Abtigiis, What I have been reading attests to your opinion, however I have heard from long term friends of his a different view of his character. These friends are pre-Azania though, and we all know how the politics muck submerges lofty ideals. On another point, surely he's too smart to take the Iley path?

Safar salaama, Oba. Ilaahay nabad ha kugu gaadhsiiyo nabadna ha kugu soo celiyo.

I'm surprised the Canadian Consulate isn't intervening in this case. Ilaahay ha u fududeeyo.

Good news. Bet visa applications will go through the roof.

Perhaps he thought you were refering to the burning debris called Somalia, as a stable nation. This professor is an enigma. To me at least.

Crazy, aint it? I like the line 'may be in contact with terrorists'. It goes with everything, doesn't it? MI5 will surely get on the case tout de suite, Mr Omar!

Kiss and make up, you two. Or ADMIN will be forced to merge your accounts into a single one.

Loving the Avatar make-up, very creative!

Pay the money. You need to cover yourself, in case you're forced to kill or maim somebody in the future. This is the only real benefit of qabiil for pathetic criminals.

She should divorce nacaska.

Honestly, you couldn't make it up if you tried.

Not everything needs to be politicised.

LoL...sounds awesome.

JB, that looks like liquid damage waiting to happen. I don't even like liquids to be on the same table as my laptop. Hello everyone. Hell of a cold day today.

Awesome pictures & videos. May Allah bless all Somalis with peace, dignity and prosperity. Amin. Happy anniversary to SSC!

It was a fitting death for him. He said he would go down fighting and he did. Not a bad way to go at all, unlike Saddam Hussein. That's a fate every dictator should attempt to avoid.

Lychee sounds as sweet as her name. Glad you found someone to make you happy, dear. Wish you a wonderful and healthy pregnancy & birth Insha'Allah. Ibti - did you have a bad reaction to the 'please your husband' comment? It just means that a happy woman = a happy hubby. There will be no pleasing should she be unhappy or miserable. It's feminine nature, I think.

Tempt me with a better one and, as I keep telling you, I may (just may) drag that dust gathering blue flag from under my bed. For now though, I would continue on advising you to weigh things up and support this viable project of ours rather than waste your time (and probably your life) chasing an almost impossible dream. Ah, but attaining peace is hardly an impossible dream (attaining recognition, however, just might be). Why limit yourself to an undeliverable project when the alternative possibilities are endless? (See, it works both ways!)

Allah yarxama and may Allah grant her paradise. Sorry Oba, I thought inaad kala maqantihiin temporarily.

I like this song. Are you missing your hooyo, Oba?

^ Heh. NG, I can maybe be persuaded that we can occasionally be irrational but I'll never accept inherent madness. No siree. Crazy don't live here.

You sicken me too with your negative attitude!

Anything written in Somali seems to sound more raw than in English maybe because we are used to receiving a humongous amount of information in English daily. A sex manual was always going to sound a bit icky but in Somali it's sure to be an unholy mess! But to be fair to the author, the extract Som@li posted shows that he at least attempted to write his material in a clinical, informative and digestible format. Cawaale;751191 wrote: How u been Val?

LoL...no he's not possessed by Jin, but he is a friend to them. I believe he is able to use more of his brain capacity than ordinary humans, hence why he is able to communicate with Jimanka and access parallel universes.
