^ :confused: What is it supposed to mean wacdarow? Is it artwork or something? I can say for such a small town, it looks good man.

Why distance yourself so much from the rest of the Somalis? Call me crazy, but this whole 18th May thing is just one big provocation with, and I rather avoid saying it, a dosis of qabiil pride. Why is Blue talking out of his azz? Because Somalis in the diaspora don't even really celebrate 1st of july or 26th of june, the real independance days. Now you see kids getting all crazy and worked up on 18th May. Putting all that energy and effort in 'the day we got rid of the rest of the skinnies'. Like its Ciid or something. What you gotta prove? If recognition will come, it will come. Nobody is going to take your freedom away from you. Somaliland's achievements are phenomenal, just truly amazing, and the rest of the Somalis should learn a lot from Somaliland. So don't waste that by acting like this.

War maxaa la sugayaa? That petition was great, send it to hiiraan.com with a list of our names on it. I saw on the news about the new wars in Somalia. Gaalada are saying that it's the worst war in 10 years. Is that true?

Castro. Here are some English articles on this hypocrite biatch. Pardon my French, but it makes my blood boil when someone lies her way through the system, while she actively campaigns against those that do have valid reasons to enter and/or stay in the Netherlands. I felt sorry for that Somali boy on TV two years ago, when he was told that he had to go back to Baidoa. He had a lot going for him. Wulahi a damn shame. Ayaan Hirsi Ali: hero or phony? You can read the discussion on this article. NETHERLANDS: DOCUMENTARY PROBES CONTROVERSIAL SOMALI-BORN MP As a Flying Dutchman, I demand her deportation. Send her to Kenya per immedeately!

Ok go to this link and click on one of the 4 links, depending on windows media, realplayer and everything, below 'Laatste Uitzending' which means last broadcast. http://omroep.vara.nl/tvradiointernet_detail.jsp?maintopic=424&subtopic=4177

There is a major uproar here in the Netherlands. The reporters of the Dutch TV programme called Zembla found out that Ayaan had told more lies than anyone could imagine and confronted her with those lies. The programme aired yesterday and today the newspapers are full with angry articles about Ayaan. But it seems that she lied about her whole past to everyone with the purpose to make her look like a victim of Islam, a traumatized woman who had the right to speak up to abused women throughout the world. The Zembla crew travelled to Kenya to talk to Ayaan's brother Mahad and her aunt Fatima, they travelled to Somalia to talk to Ayaan's mother and they went to Toronto to talk to Ayaan's ex-husband. In addition Zembla did some more research and visited her schools to get some more information. Ayaan claimed to have fled to the Netherlands from a Kenyan refugee camp, but she lived safely in Nairobi and even received good education. She also claimed that her family forced her to a marry a man and that she fled the scene before the wedding. In reality: she was happy to marry the man and they even had feelings for each other. She was also present at the wedding and seemed very happy. Better yet, the new couple spent a whole week with each other before her ex-husband left to Toronto to prepare her arrival. Her ex had sent her money for a ticket to Toronto. When the flight stopped at a transit point in Germany, Ayaan just took off and travelled to the Netherlands to apply for a refugee status. The family and her ex were shocked. It is a well known fact that some women in Africa marry men from the West to just get that free ticket to the land of the riches and dump the poor guy, but this was unexpected as Ayaan didn't seem to disapprove the new husband. In the Netherlands she concocted a large web of lies to make her family and ex look like monsters. She said that her ex demanded her to give her 6 sons. When the Dutch reporter told her ex about that statement in Toronto, he laughed and said that it was a joke and would be very lucky if he would even have 6 kids, let alone 6 sons. During her stay in the Netherlands, Ayaan claimed to have no contact with her family, because they were determined to hunt her down and possibly hurt her. Zembla found out that she had regular contact with her family, including her father and that her ex even visited Ayaan in the Netherlands. Ayaan denies this of course, but Zembla knows that all these people aren't lying. Her ex visited her at the asylum centre, which was a large trailerpark. He looked at her and said: is this it? Is this what you want? And than left. Her brother Mahad was the most interesting person I saw on the programme. He came off to me as a very intelligent person with a good heart. He informed the Zembla crew that killing your own relative is next to impossible in the Somali culture. Apparently Ayaan claimed that her family wants to kill her. Mahad guided the Dutch TV crew to Ayaan's mother in Somalia and landed at Galkayo airport and travelled to a nearby town called Las Anod where her mother lives. Her mother and Mahad had a message to the Dutch TV crew that made the Dutch people feel a sense of admiration for her family. As her family was constantly described as monsters by Ayaan on the media, the family urged the Dutch not to use their words against Ayaan. They only want to tell the truth. The Dutch TV crew kept their promise and gave Ayaan the opportunity to explain herself and confronted her with their new foundings. She kept denying everything and said that they were all lying. But Zembla, and they did a good job showing that to the audience, did not believe that all these lovely people they met were all lying and Ayaan is telling the truth. The Show was sarcastically called: "Ayaan the Saint". The entire Dutch population is shocked and some even think it's unfair that so many refugees and especially Somalis were denied to enter the Netherlands, while she's an MP. Some politicians even want her to be deported and felt sorry for the Dutch Somali community. Here is the link for the show online: "]http://nl.sitestat.com/klo/vara/s?vara.tv.Zembla.bb_20060511_asf&ns_type=clickout&ns_url=[http://cgi.omroep.nl/cgi-bin/streams?/tv/vara/zembla/bb.20060511.asf] A lot of it is in English when the relatives and schools are interviewed. Enjoy!

The mayor of Hargeisa used to study at the Technical University of Delft. It's good to see Somalis returning to their homeland and even making it there. I was afraid Somalis from abroad would be stigmatized and excluded by the locals if we would return to Somalia. Can't wait for the other two parts.

I recently discovered that farting in the shower is like pissing against the wind. Not gonna do that anymore, that's for sure. I usually fart in bed and than open and close the sheet to spread the smell throughout the room. I don't know why I do that, but a very loud fart gives me a sense of accomplishment. But I don't think girls fart. If they do, they know how to hold that shidh really good. Wulahi I'm concerned for them.

I told you being the strongest doesn't mean you can't "bend" once in a while. Out of convenience, not necessity. Besides, Brown why did YOU bend? I was preparing for a fight on the username issue. You mean I got off the hook that easily?

^ How does the egg mcmuffin taste by the way? Macdonald's tries to keep dudes like me away from trying the egg mcmuffin by not serving it after 11 or something. I mean don't they know it's impossible to wake up before 11 am? I saw it on the Menu my whole life, but as long as they keep that 11:30 or something rule, than I will die never having eaten the egg mcmuffin. You said it was crap by the way?

Originally posted by Socod_badne: Funny you say that. 'Cause if African Americans separated from the rest of US of A to form their own country, they'd have the 10th largest economy in the world. Not bad for benighted, duped, purposeless profligate minority. Not bad at all. And I got some more of these faanfaan oneliners: If California was a country of it's own, it would be world's third economy. So that impressive fact you stated says more about the US of A than it's African American population.

About these kind of white biibol. I hate them, but I don't hate them. You know what I'm saying. A lot of Black biibol need to wake up and smell the coffee. Start owning businesses and get out of debts. Stop being Consumer Xoolo! I'm talking African-Americans here especially, how much money they waste and how broke they are makes you sick to your stomach. African immigrants/refugees from Nigeria, Ethiopia, Kenya, Somalia, Ghana and sofort in America are actually doing very well and are generally well educated. So it's not a black thing.

I visited family in Calgary once. It's a nice place, but boring if you know Vancouver and Toronto. They buy their cars in Edmonton and they cut frozen meat in Brooks. That's Somali Alberta in a nutshell.

Afro reading your boolshidh, I swear waanba matagi rabey! You don't want to be Somali? Ok iskaga siib your Somali rights. No more cute Halimos for you. No more free ride from another Farah. No more anything. When you land in a Somali airport, you will pay 100 dollars extra entry fee just to humiliate your azz.

I don't think that big azz nigga plane of Air Somalia can land in Galkayo. My uncle is a co-owner of AS and explained it all to me when he visited last year. That plane on the picture is a jet, forget the size, waa jeet. So all that dust from those Somali airports will destroy the poor jet. Galkayo can only handle small and medium propeller planes. But maybe you're right. Air Somalia isn't new. They were kicking it since 2001. But they are coming back with a vengeance now. Koleyba ciyaalsuuqii kale ee Bismilah beey kamid ahaayeen.

I am Back "Beaches" Nigga from where and what? War I've been accused of stealing your nickname, what the hell is goingz on?

^ I thought you were a Farah. You're not a Farah?

What makes me sick are those few niggers (rappers and producers) and black hoes (viedogirls) in the music videos and other media that are degrading the image of our black queens and black people in general. There will always be niggers: those few rotten apples that are ruining it for the rest ma garatay for a quick buck. That makes me sick. Skanks like Lil Kim, Remy Maa and Kelis that are teaching black girls that it is good to be ho-ish.

Shocking news. If this is justice in Somalia than Ilaah baa uu maqan Soomaalida. How the hell can you stab a man to death as an execution? Hanging or a fatal gunshot in the soft spot in the back of your neck, but stabbing? You're not even allowed to stab animals, so it doesn't surprise me how the man managed to break the chain after the stabbings. The pain is unbearable if a dagger was jacked in your neck and ribcage. If they way the public execution took place makes you feel sorry for the killer, than there is something wrong with the execution.

Gabaryahey, ii dhegeyso. Why the hell would Farah Blue take shidh from others. Biibol take inspiration from me. I've been using Farah Blue for a long time, before I joined Somaliaonline. So I think this dude stole my shidh if anything ma garatay. Keep watching my back girl and every step I make. I love my fans.

^ War waa 1.000.000 = 1 million belo ku sii qaatee! Nur. That was extraordinary. Feel free to go into details. Everything you listed is needed, possibly profitable and most importantly useful for the country. Your list made me remind of this this company I saw on the Somaliaonline homepage. A collegebuddy of mine was planning to start a consultancy firm in Hargeisa after his studies and I laughed at him like he was crazy. But now I see he wasn't that far off the mark. I would personally invest in a Media Network and call it Muraayadda Television. With things unseen before in Somali media such as: Somali subtitles for Bollywood/Hollywood flix. No more: Alla wuu soo jeestay. Sidey fiirineysey maad uu jeedey? Waa la dharbaaxay. Weey qososhey. Wuu faraxsanyahay! Now Maryoley will know what the Atooros are talking about! Soaps and cartoons in Somali language synchronisation. The women and kids will not like it at first, but they will get used to it. Callers can call live with Somali wadaads to ask questions. You will be amazed by how many Maryoley will call. Talk show with diverse topics that interests Somalis. Talk show host will encourage participants to fight with each other like Jerry Springer. It must be a Somali program of course. Reality show where Somalis with different lifestyles and backgrounds will be followed. Somali people in an interracial marriage or Somalis with phobias. Survival shows where 10 Somalis from the diaspora will be dropped in Somalia in the countryside with a nomad family for 6 month period. The players will be subjected to a hard life and challenges. At the end the nomad family selects the winner. Somali comedy show. Half an hour program where 3 Somali comedians can crack jokes in 10 minutes on the stage. Audience will be given green light to throw their dacas at them if they are not funny. and so much more.

I think Ahura has something to do with Huuro or something. Look at her other names like Aeryn, it means Cayriin. She is the kind of girl who likes to shock the village. I'm warm soo ma ahan?

Somaliaonline has been kind of dry lately, so I'm posting a stimulating, useful thread. Say you're a Somali man or woman in the diaspora. 30 years old with the intention to leave for Somalia to invest in a business project. You're armed with an MBA degree, experience as manager in the corporate world and a $1.000.000,- budget (part savings - part loans) for your business. Additional money is needed for the relocation of your family to Dubai to keep them closeby. And also a villa ($30.000,-) with toyota landcruiser (5.000,-) in Somalia itself for your stay while you start and manage the business. Till the house is ready, you're staying in a nice and clean hotel in Somalia. Allright, got the picture with the useless information in the second paragraph? Close your eyes, take a deep breath and picture yourself in this situation. OK, now try to answer the following questions: In what kind of business would you invest in and why? (hotel, trading firm, ICT, media etc.) Where in Somalia would you invest in and why? (Mogadishu, Hargeisa, Bosaso etc.) What will make you stand out from the rest of the local businessmen as a young person from the diaspora? (efficiency, long-term strategy, professionalism etc.) What will your business contribute to the Somali people? (lower prices, better services, filling up a vacuüm etc.) If some nomads feel answering all the questions takes to much time and energy, just the first two questions is fine to. Bal adiga haa iswaalin, waxa aad ka jawaabi kartid ka jawaab. Try to be realistic, honest and serious and consider Somalia's present-day state while you're at it.

Geedi Shaamboow [he was also called Geedi Baaboow], the legend goes, was a man who slept every newly married bride at first night, before the husband even had a chance. He was even paid xoolo to sleep with her. He was paid to sleep brides. The guy must have been in heaven on Earth. Can somebody hook me up with this guy? I want to hang out with him. Shidh I'm in the wrong business right now. I'm in the wrong business.
