Madonna has lost her court battle to adopt a second child in Malawi. Malawi's High Court ruled that she could not be granted an interim adoption of a four-year-old girl, Mercy James.
Court registrar Ken Manda said her bid had been rejected because the singer was not a resident of Malawi.
Malawian civil society groups opposed the adoption attempt and a local human rights activist said it would amount to child trafficking.
Rights groups had accused Malawian authorities of giving the pop star special treatment.
Earlier, Malawian information minister Patricia Kaliati said Madonna had helped in the country and was a worthy mother.
She said: "Madonna has been good to us, she is supporting over 25,000 orphans in this country and she has proved that she can take care of David.
"Very few rich and famous people can take time to fly all the way to Malawi to support our children - we support her adoption process."

Tujali misaada tuipatayo
Napenda kuongelea misaada kutoka mashirika yasiyo ya kiserikali (NGO) ya kimataifa ambayo husaidia maendeleo ya wananchi nchini kwetu. Kuna mashirika kama oxfam, worldvision n.k. ambayo tunayo hapa kwetu Tanzania.
Mashirika haya yamekuwa yakiongeza nguvu za maendeleo pale tunapohitaji kupigwa jeki. Na yamekuwa yakifanya hivyo bila kuchoka.
Ni vema sisi tunaofaidika na misaada hii tuonyeshe nia ya kuipokea na kifanyia kazi ipasavyo na kutunza kile wanachotuachia. Hii ni pamoja na matumizi mzuri ya fedha na vifaa tunavyopokea kutoka mashirika hayo. Fedha zitumike katika shughuli zilizokusudiwa na vifaa pia vifanye kazi iliyokusudiwa na kama kuna vyombo vya usafiri tumeachiwa mfano magari, pikipiki, baiskeli n.k. navyo tuheshimu matumizi yake na kuvitunza vidumu.
Haya mashirika yanapata rasilimali na fedha (wanazotuletea) ktk mazingira magumu sana. Hizi ni hela kutoka nchi nyingine ambako wamejinyima wao ili sisi tufaidi, na wakati mwingine hawa watu wa mashirika yasiyo ya kiserikali ya kimataifa hutafuta michango ya wananchi wao kwa njia ya omba-omba -wanasimama mabarabarani na mitaani na kopo au bakuli kuomba mwenye chochote achangie. Kwa kweli wanafanya 'umatonya'ktk nchi zao na wanapopata chochote hutukumbuka ili nasi tufaidi. Wengine hukusanya nguo chakavu (mitumba) na vitabu vya zamani na kuviuza tena ili wapate hela ya kutusaidia.
Kutokana na juhudi za haya mashirika ktk kukusanya chochote ili hela ipatikane kwa ajili yetu wa dunia ya tatu, ni vema nasi tuwe waadilifu ktk kujitolea, kutunza na kuendeleza vitu wanavyotuletea kwa ajili ya maisha na maendeleo yetu. Tuonyeshe kujali na sio kuwakatisha tamaa.

Kipato vs. matanuzi(?)
22/12/2008
Najiuliza sana sipati jibu, napiga picha bado sielewi . . . .
Baadhi ya Watanzania kipatacho chao halali na kinachotambulika kuwa ni halali ni kidogo, ukilinganisha na style ya maisha yao . . . .
Utawasikia
- Mshahara hautoshi . . . . Anasomesha watoto Private Schools
- Kipato kidogo . . . . Anajenga nyumba
- Maisha magumu . . . Anavaa na kula vizuri
- Tunapata shida sana na maisha . . . Ana gari . . .
- Hali ni ngumu sana . . . . Utamkuta bar na kwenye starehe nyingine . . .
Ndugu zangu nisaidieni ni wapi hasa wanapata kipato hiki cha ziada wakati vipato vyao vyao vyote vya halali vinajulikana . . . .
I hope sio mafisadi . . . . (source: jamiiforums, 22/12/2008)

Hii ndio Roho mbaya, Uchu na Dhuluma!!
Unapopokonya mali ya mkeo usiyoitolea jasho
Mpenzi msomaji, wiki iliyopita niligusia barua pepe ya msomaji mwenzetu ambaye alilalamika kuhusu utapeli aliofanyiwa na mumewe kutaka kumpokonya nyumba yake aliyoijenga mwenyewe kabla ya ndoa yao.
Hata hivyo, nikampatia majibu ya mwanasheria kuhusu kilichomo ndani ya sheria ya ndoa ya mwaka 1971, kwamba mali iliyochumwa na mke au mume kabla ya ndoa bado itabaki kwa mmliki isipokuwa ile au zile mali zilizopatikana ndani ya ndoa yao ndizo wanazopaswa kugawana.
Kufuatia makala ile, yupo jamaa mmoja aliwasiliana nami na kunielezea mtafaruku ulioikumba familia ya ndugu yake, ukifanana na mkasa tuliozungumzia wiki iliyopita. Siyo kisa kizuri ni cha kusikitisha kwa kuwa kilipelekea kifo.
Hiyo ikanithibitishia kuwa kumbe wapo ving`ang`anizi wa mali za wenzao ambazo hawakuzitolea jasho kuzitengeneza.
Katika simulizi ya tukio hilo lililotokea miezi kadhaa iliyopita katika mkoa mmoja nchini, akasema familia hiyo katika mwaka wa kwanza wa ndoa yao, kulikuwa hakuna matatizo.
Lakini kuanzia mwaka jana, mke na mume wakawa na mzozo wa mara kwa mara ambao marafiki wa karibu na pia majirani walidai kuwa huenda ulitokana na kutopata mtoto.
Hata hivyo, kwa mujibu wa jamaa huyu anayetoa simulizi kutokana na ukaribu na familia hiyo, akasema kuwa ugomvi wa wanandoa hao ulitokana na mali alizokuwa nazo mke kabla ya kuoana ambazo mume alizitaka.
Mwanamke huyo alikuwa na kazi nzuri, msomi na mchakarikaji katika kujiinua kimaendeleo.
Mumewe alikuwa mtu wa kawaida tu aliyeoana na mwanamama huyo, huku akiwa ameshajenga nyumba ambayo ndimo walikuwa wakiishi.
Inasemekana kuwa jamaa yule alihamanika kumpenda bibie kutokana na kazi nzuri aliyokuwa nayo na pia magari yake mawili ya kifahari.
Mzozo hasa ulikokea pale mume huyu alipoanza kumlazimisha bibie ampe gari moja alimiliki, lakini akawa anamkatalia.
Shinikizo kubwa la mume likiwa kwamba maadam amemuoa kihalali, basi mali zote za mke ni mali yake pia.
Hilo mke akalikataa na kumwambia kuwa kama anataka gari mojawapo itabidi amkopeshe kwani hata yeye magari hayo hakuyapata kirahisi bali kupitia mikopo katika benki na bado alikuwa hajamaliza deni.
Inavyosemekana mume huyu baada ya kuona mama ametia ngumu na magari yake, akaenda kupata ushauri kwa marafiki zake.
Unajua tena marafiki wengine siyo wazuri. Wapo watakaokushauri kuchukua maamuzi ya busara na wengine maamuzi ya maangamizi.
Siyo kila mtu anafurahia maisha au maendeleo ya mwenzake kwani wengine ni wabomoaji wakubwa na nyumba za wenzao.
Wanakupa ushauri mbovu, kisha wanakaa pembeni kusubiri matokeo, kisha wanakulaumu eti ingekuwa ni yeye au wao wasingechukua uamuzi ule. Ebo! Si ni wewe uliyemshauri?
Ufisadi wa kiroho huu, au siyo msomaji wangu?
Naam. Usiku mmoja ukazuka mzozo mkubwa kati ya wanandoa hao.
Majirani ilibidi wasikilizie kwenye paa na nyufa za madirisha ambako sauti zilisikika.
Inadaiwa kwamba baada ya muda sauti ilififia lakini mama yule akasikika akimsihi mumewe asimpige sindano.
Kisha ukimya ukatanda.
Ila kesho yake asubuhi, kumbe mama yule alikuwa tayari amefariki.
Bwana akamchukua haraka haraka na kumpeleka katika hospitali moja ambako baadaye aliwasiliana na jamaa zake, jamaa na marafiki kuwajulisha kuwa mwenzake(mkewe) amefariki dunia.
Jamaa zake hawakuamini ikabidi wakimbilie hospitali kujua kilichomuua. Wakataka mwili wa marehemu ufanyiwe uchunguzi lakini mume akazuia usiguswe na kwamba kinachotakiwa ni kuandaa mazishi, basi.
Hata wauguzi waliposhinikizwa na ndugu za marehemu uchunguzi ufanyike kujua chanzo cha kifo walikataa kufanya hivyo.
Ikahisiwa kuwa huenda ni njama za bwana yule kutaka kuficha ukweli wa kilichosababisha kifo kile.
Katika kikao cha maandalizi ya mazishi ulifumuka mvutano mkali, huku upande mmoja ukitaka uchunguzi ufanyike na mwingine ukitaka mazishi yafanywe bila kuchelewa.
Hatimaye, marehemu alizikwa lakini akiacha maswali lukuki. Kisa ung`ang`anizi wa mali usizozitolea jasho. Ama kweli Maisha Ndivyo Yalivyo.
Mpenzi msomaji, hivi unapobaki na mali ambayo unajua fika kuwa siyo yako na mwenyewe aliyeitafuta kwa jasho ametangulia mbele za haki huku akiipigania mali hiyo bila mafanikio, utakuwa na raha gani?
Wiki ijayo nitakupa mfano mwingine pia wa kusikitisha ambapo mama alikufa kwa ugonjwa wa moyo baada ya kubaini kuwa gari lake, mume huligawa kwa hawara atambe nalo mjini kila anapokuwa safarini. Usikose, fuatilia kisa hicho uone walimwengu walivyo wabaya na vya wenzao.

Wasalaam.

'Haters'**
ONLY THE STRONG SURVIVE*
SHAKE THEM HATERS OFF!
A hater is someone that is jealous and envious and spends all their time
trying to make you look small so they can look tall. They are very negative
people.
Nothing is ever good enough!
When you make your mark, you will always attract some haters...
That's why you have to be careful who you share your blessings and your
dreams with because some folk can't handle seeing you blessed...
It's dangerous to be like somebody else... If God wanted you to be like
somebody else. He would have given you what He gave them.
You don't know what people have gone through to get what they have...
The problem I have with haters is that they see my glory, but they don't
know my story...
If the grass looks greener on the other side of the fence, you can rest
assured that the water bill is higher there too.
We've all got some haters among us: Some people don't like it that you can:
* Have a relationship with God
* Light up a room when you walk in
* Start your own business
* Tell a man/woman to get lost (if he/she ain't about the right thing)
* Raise children without both parents being around
* And not ask for a dime from Anyone
* Haters don't want to see you happy
* Haters don't want to see you succeed
* Haters don't want you to get the victory
Most of our haters are people that are supposed to be on our side. How do
you handle the haters who you at least expect to have your guard up
against?
You can handle your haters by:
1. *Knowing who you are & who your true friends are * (VERY IMPORTANT!!)
2. *Having a purpose to your life *
3. *By remembering what you have is by divine prerogative and not human
manipulation.*
Purpose does not mean having a job.
You can have a job and still be unfulfilled.
A purpose is having a clear sense of what God has called you to be.
Your purpose is not defined by what others think about you.
Fulfill your dreams!
You only have one life to live................when its your time to leave
this earth, you want to be able to say,"I've lived my life and fulfilled my
dreams, .........I'm ready to go HOME!
When God gives you a favor, you can tell your haters, "Don't look at me...
Look at who is in charge of me..."
Pass this to all of your family & friends who you know are not hating on
you including the person who sent it to you.
If you don't get it back, maybe you caught somebody out!
Don't worry about it, it's not your problem, it's theirs. Just pray for
them, that their life can be as fulfilled as yours!
Watch out for Haters............................BUT most of all don't
become a HATER yourself!
If you received this from me then you are on my FRIENDS list!
Take Care
**Ni ujumbe kutoka kwa mmoja wa wasomaji wangu Donald Bituro (wa August End, Reading)

assured that the water bill is higher there too.
We've all got some haters among us: Some people don't like it that you can:
* Have a relationship with God
* Light up a room when you walk in
* Start your own business
* Tell a man/woman to get lost (if he/she ain't about the right thing)
* Raise children without both parents being around
* And not ask for a dime from Anyone
* Haters don't want to see you happy
* Haters don't want to see you succeed
* Haters don't want you to get the victory
Most of our haters are people that are supposed to be on our side. How do
you handle the haters who you at least expect to have your guard up
against?
You can handle your haters by:
1. *Knowing who you are & who your true friends are * (VERY IMPORTANT!!)
2. *Having a purpose to your life *
3. *By remembering what you have is by divine prerogative and not human
manipulation.*
Purpose does not mean having a job.
You can have a job and still be unfulfilled.
A purpose is having a clear sense of what God has called you to be.
Your purpose is not defined by what others think about you.
Fulfill your dreams!
You only have one life to live................when its your time to leave
this earth, you want to be able to say,"I've lived my life and fulfilled my
dreams, .........I'm ready to go HOME!
When God gives you a favor, you can tell your haters, "Don't look at me...
Look at who is in charge of me..."
Pass this to all of your family & friends who you know are not hating on
you including the person who sent it to you.
If you don't get it back, maybe you caught somebody out!
Don't worry about it, it's not your problem, it's theirs. Just pray for
them, that their life can be as fulfilled as yours!
Watch out for Haters............................BUT most of all don't
become a HATER yourself!
If you received this from me then you are on my FRIENDS list!
Take Care
