Somalis are never honest about full income lmao. The minute I saw that figure I knew it was cap
This happens in Canada too. A lot of families will pretend the husband is not in the household on paper to get welfare meanwhile he’s present and working. So the household income seems way lower than it actually is
I actually heard of this where the family claims the father was left behind in Somalia while the wife takes benefits. The real father, however, is a pretending uncle who works and lives with his family. Don't Somali families recognize they're engaging in haram activities?
What's even worse is when they collect all the money. They can use it to take their family out of the impoverished neighbourhood they're residing in but instead, they use it to build a new big house back home and send money to their relatives.
Somalis really need to break out of this cycle.
