Ken Walibora: The Passing of a Prolific Writer

The Kenyan author Ken Walibora who was buried last week left behind a generation of fans who read his books in Swahili classes, including the BBC's Basillioh Mutahi.

Prof Walibora was renowned for promoting Swahili, the national language he used in writing his books.

In 2018 he expressed concern that some schools in Kenya had notices reading: "This is an English-speaking zone".

He asked the ministry of education why it would allow students to be barred from speaking in Swahili, when it was a national language.

The author said this was a sign of brainwashing and neo-colonialism. You would not find another country that would choose a foreign language over the language of its people, he said

.His most prominent book was his first novel Siku Njema which was later translated to English as A Good Day. It was used as a set book in high schools around the country for many years.

Many Kenyans who read it in school have spoken about how the novel, a tale of triumph over adversity, helped them love Swahili literature - which is something Kenyans often find difficult to do.

Our neighbours in Tanzania are supposed to be the most proficient speakers of this language used as a lingua franca by around 100 million people across East Africa.

• Born on 6 January 1965 as Kennedy Waliaula in Baraki, Bungoma county, in western Kenya
• Later changed his identity to Walibora, the latter part of his surname which means "better" in Swahili. He also shortened his first name to Ken
• Worked as a teacher and a probation officer before he became a journalist. He has also served as a professor of the Kiswahili language in the US and Kenya
• Died on 10 April after he was hit by a bus in downtown Nairobi, the police initially reported
• He had been reported missing for five days when his body was found at the mortuary of Kenya's main referral hospital, the Kenyatta National Hospital
• The police's homicide department have since taken over investigations into his death after a post-mortem by the government pathologist revealed he had a knife wound on the space between his thumb and the index finger
• Buried on 21 April at his home in western Kenya in a funeral attended by not more than 15 people, due to the regulations imposed to stop the spread of coronavirus
• His widow and two children did not attend as they could not leave the US, where they live, due to Covid-19 travel restrictions

Coronavirus: 'One billion' could become infected worldwide'

One billion people could become infected with the coronavirus worldwide unless vulnerable countries are given urgent help, an aid group has warned.

The International Rescue Committee (IRC) said financial and humanitarian aid were needed to help slow the global spread of the virus.

It said "fragile countries" such as Afghanistan and Syria needed "urgent funding" to avoid a major outbreak.

"There remains a small window of time to mount a robust response," it warned.

There have been more than 3m confirmed cases of Covid-19 worldwide with more than 200,000 deaths, according to Johns Hopkins University in the US.

The IRC's report, which is based on models and data from the World Health Organization (WHO) and Imperial College London, estimated there could be between 500m and 1bn infections globally.

It also said there could be more than 3m deaths across dozens of conflict-affected and unstable countries.

How To Teach Engish Online

By Pooja Mishra

Are you searching for online jobs? There are plenty of online jobs available on the internet, from where you can earn decent money.

However, among those lists, the easiest and more accessible online job is being an online tutor. I am saying this because online tutoring job has more advantages over the other online jobs.

The best thing about online tutoring is you can earn as much as you want and the remuneration is higher.

So why don't you choose the best option available for you where you can make decent revenue in less time with minimum effort.

Anyone with the sound knowledge about a subject can become an online tutor. Being an online tutor nowadays is bliss. One can easily make money by spending a few hours on online tutoring sites.

The best part of being an online tutor is one can opt it as a part-time earning option or as a full-time job. Both are profitable.

Why should you become an online tutor?

In the era of technology, most of us do not utilize our time properly. If you know how to make your spare time valuable or if you have learned to make it profitable, nothing would be better than this.

Online tutoring is one of the emerging career options in this decade. It does not demand a particular profession or particular degree.

Some website may require your educational background and some may ask for experience. However, many websites demand only your expertise in any subject, and you can start teaching online.

I have listed down both kind of websites. So why are you wasting your time? If you have not started yet, start today. Otherwise, after a few years, you will be left behind the masses.

Advantages of being an online tutor

1. Online tutoring jobs give flexibility of working hours. (You can choose your working hours, whether in the morning or evening and you can select the number of working hours also.)

7. Suitable for the homemaker to generate extra income for the family.
8. A regular source of income.
9. Total earning will depend on you. The more time you will devote on teaching the more money you can make.

How much can you earn with Online Tutoring Jobs?

It depends on many factors like which subject you are teaching, number of working hours etc. Some websites ask for previous teaching experience, and they pay really well, and some websites do not ask for experience.

If you are fresher in this field or you are a student, and you have good command over any one subject, then also you can start teaching with websites which do not ask for experience.

Salary range varies from INR 10,000 to 100,000 per month (depends on many factors). Some sites also give flexibility, where you can decide your fees per hour.

Where can you find an online tutoring job?

I will list down all the legitimate websites of both the kind I have mentioned earlier. You can directly apply to these websites.

Some websites hire when there is a vacancy like MeritNation, and on some sites, anyone can teach with sound knowledge of the subject like Chegg.

One more thing you can do. You can make your profile on Naukri.com as an online tutor. They will update you regarding the vacancy created on any online websites.

Things you need, to become an online tutor

1. It would be best if you have a passion for teaching.
2. You need to have a good internet connection and a laptop or personal computer.
3. You should know how to create video lectures or presentation files (if required).
4. It would help if you are aware of web-based software like whiteboard, blackboard and digital pen etc. and if you know how to use it.
5. You should have a digital pen and writing pad (some firms provide it).
6. You must have excellent communication skills.
7. You should have the sound knowledge of the subject which you are going to teach.

Online tutoring jobs are best for graduate homemaker, college students, the retired teacher this is emerging as the best source for extra income. Nowadays this profession is opted by working professionals also.

How can you become an online tutor?

The process of recruitment is different for different online firms, and they mention it on their website. You have to apply through their websites.

Most common procedures are: you have to submit a copy of your education certificates and resume. They will take a test or interview before recruitment. Some of them also demand demo lectures.

You have to choose subjects you want to teach, and accordingly, you will be tested for that subject. You have to show your expertise in the selected domain.

You can also choose more than one subject to teach on some websites.

Moreover, for subjects like Math, English, Chemistry etc. it is lower (Rs 75-90 per question).

12. Udemy

This is different from the other online tutoring sites I have mentioned above. You have to create some videos or courses and post it on Udemy. If people buy your course then only you get money.

However, the advantage is that it is a one-time investment. If people liked your video, they would keep buying in future, and from one course you can generate decent money in future.

So you have to ensure you make quality content. The amount of money you can make on Udemy will depend on the type of course which you have created.

You can create courses on all kind of subjects, for example, Digital Marketing, Programming Languages, Leadership Skills, Communication Skills, Mathematics etc.

It gives you the freedom to choose your topic or any subject to create videos. You can decide the price of your course.

The process of becoming an online tutor is very easy. Through their app, you have to upload a demo lecture, and within few hours you will get approved, and you will be listed as a tutor.

The remuneration is low, but the videos you create here can be used as an experience to get work on other websites. (you have to download ‘unacademy tutor app' to become a tutor on Unacademy).

Most of the websites I have shown above are based in India. There are many international websites that pay well for online tutoring jobs. However, their process of application is lengthy and bit difficult.

I will recommend you should go with these websites when you have some good experience in online teaching. With your experience, you can earn more from these websites.

They take more time to approve you as an online tutor. Some of those US/UK based popular online tutoring sites are:

15. Tutor.com
16. Tutorme.com
17. TutorVista
18. MyTutor24
19. Brainfuse
20. Skooli

All the online tutoring websites I have listed in one place. But the cherry on the cake is still to come. And here it is:

So cherry on the cake is ENGLISH.

Here I have listed down the websites from where you can get handsome money by teaching English or any language to the students.

English is the most demanding language of all time. Its fashion and passion will never fade.

People of India or the other countries, where English is not the mother tongue (like China, Japan, Korea), face problem in learning international languages.

They recruit teachers from all over the world who have good command in the English language and are fluent in speaking English.

You can easily get recruited if you have the expertise in this language or any other foreign language.

I have also listed one Indian Website that is Ufaber, where you can teach English language or can take speaking English classes.

1. TheFluentlife.com

You can call them or email them to apply for a tutor.

2. Italki

Italki is HongKong based company. Not only English but you can also teach another foreign language on Italki if you have good command over any language.

The best part of this international website is that you can also teach Hindi language to students.

You have to create a video profile talking about your introduction and your expertise in the language you want to teach. Based on that students will pick you as a tutor. You will be paid for each session.

3. Fluentify

Fluentify is different from other. Because it strictly demands 2-year teaching experience and certification in English language (TEFL Certificate).

However, if you have this, you can apply here because its remuneration is quite higher than other websites. Becoming tutor on this website is little tricky.

4. Preply

On PrePly, you can teach English, Hindi and other foreign languages. This website does not demand experience to teach any language.

Here you have to create your video profile, talking about yourself and your education qualification and knowledge of the language etc. and you have to upload on the website.

They will give a rating on your video. On Preply, they also provide you with the option to teach Math, computer and other subjects.

However, mostly it is known for online language learning classes.

5. VIP kids

VIP kids is a China-based firm. You can teach spoken English or basic school grades level English to Chinese students.

After submitting application, you have to appear in their test or interview and when there is vacancy they will hire you.

Working with these websites, one can easily turn their passion into a profession and their spare time into a profitable one. So do not sit back and start earning.

Mysterious Deaths Grip Kano, Nigeria

Kano State Governor Umar Ganduje yesterday directed the state Ministry of Health to carry out verbal autopsy to determine the cause of the recent wave of strange deaths in the state.

Verbal autopsy is a method of gathering information about symptoms and circumstances for a deceased individual to determine their cause of death. Health information and a description of events prior to death are acquired from conversations or interviews with a person or persons familiar with the deceased. These are then analysed by health professionals or computer algorithms to assign likely cause(s) of death.

The governor, according to a statement issued by Commissioner for Information Muhammad Garba, directed a combined team from the Ministry of Health and the National Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) to undertake the investigation across the eight local government areas within Kano city.

The statement reads: “I am pleased to inform the good people of Kano State that verbal autopsy to determine the real cause of the deaths of our citizens who lost their lives over the weekend has begun in earnest.Following the directive of the governor, health experts from the state Ministry of Health and the NCDC have been drafted to visit the families and relatives of the dead so as to trace their medical history, with a view to ascertaining what really led to their deaths.

“Our primary healthcare system has also been re-activated across the 44 local government areas to guarantee easy access to healthcare delivery, even as we continue to battle the dreaded COVID-19 pandemic.”

Ganduje, who called for calm, urged residents to continue to adhere strictly to the advice by health experts on how to avoid contracting COVID-19.

“At this point, all of us must come together, irrespective of religious and political affiliations, to overcome this health challenge facing our great state.

“We solicit the cooperation of religious leaders, political leaders, opinion leaders, community leaders, traditional rulers and every other stakeholder to enlighten our people on the need to stay safe and stay healthy.

“The state government also wishes to passionately appeal to residents to religiously observe the lockdown order, stay at home, observe personal hygiene, wash their hands regularly, observe social distancing and also pray fervently for the end of this dark era of the novel COVID-19 pandemic.

“Together, we shall win this war. This turbulent time shall pass away. We shall come out stronger and better; and our dear state will be great again,” he added.

At the weekend, the Kano State government had acknowledged and decried the rising death rates in the state, although it declared none was caused by COVID-19.

Donald Trump angers China by warning US may seek damages over virus

China accused US politicians of telling lies to distract from their own performance, shortly after US President Donald Trump renewed his verbal attacks on China.

Worldwide the number of people confirmed to have coronavirus has risen to more than three million, and at least 211,000 have died, according to data compiled by Johns Hopkins University. Some 894,000 people have recovered.

US President Donald Trump returned to his daily press briefings after a few days' absence to attack China over its handling of the coronavirus, saying his administration was conducting "serious investigations" into what happened.

The United Nations human rights chief has warned countries flouting the rule of law in the name of fighting the pandemic risks sparking a "human rights disaster"

China lab rejects COVID-19 conspiracy claims

Claims that the coronavirus pandemic originated in a laboratory in the Chinese city of Wuhan have no basis in fact, the head of the lab told Reuters, adding that there were still no conclusive answers as to where the disease started.

Conspiracy theorists have claimed SARS-CoV-2, now responsible for more than 200,000 deaths worldwide, was synthesised by the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV), based in the city where the disease was first identified.

Though the scientific consensus is that the coronavirus evolved naturally, such claims have gained traction. US President Donald Trump said on April 15 that his government was investigating whether it had originated in the Wuhan lab.
