacho sema hapa ni tuamke sasa tusiendekeze ujinga wa kujisifia umaskini na kuombaomba, hii inadhalilisha na kuondoa hadhi ya mwafrika. utadhani jamani hii kitu ni genetical??? maana waafrika karibia tunafanana tabia! hili nimekuja kuligundua baada ya kuishi na watu wa mataifa na mabara mbalimbali na kulinganisha tabia!
we need to change!!! otherwise tuamue ku-give up and wait to go to the heaven if we believe in heaven!!
To the publisher of this story!
ReplyDeleteIf you are not Mashaka himself then you must be someone with close affiliations to him. With my humble you have too much exagurate the story, its rubbish! Dont be such ridiculus to fool people that you have paid $200 to get a story of so called "Mashaka"...that doesnt make any sense to me neither will to any broad thinker! With modern technology, internet, local newspaper and radio..why do you to pay for a story of Mashaka?Anyway, the dude is doing fine so as to many Tanzanians living abroad. I have been work tireless to address issue of povety and ignorance in Scotland, in my normal life i have a good job and stable family, i dont find any big deal whatsoever to what i have done so far. So congrats to Mashaka and yourself for your little effort to help your own family, its your responsible anyway..however the story have been too emphasized and overhyped!
Nimeindika kiingereza ili michuzi asiiminyie..you not he is not rechable! haha ahaha
Mdau wa blog,
dogo Glasgow.
HUKO MAREKANI MMELIA SANA KUHUSU BALOZI. NAWASHAURI HIVI: MUOMBENI RAISI AWAPATIE BALOZI WETU KUTOKA HUKU SWEDEN AJE MAREKANI, MATATIZO YENU YOTE YATAISHA. UBALOZI WETU SWEDEN SAFI SANA, BALOZI YUKO MAKINI SANA NA NI MTU WA WATU SANA. HUYO WA MAREKANI ALETWE HUKU, TUTAMNYOOSHA, MAANA WATU HUKU NI EFFICIENT SANA NA UBABISHAJI WAMESHASAHAU..AJE HUKU SCANDNAVIA AJIFUNZE EFFICIENCY!
ReplyDeleteThe so called Mdau Dogo from Scotland, first of all; you need to go back to class, and learn your English before you can Insult Mr. Michuzi's ability to understand English.
ReplyDeleteYou are a looser, who does not want to see the best out of his people. This young man has done so much, more than many of us, rather than encouraging him, you are laying some very baseless accusations. Do research, go to the internet, with your same medicine TECHNOLOGY, you will find plenty of this young man's story
I do believe the story was paid for, due to copy rights reasons, as far as I know that is the only reason, to charge for that amount; Re-publication. Otherwise, you need to move from Scotland, urudi uchagani kuchuma kahawa
Jamaa nilikutana naye STAR-TV, he is a very simple guy, na ni mtu wa watu......... ila mademu ndo walimzingira sana
ReplyDeleteHongera sana, bwana, ila hawa watu wa porojo kibao ndo husiwajali kabisa. Wee endelea na hii kazi nzuri..... safi sana
michuzi kaka angu naomba tafadhali usinibanie hii comment, wanasema wa marekani aletwe sweden, watanzania hivi hamjui huyo wa marekani aliwahi kufanya kazi sweden, na ni ndugu na huyu wa hapa sweden, na alikotoka ndugu yake alikuwepo, wamefanya rotation, nyie mnataka rotation ngapi, hao ni ndugu ambao wote bado wako ubalozini, watanzania muwe mnafanya research. wana ndugu bado watawala.
ReplyDeletemichuzi asante sana sana, kweli unaweza kwenda kwa mambo ya passport, unazungushwa na kukatishwa tamaa, basi tu wivu na chuki, bila sababu ndio furaha yao kubwa, asante sana michuzi.
ReplyDeleteBarack Obama kila siku anavaa "expensive suits". Ila sijawahi kusikia CNN wala MSNBC wakizisifia suti zake. Hii inanifanya nifikirie mara mbili about the authenticity of this story.
ReplyDeleteHii story kaiandika mwenyewe Mashaka. He wants cheap publicity. Mind you, Cheap publicity is not the way of life.
Naungana na mdau wa hapo juu alielieleza hili, ingawa mmemshambulia kwamba ana kiingereza kibovu, wakati na nyie mnashindwa kutofautisha kati ya neno "loser" na looser"
Ni rahisi kuwadanganya watu wasio na exposure. Ila ni vigumu mno kudanganya critical thinkers na wengine wanaoelewa mambo.
We know a couple of guys who are doing wonders in the US. None of them has ever appeared in primitive newspapers like the one quoted in this story.
Kuhutubia mikutanoni na kusikilizwa na matajiri ni kitu kirahisi mno. Kinachohitajika ni kuwa-inform waandaaji wa shughuli na kama wakiona una jambo wanaloweza kulisikiliza (hata kama zikiwa ni chenga) they'll let you do it.
Mashaka, you are still young to tell all these lies. You still have a very long way to go. Watch out!!!!
Nakushauri... Mweleze kaka Michuzi ukweli kwamba ulikua unatafuta cheap publicity ambayo kuna jamaa wachache wameshakushtukia.
Have a great day!!!!
naungana na mdau hapo juu, na so called "dogo". Kuuza gari lako bovu ($6000) kwenda kusaidia wazazi wako kijijini you are not a hero, its part of your responsibilities. Watu wengi wana kazi za maana na wanasaidia charity nyingi na sijaona big deal yeyote ya kutafuta publicity for the cheap shots. Wa bongo acheni ushamba wa kurukia meli msizojua zinaenda wapi, ili mradi anazungumza kiingereza na kuhutubia as ''guest speaker''. I see the story everywhere in every swahili blog..some anonymous say hurey, may be mashaka himself, how can you tell? Although critical thinkers have always looked for tangible critics to lay critics on, which are no where to be found.Wacheni ujinga amkeni!
ReplyDeleteBon, TX
I dont buy at face value without critical analyse the real worthy of a story. May be the so called ''John Mashaka'' as an Investment banker would know this and can emphasize publicly what he has done worthy that applaude! To me this story seems to be a junky story, cheap shot, overvalued and overcooked to gain publicity, unless you convince me otherwise rather than criticise my grammer.The same tactics are being used by politicians and potential politians to make people believe they are something to the society from nothing. I would never carried away with those kind of speculations without critical analye the whole saga behind it.
ReplyDeleteThe story appeal to the readers to applause for the ''new hero in Bongo'', new Mahtma Gandh and so many fancy titles without emphasize what he has done to acclaim those hoorays
!...to me that was relatively a "cheap shot". I would love to know more than working for Wachovia, being invited for a speech at gala dinner and a hero for helping your peoples..because everybody does that collectively without such robust publicity.
Wabongo tuwe makini!
dogo, glasgow
Ukiangalia hizi comments zinazomsifia huyu jamaa utastukia kwamba the majority zina same flow. Ni rahisi kufahamu kwamba jamaa kajiposti humu kwemye michuzi blog, then akaanza kujichangia comments nyingi kujisifia... Eti expensive suits, eti mademu wanamfata... what the hell!!! Huu ni utoto by asilimia 100%. Mtu mwenye akili nzuri hawezi anza kujisifia kua alienda kituo cha televisheni halafu watoto wakaanza kumfatilia.
ReplyDeleteMichuzi, tunakuomba uwe unachuja majigambo na vitu vyenye kueleweka. Visivyofaa uwe unavibwaga. Nakubaliana na anon wa Sunday, March 9, 2008 8:38:00 AM EAT kwamba huyu jamaa yumo mbioni kutafuta "cheap publicity"
WATANZANIA MAJUU, TUACHENI MAJUNGU
ReplyDeleteBwana Michuzi, ukiniruhusu, kwanza kabisa ningependa kukutaharifu ya kwamba huyu kijana nilimuona live na kumhoji pale Maelezo habari. Nilimuuliza, kwamba vipi, unajisafishia njia ya ubunge nini?
Siyo lazima niwe Mbunge au mwanasiasa ndo niweze kuisaidia jamii yangu, wote tuna majukumu kuisaidia jamii, siyo lazime uwe tajiri, hii inatokana na ukweli kwamba amani haiwezi kuwepo, wengi wetu wakiishi katika hali tuliyonayo sasa hivi.Alinijibu bwana mashaka
Kwa mtazamo wangu, naona huyu kijana ni mfano wa kuigwa na hawa wanaojiita DIASPORA ambao ni watu wenye wivu kupita kiasi, badala ya kejeli zao na wivu, watuonyeshe ni nini wameifanyia Tanzania.
Huyu kijana hajajigamba hata kidogo, ila mwandishi wa Mwisho katika hii forum ameonyesha chuki kubwa sana kwa Bwana Mashaka, hebu atuletee hao watanzania waliopo Marekani wanaofanya makubwa. Hau wall-street ndo imewachanganya, fanya bidii na wewe ufike huko, badala ya kutangaza chuki.
Tunawahitaji watu wanaotuunganisha siyo kutugawa, hawa pengine baba zao waliiba mabillioni ili wapelekwe kusoma, sasa hivi wamegeukia ulevi na maisha imewachanganya kwa hiyo hawataki kumuona yeyote akiwashinda.
Mashaka, tunakuhitaji, wachanganye akili wajiangalie kwenye vioo ili watambue ni wapi wametoka na ni wapi wanakwenda.
Habari za Mashaka kusaidia katika hospitali ya shirati tumezisoma hapa bongo, Kuchimba maji katika kituo cha mayatima na katika kijiji chake tumezisoma pia.Wazungu wakualike ovyo hovyo kwenda kuongea chenga au Ushuzi, toka zako hapa usitudanganye !!! Mbona wewe haujaalikwa?
Tovuti inatupa habari zingine ambazo hatuzijui, kwa hiyo kwa upande wangu, Pongezi sana bwana mashaka, usiwajali hawa wanachuki, wakirudi makwao waongee kidhungu na bibi zao.......... ndo maendeleo yao kutoka majuu
Watanzania, tuamke, watazameni wenzeti wakenya, Redio Zetu ni wao, ofisi nyingi ni wao, Lazima tuwapongeze wawakilishi wetu wachache, hasa sehemu nyeti kama Wall-Street
Steven Mlawa
Bwana steven mlawa kama ni kweli, basi wewe inaonyesh utkuwa ni mwandishi wa magazeti ya udaku, ambao mnapewa hela kidogo muandike habari. mimi nipo bongo na nimefuatilia habari z huyu jamaa sioni ni kitu gani amefnya cha ajabu mpaka kuwaita waandishi wa habari kusema amechimba kisima na kupeleka pamba hospitali. hivyo ni vitu vya kawaida sana, hata mamiss wetu wanafanya kila siku na hawjitngai hivyo. Naona hao wadau wanauliza ni kitu gani cha msingi wana points. Tunakubali ujinga ndio sababu tunauza kazi kwa wakenya, ni wavivu wa kufikiri na wepesi wa kusahau.
ReplyDeleteAsante kaka michuzi kwa kazi nzuri,
Ali baba, k'koo, dezim.
Kwenda kwenye mikutano ya watu na kuomba pesa ndio kunahesabika kama ndio kufanya makubwa majuu? Oh My God! Mungu ibariki Tanzania.

Nyie watu wajinga sana, mkichoka kusafisha vyoo vya wazungu mrudi kwetu, bado tutawakaribisha kwa maana ni watoto TZ Bongolandi! ila hachani mabo ya kuvurundana. Jua linatupiga sana ila bado tupo tunapiga mzigo kariakoo, na hatuwachukii wenzetu wanaojaribu hata na hizo hela zao kidogo kutusaidia

Kwa kweli hii blog ya michuzi ni kama kioo amabacho kinaanika mawazo ya watanzania wengi walioko nje. Ukiangalia comment nyingi za humu ndani zimejaa chuki na wivu usiokuwa na maana. Watu hawapendi kuona mwenzao kapiga hatua ya kimaisha na kufanya kitu positive. Kuweni na wivu wa maendeleo mtafanikiwa sana na kuleta positive impact kwenye society. Lakini kama mkiwa na wivu mbaya na chuki itakua affect wewe mwenyewe. Ukiangalia watu wengi ambao wametoa comment utakuta toka wamefika ulaya hawajafanya kitu cha maana. Wengi wako huko miaka 15 na waliondoka huku tanzania kuja kupata elimu huko nje. lakini wamesahau ni kitu gani kiliwaleta huko na kujiingiza katika masuala ya kipumbabvu na mashindano yasiyokuwa na msingi wowote. Kazeni buti na kurudi shule na acheni majungu yasiyokuwa na maana.
ReplyDeleteWala vumbi, hao jamaa walioeleza apo juu wanawasaidia kuwaelewesha jinsi mlivyo rahisi kupigwa fixi ila nyie mnasema wanamwonea wivu huyu mshkaji. Haya basi, endeleeni kudanganywa basi na muendelee kusaini mi-buzwagi, mi-kiwira na kadhalika. Mnafunguliwa macho yenu muelewe jinsi mnavyodanganywa kirahisi na watu dizaini ya Mashaka nyie hamkubali. Endeleeeni kupigwa vumbi forever.

Mheshimiwa Michuzi, mwaka huu ndo umetoa mpya! Vijana wa Kibongo wanahitajii hii injini kubwa imewasha moto ambao utawaamsha vijana wetu wanaojifanya wako majuu SAFI Sana
ReplyDeleteImekuwa kichekesho sana hata wanamuita Mlinzi wa Supermarket
SAFI sana, vijana waone machungu!!
Kwa wale wasiojua Wall-Street, ni sehemu nyeti sana. Weusi wachache sana, ni sehemu ya nguvu ya mzungu, siyo rahisi huyu kaka kuingia huko. Ni millionaires
ReplyDeleteMabenki Makubwa ya Wall-Street Wachovia, Bank of America, Merril-Lynch, Goldman Sachs yanachukua top of the line brains kuingia huko, hata wanasheria wengi uacha kazi zao kuingia Wall-Street, kwa hiyo siyo rahisi hasa kwa Mtanzania kuingia huko.
Nina MBA, pHD, nimeshindwa kuingia huko itakuwa sembuse huyu, hawezi kupata kazi Wachovia. Wachovia ndio ni namba tatu kwenye Investment Banking na mara nyingi uchague wanaofanya kazi kwenye investment bank toka vyuo vikuu moja kwa moja, handpicked.
Yeye anaingia huko kama nani, mimi namfahamu sana, ni muhudu kwenye BAR, pale Dallas TEXAS amekuja marekani 2006 sasa hiyo wall-street amengiaje

Michuzi,
ReplyDeleteUkiangalia dictionary, neno "Wall Street" linamaanisha collective name for the financial and investment community, which includes stock exchanges and large banks, brokerages, securities and underwriting firms, and big businesses. Wachovia anakofanya kazi ndugu Mashaka nako kumo included kwenye definition hii.
Mimi pia niko US. Nafanya kazi Bank of America. Sifanyi kazi ya ki-white collar, ila najipatia mahitaji ya maisha pamoja na kutuma pesa za kusaidia ndugu zangu nyumbani Tanzania. Kulingana na hiyo definition na mimi pia naweza kujigamba kwa wenzangu kwamba nafanya kazi "Wall Street", kama Mashaka alivyodai. Au uongo?
Mimi naona hapa Mashaka anajaribu kuwaingiza mjini watu wa bongo wasioelewa mambo yanakwendaje. Kama wengi walivyosema hapo juu, Mimi nafikiri huyu dogo angepunguza kujikwaza kwani hauendani kabisa na umri wake. Yes, Kikwete anasomaga hii blog.. Ila nafikiri michango ya watu walioiweka kwenye topic hii itakua imemfungua macho na Rais Kikwete pia.
Kuna wa-TZ wengi wameshikilia nyadhifa kuu kwenye ma-universities, wengine ni ma-engineer huko NASA. Watu wa dizaini izo wala hawaendi "Charlotte Observer" kupublish story kwamba wameuza vigari vyao vya dola 6000 ili kusaidia watu nyumbani.
Wanaomfahamu huyu dogo inabidi wamkalishe chini na kumweleza kwamba hii sio njia nzuri ya kujitangaza, kwani ukikosea step tu unakua umejimaliza mwenyewe, kama alivyofanya kwenye suala hili.
Watanzania wenzangu, the only problem we are facing, an which is mostly contributing to the downhill trend of our country ni Wivu.
ReplyDeleteI hope you guys can read and understand the contents of this story.All you are rebuffing is the ACT of the young man being written in the paper which should not be the case. He should have given the help and shut up!
What you are failing to analyse or understand is the fact that, some of these meetings do have media. When someone is adressing they are taking a story, and publishes it; if that was the case, what the deal, or whats is the alternative you have?
Wengine wanasema ni MLINZI wa Supermarket, yeah? basi huo ulinzi wake unalipa sana, na sisi watanzania tunavutiwa sana kwa kuwaona vijana wetu walinzi wanavyoijali nchi yetu, sasa wewe White collar in Bank of america what have you done for your country?
In my opinion, even if this guy would have helped a single child with $100 for food, it was going to be 1000 times better that your words full of hate.
Mimi Naishi Arizona for the past 17 years, natamani sana kurudi Tanzania na kusaidia, lakini hali ya uchumu imekuwa ngumu siwezi, hata nauli ya kurudi inanishina kupata, nimeenda shule and now teaching at a local community college, however with 4 kids to support, I cant simply afford helping anybody in Tanzania
Sasa wewe Bank of america, au NASA, What are your plans for Tanzania, kama siyo kununua kila ya nguo na tamaa za magari? Gari lake bovu la $6000 limesaiia watu wake angalau !!!! Give us your alternative
Ikiwa kuna mtu hata mmoja wa kujinyima kutoa kila kidogo awezalo kuisaidia nchi yetu, lazima tumpe hongera
ReplyDeleteWangapi wenye mabillioni, na tena wenye nafasi nyeti wanaozidi kuinyonya tanzania bila kujali raia wa kawaida?
Vijana nadhani hii ni chnagamoto kubwa sana kwetu....Ni lazima tuyatazame mambo kwa undani kabla ya kufungua vinywa vyetu in criticism " I guess this is human nature"
I am sure you are also going to sell your FERARI and help your MASAKI friends and relatives, who cannot afford to pay for their Range-Rovers, hiyo ndo Tanzania yetu
Masikini toka vijijini mwanza na bukoba endeleeni kuchangia kidogo kidogo, mwishoe juhudi zenu zitaonekana

ReplyDeleteHawa vitoto vya matajiri ndo vingi vinaingia humu kuchafua hii blog. Wanaandika ushuzi baada ya kushindwa maisha majuu. Hawataki kumuona mtu anawashinda. Wakimuona masikini anakuja juu, haya, sijui mlinzi, sijui mwizi, Zumbafu zenu wezi,walevi.Afadhali tunaye masikini mwenzetu anayetuwakilisha kuomba misaada siyo ile baba zenu wanaziiba. Heri raia moja moja waombe misaada siyo ile ya SIRIKALI za BoT na Richmond
Vumilia kwani taratibu nchi nzima itakuwa nyuma yako....Bank of America mavi,huyu wamemuita Investment Banker, hayo yako yametokea wapi? Pelekini wivu zenu kijijini mkalime, mmetuchosha na madongo. Bongo hatunywi maji, ulaya ndo usiombe, kilichobaki ni kuanza kuwa......ili mkome adabu. Huu ni mwaka wa walalahoi, huyu ni mlalahoi mwenzetu siyo milevi nyinyi.Endeleeni kunywa na kustarehe, bongo mtarudi kwenye majeneza au ticket za one-way....Mashaka mungu akubariki
This gentleman has stretched his story to get publicity. A representative of shirati Hospital states that John Mashaka did come to Shirati Hospital. he came to pay the hospital bill of his sister in law. While there he ask if he could help pay for any hospital costs for children. They located 5 children who reported a need to pay the hospital bill and 1 mother who needed money to go home by bus. John Mashaka paid the bill in full which came to $73. There is a Safina orphange in shirati but there are no slums and children stay in homes and are supported by material aid from Safina organization.
ReplyDeleteAlso no child has been turned away for basic treatment at Shirati Hospital. Elective surgery does require a prepayment of part of the bill.
John may have some good intentions but he is stretching the truth for money that will end up in his pocket.

I think the story is being read too much by too many people.I think this disqualifies the last comment. So is this guy from the hospital?
I guess Wall-street people need money too
