E.Msoline is a new and a growing Sociologist, change maker and commentator on
the global economy. He was born and raised in rural area, Maguge ‘‘A’’, Kihanga
village, Karagwe District-Tanzania. He was educated at Maguge Primary School (1996-2002)
and Iluhya Secondary School for his O Levels
(2003-2006). He attended Karagwe High School for his A Levels
(2007-2009). He holds a Bachelor Degree in Sociology (BA:SO) from the
University Of Dodoma-UDOM (Tanzania-2012). Being the last born, he is very
quiet and polite when speaking. Living
with his parents, he used to follow his pillars that are prayers, study and
hard working (volunteering).
After completing
his first degree, Msoline faced many challenges, but with the agony that he
went through, he remained believing that Life is warfare. In a war, there are
many battles to be won. Each time God sees you through a battle; it is right
for you to say, “Thank You, Lord” and glorify Him. It is a way of encouraging
Him to see you through future battles, because there are many battles ahead.
He thanks
all who supported him to be the way he is today, as he says:
‘‘As an African young boy who so far had
honor and privilege of running the blog and , in my view, quite successful with
a lot of support, I have been empowered and I have been supported. Clearly I
could not do this alone. You need partnership, you need support from your
colleagues, member state, the staff, and mates of the day who gave me the
chance to lead and show that even Young African Boy could actually do the work
and do it well. So this is empowerment.’
Msoline continues
saying that with the challenges of life that every person go through, there is
a root cause behind, he mostly emphasize
people that when you want to solve one’s
problem, don’t generalize, but just make critical analysis to know what is
behind the scene. By generalizing is to commit fallacy. Also he says in boosting someone, ‘‘don’t preach,
lead by examples (mesh with action)’’.
The Change
Maker As Prof. Tibaijuka says:
There are
three classes of people:
1. Those who
watch things happen.
2. Those who
wonder why things happen.
3. Those who force
change in the world around them.
Certainly,
Msoline neither came to watch nor did he come to sit and wonder why things
happen. Msoline came to change things and in ways that even he himself may not
have imagined when he arrived in 2014.
Change makers
not only change the world around them, they also force a change in others as
well. But in very profound ways, they themselves are changed and transformed.
Change
makers quite often attract adulation and animosity in equal measure. This is
not new.
Change
makers often attract friends and foes in equal measure. This is also nothing
new.
Change
makers are likely to please or hurt, they inflict wounds and healing balms in
equal measure. This is not new.
But then
Msoline is playing his part and from today, all we will have memories: of what
had been and what will have been.
Good day not
goodbye/Enjoy your moment
