Tarafa ya Kwasi ilikuwa maarufu kutokana na bidii za mchwa za wakazi wake. Uchumi wa tarafa nzima ulitegemea kilimo licha ya kuwa wenyeji wa eneo hili hawakuwa na mashamba makubwa bali vikataa vidogo vidogo tu. Hata hivyo wanatarafa hawa walijua jambo moja, kuwa ukilima pantosha, utavuna pankwisha na kwa hivyo walifanya bidii kubwa katika kilimo chao. Licha ya udogo wa vikataa hivyo, waliweza kupata mazao ya kazole kila msimu wa kuvuna ulipowadia. Tatizo kuu walilopambana nalo lilikuwa usambazaji na uuzaji wa mazao yao. Lakini kwa bahati nzuri pale tarafani palikuwa na mkulima mmoja wa miaka mingi. Yeye alikuwa na shamba kubwa na alinuia kuoa na kumfunza mwanawe mbinu bora za kilimo. Lengo lake lilikuwa mwanawe awe maarufu katika zaraa.

Si miaka mingi sana iliyopita. Mkulima huyu alifunga harusi ya kukata na shoka na ua la moyo wake, Bi Maridhia. Baada ya kuishi miaka minne wakitafuta mwana wao, Mola aliwafungulia njia. Bi Maridhia akajifungua totoshoo, mtoto si mtoto. Hungemwangalia mara moja. Alikuwa mrembo kuliko huralaini wa peponi. Kwa jina walimwita Baraka. Ujio wa Baraka uliwapa furaha kuu.

Kwa furaha hiyo walimwangusha karamu ya kukata na shoka. Yakini si yamkini Baraka alianza safari yake ya maisha kwa furaha. Utotoni alikuwa danga la mwana. Alikuwa mwenye tabia bulibuli. Maadamu waliishi unono, alilelewa kwa tunu na tamasha. Chochote kile alichokitamani alipewa na hata kuongezewa.

Kwake msamiati 'sina' au hakuna hakuujua. Alipata kila kitu labda kiwe hakikupatikana madukani. Naye Baraka shuleni alikuwa wembe uliokata kuwili. Alifuata nyay za wazazi wake ambao licha ya kuwa na vyao hawakudekeza hisia zozote za ugoigoi masomoni.

Baraka pia alikuwa mcha mungu. Alikuwa ngoi aliyewafurahisha waumini wa kanisa lao. Alisoma msahafu kwa uaminifu. Isitoshe hata wakati mwingine alisimama mimbarini na kuhubiri.

Waswahili husikika wakisema kuwa muda hupaa kama ndege. Baraka alijipata amejiunga na shule moja ya kifahari huko ng'ambo. Akiwa huko alitangamana na wanafunzi wa matabaka mbalimbali kutoka kila pembe ya dunia. Licha ya kuwa na furaha ya kupata nafasi hiyo ya kipekee iliyotamaniwa na wengi aligubikwa na huzuni. Kule alijipata katika kisiwa cha ukiwa na upweke. Nayo asilimia kubwa ya wanafunzi ilikuwa na mienendo iliyozorota. Mavazi ya wengi yalipwayapwaya, mazungumzo yasiyozingatia tasfida na nywele zilisukwa kivoloya.

Jinsi muda ulivyozidi kumsonga, ndivyo Baraka alivyozidi kuhusudu tabia za wenzake. Hii ni kwa sababu alichelea kuitwa limbukeni asiyetaarabika. Alishawishika kufuata rubaa. Haukupita muda mrefu ambako aliyazika maadili yake katika kaburi la sahau. Baraka alipotoka kitabia na kupoteza matumaini.

Baraka hakuona sababu ya kuwasiliana na jamaa kule nyumbani kama ilivyokuwa kawaida yake. Alijiona aliyekomaa. Hakujali la togo wala la jando. Chochote alichokiona au kusikia aliiga tu.

Maadamu alikuwa Mwafrika, aliamua kujimbambua ngozi ili awe kama wazungu. Alianza kujutia kuzaliwa Afrika. Yeye hakujali methali isemayo mwacha mila ni mtumwa. Isitoshe, alitamani kubadili umbo la kiwiliwili chake ili awe na kiuno cha nyigu cha kufungasha na nywele za singa. Yote haya aliyadhaminia mapenzi ya wavulana.

Baraka alibahatika kumpata daktari wa kutibu ugonjwa wake. Kwa kutumia karo alienda kufanyiwa upasuaji. Alipeusha rangi ya ngozi yake. Vilevile alifanywa kuwa na umbo la kuwapendeza aliowalenga. Akawa amefanana na wazungu wenyewe.

Anasa zilimnasa. Masomo nayo yakasukumwa mlango wa nyuma. Kazi yake ikawa ni kuzurura kutoka klabu moja hadi nyingine. Wakati akifanya haya, wazazi walijua kuwa alikuwa akibingirisha gurudumu la maisha. Laiti wangalijua kuwa Baraka kabadilika.

Ajabu huajabiwa. Kumbe Baraka alikuwa amejipalia makaa. Alianza kuugua saratani ya ngozi. Nywele, kope na nyusi zilimnyonyoka. Uso wake ulisawajika na kupata mabaka na makunyazi. Vidonda vilishika usukani. Akawa hatazamiki hata mara moja. Halimashauri ya shule iliamua kumrudisha nyumbani akiwa hali mahututi. Alikuwa hajiwezi. Wazazi wake walipomwangalia hawakumtambua. karibu hakuwa yeye. Kovu lililokuwa shingoni ndilo liliwafanya wamtambue. Baada ya muda mfupi, Baraka aliaga dunia. Mama yake naye kusikia hivyo, alizirai na kuipungia dunia mkono wa buriani. Ikawa huzuni si huzuni katika jamaa iliyokuwa na utulivu.

Mengi yamesemwa kuhusu utiifu. Ukweli ni kuwa, watu wengi hudhani kuwa maisha yangekuwa mazuri ikiwa kila mtu angeruhusiwa kufanya atakavyo. Kulingana na mimi, ni makosa kufikiria hivyo madhali mienendo isiyodhibitiwa na sheria ni kiini cha vurugu na ukiukaji wa sheria nchini. Hebu fikiria hali ingekuwa vipi ikiwa mwendeshaji pikipiki angeiendesha kulia na kushoto katikati ya barabara na kupuuza sheria za trafiki? Hali kama hii huweza kusababisha msongamano mkubwa wa magari mjini, hivyo kuwafanya watu wachukue muda mrefu kabla ya kufika waelekeapo. Kutengenea au kuwa shwari kwa mambo hutokana na kila mtu kutafuta kanuni zote zilizowekwa.

Kila mtu hana budi kuelewa kuwa utiifu si udhaifu au woga. Ni hali ya kutambua kuwa kutii utawala wa kisheria huhakikisha kuwa kuna muumano na utangamano wa kijamii. Utiifu una maana ya kufanya yanayotarajiwa. Vilevile utiifu una maana ya kutambua na kukubali kuwa kufanya matendo mema ni bora zaidi kuliko kutekeleza jambo au matendo ya kibinafsi tu. Kwa hakika ni vyema kutafakari kuhusu tunayoambiwa na wenzetu au hata watu wengine. Hatufai kufuata kila maagizo tunayopewa bila kuyatathmini vizuri. Mathalani; ikiwa mtu atakuambia ujihusishe na ujambazi, unafaa kukataa.

Ukweli ni kuwa katika maisha ya kila siku, tunatii kanuni nyingi bila kufahamu au kujua. Hakuna mtu kwa mfano anayetulazimisha kuzingatia lishe bora au kufuata maagizo ya daktari. Wengi wetu huhudhuria shule au kazini kwa wakati ufaao bila kushurutishwa. Ikiwa kwa mfano una gari unalomiliki, hakuna anayekukalifu kulipeleka kwenye gereji likatengenezwe au likakarabatiwe. Hebu jiulize hapo ulipo; je, kwa nini watu hufanya mambo kama haya bila a kuagizwa au kukahiriwa? Ukweli ni kuwa, tendo lolote lile la kutotii au kutotekeleza yale yanayohitajika litakuwa na matokeo mabaya au hata ya kuhatarisha maisha ya watu.

Wanafunzi shuleni wanatakiwa kuvaa sare nadhifu. Wabunge nao wanafaa kuvaa suti. Bwelasuti ni kwa makanika. Hata hivyo wengi hawatii wala kuheshimu uvaaji. Hapo awaliamii nyingi zilikuwa zikithamini maadili sana. Hata hivyo sasa maadili ya jamii zetu yanazoroteka kwa kasi kiasi cha kushangaza. Hali hii imeletwa kutokana na mwingiliano mwingi wa taifa letu na yale ya kigeni. Mwingiliano huu unaweza kuleta upungufu wa maadili. Kwa watu wengi na hususan vijana, kwao upotovu wa maadili ndio ustaarabu ufaao. Kusifu au kuiga nyendo mbaya huchangia upalilizi wa uozo wa tabia. Hali kama hii ikiruhusiwa kuendelea inaweza kuifuja nchi yetu.

Vijana wengi hawataki kutii sheria za uvaaji. Wafaa wakumbuke kuwa mavazi yanaweza kumtukuza au kumtweza mtu. Hali hii italingana na vazi lenyewe, hadhira lengwa, wakati na hata cheo cha mvaliaji. Hebu fikiria askari akivalia bombo na kizibao huku amebeba bunduki yake, mwalimu naye avalie chepeo, kaptura na ndara miguuni, mkunga naye avalie suruali ya kumkaba mwili na blauzi nyembamba katika zanahati yake. Zote nilizotaja ni nguo lakini wanaozivaa ndio hawatii mahali na kanuni za jamii.

Jamii zetu hutuzaini tuweze kuvalia nguo zetu za kijadi wakati wa sherehe. Kama nilivyokuelezea, wabunge wetu hawaruhusiwi kuingia bungeni bila suti na asiyetii hupigwa marufuku. Je, inamaanisha wakivalia fulana waheshimiwa wetu watakuwa uchi? La hasha. Ni vile tu kwa kuvalia fulana waheshimiwa wetu watakuwa wamekiuka kanuni za bunge. Bila vikwazo hivi, baadhi ya waheshimiwa wangekuwa na vibindo vya kutia pesa zao. Bunge ni jumba la heshima linalostahili heshima zake

Nilishasema vijana ndio hawataki kutii katika masuala ya mavazi. Hawa ndio walio katika mstari wa mbele kukosoa mavazi ya jadi. Wengi wao wamelewa na usasa na hawaoni chochote kizuri kutoka jadi. Ni vibaya sana kukosoa mavazi yetu ya kale kwa kuwa yangali na bado yako na mvuto wake. Joho, vilemba, shanga na migwisho ilikuwa na maana kubwa katika vyeo vya wazee wetu. Mzee angelia kigoda akiwa amevaa vazi la utawala, heshima ilikuwa ikiongezeka maradufu.

Siku hizi sote tumekuwa mateka wa kigeni. Mitindo yetu ya uvaaji ni shaghalabaghala. Si rahisi kumtambua msichana au mvulana, mzee au kijana aidha mwanaume au mwanamke. Wote wanadai kuwa chochote kinachoingia mjini ni halali. Hii ndiyo sababu utawaona wavulana wetu wakivalia vipuli, vikufu na hata kusuka nywele. Ya wasichana sisemi kwa kuwa niliyokutajia ya wavulana ni lele.

Mavazi huvaliwa ili kujisetiri. Tuzipe kazi zetu heshima. Tuipe miili yetu heshima. Tukifanya haya yote na tusipokaidi wito, heshima itaturudia. Utiifu ni suala muhimu sana katika maisha ya binadamu.

Read the passage below and then answer questions 26-38

Educating boys and girls together has always been an important and stressful issue. Many parents believe that the educational process can be more effective if the classes are divided according to the gender of the students. Although same-sex schools are considered too conservative and strict in today's times. Nevertheless, there are still supporters of this manner of education. Some parents are not in favour of a co-educational system as they feel that the presence of the opposite gender distracts the attention of students and prevents them from concentrating on their studies. They also feel that some children may not be confident enough to speak up in front of their opposite sex classmates thus causing them to perform poorly.

On the other hand, supporters of co-education feel that as boys and girls tend to be different, it is a valuable experience for both genders to communicate with each other. Moreover, the earlier boys and girls begin to communicate with each other, the sooner they acquire social skills, which are crucial to communicating freely in our day to day lives thanks to the opportunity to learn from teachers of both sexes. Furthermore, if there are girls in the classroom, boys may possibly try to behave better in order well not to lose face in front of the girls. Additionally, co-education teaches students equality as the teachers treat everyone in the classroom equally.

Apart from all that has been mentioned above, educating boys and girls together helps them understand and mutually respect each other from an early stage in life. This can possibly help in building a generation that doesn't suffer from gender bias and is open to healthy competition even between the two genders. This helps them maintain their dignity and educates them to face their failures as well as learn from them. Stereotypes have always been a huge problem in society. They cause issues for both boys and girls in specific roles but co-education can help in diminishing these barriers. For example, some girls would not be offered to work with robots as they are seen to be for boys, similarly boys would be discouraged to take the subject of fashion and textile but this does not matter in a co-education system as they are all treated the same way and encouraged to take similar subjects and take part in similar activities. This can help in overcoming misconceptions from an early age.

26. What does co-education mean based on the information above?

Read the passage below then answer questions 39 to 50

'Early in August, Livingstone set off with another missionary, having chosen the site of his station the beautiful valley of the Mabotsa, some two hundred miles to the north-east, where lived a tribe called the Bakatla Here he built a house with his own hands, and lived for three years; and here occurred his famous adventure with the lion. The villagers had for some time been troubled with lions, which not only raided their cattle-pens by night, but, growing bolder, attacked their herds in open day. The Bakatla set off once to attack the lions, but without success.
Reins receof chesp

"It is well known," writes Livingstone, "that if one of a group of lions is killed the remainder leave that part of the country. The next time, therefore, the herds were attacked, I went with the people to encourage them to rid themselves of the annoyance by destroying one. We found the animals on a small hill covered with trees. The men formed a circle, and gradually closed up as they advanced. Being below on the plain with a native schoolmaster named Mabalwe, I saw one of the lions sitting on a piece of rock within the ring. Mabalwe fired at him, and the ball hit the rock on which the animal was sitting. He bit at the spot struck, as a dog does at a stick or stone thrown at him; and then, leaping away, broke through the circle, and escaped unhurt. If the Bakatla had acted according to the custom of the country, they would have speared him in his attempt to get out, but they were afraid to attack him. When the circle was re-formed, we saw two other lions in it, but dared not fire lest we should shoot some of the people. The beasts burst through the line, and as it was evident the men could not be prevailed upon to face their foes, we turned towards the village. In going round the end of the hill, I saw a lion sitting on a piece of rock about thirty yards off, with a little bush in front of him. I took a good aim at him through the bush, and fired both barrels into it. The men called out, ' He is shot, he is shot!' Others cried,' He has been shot by another man too; let us go to him!' I saw the lion's tail erected in anger, and, turning to the people, said, 'Stop a little till I load again.' When in the act of ramming down the bullets I heard a shout, and looking half round, I saw the lion in the act of springing upon me. He caught me by the shoulder, and we both came to the ground together.

Growling horribly, he shook me as a terrier dog does a rat. As he had one paw on the back of my head, I turned round to relieve myself of the weight, and saw his eyes directed to Mabalwe,who was aiming at him from a distance of ten or fifteen yards. His gun missed fire. The animal immediately left me to attack him, and bit his thigh. Another man; whose life I had saved after he had been tossed by a buffalo, attempted to spear the lion, upon which he turned from Mabalwe and seized this fresh foe by the shoulder. At that moment, the bullets the beast had received took effect and he fell down dead."

Read the passage below and then answer questions 26 to 38.
Evening was the best time for us to review the day. As mother and my sisters prepared dinner, we sat outside the main house, entertaining ourselves with what we did, what we did not do and what we knew we would never do. We sat at that position because mother would call any of us without a warning to collect some firewood or fetch water from the other house. Occasionally we would be sent for salt or flour from the neighbouring homes and that occurred as a matter of emergency.

Mother's shrill voice rang from the kitchen. She rarely called any of us twice and if she did, you would be a fool to go too close to her. She had cooked some vegetables and served a portion of it in an earthen bowl. She asked us to run and deliver it to our aunt whose home was just but a fence away. Of course, running at night was forbidden and we knew she was aware.

We reached there when the family was just ending the prayer to start eating. It was an offence to turn down a meal invitation and so as we gave aunty the bowl, space was created for us and two empty dishes brought. She had cooked dried fish (the type that mother rarely prepared) and we were salivating as she served us generously. She then shared the vegetables among all of us. My brother and I looked at each other and that had a message. We were eating the same vegetables we had been sent to deliver and just as it was at our home, no one was allowed to talk while eating. No reason was given for this.

We thanked the family and left. Toni suggested that we should follow the main gate instead of the usual short-cut. The moon had risen and we were satisfied so I supported the idea but the moment we reached out, under the big mango tree by the path, I saw some movement. It was like a park of leopards, all standing and waiting for us! Instead of screaming for help, Toni led the way towards the homes further away. It was longer but we preferred it. If we screamed, mother would rush to save us but soon after, we would be pinched on our ears and noses, for failure to explain why we had taken the wrong route.

We walked away stealthily, looking back frequently like frightened rabbits. When we were half way, we heard dogs from the neighbouring homes barking loudly and we felt trapped! We could move neither forwards nor backwards. Then Toni turned and without a word, I meekly followed. We continued going in the same fashion until we approached the same mango tree. I could still see the same leopards but Toni kept going and so did I. To my surprise and relief, there was nothing under the tree but shadows cast by the bright moonlight. I kept my thoughts to myself.

We reached home and were whispering to each other when we almost fainted. Sitting at the eaves of the house was our mother! "You decided to go wandering in the village at night instead? You left your uncle's home ages ago. As a punishment, you will go to bed hungry so that you learn a lesson," she ordered.
We went straight to our room and the moment we heard her bolt her door, we burst out laughing heartily. However, the laughter was under control for we could have a serious explanation to give if she heard it and returned. We were not ready for that.

    4. It is not easy to measure their quality when not in use.

    2. for you could accidentally get hurt there
    3.  since you could be disciplined for it
    4. as she didn't tolerate calling them more than once.
30. By asking the boys to run to deliver the vegetables, mother
    1. expected the boys to return fast 
    2. wanted the boys to run to and fro
    3. knew the distance to be covered was actually short
    4. believed the boys would never disobey her.
31. The time when the boys reached with the vegetables and the meal timing can best be described as
    1. a plan
    2. realistic
    3. perfect
    4. a coincidence.
32. Why do you think mother send the boys to take the vegetables to the aunty?
    1. Vegetables had become rare.
    2. She realised she had cooked too much of it.
    3. She wanted to share with the aunty.
    4. The aunty had a large family.

    2. they got served with the same vegetable they had just delivered
    3. the space created for them was hardly enough
    4. the aunt served them with the fish generously.
34. If one refused to join others in taking a meal, 
    1. the parents would be blamed for poor upbringing
    2. other children would be encouraged to do the same
    3. no one would listen to them
    4. the children would be punished for it.
35. Toni suggested that they follow a longer route
    1. since the moon had risen
    2. in order for them to reach home late
    3. for he wanted to test their mother's intelligence
    4. so that they could take a bit longer to reach home.
36. Why did Toni and his brother not scream for help?
    1. No one would have heard them.
    2. The leopards would have pounced on them.
    3. It had its own consequences.
    4. They were too satisfied to be loud enough.
37. The word "wandering' has been used in the passage to mean
    1. moving from one place to another aimlessly
    2. walking in darkness for too long
    3. doing work you've not been asked to
    4. fearing things which do not even exist.
38. In the end, the boys laughed because
    1. they had actually eaten the same vegetable away from home
    2. the mother's punishment would not serve any purpose
    3. the barking dogs had scared the leopards away
    4. their mother had not realised how scared they had been. 

Read the following passage and then answer questions 39 to 50.
An extinct animal is one that does not exist anymore. It is interesting to note that the animal actually existed long ago, before any of our great grandparents were alive but to date, we are able to see how they looked like. Such an animal has completely vanished and cannot be found anywhere on earth. It might be difficult to determine a species or a specific type of animal, has become extinct.

Scientists have been known to mistakenly believe that an animal died, only to be discovered living one year or so elsewhere. The coelacanth, for example, is a fish that biologists thought had utterly vanished millions of years ago from the earth's surface. Then, in 1938, a researcher discovered one that had been caught by a fisherman!

Hundreds of creatures and plants that previously flourished on our planet have vanished totally. According to some biologists, there are five billion more species that have become extinct over the years than what we have on earth today.

Extinction can occur for a variety of reasons. A mass extinction event is one of the least common but most well-known causes. These are massive events that affect specific animals almost at the same time. The majority of experts think that the dinosaurs died out millions of years ago in a catastrophe that caused their extinction.

Animals are more likely to face extinction nowadays as a result of human-caused circumstances. Habitat degradation is the most common of these. By introducing poisonous substances or degrading the physical space where the animals live, humans may endanger their natural habitats. The immense deforestation that has occurred in the tropical rainforests is one of the greatest examples of habitat degradation.

Another reason for which man has been blamed is when they make technological advancement. Man could decide to put up a huge factory somewhere but once it is running, measures are not put in place to ensure that the toxic waste from it is not released to the water bodies. As it flows, it dries up rivers and plants that the animals in and around the rivers live on. In that way, man unconsciously causes extinction.

39. How does one tell that a specific animal is extinct?
    1. When he can't see such an animal he knows.
    2. When he relies on what others were told by those before them.
    3. Any time some species of animals start dying.
    4. If he sees a strange animal for the first time.
40. The most interesting thing about an extinct animal is that
    1. the shape is unbelievably strange
    2. so many people give different versions of how they looked
    3. we know if but none among us ever seen it
    4. all of them were never in our country.
41. Scientists at times believe that an animal is extinct because
    1. it takes quite a long time to declare an animal extinct
    2. they are in a hurry to document extinct animals
    3. some animals disapp... then reappear
    4. their research does not cover the whole world.
42. The fisherman who caught the coelacanth is likely to have
    1. done a lot of research of extinct animals 
    2. planned this over a period of time 
    3. seen such a fish some other time
    4. been equally surprised at seeing it.
43. Why do you think some plants and animals become extinct?
    1. Their number increase too fast against what they eat.
    2. They move or are moved to strange locations.
    3. Their way of life becomes permanently changed.
    4. They eat all the plants and animals then die of starvation.
44. Mass extinction can affect specific species of animals if
    1. the researchers fail to locate specific animals at the place
    2. an unfortunate event affects the animals almost at the same time
    3. Crossbreeding with different species takes places
    4. nature does not provide conducive atmosphere to the animals.
45. Which of the following is a human-caused circumstance of extinction?
    1. When some animals come to feed on a whole population of another.
    2. A disease that comes out to wipe out a species of animals.
    3. Migration of animals to a completely different place.
    4. Draining off water in which a species of animals live or get their food.
46. Deforestation is likely to lead to
    1. extinction of some plants and animals 
    2. introduction of new and strange plants and animals
    3. control on the number of plants and animals
    4. growth of new plants and trees from elsewhere.
47. Why are animals more affected by human based extinction circumstances?
    1. Both humans and wild animals share the same water source.
    2. Some animals seek refuge in human homes.
    3. Human activities displace them more.
    4. Human-wildlife conflict is not easy to resolve.
48. Construction of roads and factories 
    1. is the only cause of animal extinction. 
    2. is not done purposely to cause extinction.
    3. can cause re-appearance of an extinct species.
    4. usually considers areas where almost no animal live.
49. The best thing to do to toxic waste from factories is
    1. creating a dam for its storage
    2. enabling it to flow out freely and slowly
    3. releasing it in bits especially during dry season
    4. treating it before being released back to the rivers.
50. The best title for this passage would be 
    1. Extinction of animals and plants. 
    2. Man's activities on the earth surface. 
    3. Population of plants and animals. 
    4. Effect of technology advancement on plants and animals.

Suala la vijulanga na watu wazima kutumia mihadarati ni mojawapo ya matatizo yanayowatinga akili na kuwatesa watu anuwai siku hizi. Hapo awali jambo hili lilionekana kama mwiko. Siku hizi laonekana jambo la kawaida katika jamii zetu.

Dawa za kulevya zimekuwa tatizo sugu ambalo linahitaji kushughulikiwa kwa kila njia. Si jambo la mjadala tena na wala hatuwezi kujitia hamnazo kuhusiana na swala hili. Hii ni kwa sababu mihadarati imepenya kila mahali shuleni, vyuoni hata kazini. Watu wengi huanza tabia hii kimchezochezo na mwishowe huwawia vigumu kujikwamua; kumbe ni kweli walivyonena wahenga kuwa mazoea yana tabu!

Mihadarati hii ina athari nyingi. Wanaoathirika zaidi ni wanagenzi. Kadri wanavyoendelea kutumia dawa hizi ndivyo wanavyo kuwa waraibu. Utumiaji wa dawa hizi huwazuzua na kuwasisimua na mwishowe hushadidi katika matumizi yake. Madhara ya dawa hizi ni mengi, mathalani uvutaji wa sigara huchangia pakubwa katika kusababisha ugonjwa wa pumu. Mvutaji sigara huingiza moshi mwilini. Kumbe moshi ule huwa sumu. Moshi ule huharibu mapafu na umio. Vidole vya mvutaji huwa vyeusi. Harufu itokayo mdomoni mwake aidha si ya kupendeza.

Wapendao kupuliza hashishi pia hawajaachwa nyuma. Wao huona vimulimuli na kujihisi wenye nguvu za kulivunja jabali, wengine huonekana wachovu na hivyo kulala kupitia kiasi. Hawazingatii afya, hukosa malengo na hawalengi shabaha katika kazi. Aidha hukosa hamu ya kazi, chakula na hata maendeleo ya binafsi.
Wanafunzi wanapozama katika kuvuta bangi huacha shule kwa kuona elimu ikiwa sumbufu. Watu wazima wavutao bangi hutokwa na utu wakawa kama hayawani na kutenda matendo ya kukirihi kama vile ubakaji wa watoto na wanawake.

Miraa ni aina nyingine ya mihadarati. Utafunaji wake vilevile una madhara. Miraa humfanya mtu kupoteza usingizi na kuzembea. Iwapo matumizi yatakithiri, mtu hukosa uwezo wa kuzaa au kuzalisha.

Ni hatia kujihusisha na mihadarati kwa njia yoyote ile iwe ni utumiaji au uuzaji. Ni jambo la kukata maoni kuona baadhi ya vijana wakitumiwa na maajenti ili kuuza dawa hizi. yeyote yule atakayepatikana akihusika na vitendo vya kusafirisha, kuuza na kutumia dawa za kulevya atatiwa mbaroni, ashtakiwe, ahukumiwe na kufungwa jela kwani huu ni uhalifu.
