Only warriors who killed their enemies in battle field, that put the feathers in their head

@Mohamud

@Adheer Warsame @Mudug-Madman

 

[The Cushitic One]

And none of them are OVER WEIGHT

Do you think men chewing chad has done this made them have big bellies and futos and bidaars?

@Mohamud

These Somalis lived hard lives and ate hilib only. None of this basto crap. The midgaans in particular look more muscular as they worked the harder manual labor jobs(blacksmith etc).

Remember that back then we weren't corrupted by the british or italian food.

 

[Prince of Lasanod]

Guy on the right looks old, but look at that hairline. It's not in our genes to have bidaar subhanallah. I am so happy.

 

[Adheer Warsame]

Because they ate good food and were working all day. People getting fatter is a global trend, not just a Somali one

inb4 hairline on point because their hairlines weren't surgically fixed by doctors @ the barbers.
