Kuwezeshwa huku kwa mtoto wa kike kumekithiri na dalili zimejitokeza katika hali mbalimbali. Dalili iliyo kubwa zaidi ni kutelekezwa kwa mtoto wa kiume. Yeye amesahaulika kabisa kiasi kwamba hakuna kundi au juhudi za kiutawala ambazo zimewekwa kuhakikisha kuwa naye hajaachwa nyuma kama mkia.

Kutelekezwa kwa mtoto wa kiume kumeanza kuonyesha matokeo yasiyoridhisha. Suala la kwanza lililo dhahiri ni matumizi ya mihadarati. Jamii haina wakati wa kumshughulikia mtoto wa kiume. Hali hii imemwacha huru kufanya maamuzi yake. Uhuru usiodhibitiwa ni hatari. Uhuru huu umemfanya kutumia wakati wake apendavyo. Njia mojawapo ni katika kutumia mihadarati na kushiriki hulka nyingine ambao zina madhara makubwa. Yeye akiendelea kufanya hivyo, mwenzake wa kike anaendelea kutunzwa kwa hali na mali hata katika kiwango cha kudekezwa.

Kupuuzwa kwa mtoto wa kiume kumemfanya abaki nyuma kielimu. Hatukuwa tukishuhudia kudorora kwa matokeo ya mitihani kwa watoto wa kiume? I lakuna aliyethubutu kuhoji sababu labda kwa kuhofia kubandikwa nembo ya taasubi ya kiume. Mtoto wa kiume anapoendelea kufanya vibaya katika masomo hubaki nyuma na hata katika kuchukua nafasi za ajira baadaye. Hali hii hudhihirika kiuchumi ambapo wanaume wengi hawawezi kufikia mishahara ambayo wenzao wa kike wanapata. Wanawake pia wamepanda hata kuchukua nyadhifa muhimu katika ngazi za kitaifa na kimataifa.

Tuhuma za kuwanyanyapaa wale ambao wamekuwa wakiunga mkono juhudi za mwanamume kujiendeleza zimekuwa sumu. Sumu hii imeleta matokeo ya kuibuka kwa taasubi ya kike. Mmea wa taasubi hii umepaliliwa na kunyunyiziwa maji na mashirika ya kijamii yanayompigia debe mwanamke na hata katika vyombo vya habari kupitia kutetea haki za wanawake. Kwa muda mrefu hatukuwa na shirika lolote lililotetea haki za mtoto wa kiume au hata vipindi vilivyopigia debe juhudi za kuwainua watoto hao.

Mawazo ambayo yamekuwa yakipigiwa upatu na mashirika ya kutetea haki za mtoto wa kike na hata vyombo vya habari yamekita mizizi hata akilini mwa wazazi. Nani atapinga hili? Ithibati ya jambo hili i wazi kabisa. Ukitembea mitaani utawapata watoto wa kiume wakicheza bila suruali huku wa kike wakiwa wamevalishwa nguo nadhifu.

Nyumbani utawapata watoto wa kiume wakila vyakula vigumu huku wenzao wakila mapochopocho. Hata katika majina hili linajitokeza. Wazazi hufanya juhudi kubwa kuwachagulia majina wanao wa kike. Si ajabu nafasi ya mwanamume imeendelea kubanwa. Visa vya wanaume kupigwa na wanawake ni mojawapo ya matokeo.

Hali hii ya kuinuliwa kwa mtoto wa kike imekuwa ikifanywa bila kuzingatia mambo mengi muhimu. Jambo moja ambalo hakuna aliychoji ni; Kwa nini mtoto wa kike ainuliwe? Ikiwa ni ili afikishwe kiwango cha mwenzake wa kiume, basi alimfikia na kumpita. Kama hali ndiyo hii, basi ni muhimu mtoto wa kiume naye ainuliwe. Hili litaafikiwa ikiwa mbinu zilezile zilizotumiwa kwa mtoto wa kike zitakumbatiwa.

Suluhu itapatikana vipi? Tatizo la kutelekezwa kwa mtoto wa kiume litapewa ufumbuzi ikiwa tutapiga hatua nyuma tujiulize ni kwa nini tulihitaji kulinda haki za mtoto wa kike. Bila shaka, jambo moja litakuwa wazi kuwa mtoto wa kike alikuwa akibaki nyuma kutokana na sababu za kimazingira hasa ya kijamii. Ikaibuka haja ya kumsaidia kukabiliana na changamoto za mazingira hayo. Abadan kataan kutelekezwa kwa mtoto wa kiume hakukuwa mbinu mojawapo ya kutetea haki za mtoto wa kike.

Siku ya Geza na mwanawe kutoka hospitalini ilifika. Muuguzi aliwashauri wamtunze mtoto huyo vyema; kwamba mtoto mwenyewe hakuwa na dosari kubwa, ila alihitaji utunzaji wa makini zaidi. Maneno hayo yaliangukia masikio yaliyokuwa yametiwa nta. Hisia za unyonge na maonevu zilimkubatia Geza kiasi cha kuuycyusha utu wake. Mumewe alikuja kumchukua kutoka hospitalini.

Nyumbani mwa Geza na Kataa hamkusikika vigelegele vya kuzaliwa kwa kiumbe kipya. Geza alitoka garini kakipakata kitoto chake kama kifurushi cha karatasi ya shashi. Akafululiza moja kwa moja hadi chumbani mwake ambamo angekificha kitoto hicho kwa miaka mingi. Wageni waliwasili kukiona kitoto, wakatiliwa huku na kutolewa kule. Mara kitoto kina homa, mara kimelala...... almradi kila mara mama mtu alikuwa na uongo wa kuwazulia watu. Nao adinası hawakuwa mazumbukuku kiasi kile. Walikuwa wamesikia tetesi kutoka kwa akina pangu pakavu wa humo kijiji kuhusu hali ya mtoto huyo, navyo vitendo vya Geza viliwasaidia kupiga muhuri mawazo yao. Jambo lililowashangaza wapenda haki ni vipi mama ataweza kumfungia mtoto wake chumbani. Vipi mama huyo hakuweza hata kumpeleka mwanawe hospitalini kwa matibabu na
msaada zaidi?

Vitendo vya kikatili vya Geza havikumzuia mtoto kukua. Mwanatabu alitambaa, akasota, akasimama dede japo kwa taabu hadi akachukua hatua yake ya mwanzo na kuanza kutembea. Mama mtu aliyatazama hayo bila kuridhika Daima alimlinganisha mwanawe na wale wa majirani. Alishindwa kuelewa kwa nini mtoto wake bado anaboboja maneno tu badala ya kuzungumza kama watoto wa wifi yake.

Hata mtoto alipofikia umri wa kuenda shule, Geza alidinda kumpeleka hadi mume wake Kataa alipomlazimisha kufanya hivyo. Japo Kataa alitaka mtoto huyo apelekwe katika shule mahsusi za watoto wanaohitaji kushughulikiwa kwa makini, Geza alikataa katakata. Alimpeleka katika shule mojawapo ya umma hapo karibu akidai kuwa hapana pesa kwani mtoto wao wa kiume ambaye alizaliwa miaka miwili baada ya Mwanatabu kuzaliwa, alihitaji kushughulikiwa pia.

Mwanatabu aliingia shuleni na kujipata katika lindi kubwa la simanzi. Kwa vile alikuwa amezoea kuishi amefungiwa ndani asije akaonekana na kuchekwa na watu, alipata shida nyingi kuingiliana na watoto wengine. Kila alipowaona wenzake alikimbilia mwalimu kwa usalama. Mawasiliano nayo yalikuwa magumu kwani Mwanatabu hakuwa amemudu kuzungumza vyema. Mwalimu alipozungumza naye Mwanatabu alikenua meno tu na kusema maneno ambayo yalimwia vigumu mwalimu kuyafasiri.

Siku za mwanzomwanzo mwalimu alivumilia akidhani hilo lilikuwa tatizo dogo tu. Baadaye aliona kwamba hafikii popote, kwani kwa sababu ya kutoweza kuwasiliana vyema na wanafunzi wenzake, mwana huyu alizua mbinu ya kuwawezesha wenzake kumsikiliza. Alianza kuwachapa na kuwawinga kama ndege wawingwavyo kutoka shamba la mtama. Mwalimu hakusita kuwaita wavyele wa Mwanatabu ambao bila shaka walikiri mtoto wao alikuwa na tatizo tangu kuzaliwa.

Mwalimu mkuu wa shule hiyo aliwashauri wampeleke Mwanatabu katika hospitali ambamo mna kliniki ya kuwazoesha watoto kuzungumza. Aidha, aliwatafutia shule mahsusi ya watoto walio na tatizo kama la Mwanatabu.

Hivi sasa, Geza hukumbuka kwa uchungu na jitimai kubwa jinsi alivyokuwa amepania kumtelekeza mwanawe katika hali mbaya ati kwa sababu kazaliwa na upungufu wa kihali na kimwili. Mara tu baada ya Mwanatabu kupelekwa kwa matibabu zaidi na kusomea katika mazingira yaliyomfaa zaidi hali yake ilianza kuimarika. Aliweza kuzungumza. Maendeleo yake katika masomo yaliimarika, nao walimu hawakusita kutambua hayo na kumpeleka katika shule ya kawaida. Hivi sasa amehitimu masomo ya chuo kikuu. Amewafaa watoto wengi walio na matatizo ya kimaumbile. Maisha yake ni funzo na dhihirisho kuwa hakuna binadamu ambaye hawezi kutekeleza majukumu kama wengine akipewa fursa ipasavyo.

In the better days, he had worked very hard and built himself a house and bought some goats and sheep. However, things turned upside down for him without a warning. He lost both parents almost simultaneously and as if to add insult to injury, robbers broke into his home soon after. They carted away whatever could be of value to them, including the goats and sheep. So, he left his homeland in a kind of protest.

Word had been going round of a peaceful and welcoming community in the neighbouring country. It is there that Tira decided to go and try his luck. He knew it would not be easy to settle down there but somehow, it would be better than what he had been through at his native home. It was a long journey by lorry; the only means of transport that could cover the distance and was affordable. He carried very little and had a very good reason for it.

Tira was warmly received by his kinsmen who had settled there carlier. He was put up in a home as he looked for moncy to construct his own house. In a few months, he had a modest home of his own but that did not satisfy him. He worked so hard that in his second year there, he was the one giving shelter to new people from his homeland. His herd and flock had grown to big numbers and this made him gain respect among the others. It was not doubtful anymore; Tira was destined for bigger things.

Tira's return to his native home was just as impromptu as his departure from there had been. News reached him that land was being demarcated back at home and that his cousins were allocating themselves his parcels.

Oral thrush is especially common in infants and the elderly, especially if they wear dentures.It is common in people with weaked immune system such as in the case of HIV victims.

Another group that can easily be affected by oral thrush is people with diabetes. It is often the first symptom to indicate one has diabetes; simply because people visit the dentist more often than the general physician. People who have diabetes can also be more likely to suffer from dry mouth. Since the mouth needs to be well hydrated to maintain a healthy balance of bacteria, a diabetic person with dry mouth is more likely to suffer from oral thrush.

With leukoplakia, thickened white patches form on gums, the inside of cheeks, the bottom of mouth and sometimes, on the tongue. These patches can't be scrapped off. The cause of leukoplakia is not yet known though doctors relate it to habitual use of tobacco either by smoking, dipping or chewing.

Lastly, there is the oral lichen planus which is a chronic inflammatory condition that affects mucous membranes inside the mouth. It may appear as white, lacy patches; red, swollen tissues or open sores that may cause burning, pain or discomfort.
