Do you think we should turn the cock back to the 1600s? There is no point in claiming to be in 2017 when like you said, our country and our entire way of life resembles medieval. Let's just start from 1500s, admitting our failure and uselessness as people.

A gem of a grand mother you have bro. They are always stubborn and set in their ways but very dignified and believers. Dementia and other age related issues rear their ugly heads at that age. It is why I am not sure I want to live to that age . I am happy to exit this world healthy while I am still capable of moving and have brain function. Don't want to waste anyone's time taking care of me or to live helpless.
PS: I JUST called my grandmother and she was very happy. She advised me to pay for Hajj/Pilgrimage on behalf of my dead parents. And she showered me with lots of Duco/Prayer. I told her it was her prayers that enabled me to advance in life and be successful, she liked that and started even praying for me more. She confused me with her other grandson though at first, then she realized it was me lol. Then we had to restart the whole convo again. She is really old.
You made some ajar today posting the topic without you planning on it
Bye Now.
That's what my uncle does when I slap him with money when he is least suspecting it. I just call him and say "there's money for you at dahabshiil ". He always showers me with epic duas. It's sincere too cause there's other times I just call him without sending money yet he gives dua for free. The way it makes me feel when he is giving me dua
My maternal grandpa always massages me on the head while spitting some dua on me. I kind of like it.

My grandfather passed away couple of years ago he was 100+ AUN. My grandmother passed away not long ago too. I haven't met the other two they died before I was born. My grandmother died the same month I was born. She wanted to meet me but never got toI hope I meet them all in Jannah i'a.

I've only ever met my maternal grandmother once when I was a kid and she passed away a few years after. She outlived all my other grandparents by several decades which is pretty crazy now I think of it. My paternal grandmother passed away a day after giving birth to my father, and my paternal grandfather passed away before my father turned 5. Even my materal grandfather died in the early 70s/late 60s. I remember how bizarre it was to hear my hooyo call my ayeeyo hooyo. AUN

I think you're suffering from old man syndrome, pretty sure you're confusing her with someone else

My grandparents passed away before I was born
Some of the comments I used to hear from my paternal Ayeeyo as I enter the house and leave the door behind me wide open was "Muxu albaabka la ballaqan yahay? Ma siilkii axado gabayraa wuxu, war naga xir albaabka duguf duguf layntaada ma naqaane".
She was straight up in your face insulting you if you made a mistake. She raised her kids, all five of them by herself since my paternal grandfather died at a young age in the city and my father and his siblings became orphans that way. She was healthcare worker and used to work everyday. Her mother(My great grand mother) raised the kids with her and she also used to work doing manual labor to raise the young orphaned kids with her daughter.
Role models both for their children and my father and his siblings grew up very educated. They were raised by two women who acted both as mothers and fathers to them.

Sorry to hear that man. Your parents though? Still around? Their death left a gaping hole in my heart for the simple reason that I didn't pay them back as I wanted to when I made to the US.
But I do still pray for them in that if Allah accepts my prayers for them, they are better off than they would have been without a son and they were in trouble now in their other world.

Yes. My dad sponsored them in 1991 and we all live together alhamdulilah.
Bra, I think you meant "clock". Someone would have pointed that out so I am being the first and correcting it for you. And we aren't useless but afflicted with a disease that is hard to cure, What we are capable doing at clan level can be done at national level together as one, that is all there is to understand to fix our problems. Otherwise, Somalis are good people. They just need good leadership that does not mess with and misuse their clan devotion. Somalis do good with honest leadership. Because they are inherently good people who would help another Somali regardless of clan membership.
We need good leadership from the clan up to national level and things will be fine.
