Teen honoured for saving blind man's life KEVIN MCGRAN TRANSPORTATION REPORTER Osman Hersi dismissed his own fears to save the life of a blind man who had fallen to the tracks at the Sheppard subway station and lay unconscious. And yesterday the 17-year-old student was honoured by the TTC for his bravery. Surrounded by family and friends, Hersi told TTC commissioners what happened at 8:25 a.m. on June 8 while on his way to school. "When he fell in, I thought to myself, `Get this guy out as quick and as safe as possible,'" Hersi said. "I knew the third rail had electricity, so I tried to avoid that. When I jumped in, I lifted up the guy, who was unconscious. I jumped up myself. And a minute or so later, the train came." By then a crowd had gathered on the platform and Toronto Transit Commission officials had called for medical help. Feeling he'd done all he could and that the man was safe, Hersi boarded the train for school. "Of course I was scared," Hersi said. "But I thought to myself, `What if that was me?' Do for others what you want to be done for yourself." To thank him for his bravery, the TTC gave Hersi a plaque and a Metropass for September, worth $98.75. "It's not very often you get to be a hero at 17 years old," TTC chair Howard Moscoe said. "If we had more people like Osman, this would be truly a wonderful place to live. "Your presence of mind to jump to somebody's aid at the risk of yourself is truly an amazing feat." Hersi was joined by his family, including parents and grandparents, as the TTC feted his heroics. "He did a very good thing," said his stepfather, Yusuf Kahin. "He helped someone by putting himself on the line." His mother, Batula Ahmed, was proud of her son but worried that he risked his life. "But he saved a life, that's what's important."

If you miss two consecutive Friday prayers you’re no longer a Muslim either. Someone correct me if I’m wrong, that’s my understanding.

It could be a trend, the new branding of underground and conscious hip hop is to be pro-Islam, you know to rebel against the man[/] and the establishment, since the US is currently at war against Islamic nations ever since 9/11. Many of these rappers often incorporate their struggles and where they came from and what not in their music, its what sells their records in the first place, it also legitimizes their political struggle when they integrate Islamic references in their lyrics, but then again they could be 5%er’s who only know how to murmur couple of sayings ----

^^^^^^^^^ it’s a promise to marry in the near future, you’re planning your future together, while agreeing with all the minor details, nothing wrong with that is there?

One is like the quite type in public but overtly loud mouth advocate of silent bullies behind doors and the other is patient like a professional assassin with a vengeance and blood dripping from his mouth and fresh flesh stuck on his nails --- I choose no warlord. the above choice is still opinion --- the above was just an opinion

PS: I hate folks who bring up old topics out of boredom, I can't stand you all. Why can't you be creative like Nazra and come up with your own ideas, instead of bringing up a topic thats 3,4 yrs old?(you lot should learn a thing or two from Nazra) Lazy Girl I doubt people are taking this seriously, this thread does not convey one bit of creativity in the grander scheme of things , its only aim is to induce and entice hate amongst the members, I think we’ve had enough drama for the time being. Past couple of days I been digging through the SOL archives, yup it was me, and my intentions were to only bring up topics that are relevant and were unanswered, only to shed some light on them, a second chance at an opinion per se. If you’re complaining so much about that, I really don’t know what to say. :confused:

Cawo Are you talking about Europe or Somalia? If you’re talking about Europe, in the UK they’ve got khat houses, you come in and sit down beside the dealer and chew til your teeth fall off. In Somalia, I doubt they’d accept that concept, khat is part of the lifestyle there.

NGONGE Collectively we can develop media projects, our problem as Somalis is the me and nobody else dilemma. We all want to get paid for our ideas yes, but sometimes you’ve gotta give’em out for free, so that other can benefit. As Somalis, we lack collaborations, we always want to be the it person, and we aren’t all skilled at every aspect of everything that we do, but we can bring some things to the table, that we way we can gradually grow.

We orientate ourselves to the concept of life and death based what the media puts in front of us. There are millions who die each day, including children, millions who starve, and die from diseases because big pharmaceutical companies won’t let them produce a cheap version of their drugs. Through intellectual property policies millions are slowly dying of curable diseases. Direct terror whether it be bombings, or indirect terror through economic policies still have the same outcome, in it they both produce death and suffering for innocent people. How can we end this? It is only political leaders who have the power to impact people’s lives, by producing more humanistic policies for people. However, places such as Somalia where there is no viable government, more extreme methods are acceptable. If only in Somalia similar guerilla tactics can be employed against the warlords, but then again which Somali is willing to risk his life against them.

George Bush promised to help the victims of this disaster, and apparently dozens of countries have called in to lend a helping hand. I think the people of New Orleans will pull through, its only a matter of time ------

Daily Hip-Hop News: Ghostface Returns w/Protege for 'Stapleton To Somalia' Project Wednesday - August 31, 2005 by Carl Chery Ghostface and his Theodore Unit protégé Trife Da God are scheduled to release 718: Stapleton to Somalia in mid October. Theodore Unit, a collective of Staten Island emcees lead by Ghost, released their first effort, 718 last year. Trife and Ghost first linked up in their native Staten Island. Soon after, the 25-year-old upstart emcee could be seen next to Ghost at shows and in his videos. advertisement "My ni99a Ghost is from the same hood and I remember one time I spit a rhyme for him in the park,," Trife said. "He saw some potential in me but I was little too young at the time. So, he was like, Yo, when I get right and sh!t starts popping off, I am going to come back and scoop you up. And he stayed true to his word. That's why I love him for that." Now after gaining a wealth of knowledge from working with Ghost, Trife is readying to release Stapleton to Somalia with his mentor. The record features a guest appearance by Kool G. Rap and production from Nottz. Though the CD is billed as a Ghost and Trife effort, the LP mainly features the young lyricist. "Stapleton to Somalia that's like representing the struggle," stated Trife. "Cause there's a lot of poverty out here in Stapleton, and Somalia you already know what it is like out there. So, I just combined the two and called it Stapleton to Somalia." In related Ghostface news, the wallaby champ is presently working on other projects. Ghost is reportedly putting the finishing touches on his second Def Jam release and completed a collaborative album with underground standout MF Doom. There's no word on when the albums will be released. Ghostface and Trife Da God's Stapleton to Somalia is slated to hit stores October 18th through Koch Entertainment.

I seen this station on satellite or one of the Somali tv channels, and they should stop running the same dry cleaner commercial nonstop, they should get program line up managers on there, they should also get content developers. How about wedding tapes, we seem to be shooting a lot of them these days.

Don’t ever tell anyone that they blindly follow the deen.

Farxan I very much agree…. in our twenties is when we find take the world in, find our place, and implement our lives, and vaguely reflect on our misspent youth at weddings, graduation, and birthday parties. In our twenties is when we plan for our lives, switch programs in our third year in university and so forth. When we’re searching for that special person who will document our life, and create a minimal history based on favourite movies, and political ideologies, while we are consumed with the need to feel wanted, and the need to feel responsible for someone. Ultimately, our twenties is when we realize that we are part of the lonely crowd, isolated from everyone, the only thing left now is to consume the spectacle and engage in meaningless interactions based on assumptions – good times, let it roar in.

^^ Adiga maxa maanta threads kaan 100 yrs old-ka ah ku daba dhigay :rolleyes: Well let’s see do you think the topic is out of date? Recently, the state of SOL-thread titles has been a bit repetitive, I’m just trying to rock ol’school, getting some throwback posts back in here.

Khat is cheap in the UK, compared to North America --- so raising the price up here in North America would only cause chaos, and would produce dreadful conditions for Somali families – the parents would deduct funds that might have been nutritionally sanctioned towards the purchase of food, instead buying khat and leaving the children to starve.

Don’t dwell on the damned maniacs of Somalia and their pathetic khat addicted sidekicks, like Castro said enjoy life. Seems like you’ve missed the I grieve for Somalia revolution about five years too late.

Astonishing, the images are horrible, reminds me of the Tsunami, I saw this one clip where this cop was aiming at these folks who were stealing from a store near by, he was yelling intensely like he was about to shoot’em, yelling put it down[/b] The footages remind of Somalia during the civil war. The poor people who had no where to go were mostly effected by this.
