Welcome brothers and sisters. Enjoy your blog-post and gain more knowledge, skills and attitude in this blog of yours. Feel Free to give and provide constructive suggestions, opinions, advice, warnings, and as well as positive criticism and do not forget about creativity. This blog-web is dedicated to my mother and father and is expected to be officially launched on 25th November, 2010 when Dr.Hon. Jakaya Mrisho Kikwete, the President of the United Republic of Tanzania will be officially launching the commencement of the University of Dodoma. The University of Dodoma is the craft and brainchild of Dr. Jakaya Mrisho Kikwete and so he deserves congratulations for his innovative thinking. Let us cherish our own thinking and inborn creativity and take a parable from our president. Let those who care for future of our nation speak boldly:"Embrace Knowledge, and Generate" it as well. Remember in this University, We prepare our students to be job creators rather than job seekers as we have experienced for many years on what our predecessors were doing and are currently doing. We should remember these words: Criticism without playing our part in developmental issues leads to lamentation, blaming, job seeking and laziness, while creativity leads to innovation, discovery, job creation and freedom of mind as well as total independency. Play your part!
