Like document or language interpretations? Many students do this here in the Twin Cities, very rewarding and hassle free opportunities. I will tell you this laakin,whatever you do to untangle yourself from this web of working for some else,do it! Even if it means doing some janitorial work,which btw is a lucrative business for many immigrant in the USA. You should see the many Somali mamas in their 40s cleaning corporate offices in downtown mpls, amazing I tell you wallahi. Mrs Dhuc Walaal, my comment was not directed at any particular gender. It was a general statement often printed & said in the business world. Although,it was actually noted that minority owned businesses(Colored people & Women) have a higher failure rate than most other start ups.

Originally posted by Valenteenah: D&D, self-employment is the way to go. :cool: Not always, dear Girls. Did you know that over 3/4 of all small businesses fail? It requires immense Mental,physical & financial sacrifices. But once you get past that,it’s the best thing you can ever own! Good luck,I dont plan on changing jobs anytime soon. If & when i do,it will be in a different continent.

Originally posted by Gordon Gekko: As NGONGE and many others in this thread have mentioned, this thread lacks the prerequisites for a fruitful and comprehensive debate between the different political opponents of SOL. I also sense alot of oneliner 'conspiracy-oriented' comments revealing the posters obvious temptation to resort to amateurish, dead-end, fadhi-ku-dirir discussions. Not my cup of shaax really. Look at you? Since when have you ever had a "comprehensive" debate on anything? Your attempt to appear objective & cynical is noted ,But You need to come up with rebuttals that debunk these claims that you have labelled as "consipiracy-oriented" fadhi ku diris. "Not my kind of shax" aint gonna cut it,bring an analysis sxb. So what is so unbeleivable about this NYT report?

LOL.,I don’t need help, Esp from a woman who is listening to Celine Deon. Let me tell you,JT is no regular white,that boy is a drop of black ink short of being Tyrone yaah Xanthus. I have helped myself by completely withdrawing from Hip hop & I have never ever ever listened to Deon,OK maybe that sound track from the Titanic but that was it!!! Right now,all I listen to is sweet melodies from the motherland. Mali precisly,and high life from Ghana & some major afronbeats from Ivory coast,Congo,Bongo & Kenya. I have even abandoned my beloved Samatar,Saado & Egal.

Originally posted by Cara: quote:Originally posted by Xanthus: My work mate thinks i'm becoming "White"... :rolleyes: whatever that means, because my taste in Music is kind of branching off... a bit to the likes of Rascal Flatts and Celine Dion etc Xanthus, even white people are ashamed to admit a liking for Celine Dion. Seek help. LoooL. OK that was funny. Dear Xanthus,Please get some help indeed.

Awoowe, in all seriousness, the quality of the BBC Somali service is not as it used to be. You yourself agreed with me on that when you mentioned the Af-Soomaali of these folks not being the "best". Someones trash is anothers treasure ma maqal? I think different people have differnt ways of reporting news whereas different ppl like hearing from different reporters.Hereri & his ilks had a unique way while Cadow,Bashkas & his ilk have a different accent. Some love that group and others love this new group. Af Somali waa un Af Somali,but i agree that some individuals do deliver better than others. I like Cawke for instance,I also like Axmad Taajir,both have different accents but they both deliver the news regardless. Lets say Mr.Bashka Jugsoodhacay takes the name, Aadan Ilkacase or simly Cadoow, will it increase his professionalism? LOL,nice questions. But let me tell you guys about Bashkas,The name Bashkas is not a real name,His name Is Baashow Khamis & his father was nickamed "Jug-soo-dhacay" the Kenyati were unable to spelt out Jugsodhacay and made it as jugsoda'ay whereas his first & second name were added and thus the name Bashkhas. He is a veteran reporter, almost 30+ years in the journalism business,worked for the Daily Nation,well qualified man he is.

With the establishment of good quality radio stations back home, and up-to-the-minute “reer hebel” news websites, the BBC has become irrelevant to say the least. Even my grandmother dropped it years ago. Adeer, New Times call for new modern young reporters. These men are very very qualified ,at least I know Cadow & Bashkas are qualified. They worked for the largest newspaper in East & Central Africa(Daily Nation) & They speak fluent English, Fluent Swahili & Fluent Somali…OK maybe not the best Somali but still it is Good Somali. Also, If your Grandma in Isku Shuban quit the BBC,you best believe Grandma heblaayo in say Guriceel just started listening to the BBCNEWS

Its almost Jun 14,Where they @??

Guys,Before you know,Duke will say something more ridiculous than this. Trust me,You will give up on him. I have followed him for over a year & a its even frustrating for a seasoned flipflop buster like me. Theres no shame in his game,hes just blowing the TFG's Buun Kalax.

The Peace Corps is America's gift to the World. I have never seen such a dedicated bunch of beautiful blonde Americans doing such a wonderful job. I should know,I once fell in love with one really hot peace corp. She didn’t know I was in love but it still was love.

You know it is really sad that today, the father of the Somali republic, the first African president to democratically hand power to his successor, was burried while his country is under occupation. His legacy basically burrried with him,it is sad that this great African leader basically went 6feet under unoticed in the rest of Africa, Compare his funeral to Nyerere's funeral. May he rest in peace.

JB,LOL@Worst place. So,I am guessin you were in Kenya hadaba? Have you seen those guys with white,green & red kurdad(dress) and a white Kofia on the streets of Nairobi? Dancing in circles,beating drums & singing in Kikuyu?(Well cordinated & choreographed dancing) Well,if you have, they are called Wakurinos kowdheh & the kids in the picture on your signature reminds me of those guys. Not because they look like kukuyu but the garb that kid is wearing ,the one on the right horta is just a typical Mkurino. If you think am kidding, ask the sujuus in here or better yet lets ask Paragon & QL to send pictures

May allah grant your dad janatul firdos. I know its hard to loose a parent while in qurbo,possibly the hardest thing to endure. Pray & pray for your father.

17 years? Were you chased away during those opposition days along with Koigi wa Wamwere & his likes? LOL., but I just realized 1990 is not that far away, It looks like you followed the first wave of Walendos Anyway, enjoy yourself & trust me before you know, you will be craving for that dust. Pictures and other stories to follow......as soon as I get a USB cable tht I cant seem to find right now. Theres an electronics shop right between Kimathi street & Kenyatta avenue that sells all sorts of electronic stuff @ an affordable price. If you dont spot that one, go to the downtown super Nakumatt(Also on Kenyatta Ave)on the first floor next to the curio & the boutique, there is an internet café that doubles as an electronic store. Thank me by posting pictures.
