Complete Posted March 12, 2011 The Zack: Hana habaarin lagu habaarye. During my trip to the motherland, I've had caano geel in the forms of dhey and suusac. Horta I couldn't get passed the smell. It was deadly. I can stomach it when it's dhey but when it's suusac...ka carara! I felt like someone snuck an entire kilo of cusbo. It was so God darn soar and la'labo. Lost a lot of weight on it though. Cleanses your bowels which in turn makes you shirdh a lot . Anyways, it still smells like butt. P.S. Wrong gender. You should exchange 'kan' for 'tan' .

The Zack Posted March 12, 2011 ^Wallee "Kan" ma tihid miyaa? Aggah bal waayahay Geel beesho, day-dayna waan ahaa baryahane . I agree with you the Suusac, Meydhanaan, mayac and meymaar are all too hard for those who never drank Caano Geel. Gadhoodh, fadhi, and ciir don't have any smell at all by the way.

And speaking of it, dadka now even kaadi geel ayaa la cabooyaa, caanihii waaba la iska dhaafoyaa.

Miskiin-Macruuf-Aqiyaar Posted March 13, 2011 Eastleigh Estate Nairobi has become Somali business hub NAIROBI (Xinhua) -- Once a lackluster residential settlement, Eastleigh has grown to become an unrivalled business hub in Nairobi, Kenya thanks to a huge population of Somali immigrants. The area, christened "Small Mogadishu" is perhaps Nairobi’s most active commercial center, slowly taking over from the central business district. Many describe it as a "country within a country" with a robust economy that immensely contributes to the national economy. Business booming in the area is evident. Eastleigh is dotted with skyscrapers of which many were constructed in the past five years. On one of the streets stands Amal Shopping Plaza built eight years ago. Until recently, the building was the most stylish and developed shopping centers in the area. But upcoming buildings are taking over the pride of place once occupied by the architectural masterpiece. The building has ramps, winding staircases and elevators, features associated with buildings in Nairobi’s central business that host corporate heavyweights. Amal is a melting pot of frenzy trade for the Somalis. According to a resident, Aziz Mohammed, people travel from all over Kenya and neighboring countries like Uganda, Tanzania, south Sudan and the Democratic Republic of Congo to Eastleigh to shop at Amal and other centers. "The prices are very competitive that is why customers travel from far to shop here. "You will virtually find anything you want at the right price," says Mohammed. But it is not only fair prices that attract customers, thanks to the connections of the traders, they stock goods from all over the world. "In the shops, you find trousers from China, watches from the US, Hi-fi systems from Japan and South Korea and so on," he says. Interestingly, Mohammed says the merchandise at Amal is sold at different prices depending on the location of the shop in the building. "On the ground floor, which mostly consists of textile shops, goods are sold in bulk, although they also sell for retailers," he says. The shops in the upper floors sell goods mostly to retailers. In these shops, you will find goods like T-Shirts, shoes, dresses, suits and electronic equipment that include TVs, music systems and mobile phones. Business here however is not only based on products, there are also service providers who target the foreign population. Such businesses include money transfer and travel agencies. The Western Union, a worldwide money transfer service, is among the most conspicuous. Its black and yellow colors can be identified from far. There are also restaurants in the building, which mainly sell Ethiopian, Somali and Afghan cuisines. The Amal business model is replicated in several other shopping malls in the area for instance Olympic shopping center. However, the construction of shopping malls and other modern buildings in the area, mainly shaped by the dominant presence of Somali refugees, is slowly edging out natives. Many Kenyans who were born and brought up in Eastleigh now feel like they are foreigners in an estate they once knew heart by heart. "We have been reduced to spectators in Eastleigh. "We do not contribute anything in the economy of this area. "Everything has been taken over by the Somalis," says Japheth Kinyua, a Kenyan resident. Kinyua says the estate started to change rapidly in the 1990s when war broke out in the neighboring Somali after the then president Siad Barre was toppled. "As the war intensified, hundreds of Somali refugees fled into Kenya and started staying camps in northern Kenya," recounts the 42-year-old. Soon however, the Somalis found their way to Nairobi where they settled in Eastleigh. "They found the area welcoming because Kenyan Somalis, although then not dominant lived in the area," Kinyua said. "The influx of the refugees, he notes, slowly turned Eastleigh into "Mogadishu." And when the Kenyan government allowed Somali parliamentarians to run their affairs from the area, its landscape changed. "The Somalis started investing in the area. "We started seeing buildings that have changed Eastleigh forever," he says. While he says the development has helped improve the status of the area, it should have been controlled. "The government stumbled by allowing foreigners to construct buildings unrestricted. "Right now, the government has no control over Eastleigh. "They do not know whether the business that takes place there is legal or illegal," he says. The area, he adds, has become a haven of immigrants, majority of them have settled illegally. Previously, the Kenyan government has admitted that Somali piracy money finds its way in Eastleigh and the economy of the country. The money, according to the government, has helped push up prices of property in the real estate industry. A recent survey by Hass Consult, a real estate firm in Nairobi, indicated that prices of properties rose drastically in 2010. There are houses in Nairobi that sell for 1.25 million U.S. dollars. The value of land has also increased spontaneously locking out natives. However, Somalis in Eastleigh dismiss claims that they have links with pirates and al Shabaab, a terror group. "Those who say we are connected to al Shabaab and pirates do not know what they are talking about. "Eastleigh started growing even before al Shabaab and pirates. "We are genuine and hardworking business persons who have been able to cut a niche for ourselves in business," they said. In a bid to stem possible chances of piracy money finding its way in Kenya, the country’s central bank directed financial institutions to monitor the transactions of Kenya-based Somalis suspected to have connections with pirates.

The dubious hadith sales pitch can only go so far. Have you ever bothered looking into the chain of narration and considered the authenticity of the hadith you so willingly classify as dubious? FYI, the hadith happens to be sahih, meaning authentic. Narrated on two accounts by Bukhari and Muslim [al-Bukhaari (2855) and Muslim (1671)]. Simply because this medical alternative option seems to be a little foreign to us doesn't make it all too wrong. I bet you didn't know that Premarin, an estrogen product given to postmenopausal women is listed as one of the top prescribed medicine. Guess what it's extracted from? A pregnant mare's (horse) urine! Get the title of the drug now? PREgnant MARe urINe. Hardy-har-har. But in all seriousness, we should not be too quick to dismiss such medical possibilities. Just as horse urine has its benefits so does camel urine. We shouldn't take the sunnah of the Prophet SCW lightly. There is always a reason to why the Prophet SCW did what he did. He did not act on his own intiative or personal pleasure - he was divinely guided. Take a gander at the studies that have been made regarding this topic.

Prometheus Posted March 14, 2011 Adeer, I don't want to hijack a personal blog-thread. There's a whole thread on the topic of alternative medicine, quackery, and woo-woo therapies. I addressed the vapid allusion to premarin made by pious quacks. By the way, PubMed, though a valuable resource, indexes all manner of alternative 'medicine' journals, non-peer reviewed 'open' articles, and methodologically flawed 'studies'. In one part of the world, scientists are making break-through discoveries in cancer-screening techinques. In the other part of the world, dadyow wareersan baa kaadi geel iyo timir la wareegaya. Maa Calaynaa. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Som@li Posted March 14, 2011 ^Some terminally ill people will take anything to heal themselves, including drinking camel's urine, or cannibalism and is not isolated case in that part of the world, do a proper search of how many scams of alternative medicine out there in the west. MMA, meelaahaas ad sheegayso, waa iga danbeeyeeen, and I agree Camel milk is overrated. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Miskiin-Macruuf-Aqiyaar Posted March 14, 2011 Malika, speaking of hilib geel, waxaa isoo xasuusisay what I see some mornings. Labaa meel hilib geel lagu qalo naga soo horjeedo. Some early mornings dariishada ka fiiriyaa on the street and I see lafo geel iyo madaxyo geel lasii wado. Waa kuwii aroortaas la qalee. Waxaa kaaga daran those butcher shops aad iyo aad ugu socotaa because by 6 am waa lagu kala kacay geelkee qalaan. Come after 6 am and waxba kuuma haraayaan, waaba la kala gatay. The guy opens around 4:30 am and 5:30 wixiisaba wey dhamaadaan. Yaab. Dabshid, masoo noqonee oo masoo socotaa? Dadkiina kale maxaa la isku heystaa. Kii ama tii kaadi geel cabeyso, good for her/him. Kii ama tii cabeynin, good for him/her too. Maxaa keenay wareer iyo dood. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
