Yo SUPAFLY and nuna, you both got some nice poetry. Thankx for sharing...

An elderly lady did her shopping and, upon returning to her car, she found four males in the act of leaving with her car! She dropped her shopping bags and drew her handgun,preceded to scream at them at the top of her voice, "I have a gun and I know how to use it! Get out of the car, you scumbags!" The four men didn't wait for a second invitation but got out and ran like mad, where upon the lady, somewhat shaken, proceeded to load her shopping bags in the back of the car and went back and got into the driver's seat. She was so shaken up that she couldn't get her key into the ignition. She tried and tried and then it dawned on her why! A few minutes later she found her own car parked four or five spaces further down. She loaded her bags into her car and drove to the police station. The sergeant to whom she told the story nearly tore himself in two with laughter and pointed to the other end of the counter, where four pale white males were reporting a car jacking by a mad elderly woman described as white, less than 5 feet tall, glasses, and curly white hair carrying a large handgun. No charges were filed.

Hoda - sister, Somali girls are not affraid of having sex outside marriage, but they are waiting for the right time, the right place and the right man (Husband). If you want to get it all right, I advice your hold untill you get married. I know you have questions about this matter, however I am sure other Somali sisters would be more than glad to provide you with the correct Islamic information. Hoda - seek advice from an older person please.

Waw! Just sensational sister, truly up to the point. I love it! What a poem. It speaks volume upon volume. Allaa yahdiik My muslim sister, Allaa yahdiik indeed! proud of you.

Sagecy, my friend, is a position of which my soul fails short to fathom its depth, knowledge and wisdom. The name itself is not only grand but it burns like a piece of iron in a molten lava, and for me to wear tis crown even a day, it needs of me an abondunce of mystic wealth. And for this reason is why you see my old coat is nearest to my flesh. If it were an intention meant to beguile others then my beingness and existance must be as dusty wind that zips past every hair and ear. Regrets are not meant to be at a man's disposal for it is forbiden to be an excuse, fortunately it is permissable for me to employ this excuse to it is best of usage: I am genuine in every sense, just as every feeling of mine corresponds with whom I was before. I am whom I was before.

Norther hahahahaha Desmonds? damn those were funny days. I like the charactor they use to call "The African Student" lol.

Have you guys viewed this "business" as you've called it from another angle? Like is it keeping the old Somali tradition going or even maintaining economical interconnectedness between Somali males in the West with families back home? Or even have you thought of those who will benefit from marrying a wife from Africa? Perhaps the children? Meaning the provision of sufficient funds to enable them to pay thei school fees? Apart from the dependency which the money sent from West creates, have you also thought of the social importance marrying a wife from home has? Like the wife's knowledge of traditional and wifely duties? Or even the future influences of your offsprings and your struggle to sustain their sense of identity? This issue needs alot of analysis. It is not as easy as we think it is. I believe, guys who marry from Africa also help create a system of equal dispursal and maximization of the usage of wealth. The spread of economic equality. Any guy who opts to marry from Africa has his own reasons for doing so. He is doing just as many players and thugs do when they feel ready for settling down.

I thought I should share the above article with my fellow nomads since it relates to this topic.

The Disenfranchised Youth By Sadiq Aminu triplep41@hotmail.com The term "Democracy" in the modern day era has continuously been redefined time and again to fit certain myopic views depending on the author of the definition. Take for example our great nation ( Nigeria ) where you find different ethnic and religious groups clamouring for political relevance, with each group accusing the other for its woes without taking the necessary time to cross check and verify the claims with which it is accusing its brother. This phenomenon has been a recurring decimal in the history of this nation, but never has it been in such epidemic like proportions like in the modern day Nigeria . Speaking as one of the true youth of this nation (i.e. Under the age of 35), I sincerely believe that our present day leaders especially our elders have failed us utterly and completely. I say this with strong conviction even with the knowledge that I am indicting my own kith & kin in this condemnation, but I believe that in order to affect change in our nation Which sooner or later we the youth will have to inherit, drastic words backed up by action is required. As mentioned earlier I believe that the youth of Nigeria today are being short changed in this our own definition of Democracy, when you take for example our very own constitution which sets age limits for elective offices at such levels that alienates most youth from actively, and more importantly, effectively participating in determining the fate of the country in which they are the largest stakeholders, you usher in a version of dictatorship which rail roads fresh and impressionable minds to a predetermined mind set that will only produce clones with the tendencies of repeating the mistakes of the past. In order for true democracy to take hold, fresh ideas have to be propagated, new ways of governance most be adopted. Many countries have seen the need for this change a while ago, with countries like Britain jettisoning old war horses for fresher minds as was the case of the conservative party dropping john major and adopting a younger leader to re-position the ailing party to meet up with present day challenges, after suffering a defeat at the hands of the re- engineered Labour party who had already embraced this new way of thinking. Unfortunately, in Nigeria today what you see happening all around is youth being mobilized to further political ambitions for certain actors, which when attained they the youth are relegated to the back ground without reaping the benefits of their toils, for they are truly the deciding factor of winning or losing taking into consideration the age demographics of the country. The youth are often coerced with monetary inducements to fight their brother youth from different wards, local governments and states without understanding the dynamics behind the scenes. Most elders see the youth as a stepping stone to riches using unscrupulous ways to divide and subjugate them to a predetermined way of thinking so as not threaten their positions or wealth. This is made considerably easier when you take into account that the youth's view is that of having nothing to lose as none of their own can aspire for that position so why not make the best of what they have and enrich themselves with easy money. Agree or disagree with what I say, the crux of the matter is that youth today have virtually been denied all political aspiration, they do not even get the opportunity to serve as aides to learn the ropes because they are considered as the biggest threat to acquiring wealth and power by most of the political actors in our history till date, which is highly ironic as everybody knows a house is only as good as its foundation. The leaders should therefore note that delaying the inevitable will only bring more of what they fear when it finally arrives, and should give the youth of this nation a voice with which they can better their lot and that of the nation in the near future, they should be willing to sacrifice "their" immediate & mostly selfish gains to accommodate those who will hold the future of their own sons and daughters in their hands.
