Kids, please comment what the article says if you have any to object, which isn't. Do not bring the author's picture iyo waxaas on here. This is not kindergarten iyo ciyaal ciyaaleed.

Haddaa tashan weyso, isku talin weyso, waa laguu talinaa. That is a fact. Already gobollo badan Soomaaliyeed ayee Xabashada iyo Kiinyaatiga, oo ka sabooleysan Reer Yurub, u taliyaan, no? Soomaaliya haddee saan ku socoto waa loo talinaa, shisheeyana u tashanaayo. Tuuladaan awoowgey deganaa iyo buulkaan boqol sano kahor tolkeyga u dhinteen intee ku haayaan kuwii Soomaalida isku sheeganayena. Eebboow.

LoL, Blue. You reminded me to this childhood friend of mine. Back in somewhere in mid 2000s, he used to email me from Nayroobi, telling me to call this special number that he got from this 'congratulations, you won' website. Since the phone number was an American number, he told me to call it for him. I told him iska iloow waxaas, oo waa beentood. He wouldn't believe it. Scam iyo waxaas muu kuu yaqaan. I told him, haye waa kuu wacaa. But ma anaa u wacay. No frigging way.

Baddeena intii qeyraadkeeda la ilaalineynin, in burcadbadeedaan sharciyadda la marsiiyo ma qabi ani. Baddeena ayee difaacaan, camalkooda iyo waxooda kale ha xumaadaanee, at least they keep our oceans away from the real pirates -- European and Asian ships, especially Spanish and Thai and Korean ones. Who is prosecuting them? We need to find a solution against those real pirates pillaging our seas intaanan kuwaan daba galin. My two kumi and taano.

Qoraalkaan waa qoraal wacan, qof walbana in uu aqriyo u baahan. __________________ Congratulations, You Won You know when you get that annoying pop up after you open a web browser saying “Congratulations You Won!!!”? We all know that it's a hoax and there really isn't anything to win, just a bunch of false ads about subscribing to some random products or services. This is how I feel about the new Puntland oil discoveries. Let me give you a little background on the key player. We have the Austrailian exploration and production company called Range Resources. The firm's webiste mentioned that they have found two hydrocarbon basins covering approximately 20 million acres in Puntland, Somalia. It was also mentioned in a web video by Al Jazeera, that these blocks could potentially produce about 19 billion barrels of oil in the Puntland region. That’s about 2 trillion dollars of commerciable oil. When the firm's Executive Director, Peter Landau, was asked on Al Jazeera how the profits will be split, this is how he broke it down: Without mentioning any details, monthly payment installments will be given to the local government of Puntland during exploration. A range of 4%-12% of royalties, based on daily production, will go to the government. Lastly, profits will be split 50/50 between the local government and Range Resources . After listening to the interview, I immediately had many concerns about this venture. Questions that I believe should have been asked, were overlooked in this short interview. When it comes to production, who determines the cost and under what economy, the Australian or the Puntland region? When that has been determined, who will oversee the minimum cost? Usually, these companies make huge profits by taking advantage of poor countries, and in this case a region where one man controls, the President of Puntland and Australian citizen, Abdurahman Farole. The astonishing thing is that a small unknown company is informing the whole world that they are going to explore oil in Puntland, while the renown companies like Sinclair Oil Corp., Rodgers Oil Company, and Conoco Oil Company, who have been exploring Somali oil since the 40s, are not in the frontlines of this oil business. This seems like a hoax to impress the world and lure big oil companies to buy them out, which is another cost added to the future of Somalia's oil business. Furthermore, to make this project seem legitimate, a few pictures where taken of the two areas with equipment staging a lucrative “come buy me” position. Excuse me? Last I checked, technology is so advanced that finding oil takes minimum effort by simply pointing a satellite. It looks to me that they are trying to gas up the hype. My Last but certainly not least question is how and who will oversee the environmental impact of this oil? Certainly the local government has not established a organized environmental protection agency. The threat of a catastrophic oil spill can be very dangerous to human, animal, and plant life. We all witnessed the oil spill in 2010 in the Gulf of Mexico, eleven crew members died during the explosion and it took more than 80 days to contain the spill. It cost British Petroleum Billions of dollars in clean-up cost and fines mandated by the government. Their effort to contain the oil leaks were due to the demand and outrage of the US government and it’s citizens. I don’t know who will have Puntland’s back if there is such a disaster. Furothermore extracting commerciable oil in a foreign country requires: A recognized government, which can negotiate on behalf of it's people and environment. A recognized elected Parliament, which represents the people of the land that can rectify the deals and contracts between the government and oil companies. Huge Investment, which requires a peaceful country with a recognized government that can sign deals on behalf of it's people Banks which are recognized by IMF and International Banks, to be able to conduct financial transactions and L/C (letter of credit) Infrastructure and strong educated labor force. Puntland and Somalia as a whole are lacking all these requirements, therefore no genuine company will consider spending a dollar to explore oil in Somalia. If anything, it all sounds like we have a scam on our hands folks and we cannot afford to fall for it. Bilan A. Aaden

Nice.

Kabayare is back wax la sugaba. Qoftaan dhoolacaddeynteeda ka helaa. Almost perfect smile leedahay. Kan la heesooyo jaceyl caadi u galayba. War istartiibi yaa dhaho.

It is a real image, duqa.

With neither the audacity to advance nor the capacity to retreat, KDF poignantly realises that Somalia is no simple saunter in Serengeti 'Saunter in Serengeti' iga dheh. Dadkaan yaa wax u qoro. Who ever writes that Twitter account should pen a book or something.

I am no fan of this dude, but this is a very humble image. It tells us that he still has his feet on the ground. Imagine, what-was-his-name, Gingrich doing this.

Calankaan is here to stay. Wax kale la imoow. Calankaan qof kaliyetaliye ah ma sameysan. Haddii wax la badalaayo, calanka iyo magaalo madaxda waxba ma galabsaninee, dadka xun hala badalo. I for one welcome in dadka la badalo, waxa qabyaaladda dishay la qaxiyo, la musaafuriyo, waligoodna lasoo celinin.

Rabi janadiisa haka waraabiyo -- aamiin, aamiin.

Haa hee, 'yaahuu' meel uu kasoo jeedaa, waa pre-Islamic word. Some gardheere wadaado ma jeclo this word, asalkiisa ayee ogyihiin meesha uu kasoo jeedo. Dad baa u micneeyo one of the deities Soomaalida caabudi jireen oo kuwa xun ah in 'yaahuu' la dhihi jiray. No, Oday. Ereyga waa 'wacad.' Markii la dhaaraanaayana 'wacdale' la dhahaa.

The only facts we know from pre-Islamic Soomaali deities is that they can still be found in our language, but most of us don't know it. We might use some words daily, anagoo isogeyn. Sacred, divine-related words like: Macbuud Wacad (Wacdale markii la dhaaranaayo) Burdaha Eebbe Waaq Yaahuu Tuko Add yours.

Taleexi, walaal, dee waa saa, waa runtaa, saas weeyaan.

Of course, the 'master' has to be pleased haddii kale wax uunan ogeyn Soomaaliya ka soconaayo maleh.
