Yes, as long as he can support you and is willing to learn. You can teach him if you have the patience and time or send him to night school. Learning to read and write in one language at least is a must. At least Caaruruta Quaranka haa uu aakhriyo. P.s. HE must not have any complexity about being a househusband. P.s.s. I‘ve met people who think being unable to read and write is something to proud of. :rolleyes:

^^^Lool easy there! You will have to unpack cadaan, that’s too vague I agree

^^^I'm having lots of food and playing Mario I agree work is a necessary evil.

Underdog, I agreed already that educated people does not mean school, indeed there are things you can never learn in school as you mention. And yes I agree there are perceptions about everything, but what suprises me is to the extent in our community. This is because I our community could really do with a postive attitude towards education.

Ibti, education is a wonderful thing but I think the problem is how "we view" it. Some of us have a false sense of superiority attached to being educated. It seems women feel this way more than men. The real problem is that an educated man may be fine with being attached to an uneducated woman. However, an Educated woman sees it as some sort of blasphemy to be associated with an uneducated man. That sounds like a female problem and something those effected by that elitist mind-set should try to remedy. Wouldn't you agree? You've just proved the point of my thread. That there is this perception about women and how they respond to education, or rather how it changes some. Zafir, lol and Faheema someone who has never been inside a school can still be educated, while others who spend years in class rooms can still be *ahem* as Zafir said. ' *Waves*Canno Geel

Loool!^^ Underdog: Why don't you give her one. Faheema, I would agree to a certain extent, but I think their are certain insecurities that emerge. As for the memo, it exist, believe you me. It is in the attitude. e.g. Why could it not be your brother who was going to higher education, or don't stress yourself too much, this won't take you far. etc. I can give tons of examples. Underdog, education changes mind, attitudes and perspectives in life. It will affect your compatibility.

Okay narrow it down to the Somali community. It is a problem. I will tell you a story that happened to me. Some family sponsored dude had the same attitude, apparently they neglected to mention I was still a student. Let’s just say his sponsorship expired pretty fast.

^^^Did I miss something somehow??^ The brother was on his break, he can do as he pleases without making national headlines. P.s. You cannot combin two prayers everyday to fit into your life, every prayer has its time, make your day fit around it.

^^YOu don't have a signature?? :confused: Thanks

It was my African lecture who started the conversation a while ago, so I started asking around, only to find he was not joking or making things up! lol

^^^YOu are getting married to miid kaal yar??? so soon :eek: But but but, never mind :rolleyes:

Lol What will I be doing for the nxt 20yrs?? Biskina JB. Thanks. I'll send it over when you come to London North. Thanks Geel Jire thanks.

Apparently I did not get the memo, I hear it was sent out to everyone girl who finished college in the African community. It specifically stated that you cannot have your cake (higher education) and still eat (good husband &kids) In addition it stated that educated men should only marry women who are educated up to college level, however their ar elimited few who may be able to deal with a university drop out, providing she dropped out after the first year courtesy of getting really bad grades. Various reasons were sited for this; including and mainly centred around the idea that women cannot handle being educated, they use their status in every argument, they get big headed, they are too independent and thing they can tussle with their husband for control. My favourite reason was that she asks “WHY” too often, offering her own suggestions or alternative ways of doing things. ALL this annoyed the educated men to no end, they have earned their place as the head of household, he is the boss, he has a lot going for him, the ultimate catch, he can do this all on his own, and he does not want help or suggestions or try alternative ways. He does not want his authority challenged, his ego damaged, his status questioned. So the educated man said, No to educated women, find me a college drop out. There was a tick box on the memo, make your choice ladies, catch your ultimate catch, or catch a book. The choice is yours. It is bad enough I missed the first memo, no one bothered to send me the second memo either! But I hear the second one offered tips and advised to the hard-headed African women who decided education was their path. The first advice was more like a warning…

My status has changed.... With great sadness I must inform you all that I will soon be waking up at 7.00am again, joining the working force. How quickly time goes.

This is turning into a tita about the constitution One more fact about the Wala-Wayn issue, the Somali and South regions of Bay and Bakool alone have more population than the entire traingle of Burco-Hargeisa-Berbera... Not anymore...I believe you know the reason, something to do with war and warlords. Lander Thanks, I'm scared of Oodwayne if I get brave I'll PM him inshallah. Suldanka Thanks for the links Nephy rebshida jooji please Abu Geejire Don't worry I can handle em Caamir; you was, also can I add that revisionist historian do not always side with secessionists. There are revisionist Historians who distort what happened with the Barre regim to discredit SL issues So it works both ways, there are also those who side with no one, but rather do it to eidt out any postive things in Somali history. MMM THanks.

Lol. I can't bring myself to talk about this because it is beyond silly. I will assume you run into many ignorant girls or something. Your comment on "Most girls" is also very offensive and degrading to women, I don’t think I need to explain why. It is the same as other far fetch assumption that the Indian/black man myth is based on, but against women and in the process against black men... I guess we could go around in circles all nyt. Never mind.

Now I'm depressed. I could do with some Ice cream and chocolate. Boooho. I got work to do on top of depression. WHat to do. I'm glade Ngonge and North are not here. Pheeew.

Are you watching it on delay or something?? lol Extra time. Pheeew lets see baal 4-2. End of story it seems. Oh Well. lol Game over....

Get lost! I'm SUlking now. BUT I still think they will win! CHealse won.

Oops SHID Penalty WHAT the fuc*K :mad:

No I still have a house there, just don't visit often. It is a messy second half. Even 2mins is a long time in football! Come on! are you kidding. EDit: scoooooooooooooooooooooooooooore That kid is woooooow

:rolleyes: to both of your comments. It was my childhood home. 10mins to go...

It only degrades them if you are looking at it with your idealism of what is good/ sought after as “big”. Saying all black men as endowed is equally as degrading, it is not a compliment. I don’t get how you compare the so called research about black people having lower IQ though. You cannot compare taking a poke at people intelligence to physical features, because in essence it matters whether you are as/or less intelligent that others as it has implications for your existence. The only implication being “big/ small” has is protection from infections (if this means introducing different sizes so be it) and ability to reproduce. It's really sad that most of the time when a girl goes for a Black male she in the back of her mind is really just chasing some myth while a girl chasing a white,indian,chinese sees multiple qualities, basically the Black male has been reduced to the status of being a ''lustful male'' Loool, come you don't really believe that do you?? lol

^^^I like Adam as the Historian in SOL. I've never seen him reference to a qabiil blog. No one else is a Historian here. Thanks

^^^Comparing annoying me to fox hunting :rolleyes: I use to live in Upton Park, I hate West Ham :rolleyes: SO uncivilized.
