Juma, You misread my post mister, read it again and make sure you understand the sentences you are quoting. Ethiopia is not doing any favors for Somalia period. And we should not expect any favors from her. Ethiopia is Somalia’s enemy numero uno...that much is agreed. We have a lot of unfinished business and until a resolution on these issues is reached, the suspicions will continue. She wouldn’t mind Somalia attaining statehood. What she wants is a say of the type of government we should be having. She wants federated Somalia where our differences are highlighted (Maay vs. Maxaa tiri, South vs. North), clan entitlement embedded in the political system and so on. Ethiopia didn’t create these internal divisions but she wants to exploit them as long as she can and that’s why she wants these differences to become permanent. She has also a compelling interest of the type of leadership we should be having: pro-Arab or pro-Ethiopia (pro-Ethiopia will facilitate a resolution on O g a d e n - the region). Now what makes Ethiopia cooperation indispensable is she knows Somalis inside out and she demonstrated (at least to me) how she could play these contestants against each other at will by exploiting our clan culture. If the peace is to prevail this time around, and it has a chance since Ethiopia now is happy with the Nairobi outcome and all the contestants of the conflict are represented, we must swallow our pride temporarily and let this pass for the sake of stability. Once the peace is attained and we get our statehood (no matter how imperfect it is) then we will have a chance to take all the corrective actions that’s needed to make the country once again a viable state in the region. Will Ethiopia support secession effort of the Northwest? No! Ethiopia supported in public the TNG II and she is campaigning on its behave right? Now, the first or the second article of the federal charter spells out unequivocally the borders of the Somalia. In my view, it has a lot to gain to see weak federal Somalia that is very vulnerable than inspiring O g a d e n (the region) and Oromo freedom fighters by supporting the secession.

Ethiopia support for the Somalia’s embryonic peace process is indispensable. It was Ethiopia’s long arm that reached out to tab Musse Yalaxow, Hassan Qalaad (Allah yarxama), and Mohammed Dheere and managed to challenge TNG I of Arta in Mogadishu...imagine that in Mogadishu! These obscure personalities, with Ethiopia support, have become a force to reckon with. Ethiopia support helped Abdullahi Yussuf regain control in Puntland. Ethiopia gave RRA the upper hand in the Bay area conflict. The political grouping of SRRC was created by Ethiopia’s friends. Ethiopia gave them an effective regional representation and provided them all the logistics of military hardware to make their militia competitive in their respective area of influence. Why? That’s something to ponder with...remember SNM, USC, and SSDF would not have done well without the Ethiopian base to wage war and without Ethiopian and Libyan military support. On the other hand, Egypt shored up support (from its Arab brotherhood) for one side of the Somali conflict. Egypt symbolized the uneven handedness of all foreign involvement. All the Arab support went to Ali Mahdi in the heyday of the civil war and latter to Abdiqasim. In the Cairo conference, Egypt was so biased she suggested a power-sharing formula that divides the power between Ali Mahdi and Aideed camps. Egypt literally chased one side of the Somali conflict into the Ethiopia’s lap. No one would welcome unilateral disarmament! In the end, Abdullahi Yusuf won without Egypt’s support, a testament of Ethiopia’s influence in the region. Now, if Egypt has Somalia’s interest at heart, it should voice unequivocal support for the TNG II as it had done in the Arta’s outcome. After all, all its friends have pledged support to this government. This is not about a contest between Egypt and Ethiopia (the Nile conflict). It is about peace for Somalia. The contest between Ethiopia and Egypt gave warlords incentives to refuse working together for the losing warlord has somewhere to go to get money, logistics, and political representation (at the regional level). The two principal countries they count on for warm reception are Ethiopia, Egypt (and their allies in the region). That’s (in part) why the civil war lasted this long. Every time they run out of breath, they got new dose of injection from these countries. Egypt or Ethiopia? We are better of without them if they can leave us alone! Will they? No...so we have to live with it. Let's not cheer for Egypt because it is the lesser evil. It would have been great if we could stand on our own legs and play them against each other by exploiting the Nile conflict. One of these days...

Does anyone else find this confusing? No. You see the devil and his mother are different sides of the same coin. Mother of the devil is a another devil. And devil would not cease doing evil deeds. In their sinister plots, the author meant to say, they may disagree and if and when they disagree it is all predictable that the devil would do evil deed including murder. Surely, devil whether it is offspring or mother herself deserve to taste their own medicine. Hence, devil will not hesitate to kill his mother and the mother deserve the killing for she has done evil deed to deserve the punishment. Hope I helped there.

Originally posted by Sue: By dwelling on what you could have done differently to stop an event from happening you’re ultimately questioning the existence of qadar…are you not? That's what it amounts to. "What if"s is equivalent to the "lowlaa" in arabic right? I too fail to see the connection between the string theory and what we might and might not have done. I thought this theory was an effort to address the short comings of the physics to have unified theory for the natural world. For instance, the relativistic quantum theory is not useful when applied to the cosmic phenomena likewise the classical physics won't do any good in explaining elementary particles. You see there is gab. String theory as bizare as it sounds (zero distance and zero mass is not your typical zero number) seems to close this gab as it formulated the math in a way that quantum theory can deal with gravity. Hope I helped there.

Nur Could you please post the profiles of these qualified and desirable husbands they are after. By the way, this post of yours won't help the singles a bit. And last time I checked the SOL crowd the single males outnumber the married folks Sister Habiba is very tempting and I dare say her organization will recieve tons of anonymous applications and the bulk of that will come from single males instead of husbands . " On a serious question though can a polygamy be a viable option for husbands in qurbolands given the legal aspect of the system which is antithesis of this kind of lifestyle?

I think, no textbook can prepare you for conducting a live experience with a live system, afterall, the system is more intelligent than you, each time you turn the system on it diplays the following message: C'mon sage Nur, few pointers, tips gleaned from the good Book and the tradition of the prophet compiled into digestable dose that takes into account the realities of the modern day cn go a long way methinks. Remember docs operate on live patients. They got that knowledge from them books so don't underestimate the textbooks I'm not talking about the bookish fellas who base everything on them books Human nature is an unpredictable business and the more you know (through interaction and experience written, revealed, or otherwise) the better prepared you become to deal with them humans especially when you have to abide strict divine directives. Some of your posts, if refined and customised, directed to the target audience can be very usful and even can become a SYLLABUS for "Tamed shukaansi the right way 101" course. You gotta look out for young idealist nomads bro.

^ Think big and try to see the bigger picture. I wasn’t there and I can’t comment on what went on in that gathering but, for the face of it, it seems very enlightening and beneficial program for the participants and the community. Even if there were some mishaps and deviations, your approach is not helpful especially when Islam, the whole idealogy, is under attack. Here is news for you, plz read it and see how your comments plays right into the trap. Rand Corporation, a semi-autonomous think-tank is commissioned to outline a strategy to redefine Islam, find and promote Muslim leaders and intellectuals of their choice, and involve Western governments in reorganizing and transforming Islam. Rand come up a lengthy report with these policy recommendations, and I quote : 1. Support the modernists first, enhancing their vision of Islam over that of the traditionalists by providing them with a broad platform to articulate and disseminate their views. They, not the traditionalists, should be cultivated and publicly presented as the face of contemporary Islam. 2. "Support the secularists on a case-by-case basis. 3. "Encourage secular civic and cultural institutions and programs. 4. "Back the traditionalists enough to keep them viable against the fundamentalists (if and wherever those are our choices) and to prevent a closer alliance between these two groups. 5. "Within the traditionalists, we should selectively encourage those who are the relatively better match for modern civil society. For example, some Islamic law schools are far more amenable to our view of justice and human rights than are others. 6. "Finally, oppose the fundamentalists energetically by striking at vulnerabilities in their Islamic and ideological postures, exposing things that neither the youthful idealists in their target audience nor the pious traditionalists can approve of: their corruption, their brutality, their ignorance, the bias and manifest errors in their application of Islam, and their inability to lead and govern." (P. 47-48) There are also additional activities that they deem necessary to support the overall approach...keep reading: 1. "Help break the fundamentalist and traditionalist monopoly on defining, explaining, and interpreting Islam. 2. "Identify appropriate modernist scholars to manage a Web site that answers questions related to daily conduct and offers modernist Islamic legal opinions. 3. "Encourage modernist scholars to write textbooks and develop curricula. 4. "Publish introductory books at subsidized rates to make them as available as the tractates of fundamentalist authors. 5. "Use popular regional media, such as radio, to introduce the thoughts and practices of modernist Muslims to broaden the international view of what Islam means and can mean." (p. 48)

My take on this marriage thing is it’s like a black box with input and output terminals. A distorted signal loaded with too much of white noise goes in as an input at one end and it comes out (time lag) the other end in filtered form. You may know all the critical dimensions of this black box beforehand but inside will always remain unknown for sometime to come. With enough time, you come to know, through the observed behavior, some of the properties of the box, how it works, what makes tick inside, etc. Still you won’t be able to see inside of that black box. If nomads were to find the desired signal with right amplitude and frequency as the end product, they would need to take a calculated risk by choosing the signal with minimum white noise from the available signals. To do so you must have the right tools like oscilloscope to take all the measurements of the signal. The lab is the place to take the vital data because it is a controlled room . Since, you don’t know how the mysterious black box might process it, it is better to consult with the syllabus and the textbook for guidance of how best to perform the task. In the end though much will depend on that box. To answer the question Nur posed; love is both a precursor for a good and healthy marriage and the by-product of marriage but like the signal loaded with too much white noise, pre-marriage love is loaded with a lot of emotional feelings, unrealized hopes, undefined fears, and unreasonable expectations. Once the knot is tied, the pre-marriage love will either pass the test, and materialize in the form of mutual understanding, or it will evaporate as soon as it's tested by the marital complexities. The real thing is the by-product of successful marriage. Practical solution: there is no perfect mate for starters! and you won’t get the magical rose garden you are dreaming about unless you take a calculated risk with someone. Open the door for the unknown suitors, get to know them and see if they can foot the bill and don’t forget the saying: trust but verify. There it is my caanteeyn,

Ayaan hadii la joogay baan waxaan isku aragnay ninkii Dibadjoog ahaa suuqa laga adeegto. Waan is bariidinay deetana waxaanu ku ballanay in aan wada qaxweyno habeenka Sabtiga ah. Waxaannu isugu nimid Barnes and Nobles Book Stores oo kaabiga u saaran xaafada aan degenahay. Cabaar iyo sheeko guud ka dib, waxaan gartay in aaney jirin arrin gaar ah oo aan ka wada hadleyno. Inta badan anniga ayaa sheekeynayay. Waxay ila noqotay in aan weydiiyo arrin aan xiiso badan u qabay in aan gunteeda soo taabto, waxaan u sheegay in aan maqley warar badan iyo sheekooyin iska hor imaanaya oo assaga ku saabsan. Waxaan fahansiiyey in aan door biday in ay haboon tahay inaan issaga ka hubsado bal arrimahaa in ay wax ka jiraan iyo in kale. Dibadjoog waxuu iigu jawaabay “Maxay yihiin sheekooyinka iyo wararka aad maqashay?†Halkii baan ka bilaabay. Waxaan u sheegay in sida aan dariska iyo asxaabta aan ka maqlay uu yahay: nin xabsi Philadelphia ku yaal ku xirnaa mudo 4 sanno ah...Inuu yahay nin aan ehel iyo qaraabo aan lahayn...Inuu yahay nin dhiig Muslim qaba oo issaga gacantiisa ku dilay xaaskiisii. Inuu ku barbaaray Italy oo ay soo korsadeen dad ajnabi ah...inuu mar waashay...iyo inuu mar ka ahaa mu’adin masjidka Toronta ku yaal ka adima. “Ilaa hada sheekooyin iska hor imaanaya iima aadan sheegin†si sahal inta u yiri, oo sare istaagay, buu iska dhaqaaqay! Yaab iyo amakaag! Aad baan u carooday. Xushmad iyo qadarin la’aan baan is tusay in uu igula dhaqmay. Waa markii labaad...dib danbe ha ula hadlin wax dambena ha ku darsan, yaan niyada is ka iri. Ilaa muddo ah is maanu arag. Waxaa xaafada ka dhacay meher, dariska inta badan waa la marti galiyey. Meesha aan fadhinay waxay ahayd meel ragga kaliya loogu talogalay oo wax dumar ah ma joogin kamana muuqan agagaarka oo dhan. Sida caadada ah, wiilka guursanaya xigtadiisa nin wakiil ka ah yaa hadalka furay. Waxa uu ka sheekeeyey in gabadha iyo wiilkuba ay yihiin dad aan kala fogeyn. Waxa uu ku soo gabagabeeyey in ay doonayaan gabadha la yiraahdo Hibaaq Gallad Ahmed. Gabadha aabaheed baa hadalkii qaatay, issagana hadal dheer buu jeediyey waxa uuna ku soo gabagabeeyey in uu siiyey Hibaaq wiilka soo doonay Mukhtaar Ali Calas. Sheekh Abdixaamid ayaa marka uu baaqay Mukhtaar inuu soo dhawaado si uu meherka u fuliyo. Halkaa marka ay mareyso oo dadku wada aamusan yahay farxad iyo reynreyn badanna ay wajigooda ka muuqato. Yaa nin meel aan ka fogeyn sheekh Abdixaamid oo aan markaa ii muuqan yiri “Sheekh Hibaaq annigey igu mehersan tahay oo ay xaaskeygii tahayâ€. Hal mar baa buuq iyo bulaan meeshii ka bilowdey. Dhallintii horteyda fadhiday waa istaagteen si ay u arkaan ninka hadlaya ee leh Hibaaq ninkeedii baan ahay. Dibada baan u soo baxay markii buuqii iyo qeyladii ay badatay. Dadka qaar baa lahaa Adeer Gallad Ahmed waxuu yiri waa nin waalan ninkan ee police ha loogu yeero deetana meherka ha la dhameys tiro. Laakiin Sheekh Abdixaamid baa diiday....

Aad baad u mahadsan tahay Aamina. Alleylehe inaad fariid tahay sida gabadha laga sheekeynayo. Sheekadan waan maqlay ee magaca iyo sheekada ayaan is la keeni waayey. Maacaleesh. Legend sxb kolay macnaad sheekadan u soo xushay ee bal anniguna aan ku caawiyo. Waa tahay. Sideedaba reer miyigu sheekooyinka noocan oo kale ah waxa aalaaba loo sheegaa in duluc shishe oo xikmad badan ay ku dheehan tahay lagu gudbiyo. Sheekadan duluc shishe oo aad iyo aad u qiimo badan baa ku jirta. Dulucda sheekada oo meelo badan taabaneysa aan ka soo qaado hal mid. 1. Garashada iyo garaadka waa raasamaal. Sida gabadha sheekadan ku jirta, guurka iyo gayaankaba waa loo meel dayaa oo waa laga fiirsadaa inta aadan gelin. Dookha waa jinni oo hadba meel buu caada saaraa laakiin hadii la doonayo inuu gurigu nabad iyo is-afgarad ku waaro waxa haboon in lagu xusho gayaanka garasho. 2. Qaneeco - ruuxaan ku dooneynin la iskuma ridaanrido. Sida Faarax waxa haboon in aad ku qanacdo rabitaanka gabadha aad caashaqsan tahay. Inkastoo Faarax waqti iyo dadaal badan u huray oo xataa uu cadow ugu bareeray misana waa uu gartay inay haboon tahay in tanaasulaad la sameeyo oo lagu qanco waaqiciga markaa jira ee aan la is maqiiqin. 3. Kalsooni - Walow dadku warxuma tashiil aan laga waayin misana dheg ha u dhigin. Kabo-calaf gabadha kalsooni iyo garashuu ku qaatey. Sidaa ma dhacdeen hadii deheg iyo jalaq u siin lahaa hadaaqa dadku ay wax sheegsheegayaan.

The invitation Oriah Mountain Dreamer, Indian Elder It doesn’t interest me what you do for a living. I want to know what you ache for, and if you dare to dream of meeting your heart’s longing. It doesn’t interest me how old you are. I want to know if you will risk looking a fool for love, for your dreams, for the adventure of being alive. It doesn’t interest me what planets are squaring your moon, I want to know if you have touched the center of your sorrow. If you have been opened by life’s betrayals or have become shriveled closed from fear of further pain! I want to know if can sit with pain, mine and your own, Without moving to hide it or fade it or fix it. I want to know if you can be with joy, mine and your own; If you can dance with wildness and let ecstasy fill you To the tips of your fingers and toes without cautioning us to be careful, Be realistic, or to remember the limitations of being human. It doesn’t interest me if the story you are telling me is true, I want to know if you can disappoint another to be true to yourself. if you can bear the accusation of betrayal and not betray your own soul. I want to know if you can be faithful and therefore trustworthy. I want to know if you can see beauty, Even when it is not pretty every day, and if you can source your life from God’s presence. I want to know if you can live with failure, yours and mine, And still stand on the edge of a lake and shout to the silver moon, “YES†It doesn’t interest me to know where you live or how much money you have. I want to know if you can get up after the night of grief and despair, Weary and bruised to the bone, and do what needs to be done for the children. It doesn’t interest me who you are, how you become here. I want to know if you will stand in the center of the fire with me and not Shrink back. It doesn’t interest me where or what or with whom you have studied. I want to know what sustains you from the inside when all else falls away. I want to know if you can be alone with yourself, And if you truly like the company you keep in the empty moments.

THE MAN IN THE GLASS When you get what you want in Your struggle for self And the world makes you king for A day Just go to the mirror and look at Yourself And see what the man has to Say. For it isn’t your father or mother Or wife Whose judgment upon you must Pass, The fellow whose verdict counts Most in your life Is the one staring back from the Glass. Some people might think you’re a Straight shootin’ chum And call you a wonderful guy. But the man in the glass says You’re only a bum If you can’t look look him straight in the Eye. He’s the fellow to please, never Mind all the rest For he’s with you clear to the end And you passed your most Dangerous test If the guy in the glass is your Friend. You may fool the whole world Down the pathways of years And get pats on the back as you Pass. But your final reward will be heart- Ache and tears If you’ve cheated the man in the Glass. ~Author unknown~

Words of wisdom in these poems. I thought I share them with you. Slow Down Have you ever watched kids On a merry-go-round? Or listened to the rain Slapping on the ground? Ever followed a butterfly's erratic flight? Or gazed at the sun into the fading night? You better slow down. Don't dance so fast. Time is short. The music won't last. Do you run through each day On the fly? When you ask "How are you?" Do you hear the reply? When the day is done Do you lie in your bed With the next hundred chores Running through your head? You'd better slow down Don't dance so fast. Time is short. The music won't last. Ever told your child, We'll do it tomorrow? And in your haste, Not see his sorrow? Ever lost touch, Let a good friendship die Cause you never had time To call and say "Hi"? You'd better slow down. Don't dance so fast. Time is short. The music won't last. When you run so fast to get somewhere You miss half the fun of getting there. When you worry and hurry through your day, It is like an unopened gift Thrown away. Life is not a race. Do take it slower Hear the music Before the song is over. ~ Author Unknown ~

Dibadjoog waa nin dalmar ah oo ku nool magaalo ku taal Mareykanka oo la yiraahdo Alexandria (VA). Xagga muuqaalka waa nin dherer iyo lixaad u dhashay. Da’diisu qiyaastii waa 29 jir. Bidaar si xun u bilaabatay oo sii siqeysa laakiin yara cusub buu leeyahay. Lugta bidix wuu ka yara dhutiyaa marka uu soconayo. Dadka aadka u yaqaan waxay yiraahdeen waa nin hadal yar oo aan si sahal ah loo garan karin waxa uu aaminsan yahay. Sidiisaba nin shido-yarri u dhashay weeye Dibadjoog. Miyir, aamus, iyo gooni-u-socodnimo yuu caan ku yahay oo lagu yaqaan. Inkasta oo uu mudo badan joogey Mareykanka waa nin aysan ladnaan ka muuqan. Diif iyo daal badan yaa markastaba dhafoorkiisa ku yaal. Mararka qaar dariska waxay sheegeen in ay dhowr jeer arkeen issaga oo kaligii isla hadlaya oo waliba inta geesaha eega kor gacmaha u taagtaagaya. Markii ugu horeysey ee aan la kulmo Dibadjoog Warsame Liibaan waxay aheyd abaarihii sanadka 1998-dii. Waxa aanu isku aragnay maktabad xaafada ku taal. Bariidin ka dib, waxa uu i weydiiyey Hibaaq in aan aqaan. Markuu hubsaday in aan aqaan ayuu si degan waxa uu ii su’aalay aqoonta aan u leeyahy inta ay le’eg tahay. Hibaaq waa gabar 32 jir ah oo wax ka dhigta dugsiga sare ee Shekopee High. Waa innan aa la guursan wali. Xurmo badan iyo wanaag baa lagu yaqaan, aqoon maadi ahna waa lagu tuhmaa. Halkaa yaanu isku baranay sidaana isuma aanu arkin jirin intabadan. Mar mar ayuu imaan jiray halka aannu ku ciyaarno kubada issaga oo luga-baxsi iyo jimicsi dartii u ordaya. Inta badan dhallintu way ku qosli jirtay sideedana wax ka sheegiisa ma ahayn wax lala yaabo maadaama badanaa yar iyo weyn dadka xaafada degan ay sheekooyinkiisa la hadal heyn jiray. Sheekooyinka laga sheego inay ku dhacday Dibadjoog waa badan yihiin. Inta badan wey is khilaafsan yihiin oo hadba waxay ku xiran tahay qofka markaa k taariikheynaya. Laakiin waxay dhamaantood wadaagaan xiiso-badnida. Dhowr jeer hadii uu i bariidiyey oo uu waliba I weydiiyey su’aalo ujeedadoodu tahay barasho ayaan waxa aan bilaabay inaan anna weydiiyo su’aalo kuwaa la mid ah. Berrigaa fahamkeygu waxuu ahaa in ninkaanu wax u dhiman yihiin sida aan dadka ka maqlay sidaa aawadeed si feejignaan leh yaan u qaabiliyey Dibadjoog. Bal aan eego halka aan gaarsiiyo...

Do I have it? sometimes but it's rare! Do I know victims...I can't count them. More often than not backbiting, gossiping, character assassination and what not start within the group we are part of. How often have we initiated one by simply enquiring things our buddies may or may not do. From there, we listen a whole litany of gossiping and we tend to enjoy hearing the dirt on others. We in turn recycle the same dirt by informing others who may have the need to know more on so and so. You would think nomads are the worst but I gotta news for y’all. Office politics and all that comes with is just different level. Where I’m from, gossip, backbiting, and what not is something associated with women. There is some truth in that but boy! have I seen men who almost feel the need to give you a character and bio “tour†on their friends, acquaintances, and colleagues. Now my sincere thoughts on this? I may be wrong but I think this is part of human nature and one way to resist or minimize it is to realize that those who give the dirt from their neighbors, family members, friends, etc. are bound to do the same behind your back. With this realization, it follows that you pick your friends wisely and if and when they slip and start gossiping and ripping people apart, as they sometimes may, don’t be so polite and pretend as if you wanna hear all of that. Start making excuses for the victim if he/she doesn’t get the hint, it’s high time to tell that you are not interested in that. Nur bro, I know brothers (bachelor) in search of good wife and every know and then when we meet for tea-sipping, I see them heart-broken for they have been inundated with bad info that amounted to character assassination about the person they’ve been keeping their eye on for quite sometime. It’s just sad to see other men making business to do such thing to a couple who may have gotten married in a hallal matrimony. On the politics, I have some reservation on the generalization some of you do day in and day out. It’s like what the wise man said about people being discreet sheep; waiting to see how the drove is going, and then go with them. It takes only one nomad to say something about that section and off they go doing just what this thread is all about. In SOL, it became fashionable to defame (in underhand manner) folks who tend to congregate in the politics section. My take on this is that we as people are bound to talk about events in our country. It just so happened that ours is intertwined with tribalism. It is inevitable to analyze the facts, the actors and the forces that shape them. Is tribalism bad? Yes! Are their tribalists all around (home and abroad)? Absolutely! What are you doing about it? Are you in favor of collective amnesia? I see the point in saying talking about in this forum won’t do any good but I for one learned what makes some fellas tik sort to speak. Waa tahay!

Cilmi badanaa Kheyr bro, Age matters somewhat. It is not just a number...it is the real thing. Immature, active, productive, vigorous, strong, optimist, inexperience, etc are all associated with the young doe like you. That’s not always true but in general, these descriptions apply. Notice I didn’t use intelligence, piety, etc. in that list. The oldies are just that - old. Senility and what not is in order when you hit the ceiling. Age in the context of marriage is what you make of. Preferences yes! - we do have plenty of it but our preferences are not always the same. Often times our preferences correlate to the social norms and what not but that doesn’t make it right just because majority do things certain ways. Now, old man with young women as couples is the norm but the opposite is rare. Why? dunno blame it whoever you please but that seems pretty much as the norm. Ahem, for men go for young fawns and be prepared to put up with all that comes with being young and inexperienced. For the ladies, qalanjooyin go for whatever that works for you and once in try to make it work. There is too much mystery in relationships. Once in, age matters less, bigger issues come to play. That 30 yr old that you run into the other night, she might be the one for you

Originally posted by NGONGE: The people that give fathers a hard time are those that suffer at the hands of absent, irresponsible and useless fathers. There is an abundance of single mothers, divorced women and abused women. They (and their children) are the ones who complain about the state of Somali fathers today. Right on the head! Say it out loud again plz. On a side note, I realise that the ranting of young and single girls about the state of Somali husbands today could get on some married men’s nerves at times, but we’ve got to take it on the chin, people. These ladies are not talking from experience and are no threat. It’s when the wives start repeating these comments that one needs to start panicking (or purchase a sports bag – they’re water proof, unlike those black bags). *Big smile I don't think you get the balls to utter these remarks in the "Araweelo" section of the forum. The angry, frustrated, young singles in that neck of the wood know too much and got a lot to say about this issue. As to the topic, QL, Kruella, and Ngonge covered all (not quite but pretty much) the basis.
