LST, Answers to ur quesstions. 1. No 2. No 3. Was the term "recognition" mentioned? NO I am not sure why landers of SOL are celebrating.

Jaceylbaro and Libahe feel honored that their president made it to Addiss Ababa. Even red sea is claiming that this is s a victory and we should call them rageedii LOOOOOOL. Yaab badanaa... For your information, Macow, Ina Iley, Faroole, Shariif, Yusuf, ibraahim dheere and every Somali qashiin sat on that same chair. Its the chair of shame and you guys are humbled about it. Libaahe asagu salaatu shukri buu tukadayba baan u maleen waxaan farxad iyo qiiro ka badane. P.s. Jaceylbaro, a servant (vice minister) welcomed siilaanyo at the airport. I had larger number of crowd waiting for me when I went to Addis Ababa if the number counts.

^Ismalura, gartay meesha dagaalka igaga socdo..wiil 23 jir muruqyo kuus ah baan damcay inaan Africa u diro inkastoo gashaantimo badan halkan joogaan. I am sure nobody would have issues with me if this was 43 yrd old da' dhexaad ah. Midda kale nobody is trying to control y'all ee bacda iska fura. Halla idiin shaqeeeyee guriga jooga maxaa ka fiican? Heck I would be lucky if I was told to stay home while all my financial needs are being provided to me.

LST, ONLF baabuur ay dad rayid ah leeyihiin ma gubin, shacabna ma leyso. Qabiilada wada dega xuduudka Waqooyiga iyo Galbeedka Somaliya marar badan wey is dagaalaan oo baabuurna waa iska gubaan waana is laayaan.

LOOOOOOOOOOL waar aren't u gonna care if the lady officer is good looking and what so or u don't really care about that. Che, this is not for everybody, its a "random" pick..that's why my long beard is going away now.

^LOL

C&H, lol you made it sound like this is a gender war or something waan idiin hiilin lahaaye gabdhoow u were doing good job kulahaa. Jokes aside, as I stated previously I am not for keeping the xawaaley behind the doors, I was just stating that sometimes its to her benefit if she finds a man that can take care of her. That is if she wants to do so. Meesha qasab ma jiro.

Aaliyah, so you are upset that I am asking the brother to give the girls in back home a chance? Dagaalka meeshuu ka socdo eeggaan fahmay. Sorry I was slow, I blame the lack of caffeine in my body in the last few days. I have been trying to quit it.

^Dhig farmaajo ninyahow, wish him the best.

^ No recogntion but some are actually excited about the mere visit to Addis Ababa. They feel honored LOL.

Libaahe waa nin cuqdadeysan illeen. 1988 bey kaga dhagn tahay wali. Siilaanyo is a governor of a Somali province, he visited Ethiiopia as such. He was welcomed by a vice minister and no one else, marka qeylada yaree. Ethiopia doesn't even recognize him. P.s. why are u so excited about Ethiopia's visit lol sidii adoo janno laguugu bishaareeyay ehe.

Nuune LOOOOOOOOL nin waalan. You definitely hit the nail right on the head.

Nina, the scenarios u mentioned are very disappointing if not disgusting. I have seen similar stories in this part of the world where the dad or the mom is full of it. People like that will always be in our communities or even in non Somali communities. But when we r talking about normal and regular parents, those still have some kinds of preferences. At the end of the day the kids will be raised in a healthy way. The question is which way is better? Have one kid every three to four years and have a baby by the time your first child is 16 even though your kids are only 4 or have all four kids in 4 years and be done with the diaper and similac world in about 8 yrs. @Ismalura.. I was born n bred in that reer magaalnimo if you will LOL.

^Just call me Mr.Pitt, darn it! Angelina xaga iiga leexi. Well wait, don't call me either name LOL.

^Not to disagree with you on everything but some parents like the back-to-back process. They believe that it is smart to have 4 to 5 kids back to back and stop it. That way the kids will all grow up in about the same time and that will give the parents some free time after they raise them. Kinda like killing two birds (well this case 5 kids LOL) with one stone. I am neutral on this one, I believe it will depend on the decision of the parents. A lot of people have different preferences.

@ p.s. I was there for work, thank you very much. Nin waa buuxaa lee dhahaaye yaah. lol Are you sure? OK, just kidding but you know where I was coming from.

War illeen tanoo kale, Ina adeer Aaliyah, Waligaa maadan maqlin miyaa "Al-Caashaq ya'tii bacda nikaax"? so does everything else. Ninkuu hadduu mid yaroo quruxley oo 18 jir ah oo yara rafaadsan waddankii ka keeno maxaad ugu diidi. The brother already told us that he had tried multiple ways to get hooked with a Somali chick in his local town but failed to do that terribly for different reasons. The girl in Somalia is having hard time living the life in Ceelasha Biyaha near Af-Goye and would appreciate some changes. This would end up a win win situation. Both will never forget the lives they were in before marriage and will be very grateful that they are married and are happy. I say go for it, the chances of them getting divorced are very slim.

^They prolly do. They want their cousin to be a minister. That is an unfortunate fact about Somalis.

Ismalura, I didn't think that you would go to that kind of defensive mode. I wish you the best even when you make it to the 30 LOL.

Originally posted by NinaNC: p.s. aniga Africa markaan tagey not long ago, application badan ayaa ley horkeeney (Canadian passport waa laga danbeeyaa), marka nin la'aan wax la dhaho ma jirto.

I don't really disagree with the suggestion of a girl going to Africa to fetch for her soul mate in the event all other options close on her. Specially when she is 30 or older. The Canadian passport WILL work for them, too. Xaga ha tagaan u sheeg.

I have to agree with Naxar on this, most Somalis use the "dh" over the "r" in these kinds of words/names. Galaydh, it is.. As for the topic, Galaydh made a good point. Somalia's new cabinet consist of well-educated and heavy weight personnel.

Originally posted by Libaahe*: ^^ Upset eh? finally realising he wants nothing to do with ONLF. Not really, I deal with the master and not the slaves ... Again, where is the red-carpet welcome he received there? Oh wait, there isn't such thing in there, he was welcomed by a mere VICE minister LOL.

^Show us the video or pictures of him landing at Addis Ababa, would you?
