The overwhelming majority of Somalis know what Taleex represented and still does as its steeped in our history as SOMALI but Qardho? Forgive me for my ignorance but I would say Qardho has no significant history to the rest of the Somali population except to those who are born and bred there and if it has then I apologize for my ignorance and blame it on the government that didn't teach us about it unlike Taleex which is why I would argue even my neighbourhood in Kismayo which is called Calanleey is more famous than Qardho as Calanleey produced more national celebrities compared to Qardho and even Muuse Boqor himself (May Allah s.w have mercy on his soul) and Baashi would agree with me on that. Peace, Love & Unity.

Dear Comrade: You give us hope whenever we feel hopeless you put a smile on our faces when all we do is frown you make us laugh when all we want to do is break down & cry you make us glee with pride when we want to get up and flee you wipe away our tears & chase away all the fears you tell us not to crumble in this crazy world of jungle you encourage us when everyone else is quick to discourage you inspire us to achieve everything we aspire to achieve you are our shining light that makes our world bright we're no royal but to our cause you always remain loyal you treasure our laughter when all they seek is our pleasure you plead with those that mislead and make us bleed you told us to hold our heads high and stand tall above all you make us believe when we never had a self belief your words bring us timely relief that soften our deep grief you gave us access to courage that shall lead to our success you told us to be brave and refuse to be pain's slave you love the people of motherland and cherish the sand in your hand you heal our pain with your words and we beg the lord to heal yours may almighty protect you and our reunion we expect. Yours Truly Children Of Somalia. Peace, Love & Unity.

Lost Cause: Today I walked out of my front door with hope hoping to smell the fragrance of pollution inhaled all of my problems and exhaled solutions conclusions rise while my downfall is in clear sight this isn't right...who cut out the light? I hate the night it brings me to dark corners where I keep myself contained as the children cry the tears of pain that conjure up the rain the weight of the stress bring the rest of the storm in the form of thunderous noise the sails of sinking ships filled with the wind of my gasping breaths I have had the leftist point of view no wonder I couldn't find the right clues to figure out the puzzle of this struggle it's so deep Osman would be perfectly suitable my cubicle in which I work for the jerk that lurks beyond the halls I have turned into a ball so I no longer will have to suffer in the corner of my flash flood instead I enjoy pulling your patience from within my sphere of fear within my heart while you shall have to endure the hesitation until I detach you from my grasp and my thoughts you shall find careless fun after the last hug. Peace, Love & Unity.

I don't give a monkey's behind about him being the first black or the last black whatever all I KNOW is he won’t do nothing for me as a Muslim and as a Somali so as far as I'm concerned he can kiss his Jewish masters behind from here all the way to Tel Aviv for all I care... Abu-Geel...why would it even be surprise to you that he vowed to support the yahood, what did you expect? You don't think they 'Elected' him because they liked his 'tan' like Berlusconi said now do you? I bet you he wont even do one bit for the millions of the poor black people in the American ghettos who are suffering beyond belief in every sense of the word let alone Palestinians...these Somalis who hail him as their messiah make me laugh...I never thought I would ever come across Somalis as naïve as they are...just because he put on Somali attire for publicity and suddenly we think like he cares about our cause...give me a break.

Barakah. Sharaf. Karamah. All these words are Arabic guys...come with Somali (I doubt it if you'd find it) I think what we should focus here is how many percentage of our language is Arabic...I heard some odoyaal claiming it to be between 35%-40%...I don't know. PS. in my opinion there's nothing more sacred to Somali than his/her Qabiil...what do you think the old men mean when they talk about...'Magaca iyo Sharafteena Meel ha uga Dhicin' Salam Aleikum W.W Peace, Love & Unity.

Sayid...I'm sorry bro but...I blatantly REFUSE to be governed by a bilcaan and I'd rather be a rebel than submit to this girl who's even younger than my last born granddaughter... I will follow the footsteps of certain Abdullahi Yusuf and create the first ever SOL government rebel group and oppose this (corrupt) lady leader to my last breath. If she is good at negotiations then she knows where to find me and I will welcome her as long as she comes with few dozens of loaded XL briefcases. :cool: Peace, Love & Unity.

That is my last born son and if my last born son is that old...imagine how old his daddy would be? By the way guess who I met couple of days ago? I met a Scottish dude who speaks Somali better than a lot of SOLers and he even sings the Somali national anthem and even understands the words one by one and God forgive me I lied and told him my buddy (you) can speak and write better Somali than you will in a million years and he happens to be Irish-Canadian...you should've seen the poor fellow when I said that to him...he was heartbroken...he really was until I confessed and told him that you're there and thereabout but one thing you have over him is the dress sense as he still dresses unlike Somali while you even inherited our lack of style sense which I have to admit left me in stitches because in that pic you really dress like a Somali dude...the only thing missing is the crazy colours that we like to mix and match but don't dispair as there's still a hope and whos to say it wont be long before you even become as colour blind as we are.

Waraa adiga how did you get access to all these Nomads' birth certificates? Waryaa heedhe you're beginning to scare me here because I'm someone who loves being private and cherishes his privacy and I wouldn't like it if a certain Somaliland CID called Rooble violated my privacy... so Mr Zu how many centuries are you celebrating now?

I've been a formula one fan for a quite sometime now and I've never watched more dramatic race than the one I just have where I honestly thought Lewis blew it when Vettel overtook him at the last lap but as luck would have it the Toyota guy Gloc lost grip as he was running on dry weather tires... as you may know winning your first championship in any sport is THE HARDEST and now that he's got that out of the way I believe he will go on to dominate F1 for quite sometime and I will not be surprised if this guy goes on to become the greatest F1 driver ever as he has all the necessary ingredients to become just that. Peace, Love & Unity.
