QansaxMeygaag Posted January 21, 2013 To paraphrase Chinua Achebe, there is nothing wrong with the Somali people, the Somali soil, the Somali water, the Somali air; the trouble with Somalia is a failure of LEADERSHIP. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You're kidding, I hope. Somalis and Ethiopians are amongst the best students in overseas schools. I've seen this myself. I believe Somalis from Africa, for instance Kenya, are much better academically compared to those who were either born or have grown up in the west.

Nin-Yaaban Posted January 22, 2013 That's because most Somali Kenyans never had any disruptions to their schooling, unlike us Somalis who had to flee the war. I remember back in HS, most of us Flight 13's were required to take ESL classes, while most Sijues didn't had to do it. Even the recent arrivals from Garissa seemed to speak better English than ur average Somali. Man, there were a lot of resentment against the Kidhogo Kidhogo people back in those days.
