Mooge Posted February 1, 2016 Yesterday President Gaas visited University of Health Sciences in Boosaaso which is a unique school in Puntland and well respected because it teaches people practical education. niyoow we need more of these schools instead of the fake so-called universities popping up every village in somalia.

Illyria Posted February 2, 2016 This is the right direction. No nation ever progressed farther without sound industrial and engineering sectors. Vocational training from the medical field and technical expertise to architectural and civil engineering to political technocrats and civic society organisations etc., are badly needed to advance. People who cannot install bathroom glass doors, as i witnessed, have no hope in hell in the now. I would ban all pseudo unis and with it its naming convention, and in their stead create polytechnics.

xabad Posted February 2, 2016 ^ Nomadic society has an aversion to physical or manual work of any sort. Tanners and metal smiths are looked down upon as Midgo and ostracized. My Grandfather almost got disowned by his clan for making his family leather shoes. Tinkerers and mechanics have been weeded out of the gene pool, what remains are mechanically illiterate men with soft ladylike hands who can't figure out the simplest DIY tasks.

That is how we got some of our clan names like: 1. Biyo-maal - fisherman 2. Muruq-maal - labourer 3. Tu-maal - blacksmith 4. Soo-maal - nomad Before the advent of the accursed clan system, this was the Somali civilisation's socio-economic caste system. Basically, the nomads out-bred all the other groups and therefore took over the land subjugating the rest in the process. The skilled groups eventually became the dispised tiny minority.

Tillamook Posted February 3, 2016 ^ It stands to reason that your hapless predisposition and nature would lead you to rally around the weaker segments of Somali society! LONG LIVE THE NOMADS? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
