This is just pathetic! And you’re the man who mentions democracy at every chance he gets and preach for unity? But at the same time you mock people/name call them just because they choose to exercise there right to demonstrate and call for unity not division? Aah a monkey always laughs at another monkey’s *** but never sees his own (can’t write it in Somali)

A pair of twins who were adopted by separate families as babies got married without knowing they were brother and sister, a peer told the House of Lords. ouch

All men are not equal, some men are far stronger than others, some have more passion for women, some demand far too much than a young sexually active lady can provide let alone a lady at it's weakest and suxual inactiveness point... God bless the pro polygamist…they know how to twist every situation to legitimise there actions bless you.

Your evidence comes from the Sun….. mhh I expected better than that Ghanimo lol mhh time to do some work now!

I can’t stop laughing now, che is that the reason? Here I was thinking you will produce a reason that has Picasso written all over it mhh Lily your not alone on that one..... In most cases these men don’t even inform there wives that they have taken a new wife? Now why is that if there following there deen why hide? Why lie? Why portray the classic cheating symptoms if your not?

Dahia good qst? lets see what he comes out with now..

NG- good 2 know Ciao

che- the numbers don’t add up.. Married man/one who is engaged cheating compared to woman in the same situation?

Jacl-Spoken like true pro-polygamy supporter… NG aha come on now don’t kill your self out of excitement? Out with it... although chastity belt can be moderated to accompany a man…

I don’t understand why chastity belt was reserved for woman? When men like che are around... :rolleyes:

Che-Funny way of showing that love ehh?

Ms DD- Lol get your point there

Come on now lets be honest you know a men caught in such position can’t even remember his own name let alone execute a brilliant plan? Yes some are lucky and are not found out…. but come on a woman only lies to herself she knows when her man starts humping other things its one of those senses god gave us woman to deal with the unwanted dogs… Jacl good to know you’re likely to cheat….Lily u see the undercover pro-polygamy in action…. Ghanimo lol think about it some are… and can hide there tracks quite well.

Che right..... :rolleyes:

Dahi AHA! MEN are just greedy, some are worse than others they hump any thing that moves hence the expression “man are dogs” but some are more tactful and cover there tracks well some just don’t have the opportunity…. In Somali sense they just marry the woman and make it halaal

Che are you telling me when the Latina you have been eyeing in the office comes to you willing/up for it or naked you will reply by saying sorry I don’t shit were I eat

How is these a woman’s fault? I say he wanted it himself…..these is why I always say woman should remember man have two brains/ there more likely to cheat irregardless of whether they have a good home or not these is not an excuse but its just a fact getting a man is easy keeping one is hard…the southern brain always dominates the northern one…..

Lol! Well I wish I could give you a great story but the truth is they scared me and am sure there kittens once you get to know them I mean that’s what I was told but sadly I just could not pass through my own prejudice against them….i once went with a friend, she deals with helping young somali girls in east London who are the lost generation if you ask me off the streets by organising activities for them etc well meet them too …..Well I didn’t want to see them ever again… Ps am way too selfish to volunteer

Bless you then! Ps why don’t you start one soon as a New Year resolution? Ps.s am incapable of it lol I volunteered to a somali community that deals with disadvantaged boys once well after the first day I never went back……

So lily would you take up the role of big sister….. Become a role model or source of inspiration/guider for a young Somali girl?

Dahi,The negative aspect of remittance is outweighed by its positive impact and should be encouraged but it also depends on who you’re sending it to coz for some remittance creates a situation of dependency in turn hampering the good intention the money was sent for but sometimes that’s a risk worth taking especially if your coming from developing countries……. sponsoring to pay for schooling is always a good reason to send money I think, there is something fulfilling about sponsoring a child…… Ps although I do fill sorry for a lot of young people who come here with the aim of helping there families but the families get greedy and want money now now, especially in somali community I have seen instances where the person will tell you I wish I had the chance to go to school or pursue my dreams but I cant I have 6brothers and my parents back home calling almost everyday……. These people forfeit a dream and sacrifice there life for remittance……. Hence most bus drivers/ cleaners had a dream/ambition once but situation back home requires them to work/any job so they can send money…

Lily I think starting small in terms of big sister or brother mentoring scheme will be a good start, get them while there still young...

Key facts Ethnic minority communities in the UK send an estimated £2.3 billion a year to loved ones in more than 50 developing countries – including over £300 million to India and £200 million to Pakistan. -The next biggest recipients are Nigeria, Jamaica and Ghana. -Some 35 per cent of ethnic minority households send money. -British Black Africans are the most likely to send money, while UK Asian households send the biggest amounts. Of those who send money, the average amount is £870 per year. -The average income of senders is £22,000 and 70 per cent are aged 25-44. -Almost half are sending money to their parents, 15 per cent to spouses and children, and 25 percent to other close relatives. Others send money to friends or other contacts. -Nearly a third of the money is used to buy food, 21 per cent for medical bills and 17 per cent to help pay for schooling. -The cost of sending £100 to countries covered by DFID’s ‘Sending Money Home’ programme has on average fallen by 5.6% since 2005. For remittance payments by Indians, the UK’s biggest ethnic minority, costs are down by over 20%. -Globally, the World Bank estimates that more than US $220 billion worth of remittances were sent to developing countries in 2006. -India is the world’s biggest recipient of remittances, with an estimated £10 billion a year. Remittances through formal channels into Pakistan are expected to reach around £3 billion in 2007. -For many poor countries, remittances are a bigger source of money than investment by overseas companies. For example, Ghana receives 10-15 per cent of its national income from remittances, and around 3 per cent from foreign investment. -Remittances also play an increasingly important role in the aftermath of natural disasters. Formal remittances to Pakistan increased by some £90 million following the devastating earthquake that hit Kashmir in October 2005.

Now compare the two i.e. Somalis and the Nigerians? Who’s at the bottom?

What I find sad is how easy it is to find excuses, ohh yes they don’t fit in with English or Somali culture there a lost generation… that’s all bulshit to me the cultural conflict has been used and exhausted don’t you think its about time we drop it? How many people are out there stuck in countries with no opportunity and seek the chance to transform there lives? Thousands of people migrate to Europe and some even die on the process just to gain an access to these opportunities When are Somalis going to accept individual responsibilities? those street warmers and prison dwellers are there because of a life choice, there underachieving out of there own choices am sorry I have no sympathy nor do I think they should be given any if the individual cant realise the privilege that’s been handed to them then its your own dam fault don’t look for an escape goat……how come the Indian youth are over achieving, what about the Nigerians etc what about them? Why is it’s the Somali youth that fuel the prison cells these days or are at the bottom in the education/employment ladder? Should we blame the lack of fathers/ rise of single families? Or should we blame the qaat? Or should we look at the street dweller himself and ask him why he is there not making something of himself? Life is ultimately about individual choices and you should own up and take responsibility for those choices either bad or good … As my mum says daantada ada skalee (excuse the Somali) Ps some of these youth where born here, some came when they were infants so I don’t think the other excuse of “ there the children of the war” is going to work
