Somalis in Africa are happier than diaspora ones.

Imagine not working, having maids to cook and clean after you, a driver to drive you around while your diaspora relatives slave away in the western world sending you money every single month sometimes twice a month if you have a lot of family in the West.

Excuse me!!!

I don’t want my faraax cousin marrying multiple xalimos and expecting me to raise his kids and take care of his wives.

My family never ask my family or I for money but my parents feel bad and so do I. They looked after me when I first stayed in Somalia as a child and have continued to welcome me whenever I make the journey back.

The greatest time of my day is speaking to my family back home, mostly my Abti and my ayeeyo. Inshallah my ayeeyo stays alive for as long as possible.

quit being so stingy, average income in the third world is like a dollar a day you can easily put them in the top 10 percent off low amounts being sent back, don't you feel prideful that you have your family living like kings in some poor place like Kenya or something

It's due to living costs being very low in 3rd world countries compared to the West.

Talk about misplaced priority, they live on charity but hire maids and drivers

They give their Kenyan driver a list to the grocery store!!! And I’m in MN wondering how much tip I should give my Uber eats driver.

inshallah technology will make it easy for these kind of things in the future

 

[Muji]

I know a xalimo who couldn’t be bothered to take her kids to school so she moved to Kenya

 

[Wiil_Facaye]

Baadiyo is the life though

 

[kickz]

Money always stretches so far in Africa

I think I might switch to a 6 month consultancy engineer and live like a
King there half the year.

There's Java house in Nairobi.

 

[Mahacagalla]

It's not worth it. You'll miss out on so much out west. They definitely have a more content life though.

 

[Gambar]

I can only stay tops half a year even with those luxuries. They’d still switch places with us even with those luxuries. They think the west is jannah despite living a lot better than the people sending them money.
