Dr. Adolfo:
It is always a pleasure to hear from you, as you regale us with your
experiences. Before the Good Lord recalls you, will you please pen your
autobiography, listing all your experiences, educational achievements, and
other achievements for which you have received the highest recognition both at
the National level in Tanzania and Internationally ?While I am a Kiswahili
speaker, like you, most of the readers of your post may not know the meaning of
the very unusual middle name of the late President of Tanzania - Mr. John
Pombe Magafuli.. Please enlighten your readers. I am sure it will cause a lot
of mirth. .
I am glad that Tanzania has its first Lady President, who by all accounts is
very capable and highly regarded. May she serve Tanzania well.
Cashews in Vietnam - news to me. That begs the question, does Goa rank among
the first ten highest producers ?Do they distill Feni in Vietnam albeit with a
different appellation ?Interesting cocktail using the world renowned (at least
by Dr. Adolfo's reckoning) Quepem Cashew Feni. I wish you had given us a
little more information (proportions). I grow Aloe Vera, Cashews and Bimblie,
on my estate in Goa (though far from Quepem)/Having most of the prime
ingredients, this lush is anxious to concoct this interesting cocktail.
it is interesting to read that "amcho Goencho Saib" St. Francis Xavier, spent
more time in Kilwa, Tanzania than he did in Goa.How did you learn about his
stint in Kilwa. Are there some clues that you came across during your research
on the Saint's proselityzing in Kilwa, Tanzania ?
Kwaheri Mzee Adolfo, na Mungu Ibariki (Kiswahili traslation - Goodbye Elder
Adolfo and May God bless you !)

It has been a great fews days, despite the incessant rains, the havoc caused by
crazy road builders who want to construct a major road connecting Makongo Juu
with the University and the sprawling multiple city of no longer Haven of Peace
I am upset because our pristine environment, full of rare plants, including the
ancient cycad one which actually came from our ancestors Home in Quepem.....
I am still sane because our Lady President of Tanzania, has appointed Dr
Blindina Kilahama one of her eight advisors. It so happens that Dr Balindina,
an Economist did her Ph d on the Cashew in Vietnam...Yes Vietnam which has
overtaken Tanzania as the 2nd or third largest producer of nuts. John Pombe
Magafuli our 5th President who was recalled by Our Lord was also interested in
the Cashew but more Seed ....yes Brake Lining for Motor Vehicles !!! As a
Director of Postgraduate studies of UDSM I read his proposal and told him not
to waste my time He would be sent to Britain. JPM remembered the occasion and
in front of thousands of citizens told them who had sent him to England ...ALAS
I forgot to tell him that URAK and Feni could reduce stress and would have
enabled him to focus and be rational instead of thing of MEGA Projects . A
pleasant soothing cocktail can be concocted by using Superior quality of Feni
(purchased in Quepem) a bit of aloe vera, not from my garden, tonic water and a
round Bimblie ...Yes Goans have introduced that plant in Tanganyika ....its
found in several different parts of DSM where Goans lived.
When we have so much of good things happening why should we be burdened with
Maga List.
Let me end this piece by now bring in our Lady President ....As Vice President
in 2019 December she awarded me a citation for making Ngorongoro a World
Heritage Site (UNESCO -WHS) I pledged to help the Govt to start two WHS in
Kilwa and Lindi .....She asked her Press Secretary to have my Photograph taken
for the Press. A week later the Immigration Dept...called my neighbour
...<<<Tell the Professor to Collect his E-Passport. There was no question of
bribing for my birth right ....
How do the Goans fit in ? Our Patron Saint St Francis Xavier was in Kilwa
before he came to Goa ...he spent more time in Kilwa than he in did in Goa !
Yes he studied the language, helped with the sick and got converts...Yet there
are two Massive Mosques, the Palace of the Sultan from Muscat....yet for over
400 years Christians have lived in Peace !
Grandolfo In Makongo Juu
Are you in Goa or Tanzania.
This is Urrak season so return to Quepem.
