JUSTICE Posted September 10, 2005 I would say that we should ignore the statistics and start doing something useful. so if your already working then mashaalah and good for you, but if you claimimg benefits then you must have a reason. we all know what are the reasons. and what you lot said is true, and I think nothing is gonna change .

Animal Farm Posted September 10, 2005 I don’t know whenever I see someone from the UK they spit sophistication, the accent entails intelligence somehow, they pay attention to details.. or maybe I’ve only seen the well socialized Somalis from the UK, but these people are often… less sloppy when compared with North Americans. And the Somalis I’ve met, are also well educated, and they’re all doing something.. great, pursuing education whereas in NA we’ve gotta lotta drop outs…. If you ask me the UK Somalis are doing well…. Apart from alcohol and khat abuse… . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sharmarkee Posted September 12, 2005 Salaam, I think you should ALL remember KAT downgraded the Somali People where ever they are, United nations experts estimated 20 million dollar goes to ethopia and kenya per year - just for qaat, imagine how easily that money can turnaround that country if used as needed to imporve people's life. Worst than that in UK alone it destroyed so many young minds - who have got Psychological problems because of lack of moderation of qaat abuse, so qaat isn't only diminshing the proper prospect of clean living but it brings untold sideeffects. It will cost us a civil war to stop in Uk, cos so many people can't live without it, but we need a damn campign alteast to try it to stop it. SOL should take part of the campign to stop QAT. The other thing which destroyed somali's(UK) reptution is they became first class scoungers, claiming social money just for sake of it,they sholuld realise it's there for everyone who needs it specially for old, sick and needy - it's a saftey net for the unemployed.people becoming greedy to apply and manipulate it, and that is why you find a 25 yrs of age young man who can work day and nite but still claiming - bad suckers, such things discourage so many people to work of the community.

makalajabti Posted September 12, 2005 Hello Folks Yeah , the truth came out this week, only 12% of somalis work in UK. It's a shame but they forgot to mention that somalis were new immigrants, there are lots of problem: language barrier, un-educated parents, expensive city (London) and a Generous benefit system. They decided therefore what was best for them: stay at home and get paid doing nothing instead of doing low-paid jobs in a stressful city. Most of somalis are benefit scrougers and virtually few somalis girls work. But things are changing and somalis are catching up with zimbabweans or bengali. I live in London and it took me 2 years and half to get out of the benefit system. I 've learned english and got at last a decent job to pay my rent and my bills. It was hard to overcome the lack of qualifications however when you are out of the benefit system, you never got back...... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
