The only Somali guys who I'm with are my brothers. As for others I just can be bothered with them. If you want friendships with people of the opposite gender who are like minded keep in the family, I'm sure as Somalis we have huge families. Somali guys are suggestible and they have huge egos so I would never ever recommend girls to be friends with them. As a matter of fact I go out of my way to tell others not to be nice to them because they will get ideas into their heads.

What compels people to go to 6arab or musicoflebanon or such similar sights to borrow song and artist names so they can write it here when they can barely understand the language. Ofcourse this directed at some people who posted and not others.......The only time I was curious of anything arabian was when I was told that Abdel Halim Hafez was a heart throb to the point that when he died many Egyptian women committed suicide by throwing themselves in the Nile...they probably used other means to commit suicide too but that was enough to make go I must see the work of this man! I wouldn't say I listen to his songs but the couple of black and white movies of his that I saw were off the hook. What do I have against Arabic music??? Amr Diab that is what! When this old cow retires and stops acting so new age and the countless fans stop swooning over him because he is sooo played out I might have some hope that arabic music is for me. Sorry nomads I just like to express my self.

Any initiative by any Somali region to improve its state is met up with negetivity from Somalis from other regions. envy? afraid of being outdone? probably. I don't know what this project entails but I think when people take steps in the right direction we should all be happy for them. Zafir are people from this region more terminally sick that those in other regions of Somalia? I don't think so! so please dadka ha cunin!

Hey Jasmine, interesting topic, I heard the compelete opposite, this goes to show that this whole suicide business might not be as benificial as people might think it is. Well there was this young girl and she was seeing a guy but her parents refused that they end up together and they suggested that she marry some other dude....the girl went and jumped off a four storey building to break her arms and legs. When the first dude who I don't maybe had intentions of fighting for her found out he was like forget it I am not marrying a ****** chick and the second dude said the same thing as well.

The one and only what? simpleton? Good luck in coming up with replies that make sense next time.

I couldn't think of anything at the time. But we could all be 'Somali'or a 'Somali Citizen'or something of that nature instead of 'nomad'in that way no one gets left out.

Ibtisam you are such a meanie. I wouldn't be so stingy with that imaginary tea if I were you. I could be your friend.

Contrary to popular believe Somalis are not a homogenous group that possess the same culture, language etc. why should a newbie like myself aspire to be a 'nomad' as apposed to ummm... let say a farmer? Are the SOL owners victims of distorted history or where some groups being deliberately ignored when camel milk threads was being set up? Shouldn't there be more democracy at (as one member here refered to as) the best online somali community????

I never been part of a Somali forum before. Since I'm a women I think it is more appropriate to do my intro here. I'm Didi Kong but you can just call me Didi. I like that. Show me some love and please remember 10 word quota per member. Alright let the loving begin.
