One of the major barriers to men addressing and tackling the challenges they face is the fact that discussion of mental health is largely taboo for Tanzanian men. They’re not expected to open up and talk about their struggles with life. Every two weeks (Fortnightly), on Wednesdays Michael Baruti and Nadia Ahmed present an episode that will discuss the challenges that men go through and offer detailed insight on mental health for men. If you’re interested in Mental Health and are interested in unpacking and unlearning mental health for men in Tanzania, this podcast is exactly what you need
Dr. Lwidiko Mhamilawa ameibuka kwenye studio zetu siyo kwa ajili ya kutuambia jinsi maisha ni magumu (tulishajua hiyo), bali kutufundisha jinsi ya kufurahia safari ya maisha – hata pale unapotaka kutupa lapa na kusema, “Inatosha!”
Unajua, kuwa mwanaume ni kama kuwa kocha wa timu isiyoelewa mchezo: kila mtu anakutegemea wewe, lakini hakuna anayekuelewa! 😂 Maisha yanakuhitaji utafute hela, ulee watoto, ujenge nyumba (na siyo ya mbwa), huku ukifanya yote haya kwa tabasamu la Kimasai.
Lakini badala ya kulalamika juu ya maisha haya mazito, Dr. Lwidiko anatufundisha siri moja kuu: Kupenda mchakato wenyewe. Swali la kitofauti linakuja – Je, unafurahia kuwa mwanaume, au unaishi kwa survival mode tu?
Kwa usaidizi waMichael na Nadia, tunazungumzia pia umuhimu wa kushukuru na kushangilia mafanikio madogo madogo. Kwani, kama unaweza kusherehekea unapoipata *“charge” ya simu kwa 1%, kwa nini usifurahia hatua zako ndogo za maisha? 😂
Hii siyo tu episode, ni therapy session yenye jokes, insights, na motisha ya kuendelea kuwa mwanaume mwenye maana – bila kusahau furaha. Usikose hii safari ya kuelewa maana ya kuwa mwanaume!
Kumbuka, maisha ni safari – lakini angalau unaweza kucheka njiani. 😎
Sadick Ali ni mchekeshaji, muigizaji, mfanyabiashara... na zaidi ya yote—ni baba. Sasa, kama wanaume wengi duniani, wazo la kuwa baba kwa mara ya kwanza lilimjia kama mshangao wa mitihani ya darasa la saba: hauko tayari, lakini unajidanganya kuwa utaweza!
Na kama ulivyotegemea, Sadick alijikuta akikabiliana na mchanganyiko wa hisia—uoga, shauku, na sintofahamu isiyokuwa na GPS. Lakini kubwa zaidi, aligundua ukweli mchungu: hata uki-google kila kitu, hakuna njia ya kujiandaa kikamilifu kwa "daddy duties." Na ukifikiri unajua, mtoto wako atakutengenezea changamoto mpya—au diapers zitakutengenezea!
Karibu katika Men Men Men The Podcast, ambapo Michael, Sadick, na Nadia wanazama kwa kina (na kwa vicheko) kwenye changamoto na baraka za kuwa baba kwa mara ya kwanza. Hii ni safari inayochanganya furaha, machungu, na maswali kama: “Mbona mtoto hajalala bado?”
Nafsi Yangu Ina Amani
Katika dunia ambayo inashangalia ukamilifu wa mwanaume, dunia ambayo bado haiko tayari kuzungumzia kwa kina juu ya afya ya akili ya mwanaume, dunia ambayo mwanaume anayepitia changamoto za afya ya akili bado anatengwa na kuonekana mtu asiyefaa kushirikishwa na jamii yake, Sunday Kapesi anapambana kubadilisha hayo.
Toka safari yake ya kuondokewa na baba yake mzazi, kuanza kuingia kwenye matumizi ya madawa ya kulevya na kupata urahibu, kuweza kumuangalia mama yake na ndugu zake usoni na kukiri kwamba anahitaji msaada, na kuamua kwenda “rehab” ili aweze kupambana na urahibu huo, Sunday haachi simulizi yeyote kwenye mazungumzo haya.
Kama baba, kama mtoto, kama kaka, na kama mtu ambaye ana ndoto za kuisaidia na kuiokoa jamii yake, Sunday anaongea na sisi ni namna gani ni rahisi mno kwa mtu yeyote, hususani mwanaume kuingia kwenye urahibu, lakini pia anatutia moyo kwamba kila tatizo bado linauwezo wa kutatuliwa.
Ilimchukua muda kiasi gani kwa Sunday kupambania afya yake ya akili mpaka kufikia hatua ya kuweza kupata “amani kwenye nafsi yake”?
Sikiliza kiundani mazungumzo haya ili na wewe uweze kufahamu kwamba haijalishi unapitia magumu kiasi gani, siku zote kuna suluhisho la unayopitia, na linaweza kuwa suluhisho bora ambalo litajenga zaidi afya yako ya akili na kukufanya uwe bora zaidi ya jana. Pambana kuipa nafsi yako amani
Baada ya kuzungumza naye katika sehemu ya kwanza, Bwana Ng’winula Kingamkono au maarufu zaidi kama #Unu wa Tunzaa anarejea tena katika Podcast yetu kwa sehemu ya pili na ya mwisho kwa sasa.
Safari hii Unu anaendelea kutupa ujuzi na uzoefu wake katika kuanzisha, kusimamia na kuendesha biashara ya “StartUp” yake Tunzaa.
Kumbuka, Unu hakuanzia hapa. Anaongea na Michael Baruti na Nadia Ahmed kuhusu maana ya mafanikio, maumivu aliyopitia, kitu anachojivunia na namna pia kwa upande mwingine kuwa baba kumekuja kuwa jambo bora na funzo bora sana kwake kama mwanaume, kaka, mtoto wa kwanza na zaidi ya yote kama mfanyabiashara. Na swala ambalo bado analilisitiza kwetu sote ni kuijua sifuri yetu. Je, wewe unaijua sifuri yako? Unajua ulipoanzia? Unajivunia safari yako? Sikiliza mazungumzo haya yenye mafunzo ya kutosha kwetu sote.

This is the Allan Lucky’s story of how he went against all odds to become the man he is today.
Born in Songea, to a christian Family, Allan describes his early life as being constrained in the triangle of three main things, church, school and home. From an early age it seemed that this is how his would be. That’s till he came to Dar es Salaam and realized there’s more to life.
Allan takes us on a journey about how he never thought of going back to school to end up graduating, how missing the shot of becoming a host of Planet Bongo TV and radio show during the presenter search broke him and sent him into depression. He shares with us his journey with the famous TV show called SKONGA and how that changed his life for the better and for the worse.
While sitting on top of the world, married and with a kid, Allan quits EATV and the SKONGA TV show and leaves the country to neighbouring Kenya. Professionally things were great, but personally it came with a cost of him losing his family. So what were the lessons learned? Any regrets? And why did he come back to Tanzania after all that?
This is Allan Lucky’s story and how he fought all the odds stacked against him to get to where he is. When asked who is Allan Lucky, his response was “A father, a husband and a man who thrives at anything that life throws at him, even when stacked against all odds”
