Nope. Don’t have relatives there and never been there myself. Ok, but my point still stands. I’d rather they emulate him than some road man waste yute with no future.

Its very, very common in our community. But my point still stands regarding supporting them. At the most, many male Somali elders just want money and for them to still have contact with you. TBH, that isn't asking for much, especially if you are financially able to do so.

Thanks. To an outside ear, it’s very unappealing. I wish those who are trying to sound “tough” understood that. There’s a lawyer called Hashi Mohamed in the UK. He speaks very well, as does Rageh Omar. Dignified, proud somali men with class. Young Somalis in the UK should strive to be like them.

Okay, so can you clarify for me what accent the vast majority of Somalis speak with? And why do they do that?

I discovered UK Somalis on clubhouse and I wanted to throw up. Their accents, their manner of speech. Who raised them?

Somalis have become ilbaax. Many are buying houses now.

It’s tough. But it’s your dad and he’s a Walid. Give him the money and let Allah deal with him.

Have you seen the state of Somalia? Places where Somalis are the vast majority? Nuff said. I find it revolting when especially young men sit behind a computer in their mom’s basement and criticize every little thing while never lifting a finger or solving problems.

Have you considered that this may be an issue that actually does matter to the community?

That's tough and no one wants to do the work to make that happen. Even if they do try, there is alot of red tape ( I remember how hard it was just to get Hodan Nalayeh's name approved).

Alhamdulilah! I'm sooo ready to activate my inner baddie. Fall can't come fast enough. :banderas::banderas:

I think what upsets me is how they’re left holding the bag. The woman I’m talking about already has 3 kids under 3 and has announced her 4th pregnancy. Her “husband” left Somalia late February. Imagine that? At least a woman popping out kids in the west has some form of assistance. There’s no...

Yeah but each time they visit, the woman ends up pregnant. Are there no contraceptives in Somalia? Or he could bring them from the West. It’s irresponsible to keep having kids and leaving them in Somalia while u enjoy the benefits of the West, not to mention not considering family planning and...

Yeah, they do. I’ll give them that. I’m just annoyed at the carelessness involved in making a baby every time. There’s no need especially in a harsh climate such as Somalia. And they only go back once a year (actually it’s not permissible to be away from your spouse for more than three months)...

Off topic but you know what pisses me off about Somali marriages (when the guys diaspora and the girls from back home?

He needs legal aid. So unless some hot shot lawyer wants to take on his case pro bono, then that’ll be tough. People have become educated with using the mental illness angle as justification to kill others, when stats show that people who are mentally ill are more prone to hurting themselves...

They live together though. Just curious if she’s one of those ex Muslims.

Either things are getting worse, or social media is shedding a light on what’s always been happening.

Same me too. Are they even Muslim? You can’t assume anymore.
