The Moral Of This Blog



When disaster hits, especially when the head of the family, the father and bread winner passes away, many African families go through a point of no return and excruciating pain of not only loosing the loved one, but also the high possibility of family members to become their passive and or active predators. Mostly, young families get the severe end of the outdated African tribal culture and traditions regarding family succession. It is sad but the raw fact of life for people from Africa. You are all welcome to use this blog as an open forum and the platform to discuss issues, possible solutions and alternative of problems that are related to the issues raised by this blog. Life is faith and good faith makes a good life, and vice-versa.

Let this “Blog” be a modern Case-Study that can help the vulnerable (women, widows, children, stigmatized/stereotyped, sick, and disabled) against African society's predictors who prey on the weak and vulnerable. Especially this case study to emphasize on putting a magnifying mirror to the close-by relatives and people with authority, who are trusted to care for and supervise rights of the vulnerable people by just not getting a blank check from the family, community and society at large without a check and balance system.

Too often and too many people have abused the blank-check given to them as overseers of the weak and vulnerable families. They only snatch whatever small is left for these vulnerable families and leave the families to fend for themselves. Society is to push these necessary changes because they are human rights. If Tanzania wants to join the civilized world, it has to assure its people the right to be safe from predators who prey the vulnerable, especially a unique predator like a trusted fellow family member who can be considered a leader and or role model of families. These people need to be vetted and tested first because their acts have got far reaching effects than families, community and society could imagine.

  1. Well said and thought through. Let technology lift up Africa from its darkness and Africans to see the sun-shine. The World's spot-lights have ignored Africa for so long. My be heros like author of this Blog can utilize technology and incentivize change that has lasting legacy to Africa. That's the beauty of Diasporah, to effect change in their native countries, of which Africa needs greatly.

  2. We all got traditions, rooted from Adam and Eve. Can we sacrifice our first born to gods like Abraham attempted to or the way his ancestors did? No way, it will be a crime.

    Therefore, traditions and culture get outdated. In this case, some of the Chagga traditions and culture values need to go. They foster criminal activity i.e. oppressing the widows, women, young, elderly, disabled and the vulnerable. It us common sense and open minded advanced technological era. This cannot be let to reoccur again.

Thank you for visiting us🙏🏽. Feel free, be happy, do good/right things & remember that sky is not the limit, but your eyes, dogma & imagination/mind are the only limit. My father, Sr. used to say that the mind is the most powerful resource/thing a human being can ever have; use it wisely. It is similar to a common saying that the mind is a terrible thing to waste.
