FOB or Say Wallah?

[Nura Osman]

Which one do you think is better to marry a FOB or a Say Wallah? I am a first-generation Somali just for context, I was born and raised outside of somalia.

 

[xiin-finiin.]

for you, i'd say say-wallahi. You def can't handle a FOB imo . and i'd say FOBs should stick to FOBs, unless the FOB stayed in the west for a long time and is kinda westernized.

Say wallahis are cute and innocent most of the time
Fobs are something else, reminds me of the quote, you can take the African out of Africa, but not the africa out of the african

If you where raised in the west then go for the say wallahi. A say wallahi can always become more cultured and better verse language wise and you both share culture from being raised in the west.

Yeah they are just built different. If you can deal with it then go for it otherwise the cultural difference will cause issues

What kind of cultural differences?

The same cultural difference that makes you call one a fob and the other a say wallahi.

If you grew up in the west that means you have grown up with a hybrid culture unique to somalis in the west you have more in common with other western born Muslims culturally. Fobs are culturally purely just somali. Us who grew up in the west are not culturally 100% somali but we can be if we go back and settle down in somalia.

I guess the main difference is the difference in how different the formative years is for a western born somali compared to a fob.

No, you either have Africa in.you or don't, no way about it, anyone who says so is confused or hasn't been around enough Africans or been In Africa long enough

Been on both sides equally and blends into both

I would opt for someone brought up back home, with a few exceptions. The grit alone, not to mention resilience. Second place, the 'ya halla' crowd.
