RE: From me Florentina Balthazar Masawe



(Today April 4th 2015, As forwarded to me by my lovely Aintie). 
Happy Easter to You All Friends of God
May I write a few words to you the children of God and my relatives

Dear  relatives shortly the situation is this. Pendo equal to the loved one and eldest  son to my beloved brother Valerian Balthazar Masawe has always been egoistic from the time I came to know him as eldest son to Valerian. The same with
his mother Felicia Mushi Valerian. 
When Felicia Mushi got married to my brother Valerian Balthazar  Masawe things were not the same for us there. But I
came stayed at home during my holidays and went back where I lived.
Very early my father divided his farm to his boy children.
John Balthazar Masao was given Mamboleo and two small farms  among these farms I remember Kiteleli. He was very satisfied.
Leoni Masumbuko B Masao was given a farm on the other side of Mwasi. Leoni had obtained a little bigger farm  in Maili Sita. Leoni desided to sell the farm in Mwasi and he and his new family came to settle on the other of th town called as
above.
 Leoni Balthazar Masawe  was allocated the other side of the road where we lived. 
My youngest brother Krisostomi who was often sick should own the area in the middle  which Valerians family is so interested in. John was first interested to own it but my mother discouriged him and said probable if you had not sold those two areas you got. Instead of keeping them he went and sold them and never gave her a single sent.
Now coming back to this middle  plot. In l980 my husband Koge Nilsson and I brought water to the village. His collegues said that if money was left this should go to build a water tank. Unfortunately no money was left. It should be understood that I paid for airtickets Umea Kia to make water project and building and renovating of Mnini Primary which became 
Government Secondary School. My parents decided to give me and my husband the place called Pattern to me and my 
family. My father died the following year 1981. 

There was no money left to build the tank so my family decided to contribute money to complete this project. 

Valerian my brother and his family was complaining that the money I was sending to my parents did not reach them. 
I dont remember which year Valerian moved back to the village. What I remember very well is that he hade built his house on the plot my father gave him on other side of the road. My father had started a little shop there. Valerian was also using this house to stay with his girl friend. When he got married to Felicia Mushi I dont know what came into there mind they deserted this house moved into the room which my father had added  into the house I build for my parents. and deserted his own house on the other side of the road. I began to build this house for my parents. I built a modern sleeping room,and a large sitting, a kitchen, a toilet and a bathroom. Every time I came home on holidays I did some improvement while Valerian and his family were allowing their own house to fall apart.

When my father 1981 my mother declared that I should not build my house on the end of my brothers. One day my mother annonced that I should not build my house on the feet of my brothers so she declared that I shall build my house above theirs which is called Patten. Marselian s wife cuptired a good a good area of the area my parents had given to me and my family the area south of my parents. I decide to open a case in the Mnini varfor my mother said by the way I shall give this plot above the house.

  1. Sasa Kweli Shangazi mtu uandike vitu vya kiajabu namna hii na kwenda kuanza kupeleka mambo ya nyumbani huko kijijini na kwenye kata, utapata heshima kweli??

    Shangazi mtu hapa anakua kama mtoto mdogo. Yeye ndio angetakiwa kuwa mtu mzima na kutafuta suluhu ya haya mambo katika ngazi ya familia. Nasoma haya mawasiliano yake, hata ningekua mimi ndo Shangazi yangu anafanya hivi nyumbani kwangu, ningemfukuzia mbali aende zake kwa Mume wake aliko olewa maana huko ndiko kuna haki zake.

    Huyu mama anachafua mji. Sijui wana ukoo wengine wamekubwa na bumbu wazi au vipi. Hakuna wanaume kwenye huu ukoo? Jamani!!

  2. Unajua Auntie Florentuina na Cousin Berdani, jinsi ninyi mulivyopeleka haya mambo kwenye ngazi za serkali/umma na bado munavyodhania kuwa kuendeleza uongo wenu kuwa tumewatukana, sisi Wana Valerian ni wabaya kweni na kudharau kuwa muliyoyafanya na munayoyafanya ndio yametufikisha hapa tulipo ni dhahiri kabisaa kuwa nia yenu kwetu sio nzuri na sidhani kama kuna ubaya tukaanika hapa juani tofauti zetu maana mumenufaika sana kwa haya mambo kuwa kichinichini na kuamuliwa kinafiki kwa miaka mingi sana.

    Kumbuka tulikua na Bibi, hatukusikia akirudi kwa akina Nyaki kudai nyumbani kwa Baba yake kuwa ni kwake. Tuna Mama na hatujaona akienda kudai Marangu kwa Babu zetu kuwa ni kwakwe. Naye alipewa ardhi pia akakataa-na ilikua busara sana, musidhanie munajua kila kitu kuhusu sisi. Tuna mashangazi lukuki hatujasikia wakija kudai nyumbani kwa ma Uncle zetu kuwa ni kwao.

    Tusisikie kisingizio vya baadhi ya watu eti tukuvumilie unazeeka vibaya au Wewe Ni Mwana Mphu-Shangazi. Hatutaki kuamua hili suala la kinafiki tena. Na yeyote atakayesema hivyo kwetu tunamchukulia kama mnafiki mkubwa sana. Sio ukweli na hakuna uthibisho wa hata moja katika dai hili la wewe kuzeeka vibaya. Matendo na maneno yako yana dhamira na tumeshaiona na kuitambua vizuri sana.

    Hujafikia hata Umri wa Babu akiwa hai, na hujafikia hata nusura ya Bibi kuwa Hai, wote wazazi wako. Hata mmoja wao hawakufanya hata asilimia moja ya haya unayofanya.

    Swali: Je, na Cousin Bernadin anazeeka vibaya?????? Hebu tuelezeni Bernadin anavuozeeka vibaya pia. Tunawajua wote tangu tukiwa vichanga na hatuoni badiliko hata moja.

    Tofauti ni kwamba tangu mulipoyapeleka haya kwenye umma, ndio tumefunguka na kuamua kuyaweka yote upenuni.

    Kila mtu akae kwake. Kila mtu ahangaike na yake. Kama munadahi munaweza kuishi maisha ya dakika, saa, siku, wiki, mwezi au mwaka uliopita, endeleeni kujidanganya. Hatutarudi tulikotoka na hakuna wa kutulazimisha.

    Mungu awabariki katika harakati zenu hizo.

  3. We hear all your rambling that you are saying we are dis-respective to you. We wonder why?

    Complaining about what we say in the public answering your frontier to the local government trying to oust our mom and us from our rightful home is changing us at all. We rather wonder is taking this vial matter to the government not a way two of you using the public to get your ways ousting us?

    The notion that we should give you a pass and let you oust us from our home because you are an old lady is egregious and only two of you can try to come up with such lame plan to try to have as many people to believe in that. Oh! your mother, our grandma was way older than you and never did a thing closer to what two of you are doing. First of all such person trying to tell us such a lame excuse, is dis-respectful of our being and is badly hypocritical of such person.

    Continue to spread the rumors and lies. They are just that "Rumors and Lies". Tow of you did not know that we were capable of deffending our home and that's shame on you. IN SPITE OF THE THREATS FROM YOUR FOLLOWERS/ASSOCIATES, WE STILL ARE HOLDING OUR VALUES AND RIGHTS DEARLY. YES OUR LIVES ARE THREATENED, BUT THAT ALONE CAN MAKE US TO CHANGE TOWARD THE EVEN BIGGER THREATS TWO OF YOU ARE PLOTTING ON US.

    "THIS TIME IS DIFFERENT". We want peace in us and at our home. Two of you are not bringing peace, but distractions. therefore, stay away from our home. You are not clean of what exactly you want from our home because we have said again and again about we don't need two of you at our home. it is not secrete.

    Amen, Stay Blessed.

  4. It looks like these people are not going to stop for nothing, untill they are stoped by the applicable law enforcement. Sadly in that part of the world things dont work as smooth as in the developed world, where this matter could be put to stop at once.

    That's why people like these relatives in that part of the world are thriving by doing harm on to other, the innocet. That's also why developent is measured by all about people in the community relatively v/s just the community where people are living in and itself. Because people are responsible of their lives and the community that they are aliving in and not v/s.

    Understanding the two is critical part of human development.

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.
