I think, it will be close, but Habartu will pocket it at the end.

As much as I would have loved for Barack to win, it is impossible. This is America, and US ain't ready for a black to lead them, yet. therefore, don't let your emotions to cloud your judgement. Mrs Clinton will most likely take the nomination along with the presidency.

^Right. Last time they had the crazy home support, now the finals are gonna be in the West of the continent = less A-rabs and more Africans, therefore more support for Ivorians. I ain't even sure if Pharoahs can make past Angola. We shall see.... P.s. i like the make-shift gym.

^too much pride ain't good for the soul, me hear somewhere...

^Well said.

MMA - 10000000% correct. President of the nation = public life = therefore his words deserve scrutiny. Period.

Group B is the real deal. Coté d'Ivoire and Nigeria with Mali, now that is a group worth watching. I think, Coté d'Ivoire and Cameroon will be in the final. That is my prediction. Ivory Coast is my team. With their current strength and experience and with some good management, this team can go far in the 2010 world cup. Glory to the continent.....It is about time we have something to be proud of. Maybe sport will bring some pride to our dear continent.

That, my dear sister, is stuff of dreams, but the reality is, in all probability, a far worse replica of Mr Yeey is going to take the wheel and, unfortunately, the misery will go on. I'm to paint such a depressing picture, but that is how things are unless there is a miraclous intervention occures.

As if her presence/political comeback in the Islamic republic wasn't bad enough, now they've elected a 19 year old kid to run a political party and a possibility of running for premiership just cause he was her son and shares a name! Dispicable, i say. And the fact I heard some so-called students/analysts verbally supporting the naming of this kid as a successor was simply shocking.

Give the man a chance. He might be (magically) up to something good. I don't expect anything good to come out of any of the current baboons in the land, but hey, he can do no worse, right? Better to have tried and failed, then never to have tried at all. Actually, in this case, he shouldn't have tried at all, seriously.

For some reason, there are alot more Raaxo Raggeedii out there...

There is no such thing as instinct or 6th sense, it is all pre-conceived hogwash. When people usually follow their so called instincts and realise they were wrong they usually go, "I thought that it/she/he/they was/were....blah blah blah...". Jump deep in before you instinct it. Instinct can sometimes can cloud your judgement. Most of the time nothing seems what they're, and in today's world one can almost say nothing is wht they seem to be!

It is funny but ridiculous. It is not the size that matters, it is what you do with what God gave you. I know it is a clitché, but it is widely believed to be true. However, call me old-fashioned or whatever, but isn't it disgusting that your future hubby is choosing you on the basis of your manly prowess? Damn, what is the world coming down to, eh?

^lol. Giriig-na waa Greek ee ka waran? Af soomaali: Birta gaariga lagu qaado.

The disheartening thing is that the PARENTS themselves see educating their kids in a western ways an advantage. It is not about the quality of the education or the school or even what their kids are taught, it is the fact that they're taught by english speaking teachers, and if the school curriculum is a western one, it is a huge plus. It is the thinking that is wrong. The whole mentality. It is a feeling of being inferior, and it sucks! Plus it is prevalent in the muslim world.

Muslim kids who go to Islamic schools in the west are better off either way. Islamically, they usually come out educated and with good manners and Educationally, they tend to go to the good higher education institutions, at least in the UK, to the point where non-muslims wanna send their kids to muslim schools. I think, the same can't be said for the western schools in the muslim world. Just an assumption. I could be right though.

Does this mean the end of committing a crime here and doing the runner is no more? So, Somalia is not a hiding place anymore, then. Good. But the question is; anyone can hide in Somalia as long as you're smart enough and have powerful people that could back you. This, to me, is a bad precedent. Take a brit life and we will hunt you down anywhere, typical.

The reason for the award was to give the african leaders who perform well in their posts a nice perk to fall on to when they leave office. Similar to the western leaders money-making lecture circuit after office. So, it is an incentive to govern well. Plus, remember, this Ibrahim fella is coughing up the whole 5M, so respect to the man.

Why do those who support the Yeey admin take the somali name in vain? Somali gov't ku lahaa. It's a Amxaaro qandhicil leh-backed bunch of nothing-ers. It is an insult in so many levels to call such a crap a somali gov't.

Bal car nin soomaali madaxa ka garaaca oo run gareeya soo hela............Ma jiro. Finito. Siyaad used same old doctorine used by many others before him to p!ss on the people of somalia, and i think we deserve it. However, whatever the reason, from '91 it kinda got out of hand. It has gotten slightly brutal or as they say heavy-handed. Best somali leaders (sorta elected ones): 1. Aadan Cade - a real democrat. Elected fairly and stepped down fairly and freely. 2. Ali Sharmaake or Sharmaake Ali - Again, elected but his presidency shortened by the killing. 3. Barre - Came by the sword, run the land by the sword. However, gotta be honest, the first big chunk of his tenure made hell of a positive change in the country. No argument here.

"I’ve seen really ‘Plain Jane’ boring types, who have nothing to offer incredibly wealthy guys. Then I’ve seen drop dead gorgeous girls in singles bars in the East Village. What’s the story there ? " CHOICE AND LOVE! NOT CASH!

^hahahahahha. Indeed.

I just love it when I hear us the young grabbing life by the b@lls and taking things into our own hands. It is really beautiful and enriching when you get that buzz. Entrepreneurship is, bros and sis's, the way forward. Good on you, poster.

On the other hand fellas, war is a money-spinner. Look the riches venture capitalists and US/Western firms are making in Irak! I wouldn't be surprised if they take out another middle east state under the false pretence of dismantling their atomic capabilities. Another shock and awe is gonna be a great tv, though.
