The #1 reason I signed up on SomaliSpot.

What do u mean socially it's third world? Any examples?

It is a rightwing, highly competitive, shallow, image-obsessed shame-based culture that has some of the highest suicide rates on earth. It is also the plastic-surgery capital of the world. It's also got the highest work hours in the OECD, but it's one of the least productive.

The only competition Somalis like is how many times they garaac'd their enemy in the bush or how many wives they married or how much Western aid they received compared to the other clan enclave.

 

[Steamdevolopment]

I read many of your posts. They heavily lean towards political affirmations.

We have a very small population and people will always be taken care of. We know Somalis want social services and a country that won't leave anyone behind.

This is why Singaporeans property market is 80% subsidized housing.

The unfortunate will be taken care of.

What I'm talking about is Capitalist system and brands our country.

Somalia slogan must be "Green. Safe. Tolerant"

I think what you are looking for is social-democratic state like that Danish, whom is also build on a homogenous and ethnic supporting the same services.

He can't because he's never boarded an Korean flight.

He's never been to Korea. I can tell you first hand; if you showed them what they look like today 50 years ago they wouldn't never believe it.

Korea went from being a Donar recipient to Donar Nation in one generation.

Korea is an amazing country there's so much you can learn from them

That's the exact opposite of third world. It's the inevitable end-game of a first-world secular, hyper-materialist, turbo-capitalist society. But I agree, their society is pretty messed up.

I agree, we can learn a lot from them and Singapore, but there are also things we wouldn't want to learn or bring back to Somalia.

I remember reading a thread on here. Someone from SL was arguing with someone from Somalia about who had a bigger annual budget.

It was 200-300million I think. This is what companies in the west spend on Research and Development annually.

And these neefs are bickering about pennies, while there's gold under thier feet.

 

[Lord Flacko]

The only reason I'm on this forum is because, believe it or not, the crockpots on here actually have answers to our problems unwittingly.

As a capitalist I noticed the business forum is dry and barren, while the political forum is filled with answers to every problem, but none if you will every return home and start a business in any infant industry.

"Every Gobol wuu Guuley" is the motto cushitic capitalist must learn.

My question to you the Political guys is that; when you come up with a great idea to stop foreign fishing companies as an example; why don't you describe ways of raising capital, traveling to said invaders country and opening a trading business and court their fisheries sector into buying your fish? Why not just lease a vessel? Why not cease a foreign vessel and just keep it for yourself?

We all know who kept Somalia on life support in 91--it was the entrepreneurs. They helped people secure thier homes and charged fees to send you images of the destruction. They set up money transfer companies so you can take care of your families, the started airlines to bring you into the country. They imported goods, opened clinics and even bought buses to transport people around the country.

Why is everyone on her fixed on politics?

As a capitalist, the market will favour you if you adopted some of the ideas you guys mention into your operational manual. From sustainability, resource management, human capital training and so on and so on.

So I ask, why do you political gurus give us capitalist just great ideas on this forum?

Or better yet, you know when companies launch a product or a beta software that can get consumer feedback prior to launch? Well, that's what this forum is for capitalist. I didn't come here to learn about your Qabil. I came here to learn how to give them jobs and get a ROI.

Somalis future is in Private Equity and yet you neefs keep promoting inequality.

I dabble in politics because it can be intriguing, but I've long realised it's a useless thing in Somalia. The private sector is the only thing that can propell Somalia and Somalis.


I've decided to not mention my future plans, but I do have them. Everything from capital to connections to implementation. All I can do is continue on my path at this moment.

I said socially third-world. Economically, it's done stunningly well for itself, but at huge cost. You misunderstand, to be a socially advanced nation one must have in place policies that promote social well-being e.g. minimum income, welfare safety net, free healthcare and education, equality in schooling, promotion of maternal/paternal duties, stringent human rights/employment laws etc

Get into Private Equity my friend.

There is no stock market in Somalia, there are no mergers and acquisitions.

The private equities in the west buy delisted companies and structure them to make profit and sell them within 7 years.

In Somalia it's the opposite of the same equity coin.

YOU MUST START THE EQUITY

People sleeping on gold while killing each other for Xoolo. The private sector is the way to go bro.

How much do you need for something as complicated as that?

This sums up our sad state of affairs rather well. The Somali mind is parochial and myopic.

When South Korea had economic reform the military leaders in charge formed an economic council. They approached several businesses including what is today Samsung. Guess what they asked them?

...The regime told the business elites we will write you a blank cheque if you can tell us what you need. The rest was history.

I would rather have a Somalia like Korea were people jump off bridges because and commit suicide because the culture of hard work and competition, than to have people do sucide bombings.

Go to Korea today! They got there because of Capitalism the Korean way. Somalia needs to do it the Somali way.

I'm aware of that. I'm not at all against capitalism. I'm against a completely free market, but that's an entirely different debate. You seem to be severely underestimating the importance of politics. It's a foundational building brick to a successful nation with a successful people and businesses.

Can you not see how Korea then as a government, is ahead of us now? Do you think that our government would be able to do what Korea did tonight? I don't mean in theory, but in practice. Yeah.. I don't think so either

You sound so gross man!

Do you know how much work we have to complete for the likes of politicians like you?

We solve the problems and pay the people.

Wtf do you guys do?

Is it fair for you to pay Taxes in Canada for profits earned in Somalia?

Chose your next words carefully.

I didn't misunderstand. We just have different definitions. But I understand your point.

What are you babbling about? Who's "we"?

The government cannot pay for social safety nets without first having a strong private sector for a tax base.

You're putting the cart before the horse sxb.

edit: actually yes. If I'm operating a Canadian company, I don't see why not.
