Meeting leaders and building a trustworthy network has always been advantageous for the human race. Considering this fact Sheikh Umar Farooq Zahoor has shown his wisdom by continuously investing his time in meeting popular, inspiring &

influential leaders of nations across the globe. Instead of being a very occupied person has decided to meet such personalities who are inspiring, holding visions of brotherhood, compassion & harmony.

Taking this belief a step further and proceeding towards his long-term vision aligned with the welfare of the nations across the globe, he recently met the former president of Tanzania Jakaya Mrisho. The fourth president of Tanzania is a very well-known personality and talking about his presidency, his citizens were very satisfied when he was appointed as a president of a republic nation between the office tenure of 2005 to 2015.

Let’s discuss this in detail to get further insights of the meeting and growth-oriented conclusions that were highlighted while strengthening the bilateral relations.

Umar Farooq Zahoor: A Popular Business Tycoon

Sheikh Umar Farooq Zahoor is one of the most popular and influential personalities in the present world. He has won millions of hearts in his personal and professional aspects. In addition, he has won many awards over the years as one of the best

Norwegian-Pakistani businessmen. Presently he resides in Dubai with ample luxury. He was also the former director of AMERI Group, presently successfully handling business, investors in many companies, and entrepreneurs.

Not only this he is a role model for many youngsters residing in Dubai and other nations of the world. Apart from these achievements, he has always been a generous man who gets involved in helping needy people. During hardships like global pandemic he courageously helped businesses and people in need.

The Big COVID Real Estate Downfall & Umar Farooq Zahoor’s Concerns

Two years back the trend of the property industry lowering real estate prices was created. And this trend was expected to worsen soon. It is a well-evaluated fact that 30% of housing supplies are made solely by Villas. The lowering of rental prices of Villas & Houses continues to fall due to the cutting of jobs because of COVID. Still, the Housing market in Abu Dhabi had performed well in compassion to the other neighbouring states around Dubai. In those nations, the fluctuating demands had hampered prices.

Furthermore, in successive years many economists claimed that it would probably take two years to recover. But, in such a situation also influential & wise people like Sheikh Umar Farooq Zahoor considered it as an opportunity to evaluate and reassess. This reassessment and reevaluation contributed to global reluctance for investing in a volatile economic situation.

Further, this led to a change in the work model, i.e. hybrid model. Everyone currently is quite familiar with this model. The majority of staff chose to work remotely for at least two days as per the survey when it was initially introduced, later many switched it as a permanent work model.

Jakaya Mrisho Kikwete: Fourth President of Tanzania

The FLANA Report - Are ALL our children learning?

Anybody interested in education, should look through some of the graphs in this very accessible report on the state of Kenyan education. As a follow on to the the vital call to action on education across Africa, by Nana Akufo-Addo and Jakaya Kikwete (see my last post), this report clearly shows what a country like Kenya needs to do to raise the standard for all children.

The solutions are pretty simple. Books, teachers, better teacher training, schools with basic facilities as standard. It is entirely achievable, people just need to want it enough to make it happen.

However, it isn't easy for parents who have never been to school themselves, to recognize what good education looks like, or even how much it is needed. Which is one of the reasons schools such as ours are so important, the are an example of what can be done. They are a beacon lighting the way for others to follow.

A state funeral for Finland's former president Martti Ahtisaari is being held in Helsinki on Friday 10 November.

President Ahtisaari's funeral begins with a service in Helsinki's Lutheran Cathedral at 1 pm when his coffin will be carried into the church with generals and admirals serving as pallbearers.

Hufvudstadsbladet writes that the public can follow the funeral procession on city streets as it makes its way from the cathedral to Hietaniemi Cemetery. The procession is scheduled to begin at 2:45 pm with the cortege escorted by mounted policemen.

Among the guests expected to be in attendance at the funeral are Sweden's King Carl XVI Gustaf, Kosovo's President Vjosa Osmani, Namibia's President Hage Geingob, Tanzania's former President Jakaya Kikwete, and the chair of The Elders group, Ireland's former president Mary Robinson.

The burial at Hietaniemi Cemetery will be attended only by Finland's state leadership and family members.

Top health threats

Mika Salminen, the newly appointed director general of Finland's THL, the Institute for Health and Welfare, discussed what currently threatens the health of people in Finland with Helsingin Sanomat, which notes that "it is not the coronavirus."

Asked about the biggest challenges to health in the country right now, Salminen pointed the problems of lack of physical activity, increased obesity, and the mental health of young people.

Regarding mental health, Salminen highlighted efforts to promote planetary health and well-being. Climate change and the threats it brings are one thing that puts a strain on young people's mental health, Salminen explained. That's why, he said, the health and social services sector also has to take responsibility for combating climate change.

As HS notes, Finland aims to eradicate the use of nicotine by 2030. Salminen expressed satisfaction with the increased popularity of not smoking, but regarding young people, the new head of THL raised concerns about the use of various other nicotine products.

"With nicotine pouches and snus and vaping products, there is a risk that there will be a setback and an increase in nicotine addiction," he says.

Over the past few weeks, there have been again growing concerns about the spread of coronavirus.

"Now the situation is that, unfortunately, the coronavirus is here to stay. Waves will come and go. The situation is fortunate in the sense that many people have taken vaccines and many have protection from coming down with it. Very few get very seriously ill anymore," Mika Salminen pointed out.

On that topic, Ilta-Sanomat carries an interview with Minister of Social Security Sanni Grahn-Laasonen (NCP) who commented on the current backlog of vaccinations.

While stressing that Ministry of Social Affairs and Health takes the situation seriously, she pointed out that the vaccination programme is the responsibility of the nation's regional wellbeing counties.

The social affairs and health ministry is urging regional health authorities to speed up the roll out of booster vaccinations for the elderly as well as people in risk groups. Grahn-Laasonen described the situation of overcrowded vaccination points as "unreasonable", especially for the elderly.

The good old days

Was life in Finland better in past years? About one in five Finns who were asked that question in a new poll answered "yes".

Carried out by the pollster Taloustutkimus and published by the Uutissuomalainen news group, three-quarters of respondents said that life in Finland is now better, or just as good, as in past decades.

Antto Vihma, a research professor at the Institute of Foreign Policy who has studied nostalgia as a social and cultural phenomenon considered the results of the survey as what he would expect.

"It may sound radical that 22 percent think that life in Finland is worse, when so many things affecting everyday life have progressed and developed. For many, however, a nostalgic relationship with the past cancels this out," said Vihma.

Vihma considers it possible that the events of recent years, such as the pandemic and the war in Ukraine, were reflected in the results of the survey.

"People feel that we are now living in a time of crises. It would be interesting to know how this question would have been answered in the 1990s, for example," he added.

The survey was carried out as telephone interviews July 10–21, 2023, and included responses from 1,001 people.

The share of those who prefer the present day increased with age and was highest in the oldest group of respondents. The youngest age group had relatively the most respondents who think that life used to be better.

Taloustutkimus Research Manager Jussi Westinen pointed out that the "past decades" mentioned in the question mean different decades for different age groups.

According to Antto Vihma, the age group-specific results differ slightly from what is known about feelings of nostalgia based on previous studies.

"Generally, people start longing for the past in middle age, and after that, the longing continues steadily until old age. In this survey, there is a clear jump around the age of 50. Older people are clearly more satisfied with the present than younger people. I would explain this by the fact that the oldest age groups place the "past decades" mentioned in the question further back in history than the younger ones do," he explained.

The poll also asked people what they most miss from the Finland of past decades.

The top answer was that Finns most want their fellow countrymen to behave according to certain norms again.

What was most often longed-for is interpersonal care, respect for good manners and decent behavior, and respect for authority. About 80–85 percent of those interviewed said these values were more common in the past and that they miss them.

Cold weather returning

Ilta-Sanomat tells readers that a noticeable change in the weather is on the way.

It reports that the latest monthly forecast from the Foreca meteorological service shows colder temperatures next week.

Mild weather will continue in southern parts of the country on Father's Day, Sunday. However, over the course of the day, the weather will cool down, turning rain to snow showers in central regions.

On Monday, snow may also be seen in southern Finland.

Next week's temperatures will be mostly below freezing. The end of the week will see temperatures in the range of -3C to -10C and in Finnish Lapland, -10C to -25C, in some places as low at -30C at night.

OPINION: A political watcher of Kenya enjoys drawing parallels between William Ruto’s unbridled bid for the presidency and Edward Lowassa’s in Tanzania in 2015. Much as Lowassa is assumedly retired, there are no bounds to learning lessons. It is indisputable that Lowassa had a dogged determination to ascend to the top much like with Ruto.
