^No that's Darnell

^He and Mo have trouble articulating themselves or a point, it's allways funny when the two are talking to eachother, cause both of them don't know how to finish a sentence lol Dale: it's just how the house...... like.... like Mo: I'm just being me...sometimes i get.....yeah you know Life goes on... lol one of my favorite characters has to be 'mikey', i don't know if it was yesterday or the day before but the way he was eating peanut butter in front of the others cracked me up lol

Sue- And how many times has that guy 'Dale' cried? 5/6 times? lol at least mo is not trying to pretend to be a macho-type of character unlike Dale who one moment acts like rambo with a 'face full of slap'(alex's slang for 'make up' lol) and then cries in one of the rooms on his own not trying to be a smartass Sue just showing SOL the 'big I am'

lol more like Hannibal..

A grown man i know once cried after a heated argument when it got really personal, afterwards he brutally beat up the guy he had an argument with, i was even accidently hit with an elbow by him when i was trying to get him off the miskiin in question (who probably got off pretty well with only a broken nose and a chipped tooth) I personally don't consider Mo less of 'a man' because of his panic attack that came as a result of the schock of being spat on...some people are like that and some aren't, i'm sure his violent acts in the past have made him a pacifist if that sissy Dennis had spat on me walahi i would have jumped on him and ate him like a cannibal, i would then turn my head to the camera with his liver in my mouth and devour it while passionately crying

If he had knocked out that sissyboy everybody would have called him a 'violent person'. Sue - panic attacks after such incidents are exactly that: 'a build of anger' and at the same time not being able to do anything about it. Like he said in the Diary room he wasn't going to do anything st-upid( come on the guy has a record for letting his anger get the best off him when he was young) and this is why he hyperventilated Darnell had me in stitches loooooooooool...that guy is really entertaining and every argument he is in he destroys his opponent

Originally posted by -MARX-: That Mohamed is very simple. I think he has problems communicating with other house mates. He has a passive attitude! not very somali-like. Actually he's very similar to many Somalis and that is he doesn't pick his friends based on color but on merit and that is why Alexandra who admitted she liked him the most of all the male house mates, went ballistic on him because he didn't take sides and join her so-called 'black gang' and he didn't join the so-called 'white gang' either the guy is friends with everyone and that is why he's hated so much by these little groups but it's all backfiring on them lolol A memorable quote: Alexandra: Yeah take of your bra Mohamed, take of your bra (loooooool after he couldn't get it off, they both started laughing their a.s.s off lolol) I'm amused....

I'm proud of him, he kept his cool and restrained himself from doing anything st-u-pid, he's the bigger man at the moment and the public favorite to win since that whole house is hated He probably would have loved to knock out that little brat who spat on him but the fact that he didn't is winning him major points. He had panic attacks and was hyperventilating trying to keep his temper, walahi very sad, i've seen individuals like that, who afterwards physically obliterated the individual there having an argument with. Mo to win!!!

You didn't digress brother, i personally think Dhahabshiil would still be as big as it is today or it would have had a similar position as Tawakal and the other smaller ones(with Barakat leading the game)

MMA..He and his father have been in this business now for 40 years and it has always been fair play - yes they stepped in (when Barakat was sabotaged by the Bush Administration) and took over half of the money transfering market but can you blame the Dualeh Family? what were they supposed to do? The angry masses after 9/11 wanted a way to transfer money and Dahabshiil gave them the means to do it. There are several other Somali companies that handle another 500 million USD a year so there is still competition

While media pundits and politicians debate the pros and cons of immigration, one thing is clear - the number of immigrants both in the U.K and worldwide is growing rapidly. And, according to reports (by The World Bank and, UN), these workers are using money transfers to send funds back to their home countries. Described as one of the most efficient and cheapest money transfer services, Dahabshiil is the largest money transfer company serving migrants from the Horn of Africa. I had never met Mr. Duale before, and on my way to the interview, I was naturally nervous as I grew up hearing the name of his empire mentioned regularly. On arrival at his busy east end office in London, I could only anticipate and be excited about the interview. I sat in the lobby peering out of the glass window, waiting for him. Observing anxiously, as I was about to embark on my first meeting and greeting, I was expecting to meet an elderly man in a conservative suit, and with an even more conservative attitude. You can imagine my surprise to be greeted by a friendly young man wearing a casual shirt and trousers. He led me into his plush and comfortable office. His friendly attitude put me at ease, and couldn’t help liking his very personable character coupled with immense humility. I immediately seized the opportunity to grill him on questions many of you would like to know: namely how does it feel to be a CEO of a global company and of the jet set lifestyle that comes with it? He laughed out aloud, and simply con- firmed that ‘it feels good”, but Abdirashid (as he insisted I call him) is also quick to stress that nothing was handed to him on a plate, that he had to work hard and prove that he was more than capable of taking the lead role. Dahabshiil is a name that has gained fame and respect among Somalis both at home and in the Diaspora. The money transfer and banking business of the family owned company was started in the aftermath of the civil war in Somalia to enable Somali migrants abroad to send money back home and in the process earning the family a sizeable fortune. The company was set up by Mohamed Saeed Duale and like so many other successful businesses set up by entrepreneurs, such as Sir Alan Sugar and Sir Richard Branson, started from not much at all. Dahabshiil has been in business since the early 1970s and has since grown to be one of the largest and most established money transfer companies to have ever emerged from the Horn. Today it has an extensive worldwide network that stretches from North America, Western Europe, to East and West Africa. Prior to becoming the CEO, Abdirashid had worked alongside his father who has been the Chairman for many years, learning the tools of the trade. As with everything in life, there are pro and cons, Abdirashid tells me, although he feels blessed with the level of success he has enjoyed, travelling to visit all the Dahabshiil branches around the world means he is often away from his family, which can be difficult. Being the CEO, he is understandably busy, working a six day week, leaving him with only one day a week to spend with his wife and three kids at their home in Edgware, London .I asked him what the secret of their success was. He responds with a quick answer, “We never give our secret away” with a very cheeky smile. Then he continues, “Truthfully its all about trust. There is a lot of trouble back home so there is a hunger to serve. When someone sends money to help their loved ones, it becomes a huge responsibility for us. We help the community, contributing to charity both in this country and back home. Every year we invest in projects that assist the community.” For example, in this month alone, April, the company has mobilized over 500 water-tankers to ferry much needed water to drought stricken areas in the region. I get the impression that Dahabshiil is part and parcel of the community, and a very pivotal one indeed. He continues to say, “Another reason for our success is that we just do not focus on Somali customers, we have Ethiopians, Eritreans, and Sudanese. Whilst some other agencies focus on tribal lines, we cast our net as wide as we can”. Dahabshiil’s profits and importance to the community it serves, have made the company a powerful entity. In war-torn Somalia, it is not an exaggeration to say the company provides a vital, and often life-saving link, with over 300 locations in Somalia alone, reaching even the most remote and isolated villages within 24 hours. The transfer of money from the Diaspora is crucial to the economy and livelihoods for poor communities in the Horn of Africa. The United Nations Development Program (UNDP) estimates the annual volume of transfer of funds to Somalia to be $400 million, and to a large extent, this has been made possible through the services of Dahabshiil. It is the favourite payment facilitator of most international dev e l o pme n t a n d h uma n i t a r i a n organisations, including United Nations agencies, the European Union, Save the Children, Department for International Development (DFID), Oxfam and Care International. Outside of Somalia, the company contributes a great deal to the Diaspora, sponsoring a number of community radio stations as well as supporting a number of charitable organisations. In addition to money remittance, the Somalia- based, Dahabshiil, includes companies in general trade, construction, and telecommunications. A case in point is SOMTEL, one of Somalia’s private telephone companies, of which Dahabshiil is a major shareholder. It is the largest private employer inside Somalia with over 1000 employees. Dahabshiil Somalia, also provides its customers, both corporate and individual, with a number of banking services, including checking and savings accounts, besides small business loans. From the short time I spent with him, it was obvious that Abdirashid is an ambitious and savvy businessman, who has stepped out of his father’s shadow . Since taking over the business, the company has significantly expanded and new schemes like the Dahabcard, which rewards loyalty, have been introduced to all branches, so every time you send money with Dahabshiil you earn points. Also, the company is now aiming to attract young people to use its service. It is now possible to use the internet to contact and authorize Dahabshiil to send money on your behalf. Money is power, and it’s not unusual for people in positions of power to move into politics, I asked Abdirashid whether getting involved in politics back home is something that he or his father, have considered. This was the only question that Abdirashid seemed wary of answering, and understandably so. Politics is a very sensitive issue in the Somali community and like the shrewd business man that he is, he was quick to point out that first and foremost, he and his father were businessmen, and although he wanted to see peace throughout the Horn, neither he nor his father had any political ambitions. I get the feeling he was being sincere but only time will tell. Sheeko

Your such a weak coward, instead of standing by your country in it's darkest hour your proposing we should adapt a new sobriquet? A vietnamese kid today will hear horrible stories from his parents and how they and their parents(the kid's grandparents) suffered brutally in prison camps during the Vietcong/US war but the war-generation of Vietnam didn't abandon like cowards their country in it's darkest hour they didn't propose stup-i-d idea's like new labels to prostitute the country to the same powers they are fighting, they instead decided then and there the next generation would not experience the same disgusting situations they experienced They drove out the aggressors and collaborators - Didn't give two sh1ts about what the world thought about them or what their ''image'' was - They rebuild there country and established trade relations with alternative powers and look at the difference: Yesterday Today Yesterday Today Future Vietnam was, is and allways will be Vietnam - isolated or not - ostracized or not - Vietnam is Vietnam and Somalia is Somalia - be a coward and hide behind pseudo clan States/new names every time something unflattering comes your way, it won't matter Somalia will rebuild with or without your help.
