Kipchoge had run so fast that he crossed the line four minutes and 49 seconds ahead of his compatriot Mark Korir,
time that could have seen him have a rapid shower and dried himself just as Korir came home. But there he was,
saying, “My legs and body still feel young, but the most important thing is my mind-and that also feels fresh and
young.” The man might bring this thing below two hours before he turns forty.
The spectacular success of Kipchoge and other distance stars from Ethiopia, Uganda, Morocco, and others, is an
allegory of the possibility of national progress and African global competitiveness. He and his ilk have succeeded
because they have taken natural resources and opportunity and turned them into world-bearing products. It is
something Africa is very bad at. The Democratic Republic of Congo is said to be the most resource-rich country, but it
has done bugger all with it. It is one of the poorest countries and remains mired in conflict. If you have that much
natural wealth, you can buy a lot of peace and stability with it if you are smart in its use; ask the Saudis, Emiratis, and
Qataris.
There have been plans to build a Grand Inga Dam on the Congo River. Its potential can provide up to 40 per cent of
the continent’s electricity needs. That would be more than twice the electricity generated by the most powerful dam
in the world, The Three Gorges Dam in China. Nothing has happened. The Kipchoge treatment would have that dam
up, and supplying power-cut plagued South Africa and Nigeria.
Until recently, Nigeria was Africa’s largest exporter of oil. But due to corruption and sabotage, its now fourth, behind
Angola, Algeria and Libya. Save for Algeria, all the other three import refined petroleum products. And Nigeria and
Angola are plagued by fuel shortages at the fuel pump. If Nigeria had a Kipchoge touch, it would be one of the world’s
leading exporters of refined fuel products.
Economists keep throwing figures about to show that Africa is de-industrialising. That could be because they are
measuring the wrong thing. One of the biggest industries in Africa is whining and moaning about how Europeans,
Americans, Chinese, the Gulf States, and everyone else is exploiting and rigging the global system against us.
Yes, global injustices and imperialist exploitation must be called out and resisted, but the payoff is in overcoming and
bragging about it. Africa cannot continue blaming all its miseries on an evil world. Too many of us believe that it is
possible to overcome the odds.
If we were all Kipchoges, we would say Africa will be a world superpower and richest continent and just do it.

7. Majibu yote yaandikwe kwa Kiswahili.
Takwimu zilizothibitishwa zaonyesha kuwa kila sekunde nane mtu mmoja hufa duniani kutokana na
utumiaji wa tumbako. Kwa siku basi, watu 10,800 hufa. Wengi wa wavuta sigara huanza katika umri kati
ya miaka kumi na mitatu hadi kumi na tisa. Takwimu zaonyesha kuwa mtu akivuta sigara kwa zaidi ya
miaka ishirini huupunguza umri wake kwa kati ya miaka 20 hadi 25 zaidi ya ambaye hajawahi kuvuta. Hii
ni kwa kuwa tumbako ina zaidi ya kemikali 4,000 zinazodhuru afya.
Mojawapo ya madhara makuu zaidi yanayosababishwa na sigara ni saratani. Kunayo saratani ya ngozi –
vidonda visivyopona huchubuka ngozini na baada ya muda hugeuka na kuwa kansa. Iri ya mapafu hutokea
vifuko vya hewa vinapopasuka na hivyo kutatiza uvutaji wa oksijeni na utoaji wa kabondayoksaidi. Moshi
pia husababisha madhara kwa njia ya kupitisha hewa, yaani umio, ambapo njia hii yaweza hata kuzibika
hivyo kulazimu tundu kutobolewa kooni ili mgonjwa aweze kupumua. Kabla ya kufika kooni na mapafuni,
moshi hupitia mdomoni. Saratani ya mdomo na ulimi basi hupatikana zaidi miongoni mwa wavuta sigara.
Pia kidonda chochote, kwa mfano baada ya kung’olewa jino, huwa vigumu kupona kwa mvutaji sigara.
Kwa wanawake, kuna hatari ya kupatwa na iri ya fuko la uzazi. Madhara kwenye njia nzima ya uzazi
huifanya iwe vigumu kwa wanawake wavuta sigara kuhimili. Ni rahisi pia kuzaa njiti. Mtoto wa mvutaji
huzaliwa akiwa mwepesi zaidi ya kawaida. Hii husababishwa na kabonimonoksaidi kutoka kwa sigara
inayomdhuru mtoto tumboni. Saratani hii husababisha hata kifo cha mtoto aliye tumboni. Wengine
wazaliwapo huwa na hatari ya kupatwa na saratani zaidi ya waliozaliwa na akina mama wasiovuta sigara.
Aina zaidi za saratani zinazowakumba wavuta sigara ni kama vile saratani ya pua, ya tumbo, ya figo, ya
kibofu cha mkojo, ya kongosho, ya njia ya kinyesi na hata saratani ya matiti inayowaathiri zaidi wanawake.
Shida za sigara sio saratani pekee; sigara husababisha shida za macho na masikio kwa kiasi kikubwa.
Mboni ya jicho yaweza kufunikwa na utando, hali inayoweza kusababisha hata upofu. Macho yaweza
kuwashwa na moshi mkali wa sigara au mishipa ya macho iathirike na kemikali zinazofika kwayo kupitia
kwa mishipa mapafu yanapoathirika. Masikio nayo huathiriwa na uchafu wa tumbako unaoganda kwenye
mishipa hadi sehemu za ndani za masikio. Damu hupunguza mwendo ufaao masikioni hivyo yanaugua.
Moshi na kemikali za tumbako pia hujeruhi sehemu za ndani na athari hii yaweza kuenea hadi ubongoni na
kusababisha utando unaofunika ubongo. Hali hizi zaweza kusababisha uziwi.
Mifupa na meno huathirika pia. Mifupa huwa myepesi, hukosa nguvu na kuwa rahisi kuvunjika. Mvuta
sigara akivunjika mfupa huchukua muda wa asilimia themanini (80%) kupona zaidi ya mtu asiyevuta. Meno
nayo hutatizika katika ukuaji wake kutokana na kugandwa na moshi wenye kemikali. Hali hii husababisha
harufu mbaya, uchafu pamoja na kuoza kwa meno.
Ngozi ya mvuta sigara hukaushwa na kemikali kwa sababu uwezo wake wa kujirekebisha na kujilainisha
hupunguzwa pakubwa. Hali hii husababisha ukavu unaoonekana pamoja na makunyanzi yanayomfanya
mvuta sigara aonekane mzee zaidi ya umri wake. Vidole navyo vilevile hugandwa na kutu ya sigara, nazo
kucha na vidole hugeuka rangi vikawa vya manjano, hudhurungi au maji ya kunde. Vidole pia hukaushwa
na moto na kemikali ya sigara. Nywele za mvuta sigara pia huathirika kwa kuwa kemikali huipunguza
kinga ya mwili hivyo mizizi ya nywele kukosa nguvu. Nywele za mvuta sigara zaweza kung’oka mapema.
Kwa mwanamume, mpigo wa damu kwenye sehemu za uzazi huathiriwa. Hali hii ikizidi husababisha hata
upungufu wa nguvu ya mbegu kwenye shahawa. Hata ugumba waweza kutokea. Pia watoto wa mwanamke
mvuta sigara waweza kuzaliwa wakiwa na kasoro. Mimba zingine zilizotungwa na wanawake wavuta
sigara pia hutunguka. Na si hayo tu; madhara ya sigara ni mengi zaidi.
