Faraja Mwikongi, a colour painter artist.

        "I take challenges as part of learning" This is what you can hear for Faraja, a lady ambitious to open school. She recently had an interview with Matukiolive media. 

QN. Why  this kind of painting not others like charcoal or pencil?

I am engaged to this kind of painting, because of the Culture and
colour which attracts, if you look at this, mixed yellow colour is
something which has attracted me.

QN. What makes you happy once your paint is done?

Something which makes me happy, is the way people respond
positively to the Paints, I investigate on how many are happy with the
paint and i become so happy when a person tells me I don’t believe if
you are the one painting like this. It is so wonderful to me because i
believe there people believes i can do something. when someone say i
don’t believe, then appreciate my work, that is my great happiness.
I realized when i was at secondary school, is where i realized my
painting talent.



QN. When exactly did you realised your talent?

The school where i was, had a teacher’s college so Teachers were
asking for students to assist them in drawing, i used to volunteer,
drawing animals pictures, that where i realized i have capability.
When looking at advertising and Marketing, most of the time i use
Social networks, its much simpler, different people get to know the
product rather than being stationary

QN. Is there any challenge do you face in you work?

There is challenge in the Market, it’s difficult selling paints, and
sometimes you can paint like this, but once you get in to the market,
one says i need like this but of different design.
If you take example of this paint, I you make a mistake in colour
mixing, that is great challenge, because you consume a lot of time
mixing colour till you get the right colour you need.

QN. Painting is an art, some people might criticise your art, how do you take it?

Of course, I take challenges as part and parcel of learning. To me, when
one says you are wrong, ooh you have to consider a certain design.
Imagine you ask someone for help, at any cost unfortunate he ignores
you or saying no, directly while you know he can help you, for sure
that hurts me much. A person disagree to teach you something you are
sure he is masters of and can help you.


QN. What will you always remember in this work?

What made me happy are the paints i painted for my parents, is
something made me happy, at first i gave to mama, she was very
happy, is something that encouraged me much to continue painting,
and when i also gave to Daddy, he was amazed, he couldn’t believe if
i could paint that way, and i am not much sure if he believes. Is
something that gives me happiness, and when i paint i also think of
the happiness of my parents.

QN. Who do you like in this field, and what are your plans in the future?

To be honest i admire Masoud Kipanya, I do believe i will be like him
one day and i wish i could meet him. Also i wish to have a class like,
from Little children, why, its difficult for children to realise if they
have talents, so i would like to be a teacher, i need to learn much so
that i can play my part in helping kids realise their talents when still
young. I will work hard so that i may become a painting instructor in
the future

It’s now a custom, where two, three or four people meet, no conversation will be heard, everyone will be busy with his smartphone. Some people have gone far, saying once you have a visitor at your home place, unlike of serving a drink, just give her USB-WIRE to power his phone, and he will be glad if wi-fi will be available too. This is how technology has shaped our world.

Privacy is something which is taken with much concern, Business companies tries to maintain company’s Privacy so that to maintain their market.  It is through privacy a person might damage his image at work, or at home. The advent of advanced communication technologies has worsened the situation, know days either willingly or unwillingly you will find your information/data are exposed to the people you don’t want.

I found most of young people like technology, yes I do like too, because it has simplified life though it endangers our privacy every day. Walking with smartphone in your pocket has no different with being tracked by Intelligence Unit (Spy). Do you know why? Because smartphone can tell everything about you, the food you eat, the road you pass, the place you rest, the distance you walk, the kind of transport you take.

Of course its amazing, we love google, but our privacy are nothing. Some few weeks ago, I decided to take a walk for some kilometres, it’s fun walking while chatting, though it is dangerous, so after I finished my trip, I received a notification that I walked some (14) Kilometres through a certain way. ooh What!! So my trip was being tracked? For sure that notification made me feel unhappy, because I realised the data were already stored in the google server, and I could not manage to delete it. The notification meant a lot to me, that am no longer the only one who knows the trip I made, but also the Google knows? And what fascinating much, the google started asking me to provide some human assistance, like to tell if a certain Hotel has parking, a certain Supper markets opens every day or not.

In other scenario I received a call and it was a new number, the person who called me seems was from the mobile company of which am the customer to. She asked some questions regarding my experience on that very phone which I use, of course I tried my level best to cooperate, because it seems she knew everything, the kind of phone I use, the year I bought and other important information, so I decided to share my experience just because I believed even if I don’t share, she already had some of my information.

Anyway that is not the topic I wanted to share today, but what exactly I wanted to share is how we share our privacy unknowingly to the mobile companies or some software while believing that we still holds our privacy.

For some time, I have been asked myself why some mobile applications (software)won’t work until you give permission to access you image files, email, etc.? have you asked why this happens? Just imagine you need to open camera, to take some photos, but camera says please allow Camera to access your Gallery files first, and because you are in need of picture, you allow that, what do you think is happening once you allow that?  You lose your privacy!!

Most of millions mobile Applications which are developed every day needs you to allow them to access some files in your phone for them to work. And you are really happy about that? the bad news is, you do not even know the developer of a certain Application, what has been coded in it, and what is taken once it accesses your files. This is a worse of technology.

May be you have the feeling, that “who needs you information” once you are not famous? Do you know that very little information which tells where you are, with whom, what are you doing, can harm your life? Do you know that you call little information of yours can be used to enrich a certain company?

The development of Advanced communication technology has blinded many people, something which makes most of people to ignore the importance of their privacy in daily life.

Last week, I was in the Commuter bus (Daladala), It was very evening, heading back home. The daladala was full, so I was forced to stand-up for some 2 good hours. Because I was not seated, I saw every one seated busy chatting on their smartphones, what interested me was a lady besides me, her Android phone was set in large typography in such that you can read the text very well just from 2 metre from her. Imagine she was in the commuter bus, with such settings, chatting sensitive issues, what a worse?

When I tried to deal with my business, by turning my eyes to the other side of, my eyes met with most disgusting photo from other passenger, and I was like ooh my God, what is this. I realised the seated passenger do forget that what they chat, are clearly seen by those who stood. And that doesn’t need discussion.

Therefore, as we are busy with our smartphones, chatting whether in a daladala, at home, in the office, lets know we are also busy exposing our information to unconcerned people. If you want to keep your privacy, better stop using smartphone or be keen when using it by stop chatting in commuter bus unnecessarily, or turning data on to places where you don’t need your business to be recorded.

Today I want to write just a little about the Marabou storks, something very interesting. Bwana Afya is a swahili word which means Heath caretaker. Probably you have had read somewhere about birds, I know there are many birds which are beautiful, attracting but these marabous are amazing.
In Tanzania Lake zone regions, I mean near Lake Victoria whether Tanzania, Kenya or Uganda, these birds are famous and well known. First and foremost, If you see them around your street, Know that you are friend of waste, because they love waste environment. You Know why? Because they have a tendency of cleaning the environment, due to that, people around Lake zone TZ, especially in Mwanza have nicknamed them BWANA AFYA(Health Care taker).
Interesting? You will find them in dumps trying to eat some remains, but also you will find them at the shore of the Lake. They walk like they are in Miss universe Contest, in such a way that you might think they are lazy birds but they will prove you wrong once you throw a piece of fish towards them. They are 2Ft long plus a long neck.
MUSCULAR? What caught my eyes, was when the Marabou ate the whole Samaki (Fish) within a min second, imagine a 2kg fish, 6 inch being swallowed within a seconds! Ahsante that is just a little about BWANA AFYA.
