INSPIRATIONAL ARTICLE FROM MENSA OTABIL'S FACEBOOK PROFILE

SHE TOOK IT BY FORCE - Mensa Otabil

When she heard about Jesus, she came behind Him in the crowd and touched His garment. Mark 5: 27

The traditions of this woman's society required a woman with an issue of blood to stay indoors because she was 'unclean'. After waiting for twelve years and hiding in the shadows, she probably said to herself, 'enough is enough. I am tired of pain and shame.' She set her own agenda for change and began a process that totally transformed her life. But her journey of change was not an easy one. She had to overcome some stumbling blocks.

Her journey started from behind the crowd. She was behind but she was not deterred by her placement. She was confronted with a crowd of people who were all trying to get to the same Jesus she wanted to get to. Although there were many in contention with her, she was not discouraged. She came from behind and pressed through the rough and tumbling mob surrounding Jesus although she was feeble in strength. She did not make excuses nor gave herself any respite.

When she finally got to Jesus, she reached out and executed her agenda. She put her faith into action. She reached out and touched the hem of Jesus' garment. That is faith in action.

She overcame:
1. Long-term disappointment

2. Physical weakness 

3. Personal embarrassment

4. Society's rejection

5. Physical barriers: the crowd of people.

You can also reach out in faith and set a new agenda for your life if you press on without wavering.

Prayer: Help me, Lord, to press through all obstacles until I have touched Your power.

Scriptural Reading: Mark 5: 21-43

"SHARE" and make your declarations.

BEYOND THE HORIZON – by Azgard Steven

Once upon a time, the world was full of only two people, the entire

planet full of two people. I try to imagine, there had been plenty
than the human needs. The only difference it makes is that, everything
was natural, provided by nature; no air conditions, sofa sets and
Toyota V8. As time went on, people multiplied and today we strive and
struggle to acquire the limited resources; the demand of almost
everything seems to be greater than its supply. The world has several
times declared food shortage, fuel shortage, clean water shortage,
clean air shortage, land shortage, to mention few. Scientists are
exploring if a room can be found outside planet to damp the excess
population. Life is becoming a struggle for the fittest, to refer
philosophers.
But the question remains, is it real true that we have shortage of
everything? Is it true that food cannot be abundantly supplied, water,
air? Is it real true that the planet is at optimum of its capacity for
even survival? This is the paradox in the midst of synonymous
questions.
Talking of Africa, specifically Tanzania, are these questions
answerable? In Dar es Salaam, it takes several millions to get a piece
of land while in Makete-Iringa it takes just several thousands to get
the same piece of land, for the same purpose. Seven major rivers pour
their water into Indian Ocean day and night, 24 hours a day, seven
days a week; but Dar es Salaam, Dodoma and some parts of Kilimanjaro,
suffers water shortage to the extent that water is becoming amongst
scarce commodities (totally against water-diamond paradox). It takes
several ten millions to build a home in Arusha, but it takes several
millions to build the same home in Lushoto-Tanga. People are sleeping
outside others’ homes and business premises in Dar es Salaam while
there is plenty land to build a hut in Lushoto.
Economics has answers to all these scenarios; I have no doubt of that
because I have studied and understood it all. But my concern is, why
should that be? Why should be existing problems in both rural and
urban? While rural suffers of power shortage but full of water supply,
the urban suffers water supply shortage but full of power supply!
While urban suffers land shortage but enjoys transport access, the
rural suffers transport access but enjoys plenty supply of arable
land! This is paradox easy to answer by economics principles but hard
to depict in reality.
Sincerely speaking, there are problems in both rural and urban. There
is luxury in both rural and urban. The only difference is, they are
differentiated in terms of levels, nature and approach. If that is so,
then there are businesses opportunities in both rural and urban; that
mean someone can invest in rural and get returns while the other
invest in urban and get returns as well.
The very shocking shortage that the country is provokingly facing
right now, and it will sooner get worse, is employments shortage,
simply put unemployment. A good number of graduates is released every
year, meanwhile there is irrelevant growth in number of employment
opportunities in formal sector. Frankly speaking, employment shortage
may be greater than food shortage, water shortage, and power shortage;
and this may have severe consequences than any shortage ever happened.
Currently, it is normal to interview 1,000 applicants for a single
post needing 10 people. So far the Post System is currently doing
business because of one post announced by one small firm.
The question should be, is it real true that there is no employments?
If the answer is yes that means there are limited or no problems in
the society hence we have a perfect society. This is not true, our
society has many problems than the good it has; that is to say there
are many potential employments than what we currently have. That is to
say, the provoking unemployment shortage about to multiply can be
solved.
I hope it is true that the available employments are the solutions to
problems we are currently experiencing. There are currently have
doctors because there are patients; we have teachers because there are
children, there are accountants because we have financial
transactions, we have auditors because there are thieves in
organizations, there are civil engineers because we have house and
infrastructure constructions, there are marketers because we have
needs to be satisfied, etc. Hence there are vast problems in the
society that need people, that is to say there are vast employment
opportunities in the society.
Is it not true that the unemployed army constitute of accountants,
teachers, marketers, medical doctors, project planners, lawyers and
psychologists? Don’t we have such shortages in the society? The truth
is, the unemployed army constitutes of such people and the society
suffers such a shortage.
The only and biggest problem remain, who is to link between the
society’s problems and problem-solvers at the expense of payments!
Because it is not true that unemployed accountant do not want to be an
accountant, unemployed lawyer do not want to be a lawyer, unemployed
teacher do not want to be a teacher, and unemployed marketer do not
want to be a marketer. It is totally not true, every unemployed
somebody wants to be an employed somebody.
The approach to solve this problem is categorized into two, the
Aggregate Approach and the Individual Approach. The Aggregate Approach
is when the government, parastatals or private organization takes a
responsibility to define society’s problems and hire the
problem-solvers at the expense of a pay. Meanwhile The Individual
Approach is when the problem-solver takes a step to define a society’s
problem and offer a solution to it at a profit/gain.
Now, the fact that unemployment will remain a problem is defined by
the fact that either or both of the two approaches have not been in
effect. At the end of the day unemployment should not add to problems
that the society already has. I admire the fact that the system itself
does not create its people to take the individual approach to solving
the society’s problems at gain, but it should not be an excuse because
there is still a room to learn on how to go about. As I have said
before, the aggregate approach is when a government, parastatals or
private sector builds a link between society’s problems and
problems-solvers at the expense of a pay. Mind you, majority of these
private sectors ever began by taking an individual approach. Hence
behind individual approach is entrepreneurship.
Following the nature of our society, some of us should take this
approach; I believe there is ability but just willingness and
confidence. Those who tried it ended up succeed, I have examples. Less
educated people are solving society’s problems, and they gain from it;
retired and old people are doing the same and enjoy their gains; I
believe a fresh graduate can take the same move and excel. Don’t ask
me about capital, just get out of such a box of thinking of million to
thinking of hundred thousand; am sure even a hundred thousand does
something and multiplies.
It is then obvious that your family will be proud to hear you are
employed at ABC Company, but I am also sure that they are not happy
that you are not currently employed. I know that you real need a
reward to what you have constantly studied in more than 17 years, you
need a fast and good pay for it. Unfortunately going to individual
approach will mean, “Hey, you need some more time for good pay”, but
off course this is the way it works in this approach, in long-run it
gives more than a good pay.
Hence, it is and it will never be an easy task to go for individual
approach, but it is the move to take for the good of the country, but
also for your own good. If you feel courageous about this, if you feel
desperate, if you feel discontented and if you feel like doing
something like building a business venture; don’t hesitate, do it. A
try was always a good attempt except to an adolescent. So give it a
try and invest in it, invest your time and strength, invest your
skills and make a smart move. You may undergo a hard way, but don’t
give up; I can allow you to change a course of action but I don’t
allow you to give up!
Just to excite you, this will determine at what side of the table you
will sit during an interview. If you real need to live a fabulous life
at early age, try this. Don’t do it to get your daily bread, do it to
build a business empire, that you can employ your fellows. Remember,
what we call employment today was ever called slavery. An employee and
a slave have the same meaning, working for someone; the only
difference they make is that one is legitimate while the other was
illegitimate. Even a slave in Kenya used to stay at his own home!

POOR CHIMPANZEE – by Azgard Steven

A chimpanzee is sitting on the tree looking downwards. Beside the

tree is a house, a good house in such. The house is made of timber and
surrounded with flowers. These flowers are watered everyday to make
them shine, and then there is a playground at the front of the house.
This chimpanzee use to sit on this tree every evening watching the
house from above.
He looks when the woman in the house goes into the kitchen and makes
fire. He looks as she cooks what he uses to eat without cooking. Later
that day the other creatures in the house, the same specie to this
woman use to sit across one big room he heard them calling it
sitting-room. They use to watch to something looking like a window but
showing other creatures and features at the other side. A chimpanzee
is wondering day after day what is happening in this house. These
creatures are covered by some things a chimpanzee never knew until he
heard they call them clothes. What are they covering, he keeps asking
himself. May be it is because of cold, he concludes.
Some mornings a male creature comes out of the house having a rope on
the chest, hanging from the neck. What is it for, chimpanzee asks
himself without specific answers. This male creature comes out of the
house in the morning and comes back in the evening in daily basis
except some few days. Where is he going every day anyway? That is
another tough question to Mr. Chimpanzee. May be he goes for food,
maybe he is the keeper of the family, he concludes. But where does he
get the food, where are his games? That is another big question to
chimpanzee and he finds no answer to that.
One morning in those days this fellow male creature is at home, a
chimpanzee saw him talking to something in his hand. At the beginning
chimpanzee wanted to assume that these creatures use to talk alone,
but later he noticed that he has something in his hand and he has to
press it on his ear before talking. He presses some things on top of
it, wait for a while and press the device on the ear and start talking
in discrete fashion. What is he exactly doing? That is another brand
new question to Mr. Chimpanzee and unfortunately he failed to figure
it out. Some days later a chimpanzee use to see a female creature in
the house using the same style with a similar device. She presses on
top of it, wait for a while, put it on one of her ear and start
talking. Something is happening here, says chimpanzee and get onto the
top branch of the tree.
The male and female creatures get off the house direct into the
playground and start playing. They are happy going after one round
thing, putting it into one hole placed on top of a post. They seem
fighting to get it, it is like everyone wants it but in a scramble
fashion. This is crazy, can’t they find another one so that they don’t
keep running at one thing and finally stop their scramble. Perhaps
that makes them happy, he thinks. Whatever happens with these
creatures is strange after all, may be that is what they are, strange
creatures. Living in a huge cage they call it house, running with a
monster they call it a car, burning their food they call it cooking,
covering themselves up they call it dressing, eating each other’s
mouth soon the male creature is back they call it kissing, you can
mention a lot strange with them.
Poor chimpanzee! A tough research, isn’t it? Human beings are doing a
lot of researches, spending a lot of taxpayers’ money in the name of
research to explore the world. They explore and come out with a lot
what seems to be strange; how ants build their tents, how bees make
honey, what makes bats both animals and birds at the same time, why
lions don’t eat grasses, you can mention them. Have you ever thought
what animals think the wonders of human beings? Have you ever thought
what they come up with, how they handle it? Have you ever thought what
human beings will do to their world?
May be they think a human being is God, or may be a human being is
Devil, who knows! May be they think one day a human being will crash
the world into pieces, may be they think the end is very near, who
knows. Or perhaps antelopes think one day human being will eliminate
their everyday threat, lions.
You may not see how wonderful a human being is unless you look from
another angle. You just see it normal a human being living in the
house, driving a car, talking to a phone and to a very specific person
amongst thousands of millions, playing cards, playing football at
business level, you mention them. You may not see the wonders of it by
looking it from a human eye; you may not see it right.
Either, you may not see new possibilities, possibilities greater than
these by wondering how impossible it is; what will be beyond a
computer, what will be beyond worldwide web, what will be beyond
information systems. After all what was beyond a typewriter in 1880s!
A new perspective needs a fresh eye, it needs a new look. There are a
lot more we didn’t do yet I believe, there are more to be done and I
pray they don’t be destructive.

INSECURITY THREAT IN TANZANIA - By Azgard Steven

Insecurity is the beginning of governments in the world. The reason

why people decided to put their fellows at their fronts is to give
them a duty to ensure their security. If the government does not
ensure security to its citizens, then the primary purpose is missed.
But the question is, what is the people’s priority during election?
What is the most used term in campaigns? If you use to attend
campaigns I hope you know what it is but if you don’t let me just tell
you, development!
I don’t challenge people’s focus on development, even me I need
development; but development without security is corruption. I need
people to develop, I need a leader with development mentality, but if
you visit my To-Do list, security is priority one.
There is high rate of insecurity in Africa than any other continent in
the world despite the fact that Africans is the race with high degree
of hospitality all over the world. After all, what is insecurity? If I
were to define the term I would say, insecurity is the state of
vulnerability to danger, is the situation where one is vulnerable to
danger.
Despite the fact that whites are the most hostile race in the world,
there is a highest degree of security in their countries than any
other place in the planet. This is odd, it is a paradox for real. The
continents with the most hostile races in the world are with highest
degree of security, while the continent of high hospitality is with
the highest degree of insecurity! If I have to discuss this I would
say may be the hostile race posed a threat to security and hence the
authority made it priority one. May be the race with high hospitality
never think of threat of insecurity and all over sudden these people
of high hospitality are now turning into hostile.
Forget the politics, but we have a problem here, and we have to deal
with it. Insecurity in Africa is devastating. Someone must have a
grilled door and windows, someone must be at home before it is too
late, someone must be very aware of his cell phone while in street,
someone must choose what to say before he is eliminated or threatened.
This is not Africa; this is not Tanzania we know of. The Tanzanians we
know of are relatives to one another, Tanzanians we know of are one
family. The language of Tanzanians is ‘love your neighbour as you love
yourself;’ this has been our language since then until few days ago.
Something is wrong somewhere, something is not right and someone is
doing nothing.
The fact that we are now experiencing insecurity is obvious, the fact
that our security is compromised is very clear ahead. Let me give few
examples of the matter. Cases that people are robbed, especially in
urban, have become a common phenomenon now. People’s properties are at
stake now; everyday someone’s home is attacked, someone’s car is
hijacked, someone’s phone is grabbed, someone’s money is forcefully
taken off the pocket, you can mention.
Cases that a certain business entity is hijacked are obvious now;
banks are robbed every day, gas stations are attacked every night,
retail shops are ambushed, people’s homes are hijacked, you can
mention.
Recently more shocking events have taken place in Tanzanian soil,
events we never thought they will happen here, events we only watched
in the news. We have witnessed a Medical Doctor, Dr. Ulimboka, being
crucified alive, from nowhere someone can be kidnapped in Tanzanian
soil. We never expected this to happen, but it has happened and the
history is written. Either, we have vividly experienced homicide, the
killing of a reporter, the late Mr. Mwangosi, again in Tanzanian soil.
We were shocked, we didn’t believe it because we never thought of it
to happen, especially to us. In 2007, the Newspaper editor, Said
Kubenea, was acidified and we thought it was just an accident, but it
happened. Just recently, Muslims have destroyed, attacked and burned
their fellow christians' worshiping places
Today, it is not safe out there, there is no one to trust. People are
full of fear, who will stand at their front and assure their safety,
their security. They are full of fear, they have no even a leap of
faith. They are waiting to see what is to happen next, they are
nowhere secure. They don’t trust each other, they don’t trust their
own environment, and worse enough they don’t trust their government;
they don’t trust those whom people’s security is their responsibility,
the police force. This is not good at all, this is far more ahead to
vulnerability; people are vulnerable and there is no one to ensure
their safety.
I think we have to readjust our priorities, I think we have to work on
insecurity threat. Yes we need development but I think our biggest
problem today is insecurity, we deal with that first. We have to
invest in the security of our people; we have to ensure they are safe
and that they are confident with their safety. Citizens have their
part in this, but the government is the key player here, no excuse to
this. The government must protect its people because that is the
reason number one to its existence. The reason why people are willing
to die is the lack of confidence to their government, and that is the
worst state to happen. Security cameras, street lights, police patrol,
police-citizen communication, reporting channel, emergence
infrastructure and law enforcement endowment should be priority. If
the government become serious than it is to ensure security, citizens’
confidence will top-up and we will have a secure society than it is
today. Insecurity is increasing dramatically, someone must take
decisive actions.
