she's alright!

reciprocate what Ng? is there something you want to tell me?

Why are you telling me?

the world you saw is no doubt different from the one i'm attempting to create or to join. what is a 'rapper'? i prefer to use 'artist', whats real and whats projected are different... seen from my viewpoint.

i know what you mean juxa. maintaining group dynamic is very important but the nature of man is such that people are naturally competitive. those who don't have the 'fighting spirit' must not be protected and catered for but eliminated. life is a vaccum, swallowing you towards oblivion.

lol@nin yaaban... you're not a security guard. unless of course you're currently between jobs.

I was having a conversation with my friend last night. we talked about many things. i suggested moving to atlanta, georgia in the next couple of years and he said 'you'll be one of those lost somalis, who are never heard from again.....i know a few people like that''. lol. for him to think i'll abondon my community and family like that... quite pathetic! he continued by saying that'll be a huge success in america and that i'll be hunted down by a pre-milf cougar. she'll spoil me with money and toys like Porsche and i'll never again be in contact with anyone again. lol

Ghana's President John Atta Mills has rejected the UK's threat to cut aid if he refuses to legalise homosexuality. Mr Atta Mills said the UK could not impose its values on Ghana and he would never legalise homosexuality. UK Prime Minister David Cameron said at the weekend that aid would be cut to countries which failed to respect gay rights. Uganda also rejected the threat, with an official accusing the UK of showing a "bullying mentality". Most Africans argue that homosexuality violates their religious and cultural beliefs. Mr Atta Mills said Mr Cameron was entitled to his views, but he did not have the right to "direct to other sovereign nations as to what they should do". He said Ghana's "societal norms" were different from those in the UK. "I, as president, will never initiate or support any attempt to legalise homosexuality in Ghana," Mr Atta Mills said. 'No compromise' On Monday, Ugandan presidential adviser John Nagenda said Mr Cameron was showing a "bullying mentality" and Ugandans would not tolerate being treated like "children". Continue reading the main story “ Start Quote If that aid is going to be tied to things that will destroy the moral fibre of society, do you really want that?” Koku Anyidoho Ghana's presidential spokesman "If they must take their money, so be it," Mr Nagenda said. Mr Cameron said he had raised the issue of gay rights at last week's Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting in Perth, Australia. Ending the bans on homosexuality was one of the recommendations of an internal report into the future relevance of the Commonwealth. Mr Cameron's threat applies only to one type of bilateral aid known as general budget support, and would not reduce the overall amount of aid to any one country, correspondents say. Ghana received bilateral aid from the UK of about £90m ($144m) during the last financial year, of which about £36m was as general budget support. Mr Atta Mills' communications chief Koku Anyidoho told the BBC the government would not compromise its morals for money. "If that aid is going to be tied to things that will destroy the moral fibre of society, do you really want that?" he told the BBC's Focus on Africa programme. Mr Cameron said he had spoken with "a number of African countries" and that more pressure had been applied by UK Foreign Secretary William Hague, who deputised for him during parts of the Commonwealth summit. Some 41 nations within the 54-member Commonwealth have laws banning homosexual acts. Many of these laws are a legacy of British colonial rule, correspondents say. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- its over! the UK has gone to the dogs. policy decisions like these mark the irrelevance of the uk.

yh it sounds similar in af-somali but has a hard 'd' in it. what is diyo? and why are women exempt from it?

The UN has estimated that the world's population reached seven billion people on Monday. Countries around the world marked the occasion with lavish ceremonies for newborn infants symbolizing the milestone, as well as warnings that there may be too many humans for the planet's resources. A string of festivities are being held worldwide, with a series of symbolic seven-billionth babies being born. The celebrations began in the Philippines, as Danica May Camacho came into the world at two minutes before midnight, a tiny, wrinkled girl born into a struggling Manila family. Born in the crowded Jose Fabella Memorial Hospital, Danica was welcomed with a chocolate cake marked "7B Philippines" and a gift certificate for free shoes. There were bursts of photographers' flashes, and speeches by local officials. Amid the millions of births and deaths around the world each day, it is impossible to pinpoint the arrival of the globe's seven-billionth occupant. Speaking on Monday, Ban Ki-moon, the UN secretary-general, said: "Our world is one of terrible contradictions. Plenty of food but one billion people go hungry. Lavish lifestyles for a few, but poverty for too many others." He asked rhetorically, "What kind of world has baby seven billion been born into?" "She looks so lovely," Danica's mother, Camille Galura, whispered as she cradled the 2.5kg baby, who was born about a month premature. The baby was the second for Galura and her partner, Florante Camacho, a driver who supports the family on a tiny salary driving a "jeepney", a ubiquitous jeep-like bus used by many poor and working-class Filipinos. 'Population explosion' Dr Eric Tayag of the Philippines' Department of Health said the symbolic birth came with a warning. View our special coverage of the population milestone "Seven billion is a number we should think about deeply," he said. "We should really focus on the question of whether there will be food, clean water, shelter, education and a decent life for every child," he said. "If the answer is 'no', it would be better for people to look at easing this population explosion." In the Philippines, much of the population question revolves around birth control. The government backs a programme that includes artificial birth control but the powerful Roman Catholic church vehemently opposes contraception. Camacho, a Catholic like her husband, said she was aware of the church's position but had decided to begin using birth control. "The number of homeless children I see on the streets keeps multiplying," Camacho said. "When I see them, I'm bothered because I eat and maybe they don't." Growing, fast Demographers say it took until 1804 for the world to reach its first billion people, and a century more until it hit two billion in 1927. During the 20th century there was a dramatic increase: Three billion in 1959; four billion in 1974; five billion in 1987; six billion in 1998. The UN estimates the world's population will reach eight billion by 2025 and 10 billion by 2083. But the numbers could vary widely, depending on everything from life expectancy, to access to birth control, to infant mortality rates. In Uttar Pradesh, India - the most populous state in the world's second-most populous country - officials said they would appoint seven girls born on Monday to symbolise the seven billion. Among the new-born girls was Nargis, born to Ajay and Vinita Yadav. Her father said: "I am very happy that my daughter is a special baby and I will ensure that she will make something of herself when she grows up." India, which struggles with a deeply held preference for sons and a skewed sex ratio because of millions of aborted female fetuses, is using the day to highlight that issue. "It would be a fitting moment if the seven billionth baby is a girl born in rural India," said Dr. Madhu Gupta, an Uttar Pradesh gynecologist. "It would help in bringing the global focus back on girls, who are subject to inequality and bias." According to US government estimates, India has 893 girls for every 1,000 boys at birth, compared with 955 girls per 1,000 boys in the US. On Monday, the chosen Indian babies were being born at the government-run Community Health Centre in the town of Mall, on the outskirts of the Uttar Pradesh capital of Lucknow. Six babies were born from midnight to 8 am on Monday and four were boys. Skewed sex ratio China, meanwhile, which at 1.34 billion people is the world's most populous nation, said it would stand by its one-child policy, a set of restrictions launched three decades ago limiting most urban families to one child and most rural families to two. "Overpopulation remains one of the major challenges to social and economic development," Li Bin, director of the State Population and Family Planning Commission, told the official Xinhua News Agency. Li said the population of China would hit 1.45 billion in 2020. While the Beijing government says its strict family planning policy has helped propel the country's rapidly growing economy, it has also brought many problems. Soon, demographers say, there will not be enough young Chinese to support its enormous elderly population. China, like India, also has a highly skewed sex ratio, with aid groups saying sex-selective abortions have resulted in an estimated 43 million fewer girls than there should be, given the overall population. India, with 1.2 billion people, is expected to overtake China around 2030, when the Indian population reaches an estimated 1.6 billion. --------------------------------------------------------------- 7bn!
