We should pool our money!

[Subeer]

Every member of the somali community, rich, poor, muslim, atheist etc should pool our money and circulate money in the community, so we can have economical, and educational growth.
The money should be used only to open business, schools, lawyers etc so we can employ the generation of newly graduated somalis, so they dont have to deal with discrimination because of ethnicity, and name.
We shouldn't be stingy and look out for ourselves only, but see every somali as a valid member of the somali community.

Kulaha pool our money, I don’t even trust some members of my own family

Nobody is going to look out for you.
The chinese look out for their own.
The jewish look out for their own.
The somalis should look out for somalis.

 

[GoldmanSachs]

You really have an idealized and rather unrealistic notion of Somalis.

 

[Fang4]

we have ayuuto for that.

 

[Geeljire Sandheer]

We have higbad already

They have shown their credibilty through hagbad, which is the same princip just on a smaller scale

True, it’s just that some Somali’s abuse the sympathy of folks and scam them out of their money. I even know some old Somali ladies coming to blows because of a ayuuto scam. If it’s legit I’m with it all the way.

Im talking a large scale of money pooling, for other purposes

Somalis can do that if we use clan and trust to our advantage

I can definately see how it could be problematic, but if this would be a reality it would the first thing we would consider for sure

Except Hagbad is done through close relatives. But any sort of mass undertaking that crosses clan lines/regions because of some idealized Somalinimo? If you're willing to buy that, then let me tell you about a bridge I have for sale.

The chinese used to be tribal, and have enmity among them, if they can leave their tribal ways nothing should be stopping us.

@GoldmanSachs im talking about somalis in the diaspora

 

[ColloquiallyFluent]

This seems like a good idea.

We can't even employ this tactic in our homeland, where we have the freedom to develop an economy without difficulty and you expect us to do this in the white man's country.

How would the TAX issue be handled tho??? Islamically

Basra isn’t stuff like what @Comewithrealness Is talking about happening in Minnesota?

@R.Kelly has the big Somali community in Ohio done anything similar to what this dude is talking about

I know In san Diego there is a charter school filled with a lot of Somali kids. With Somali teachers and etc.
