People in Somalia have better lives than us

[Robin]

I firmly believe people in Somalia have better lives than us. Western countries have a better standard of living but the cost of that is struggling through school and dealing with long work hours. We also can barely afford to live with all the things we have to pay like rent, cars, and medical coverage. People in Somalia are poor but most people in the West including the middle class are not better off.

Also Western countries are isolating. You can’t see your friends everyday, if you’re lucky you get the weekend to see them when you’re off work. We’re so incredibly busy that we can’t even enjoy basic things like company as much as we would like.

In Somalia you have your next door neighbors you see everyday and you can have a conversation with anyone at the drop of a hat. You can’t do that in Western countries because the culture is antisocial and people keep to themselves.

We also live in cold climates. Half the year Minnesota is a barren icy wasteland. I want to live under the warmth of the African sun. Wallahi I envy those who live in Somalia. My family wasn’t affected by the civil war I don’t understand why they came here My heart yearns for Xamar. I watch videos and I feel such envy seeing people play in our beautiful ocean.

It’s a long rant but I wonder if anyone else feels the same?

AS MUCH AS I LOVE SOMALIA AND SOMALIS I AM VERY THANKFUL FOR LIVING IN THE WEST

As much as I love Somalia and Somalis I am very thankful for living in the West

As you should be Somalia isn't a good place to live maybe in the future but not RN

That being said, when I make enough money, I'd love to retire in Somalia with a new 18 year old wife.

Inshallah I’ll go back one day. I’d trade all of that to live in my own country. Not knocking anyone else who prefers the Western world, but I’d rather have a sense of community and the peace of mind of living in a Muslim nation where my ancestors came from. Somalia is not perfect but I think the positives outweigh the negatives.

Anyone else can gladly take my place as soon as I get the resources to go back.

Xasiid not even going to warn them of the dangers it may be safe for witches but not for regular people

I was much bappier there, once I get a streamline income, off to Somalia

 

[Leila]

@Robin I have family members in Somalia and Kenya with maids to do their cooking and cleaning meanwhile we work our ass off to pay the rent and bills .

Somalian tahribers on line 1....

Niggas are willing to go through potential enslavement and almost guaranteed death to get to the west

 

[Exodus]

This is quite possibly, the stupidest shit I've ever had the displeasure of reading.

 

[VantaBlack]

They 100% have better lives in Somalia than in the west.

I noticed that people are happy and mostly carefree over there, whereas people here are stressed about so many different things.

It is hard to believe but it is true!

You werent living there. You were being subsidized by your family in the west.

It was a vacation. Live and work for a living there without assistance from remittance.

Exactly! People are getting mad at my simple opinion. We all know how most of us barely scrape by in the West and what for? There is no reward living here.

Meanwhile in Somalia even if you’re scraping by you have the luxury of living in a Muslim nation among your own people, and never feeling lonely or disconnected. Some people can’t grasp the possiblity that they might actually be happier living there than in the West.

 

[BetterDaysAhead]

I DONT RECOMMEND ANY SOMALI TO LIVE IN SOMALIA UNLESS THEY’RE ABLE TO SET UP SOME SORT OF PASSIVE INCOME STREAM IN THE WEST LIKE WITH RENTAL PROPERTIES

 

[Timo Jareer and proud]

True. That's what makes Somaliland such a fun vacation spot for a month or two. People are far more social than in Canada.

Wallahi they would abandon their maids in a heartbeat just for a descent non bumpy car ride
