When I went to Kenya last summer, I was one day reading one of the daily newspapapers with editorial cover of who who in Kenya - like the top 100 personalities.

 

Can you believe it there was no less than 7 ethnic somalis in top fifty. the top spot went to Mohamed Adem - CEO of Barclays Bank East Africa overseasing much of the banks activities in Aafrica.

 

There were others in investment Banking (CEO of Blair and something), Islamic Banking etc.

Masha Allah...

I am always elated with glee to see a fellow nomad doing well. As many before me penned down, Alhamdulilah, Jamal isn’t unique or nadir in our quest to make something of ourselves in the West. Having said that, it is sad that material wealth and more importantly attendance at highly regarded institutions do not equate a true emancipation from our age old shackles that is clannism- we are all victims of this to certain extend; it is almost as though the disease is genetically passed on. However, experience thankfully points to another direction. The culprit seems to be the socialisation of the individual. In my experience, I have met handful Somalis who don’t suffer this illnes. The only common denominator is that they seldom socialise within our community.

 

Anyhow, good luck with the brother and I hope he inspires many of our young through his educational/material success inspires other- specially I hope they think "if a man who holds such rudimentary views politically can graduate from an Ivy league college, it is not beyond me".

I believe he was a puntlander, reer bari?

But, one should be proud of one's own accomplishments instead of trying to take credit for other people's accomplishment with the reer hebel nonsense. Somali's need to drop that mentality.

Protocol! I was just being silly!

PS: I have nothing to be proud about- I am not Hafidul Quraan. All the books I have read and the wealth I am creating waxbadan ii tari mayaan!
