My grandmother during her late aging years in Isiolo, Kenya suffered some explanatory delusions that were obvious to everyone, but she always was wrestling with Leonard Mamabo mbotela words.She used to curse at the people who were accused of doing injustice...I remember we used to have a blast when she yelled at the radio....I wish We can find a clip of his shows on youtube... PS I was surprised that the kids at the wedding were at ease with the swahili songs! EDIT:Nin Yaban....I doubt if they do it as a isweyninn (SP?).I can't speak for every sijui, but the ones I know are more proud to be associated with Somali.I guess you haven't seen a sijui Somalilander who will argue that he is more somali than you...lol

Malika, Nisha vunja kiuno kihalali last weekend kwenye wedding ya cousin wangu..sasa ni wakati wa vijana lol

Toronto Here I come this week....my COUSIN IS a DJ there I'm hoping to have a blast there before Ramadhan and the Shit-hole starts (school)

Katitu Boys "Wewe ni useless, wewe ni baseless, wewe ni call box ya kutmumiwa na kila mtu I was at a Sijui wedding last weekend in another State and a friend had this song on his rental car....Funny PS The DJ at the wedding had a good Swahili wedding songs selections...there are many Somalia born kids who grew up in Kenya that speak perfect Swahili.Sign of a time?

Hahaa Hahaaa...this gotta be the funniest story. Woe is Somalia!

I had a similar problem.One of my work (I doubt if it even had the status to be called a work) was copied from facebook (this was back when I was FB addict) and posted here on SOL.I think the guy didn't realized I was a long time residence of SOL.At first I thought I was some weirdo with Multiple personality posting his writtings under different pseudo-names.It took me a second to figure it out what happened.I didn't embarassed the fellow, but I made sure to notify the moderators in a civil way.I didn't get any ANSWER, but I assumed the adminstration handled it.For all i care I can be buffoon or even a boring bust as long as I don't represent other people's work as mine. Stealing other people's work without citing the source is being ethically challenged!

Samir iyo Iman Che.God Bless his soul!

At the risk of exposing myself I’d like to talk about a meeting I attended last Saturday in downtown Washington DC. A group of us gathered in a conference room in Hyatt hotel in downtown Washington DC.In the days up to the preparation for these meeting I’d be lying if I say doubt didn’t crack through my confidence in seeing fruition of having this meeting happening-as anything involving Somali is always shaky. I was impressed and honored to meet people like DR. Amal ( a professional and classy lady), Dr Mohamed, Dr. Keyse, Dr. Sahrla, and many dental students from different schools around the US. An active commitment toward networking was made by the doctors and the students that attended this meeting. This was one of the great meetings I have ever attended. I was honored to meet these people. I drew an important lesson from this meeting. The first that Somalis can build something small and beautiful in a professional manner and second that YES we can follow leaders sometimes and let others lead us when they are knowledgeable. Thanks to ALL those dentists who showed up and gave as the foot-in-the-door technique in becoming a great dentist and also entrepreneurs.

Its 2:00 0clock in the morning and the only people I can think of is Indians/Pakistanis.. .though I have many "friends" from this community I still hate them people....lol

This bring back memories back in my undergrad years I used to work in an entomology laboratory where we used to identify all kind of spiders for reserach purpose especially the brown recluse spider, (Doctors were Incorrectly diagnosing MRSA (methicillin-resista nt Staphylococcus aureus for you NERDS) as a spider bite)-the six eyed one with three pairs.The research was published in journal of medical entomology after I left (missed an opportunity of my name being on a journal).

Juxa, I know title and prestige doesn't mean anything to my friend (who by the way is a Somali guy)...I was talking to him last night if he ever did all the initials behind his name for the money and prestige and I was surprised that he did it for number one; it was his childhood dream and number two Allah made it easy for him to do well both in medical school and residency.This guy can go to Somalia today and do all the surgery one can think of at ease....I believed him when he said if it was for the money he would have easily specialized in dermatology and make the bank, but he is an asset to his fellow human beings....

Buuxo, Mimi nataka kuvuruga watu...(disturbing the peace)... PS: Am staying at my friends house who is a a chief resident surgery medical doctor and I'm stirring at these huge books and big binders next to the computer and I'm wondering when does the poor soul has time to READ all this material? He is never home-big house to myself.I was listening to Obama pitch for a better medical insurance and I can say that these doctors sometimes deserve a better pay for all the gruesome training!

If I have nothing better to do (No job, no life) am I allowed to come here and say morning? I'll only say morning to the smelly students on summer break...and the rest of "hardworking" trollers Morning Loosers!!!! PS Already planing for the weekened.Last weekend went to six-flags (ritual for every summer) and next weekend????

Nuune, athiguu reer Somaliyaa baat taahaay kalexoo....

Paragon, no need to sue warembo wa kushtuwa.Lakini naipenda kuwaona wao malkiya wanaongara kama nyota za bingu...yaonekana kio yawapambaza (the mirror is fooling you)

Ofcourse ofcourse, their girls are absolutely stunning and as good natured as any proper Somali girl should be. I am proud for them. Heck, the girls of the OG (whether in Qabri Dahare or Saaqqaa) are simply the prettiest girls in all of Somali inhabited lands Qurbaha included. Sikubaliani na hayo maneno.Wasichana wa OG ni warembo kwa Somali wote, heh? Watu wa Garissa ni wabagusi (Racist for lack of better term)....

^ I can't go to sleep.I haven't slept all night.I even went to masjid for Salat Fajr.I chewed khat last night and now I'm in deep shiit...I guess i need to leave qat to the pros...Atleast I prayed in jamacaa, but too bad my eyes were full like dear....I need my sleep!!

Any politician who doesn't want to jeopardize his marriage and his career by cheating on his wife this is the PERFECT day.All the media outlet is busy with Michael Jackson memorial.What a good day to do all the sneaking, lying scheming and other covert activities one can think of if you are public figure!

Woow check the transformation from this to this ...Loon was part of P/diddy crew.I remember when they did I need a girl.Being from Philly I can understand why many African Americans convert to Islam, but they too often get caught up with Salafi/sect division. There is no One day the Imam doesn't do khutba about personal responsibility and social mobility.I'm happy for the brother and anyone who converts to this beautiful religion!

CL, hehe...misuli zako inaweza kuvuta mkokoteni..acha kuwa mpenda raha kama paka kwenye duka ya mhindi. PS: Acha niwa chekeshe wewe na malika..mshikaji wangu ni mlendo aliye lelewa marekani (amekuja hapa akiwa miaka miwili)Basi siku mmoja aka niuliza kama mimi kuwamsijui itaweza kulete tatizo kwa babayake wakati wazee wangu wataenda kumwuliza babake amuoze msichana wake kwa kijana yao...alikuwa anathani sijui ni KABILA..nimecheka mpaka mbavu umeniuma...Kutokea siku hiyo nimejuwa watoto wa marekani hawajui ukabila!

CL, wakenya wanasema ni mtindo wa kisasa kuvuta mkokoteni...Vuka baharini tuanze biashara ya mkokoteni.. PS I used to think Paragon ni mlendo...

^I was 8-4-4 product...I did high school in Kenya....remember we use to sing Harambee..Nyayo! What a bull that was!

Malika, Mlima ni ndefu na ni nzito kama nanga za meli. Nilipo hesabu miaka nilicho kimbizana na masomo...(8 years primary school, 4years high school, 4years college, and 3 more years to go)...Ya rabi! EDIT: Malika, am heading down there this wednesday...I'll pass your regards to the old lady!
