Somali National Independence Day Manchester 2019 (me reading a gabay)

[Darwiish97]

Here is a video of the SNID celebrations held in Alexander Park, Princess Road, Manchester.

Skip to minute 36ish and my gabay recitation begins there, I read Sayid Mohamed's gabay called 'the Death of Richard Corfield' or Gabay Koofil in Somali

Whats your feedback/opinions/remarks guys

 

[QueenSamaale]

Is that seriously you, wow your Somali is great.

As for the gabay, your flow and voice were nice. I didn't understand much, maybe it's because of the dialect.

The habaryaro throwing the Somali flag on you were funny.

Yh sis its really me, one of the organiser ladies who's friends with my mum came to my house and I overheard them talking about their preparation for the celebrations so i offered to read the poem lol

and true the poem is complicated since it uses a lot of big and some archaic words that bewildered me as much as u initially haha, till my mum clarified their meanings for me.

bless the habaryaros they werent expecting me to drop it like that, it was too kuleel for them i summise

Big Up princess Street! I’m coming next year, you done really well cuzzy!! Proud of you, your Somali is A star ⭐️.

Thanks, Somalis generally preferred (dunno about these days tho) to marry outside their qabil to build relations with another clan, its good to marry within the Somali ethnic group but even better to marry someone outside your sub-clan at the very least and someone whose from a different clan family if you can
In future i might end up marrying an Isaaq girl lol even tho there's hella beef between my people and theirs, the Somali Romeo and Juliet haha

I seen a Soudani go out with a Xamar so what’s the worst can happen the diaspora is constantly changing.

If my Father were alive he would be so proud of me! I’m his legacy, Aun to my Abo ..

Born somewhere.. on the 23/05/1930

Yes you read right 1930, my Father had me at 50 years old so you Somali men that haven’t had kids yet are okay .
Females, if you’re in your 30’s time isn’t on your side and before you say I had kids young I’m blessed on that. Have kids and keep it moving, if you’re not insecure or ugly within yourself you can get another one.

 

[yas/London]

If I can attract a man looking like that anyone can get a man. Stop being insecure

Idk about the Somali clan demographic in manny but I’ve seen a lot of isaaqs and darods along with gadabursi and abgaal and xawadle hawiye, I’d guess the majority is dir (including isaaq) and darod
