Hooyada waas mofo bacteriaSome thing here in Norway.
It’s not remittance it’s reparations for the British colonisation of SomalisPeople who come from Somalia are not used to working 8 hours a day. About 25% of households live in remittances.

It's a myth that UK Somalis are mostly unemployed or lazy people. The truth is, the UK Somali community are more adept than Israeli mobster at laundering or hiding their money from the government. If these gaalo investigated your average hooyo's average spend, it would blow their minds.
How can their kids live a comfortable life (well-fed, good clothing), go on yearly long distance holidays, pay the house bills, and still have some money left to send remittance regularly? All of this but on the same budget as Stacy the chav who's kids look like they've just climbed out of a chimney? How can you call this hooyo anything but a genius?
