Where was this nice dad when his daughter was getting involved with a drug dealer? It isn't like a guy she met on the street and offered her a ticket, she considered him a friend, which most likely means she hang around with him and probably did runs for him... Don't even get me started on talking about their parents, cuz dambi uun baa iga soo raacaya...But let me say this, the parents themselves aren't as innocent in all of this as they claim! Ilaah Soomaali oodhan ha u soo sahlo waan dhibaateysanahay meel walbo oo aan joogno...

Inaalilaahi wa inaa ilehi raajicuun. Allaha unaxariisto. May allah forgive his sins and grant him the highest of Jannah. Ehelkiisa iyo tolkiisana ilaah ha'u fududeeyo.

Originally posted by Agent -12345: Blame the parents? - why? The men who died as a result of dealing, were grown men and had a choice. Plenty of times from the age of 13 to the age of 17 shady men offered me 700 euros a week if I sold their stash, I said no thanks! Throughout that time my allowance was 2.50 / 5 euro a week, and still I had no interest in dealing, plenty of poverty in my childhood too; playing with 80s toys in the 90s, no lunches, chocolate bars always split two ways, sharing of clothes, and STILL NO DEALING! Teach kids from early on the destruction these evil products inflict on the people they sell it to, and no amount of temptation will seduce them. Teach them also that hard earned money gives one more statisfaction than 'easy money'. My mother from the age of 9 woke me up at 6 AM seven days a week and had me join my brother on his paper route, this hard earned extra money lasted longer and felt better than the one time I stole 100 euro from my father and got sick on chocolate and candy with a girl from Duqsi class. Don't get me started on those two poor girls who will be locked for years in a Kingston prison, my heart sank when she said her father cried! That rebel attitude and delusional concept of freedom has taken them nowhere. Some need to realise their fathers and mothers are not their enemies they are their allies. Bless your parents and parents like them! You have to know, it is because of what they taught at an early age that you turned out the fine young man you're today...After their hard work in raising you to be a responsible adult, know right from wrong, had you still choose to lead a life of violence/drugs/crime, then that would've been on you! But in this case, that is not the story... One has to wonder how a family of five children could one be shot dead and another be in another country facing jail time for drug charges? A lot of things aren't adding up! If this mother worked hard (and I am not saying she didn't), she should've left that neighborhood for the sake of a better life for her children...Furthermore, there was no father figure in the home...In the video, Iman mentions that their father wasn't in their lives...So a single mother, working (as she claims), raising five kids in the projects of Toronto, this family aren't revealing the true life their children led...You also cannot stop to wonder how does Iman consider a drug dealer to be her friend? After all she claims a friend purchased the tickets with no strings attached! Even more so, why didn't the mother question her 19 year old son where he's getting all of the money he had... In my books, if you dress like a thug, walk like a thug, talk like a thug, hang around with thugs, YOU ARE A THUG! Wrong place at the wrong time can only work for so long...Blaming on friend? C'MON!!! There was so much wrong with the picture this family painted for us on so many levels, indhahana in nala tiro aa larabaa...The highlight, for me, was when the reporter says "let me play the devil's advocate"! Wey laheshay... Parenting isn't something that ends when your children reach a certain age...It is an ongoing process where parents make mistakes just as their children, but learn from it and try not to repeat...HOWEVER, parenting isn't turning a blind eye when your child, regardless of age, is leading a dark path and still aad u sii sacabyo tunto!!!!!!!!! Had this family said, yes Abdinasir did his share of wrongs, BUT DID NOT DESERVE TO DIE, walahi I wouldn't be talking this way...But to try and cover what's in front of us, doqon maa madaxa iiga qoran? :mad:

In the 1990s, Abdinasir Dirie's parents fled civil war in Somalia for the apparent peace and safety of Canada. Years later, G Baby, as his family called him, made his own way from the rough streets of Toronto's St. Jamestown neighbourhood to the oilfields of Alberta looking for riches and good fortune. There, he died and his murder remains unsolved, like so many other murders of young Somali-Canadians. The extra twist in this case: some members of his family are convinced they know who committed the crime. Hear from the family of Abdinasir Dirie as the fifth estate explores the searing pain of their struggle and peels back the layers of a story even more complicated than anyone originally expected. Watch full documentary here. Wadankeenii wuu holcooyaa for over 20yrs; caruurteeniina wey baaba'ooyaan! And we're nowhere near taking responsibility for our own actions...It is a shame!!! Walaahi, I felt sad, at times had tears in my eyes; but I couldn't ignore the fact of Somali parents failing their children! There's absolutely no or little involvement in their children's lives...When we came to Canada, if you went to the projects, majority were non-Somalis; TWENTY freaking years later, it is US! Meeshii larabay horumar, dib usocod baan noqonay...Worst of it all, it is everybody else's fault but ours...You see families with two or three cars, yet live in high-crime government housing; they drive the lates cars, yet their children don't have money to buy lunch at school; they are in shaloongo (by the 1000's) and caruurtii waxaad mooda in hada Utange laga keenay, and that's just the least of the problems... Allaha unaxariisto intii dhimatay...Inteena noolna allaha inoo fududeeyo...

Facebook la'aantiis abaar waaye! Thanks to a SOL member, I've finally got connected with my aunts and uncles from my dad's side (first cousins)...It is a way to keep in touch with friends/family/business colleagues/schoolmates from around the world...Best of it all, it is all FREE! Sometimes waxaadan shaqo kuleheen baad ka ogaan, I'm still recovering from a shock I've learned recently about a friend!

News that a 10-year-old had given birth was enough to send the Spanish press into shock. But the announcement that her mother was delighted by events sent them into overdrive. An underage Romanian girl gave birth to a healthy 2.9-kilo baby at a hospital in the Southern town of Jerez de la Frontera, reports Spanish daily El Pais. The girl's mother, Olympia, speaking from a modest apartment block in the Andalusian town, said the family is "very happy." Olympia and her family had moved to Spain with the pregnant child weeks before. "(She) is very happy with her daughter. This is a great joy. It is not a drama," Olympia is reported as saying by the AFP. No criminal investigation has been launched by Spanish authorities as the father of the child is also a minor. The 13-year-old boy, described by Olympia as her daughter's former boyfriend, has remained in Romania. The local authority is considering whether the girl and her newborn baby should be taken into state care or allowed to remain with her family. Link! I don't know if I am shocked at a ten year old having a child, or how happy the mother is for her ten year old daughter having a child!!! WTF! WTH! SMH! NFW! War maxaan ku daraa, maxaaaaaan ku daraaaaa? Najeynaa...SMHID!!!

It is a very good thing to want wax fiican/wacan for dadkaaga, laakiin in aduunyoo dhan la'iska indha tiro ama dad dhan layaso ama dadkaaga laga dhigo iney ka sareeyaan others? Nagadaa yaaqoo...

Originally posted by Aaliyyah: MMA who cares lol... You seem to think all somalis should conduct themselves in a certain way. Some somalis date outside their race. Not something I would personally support. But, each on his own...right? Ani waayaabee Soomaalinimo maa lagu taqasusay? Walee adeer guugal dad badan buu qar ka tuuri... Are you and the poster implying that somehow Somalis are superior to Jamaicans? I mean, why can't a Jamaican brother be ashamed of a Somali girl? Soomaali iyo islaweynidooda! :rolleyes: I am pretty sure had the said boyfriend been cadaan (or any race other than madoow) there would've been a different tune to this post...I remember there used to be a phrase for Somali girls/women back in the days, looooooong before this Somali/Egyptian/he/she posted this: "Cheap And Clean"...Nearly 2011 anagoo fooda kula jirno, I wonder what other phrases are out there now... ROFL @qof rabto iney magaca Soomaali wax udhinto...I doubt anyone will ponder about Somalida iyo who they date markii loo eego waxa aduunweynaha kasocdo...

"Too young to retire, too old the rehire" Watching the show last night, the above statement kept on replaying in my head over and over and over again! It was really heartbreaking to watch people who've done everything they could for a better life and now to be eating at the 'soup kitchen'...
