@Ameen's question; Its a stereotyping statement,but saying that women express themselves verbally far better then men..it doesnt mean we are chatterboxes it just means we are good verbal communicators. @Al-Muminah's Q; My living room,love those soft furnishings. What annoys you most of other peoples personalities?

^The past,am hauted by the mistakes and the what if's... Is there a meaning to life?

Originally posted by xiinfaniin: Folks, you must understand our divisions are real and deep. And divided people, as we are, can never succeed in their struggle against a united foe. Without political reconciliation, Somalia’s conflict will even get messier, and the current humanitarian crisis even more dire. Truth, peace, justice, and forgiveness are what Somalis and Somalia need today. If Somalis political divide had similar goals and concepts of governance, there wouldn’t be any need for reconciliation. But because Somalis have fundamental political differences over which they so violently fought each other and sought the help of Ethiopia, our historical enemy, to tip the military balance, we must wise up, shun this puritan approach of this-is-evil-and-that-is-devil crap, and accept the painful fact that no one side can win this even if one side entertains it could. Our politics is qabiil based with a secular tilt. But our masses are ripe for a government that transcends beyond tribal boundaries, and reflects their religious values. But peace and stability must come first before such maturity is harvested. And how can I end this without exposing the utter absurdity of the assertion that there can be no reconciliation because too much blood has been shed, too many muslimaat have been gang raped, or too much property have been destroyed. Isn’t that the very reason we are in dire need for reconciliation, brother? I mean don’t you see it… Masha'allah,indeed these are words filled with wisdom..Too bad,they seem to fall on deaf ears.We are only cheating ourselves by not allowing ourselves to build bridges.Unity in diversity is an ongoing process in many countries,it could easily be implemented in our supposedly Islamic country.Just words on the screen these exchanges might be but they do play a great deal in contributing to the already many sources of fadhii kudhiriir across the world were ever there are Somalis. I believe its our responsibility as the Educated elite to generate and promote harmonious interaction, why not be those whom exert themselves in accentuating the virtues and uniqueness of our people. Instead on continuously debating on our differences ,our grievances and so forth. Its one thing speaking out about injustice, but its another thing to incite hate, division or uttering clannish slurs, next time when its so tempting to do so bear in mind that soil is all you will be when you die. You will be held accountable for your actions or for your inactions…we all will be. Much love brothers!

Indeed,that is an inspiring video.Obama has his nations support,we await and see though.Is he just all air or would he deliver what he is preaching.. Yes We Can! catchy words..lol

FB,surely Raila can see what is happening to Kenya.Does he trully want to lead by hook and crook? He too must take responsibility in this chaos,and not use words that incite more hate. The situation has now become one about tribalism and has moved from a disagreement of a democratic process...Its trully troding on dangerous ground..cant they just glace over Somalia and see the mayhem people had caused to each other in the name of a tribe. Bloody Africans!! diig caab

I better hit the sack,literally I need and must hurguuf my bed..Lol *G'nite* ps..I once had a strange encounter with a family friends of my other copy.One day as I was walking through Edgware Road,I heard someone call my name.I stopped and waited as a group of people were waving their hands as if they knew me..I stood there buffled,as they approached they called me again by my name,and were talking in Arabic.I told them I dont speak Arabic,they asked in English arent you binti so and so..I was like,I am called by that name but am not from Sudan.I am from Somalia,it was their turn to look suprised..They just couldnt believe I look like a daughter of their family friend,and more strangely I shared the same name...woow! so my other half is a sudanese woman..interesting.

Originally posted by NGONGE: Nothing typical about me, woman! I find skinny women attractive and find FAT women attractive too. In fact, there is nothing better I'd like to do than sit next to a short sleeve wearing obese woman and flick my finger at the meat under her elbow as I watch it swing from side to side like church bells. I'd imagine I'd spend hours lost in this little activity. Alas, it's too late now and big women used to scowl at me when I had the opportunity. ^^Looooooool,yaa illahi yaqaan..Ngonge that was funny.

Ladies ask your ayeyo's of the tactics girls used to use in "Miyi" when they fancied guy...my ayeyo told me they just had to take their tooth brush,comb and stand near the xeerka reerka wilka daleen..Once she is approached by the members of that family she states her claim..yep,the guy she has hots for..ofcourse to honour the girl they make the dude marry her...talk about being bold!! p.s,We all love the drama of those first encounters with the potential husband,but if he has to chase me for ages,dee it means there is something lacking in him that I dont find attractive..oh well,different stroke for different folks miyaa laa oranii jiire..[i am loving my new found Somali lingo]

Today I had to walk for at least 45 min to get to work,as my car decided to pack it in this morning..darn second,tripple hand cars! If only it was Monday,a sickie would have befitted the occasion..Lol

Many of Us take Islam for granted,being born and breed within Islam we loose sight of how beautiful and fulfilling the deen is.. Alxamdulillah! Cadaan may you and all of us continue to bask on the ray of light of what islam is..amiin

Originally posted by AAliyah416: ^^ why would a woman has to take the first move? imagine if he goes am not interested. that is so humiliating. at least if a man was turned down by a girl it is different. I just think a man has to make the first move. Some of you might say oh thats old fashion, bt trust me if you got a pride and self worth you wouldn't put yourself in a position where a guy could walk out on you. p.s. forget abt making the first move, make sure you play hard to get when he makes a move on you. Men love what they can't get, it comes second nature to them ^Ah! Aaliyah, you ask why a woman would take initiative in finding herself a husband. Why not if that’s what she desires, there isn’t any thing wrong in doing so. I applaud those whom do take the initiative in searching, selecting a husband rather than wait for a man to decide if your worthy of being his wife. I believe once you know what you want and looking for, why not go out there and search for him. I don’t see anything wrong in this setting; those whom will attend have taken a step to finding their life partners and by doing so they come prepared to participate in the process. It might not be a traditional method to finding a husband, but had there ever been a time when a woman had the freedom to choose whomever she wants…. and am not talking if when she is asked. I am talking about women knowing what they want and going for it…Just like men do, they can chase you around, waste your time and still not marry you.But marry the one they knew all along to be the one worthy to them[well mostly,with the influence of their mothers..lol]. Unfortunately not everybody have uncles,aunties,cousins and brothers to introduce them to worthy men.With the enviroment and life styles we live in, these too can be a barrier to finding the man...

^We dont want to be responsible for them committing suicide,this is where folks come to destress,you can sometimes almost feel the hot air from their nostroils and ears... I would have nominated Ngonge,the dude finds everything a bore and would have gone on a delete spree..

Because there is still a stigma attached to a woman making the first move to find herself a husband. I know a few would really like to have an opportunity to select what they are seeking rather than wait for a man to make the first move.
