UTU

Nina machache muhimu, ambayo ni ya thamani

Nataka kutakalamu, niyatoe hadharani

Wayafahamu kaumu, marafiki ikhuwani

Ewe kiumbe insani, kuwa mja mwenye utu

Neno ‘UTU’ tufahamu, ni funzo kwetu soteni

Nitawapa kwa nidhamu, kwa mpango wa kanuni

Na tena ni kwa nudhumu, kwa shairi kubaini

Ewe kiumbe insani, kuwa mja mwenye utu

Wema si mali ya mtu, hili tujue yakini

Wala uzuri si kitu, wa umbo lakini mwilini

Kitu aula ni utu, kitu bora duniani

Ewe kiumbe insani, kuwa mja mwenye utu

Na kivazi na kitimu, kwa utu hakilingani

Nguo si kitu adhimu, na kiatu mguuni

Kitu ni ubinadamu, kisokuwa na kifani

Ewe kiumbe insani, kuwa mja mwenye utu

Utu ni kitu adimu, kipawa chake Manani

Utu ni moyo rahimu, heshima yake insani

Na tena ni ukarimu, na roho yenye imani

Ewe kiumbe insani, kuwa mja mwenye utu

Utu sio ujabari, ushujaa wa vitani

Mtu ni utu mzuri, wa tabia na makini

Mwenye utu ni fahari, kwa wake na majirani

Ewe kiumbe insani, kuwa mja mwenye utu

Utu ni khulka njema, maumbile ya nyumbani

Ni ubinadamu mwema, ni ya Mola yake shani

Hima basi ndugu hima, utu ni wetu soteni

Ewe kiumbe insani, kuwa mja mwenye utu

Ya nane ni kaditama, kalamu naweka chini

Ikiwa niliyoyasema, nitakuwa makosani

Tafadhali kwa heshima, nawaomba msamaha

Ewe kiumbe insani, kuwa mja mwenye utu

Lau ingeuzwa hewa

Kahari Mola Manani, Muumba wetu wadudi

Kwako twapomoka chini, kusudi tukuabudi

Umeijaza angani, hewa isioidadi

Mafakiri wangewaje, lau ingeuzwa hewa

Matajiri duniani, bahili walivyozidi

Wangeitia chupani, hewa kisha wainadi

Hewa I moto thumni, na pauni ya baridi

Mafakiri wangewaje. Lau ingeuzwa hewa

Wangelia masikini, kulilia yao sudi

Hasa kwa bei sokoni, ipandishwapo zaidi

Kungezagaa huzuni, na mauko ya fuadi

Mafakiri wangewaje, lau ingeuzwa hewa

Na makwasi madukani, wangeiuza na kodi

Uwapo huna hunani, kununua huna budi

Mana watoto nyumbani, wanakungoja urudi

Mafakiri wangewaje, lau ingeuzwa hewa

Ingetiwa na melini, iuzwe nchi baidi

Ijengewe juu chini, mabohari ya hadidi

Bora yao ni mapeni, iende yao miradi

Mafakiri wangewaje, lau ingeuzwa hewa

Masikini uwanjani, wangepigishwa paredi

Wapige magoti chini, kusujudia malodi

Ndipo itiwe chupani, warushiwe ja samadi

Mafakiri wangewaje, lau ingeuzwa hewa

Elakini Rahamani, achukiaye husudi

Pembe zote duniani, hewa amejaza hadi

Bure waja pumueni, bila malipo kufidi

Mafakiri wangewaje, lau ingeuzwa hewa

How to reveal fake Facebook profile pics

Have you ever received a friend request on Facebook from a person you don't even know? Then seeing the person's attractive profile photo you confirm the friend request without a second thought? Earlier this year I received such a request from a lady. So, late last night or rather early this morning, at around 01.00hrs, she appeared online and I decided to initiate conversation with her. I had to be careful lest spoil future opportunity.

As we were chatting, I was busy scanning her profile info to find out more about her. I was amazed. She had more than 400 friends. Majority of who were men from various regions in the country. They were also drawn from various universities within the country. None of them from the University she attends.

Sometime back a friend of mine called to ask me whether I knew the lady I am telling you about. This is after he had also received a friend request from her and seen that she was my mutual friend on Facebook. I told him I knew nothing about her. My friend accepted the friend request without delay. How many of you have declined such requests before?

Brazilian Actress, Taís Araújo

Continuing the story regarding my chat with the lady in question. She responded positively to my chat messages. I also enjoyed the way our conversation was going. I am not that naughty though. You know how conversations with friends you don't even know go? Just before I asked her about the authenticity of her profile picture, she begged to log out because she was sleepy. Grrrrrrh!

This question regarding the authenticity of her pic bothered me so much. I am the kind of person who hardly sleep having questions in my mind. Google came in my mind. But how can one paste a picture into Google's search box and get results? I decided to copy the profile picture from Facebook and paste it on Google's search box. I know this is the most stupid idea I have had lately.

Funny enough my attempts took me to Google image option, but no results were forthcoming. This is the reason why I am sharing with you steps I took to find out the authenticity of Facebook profile pictures. Especially those images downloaded from the internet. The next few steps will help you find out:

Go to your Facebook account and select the photo to find out whether its genuine or not. Let it appear on the screen. Right click on the image then select, 'copy image URL' option.

Go to www.google.com then on the task bar on top of the page select images. After displaying Google images in the search box click on the camera icon. Paste the URL into the search box that is indicated paste image URL. Click search.

Coming back to the lady we were talking about, it happens that her profile picture is of a Brazilian actress by the name of Taís Araújo. Funny enough most of her updates received comments from men; complimenting her of her beauty. None came from her lady friends. So next time you see that beautiful profile picture, take a moment and think about it. Better still follow the above simple steps.
