1. Karudi baba mmoja,
toka safari ya mbali,
Kavimba yote mapaja,
na kutetemeka mwili,
Watoto wake wakaja,
ili kumtaka hali,
Wakataka na kauli iwafae maishani.
2. Akatamka mgonjwa,
ninaumwa kwelikweli,
Hata kama nikichanjwa,
haitoki homa kali,
Roho naona yachinjwa,
kifo kimenikabili,
Semeni niseme nini,
kiwafae maishani.
3. Yakawatoka kinywani,
maneno yenye akili,
Baba yetu wa thamani,
sisi tunataka mali,
Urithi tunatamani,
mali yetu ya halali,
Sema iko wapi mali,
itufae maishani
4. Baba aliye kufani,
akajibu lile swali,
Ninakufa maskini,
baba yenu sina hali,
Neno moja lishikeni,
kama mnataka mali,
Kama mnataka mali,
mtayapata shambani.
5. Wakazidi kumchimba,
baba mwenye homa kali,
Baba yetu watufumba,
hatujui fumbo hili,
akili zetu nyembamba,
hazijajua methali,
Kama tunataka mali,
tutapataje shambani?
6. Kwanza shirikianeni,
nawapa hiyo kauli,
Fanyeni kazi shambani,
mwisho mtapata mali,
haya sasa buriani,
kifo kimeniwasili,
Kama mnataka mali,
mtayapata shambani.
7. Alipokwisha kutaja,
fumbo hili la akili,
Mauti nayo yakaja,
roho ikaacha mwili,
Na watoto kwa umoja,
wakakumbuka kauli,
Kama mnataka mali,
mtayapata shambani.
8. Fumbo wakatafakari,
watoto wale wawili,
wakakata na shauri,
baada ya siku mbili,
wote wakawa tayari,
pori nene kukabili,
Kama mnataka mali,
mtayapata shambani.
9. Wakazipanda shambani,
mbegu nyingi mbalimbali,
tangu zile za mibuni,
hadi zitupazo wali,
na mvua ikaja chini,
wakaona na dalili,
Kama mnataka mali,
mtayapata shambani.
10. Shamba wakapalilia,
bila kupata ajali,
Mavuno yakawajia,

Wote wakashangilia,

Kama mnataka mali,

11. Wakanunua na ng'ombe,
majike kwa mafahali,
wakapata na vikombe,

Hawakuitaka pombe,
sababu pombe si mali,
Kama mnataka mali,
mtayapata shambani.
12. Wakaongeza mazao,
na nyumba za matofali,
Pale penye shamba lao,
wakaihubiri mali,
Wakakiweka kibao,
wakaandika kauli...

It is another good day for me; I'm so happy to see again for this day oh my god bless me and add another years of life as well as better life. Peace and love to my family, relative, friends,coworkers and all my mates , have nice celebration of union day of Tanzania 26 April.
Hop very good day waooooo ahaz
I thank for your good heart you have a day you receive us at mpemba a junction to Ireje and tunduma you treat us as your son we love you but god you so much rest in peace 29/03/2015 by ahaz
Why this day
1. We get to give birth. Yes, it hurts like hell
and totally mashes up your vajayjay, but
it’s still the most amazing miracle in all
humanity.
2. We instinctively know how to be strong
whilst simultaneously being kind. You
know that tough love thing we do? It’s a
real gift.
3. We have boobs, and boobs are clearly
the best body part. No contest.
4. We have the bestest friends. Good
girlfriends are like family. In fact, they’re
better than family, because they’ll support
and justify all your life decisions, even the
ones your parents and siblings despair at.
5. We smell nice. Even when we’ve been
sweating it out at the gym and our
deodorant has totally let us down, we still
smell better than men.
6. We’re on the up. Government statistics
show that women now account for 20.7% of
board positions in the FTSE100 – up from
12.5% in 2011. Go us!
7. Men don’t fully understand us, so we
remain an alluring mystery *do doo do
doo*
8. When it comes to fashion we totally win.
Whereas boys are stuck with trousers or,
well, shorts (which are just trousers with
less leg, so whatevs), we get skirts and
dresses, ball gowns and leggings, and
even culottes – an amazing hybrid of all of
the above.
9. Nail art. Need we say more?
10. Periods. Actually, scrap that. Periods
have no redeeming qualities AT ALL.
Moving on…
11. We get to wear makeup. Like, just
imagine having to leave your house on
your most hungover, spot-ridden day
without it. Doom.
12. Women are funnier than men. Ok, so
we don’t have stats to back this up, BUT
Amy Poehler, Tina Fey, Bridget Christie,
Lucy Omielan, Sarah Silverman, Lena
Dunham, Caitlin Moran, Joan Rivers (RIP),
and the entire cast of Ab Fab …
13. We’re natural born master negotiators.
Like, hand on heart, who hasn’t sneakily
persuaded someone to do
EXACTLY what they wanted them to do,
whilst actually saying the total opposite?
None of you. Case made.
14. We can cry without judgement. And
everyone knows, sometimes there’s
nothing better than a good cry.
15. And finally, we’ll leave you with these
two words: multiple orgasms.

This is an online account with Microsoft.com that linksall your different logons on different computers.Alternatively you can create a local account. Local accounts are the standard for all versions of Windows before Windows 8 – they just exist on the local computer.When creating an account you may have toclick to ‘Manage anotheraccounts’ to get to the option to create an account:Then click to create an account:At this point you enter the name for the accountand choose whether or not it should be an Administrator. Note that Administrator access gives the user FULL control over your machine so it is good practice to only give Administrator access to accounts that really need it.Finally click the ‘Create Account’ button and you are done!

Rise in ATM theft overwhelms banks
>Escalation of ATM thefts is overwhelming commercial banks in the country which are increasingly
Dar es Salaam. Escalation of ATM thefts is overwhelming commercial banks in the country which are increasingly finding it difficult to cope with huge requests to compensate hundreds of victims of the electronic fraud.
Inquiries by The Citizen on Saturday shows that banks are still struggling to come up with an effective solution to the problem that has put depositors in fear of attack as vulnerability widens.
This failure of the banks to change things around despite several measures to enhance their risk management process has made them more susceptible to card skimming.
And months that the banks are taking to compensate victims of ATM theft is another frustrating side of this crime for depositors who have fallen victim of the theft across the country.
Mainstream banks -- NBC, Standard Chartered, CRDB, NMB and Barclays—are losing hundreds of millions of shillings in ATM card skimming and their customers are worried on the fate of their deposits.
Banks are not ready to reveal how much they lose in ATM fraud despite written requests being sent to them, but according to some reports banks have in the past few years been made to spend over a billion shillings in compensations.
Mr Anthon Mwangake, who banks with CRDB Bank in Kahama, Shinyanga lost Sh139,000 a month ago in ATM skimming. At around 10:40pm he received an sms alert that his ATM card has been used to draw the amount.
The next morning, while at the bank to register his case came three other people with similar complaints.
Although Mr Mwangake was refunded the money in less than 45 days he was told to wait. He is losing faith with banks.
“I’m not confident with with the security system in our banks. I suspect inside these banks could be some culprits,” Antony told The Citizen on Saturday.
Mr Mwangake, however, is just among the few lucky ones who got refunded in such a short period of time. Most victims have endured months of going up and down in banks’ corridors to pursue refund.
It was not that easy for a city resident, Mr Adam Gwankaja, whose 1.7 million was stolen from his Standard Chartered Bank account in five different transactions last Saturday.
“I tried to contact the call centre at the bank without response. The best thing I could do was to transfer the remaining money into M-Pesa to avoid further theft,” he says.
“The situation is so bad for us depositors. We are so vulnerable to ATM attacks today than ever before,” he says.
The bank has told him to wait 45 working days to investigate and process his refund.
Another Standard Chartered client who lost Sh2.7 million last August in similar style, Mr Barnabas Mkwayu, complained he has endured four months of following up refund in vain.
He said he was told by the bank that the process was taking long because his money was withdrawn from an ATM though VISA that’s why the process was taking long because it has to involve other banks in investigations.
Head of investigations at one bank who preferred anonymity because he is not authorised to speak for the bank has confided to this paper that it was taking too long to compensate victims of ATM fraud because the banks are overwhelmed by escalating incidents.
“Delay in refund is because we are overwhelmed by ATM theft cases. We need enough time to investigate each particular case before we can endorse refund,” he said.
The problem of ATM fraud is on the rise whereby a task force was formed early last year to address the problem.
Last year, Bank of Tanzania (BoT) teamed up with Tanzania Bankers Association (TBA), Tanzania Communications Regulatory Authority (TCRA), Financial Crime Unit and Cyber Crime Unit to study escalating incidents of ATM theft and recommend ways of taming the crime.
It is also understood that the BoT had also directed commercial banks to take several measures to curb ATM theft including carrying out awareness programmes on the safe use of the machines, including careful and handling of sensitive details such as Personal Identification Number (PIN) to protect their accounts against unauthorized access.
Yesterday, BoT governor Benno Ndulu said the task force was still working to end the problem and did not fall short of directing commercial banks to implement directives issued by the central bank to control ATM theft.
“We are advising banks to issue their customers with chip-and-pin ATM cards which are technologically highly secured,” said the governor.
He said banks must sensitize their customers on the risks of disclosing information such as their PINs to other people.

Ivory smuggling kingpin seized in Dar
>Police confirmed yesterday the arrest of the suspected mastermind behind ivory trafficking
Mr Feisal Ali Mohammed
Dar es Salaam. Police confirmed yesterday the arrest of the suspected mastermind behind ivory trafficking across the East African region.
The Deputy Director of Criminal Investigations, Mr Diwani Athumani, told The Citizen by telephone that Kenyan national Feisal Ali Mohammed, 46, was arrested in Kariakoo, Dar es Salaam, on Monday night.
“The suspect is in police custody and is being questioned,” he said.
“We are checking to see whether he has links with inter-regional organized crime and if he entered Tanzania legally.”
The head of Interpol in Tanzania, Mr Gustavu Babile, said the suspect was caught after Interpol and Tanzania police force joined forces following a tip-off.
Mr Babile said Mr Mohammed was tracked down to Tanzania following a warrant of arrest issued against him in October, this year, adding that the agency had posted his picture and details on its website.
According to police, Mr Mohammed is the leader of an international poaching syndicate in the region, and is linked with the seizure of 228 tusks and 74 ivory pieces weighing over two tonnes at a motor vehicle warehouse in Tudor, Mombasa, in June, last year.
Interpol last month put Mr Mohammed on a list of nine most wanted suspects linked to crimes against the environment.
His arrest was also confirmed by Kenyan authorities.
“Feisal Ali Mohammed was arrested by Interpol officers in Dar es Salaam. He was then booked in Msimbazi Police Station at 10.42pm last night,” Kenya’s director of public prosecutions said in a statement.
It said he is facing charges in Kenya’s port city of Mombasa for “dealing in and possession of elephant tusks” weighing more than two tonnes and equivalent to at least 114 poached elephants, which were found during a raid in June. Two alleged accomplices, Abdul Halim Sadiq and Ghalib Sadiq Kara, were arrested then, but Mohammed managed to escape and has been on the run since.
According to an Interpol source, Mr Mohammed was caught in “a string operation” conducted in collaboration with Tanzanian police.
He is the second of the nine alleged “environmental criminals” listed by Interpol to have been arrested since the Interpol appeal last month.
Earlier this month, Zambian national Ben Simasiku was arrested on charges of possessing ivory from Botswana.
In November, Interpol said the arrest of the suspects would “contribute to the dismantling of transnational organised crime groups which have turned environmental exploitation into a professional business with lucrative revenues.” Ivory is sought after for jewellery and decorative objects and much of it is smuggled to China, where many increasingly wealthy shoppers are buying ivory trinkets as a sign of financial success.
A sharp rise in poaching in Kenya, which is home to an estimated 30,000 elephants and just over a thousand rhinos, has sparked warnings from conservation groups that the government is losing the fight against the slaughter.
Poaching of the African Forest Elephant is a serious issue in southern Tanzania as well as other districts where elephants are free to stray outside national park surveillance.
As a result, the population of elephants has decreased by two thirds since the 1950s.
A study conducted by Tanzania Wildlife Research Institute (Tawiri) revealed that the number of elephants in two wildlife sanctuaries in Tanzania indicated a sharp fall by more than 40 per cent in just three years, as poachers increasingly killed the animals for their tusks.
The study was conducted in the Selous Game Reserve and Mikumi National Park and revealed elephant numbers had plunged to 38,975 in 2009 from 70,406 in 2006.
Given the estimated total elephant population in Tanzania as between 110,000 and 140,000; it was feared that with such a large drop in numbers over such a short period of time this may wipe out the country’s elephant population within seven years.
