As many of you know that around this Eid time one must remember the uncles, cousins and the needy relatives.
So I used worldRemit to wire money from the comfort of my home here in the States. I no longer go to Dahabshiil because why should I when I can drop that money in my people's mobile phone?
There's one hiccup with this method tho, I mistakenly had one single number inserted for the intended person's number. It went to a random xaliimo in Hargeisa. Fortunately it didnt mistakenly go to Buhoodle
Here I was feeling blessed that my uncle received his $200 when few days later the man orders his son to whatsapp to say "I havent received the money". Therefore I went back on the website to look at it and to my my horror I had made a mistake. I called that number and a girl answered and I explained to her what happened and she was so understanding and told me that she knew it was a mistake because she wasnt expecting any money from anyone. So she didnt touch it. I gave her number to my uncle and his son and they got their money.
Just imagine if this money landed in South Galkayo
