Wuxuu yiri 'Wiilkayow, waan ogolahay in aan afar kuu guuriyo balse marka ugu horeysa hal aan kuu guuriyo, marka xigtana sadexda kale'. Wiilkii waayahay ayuu yiri. Markii inantii ugu horeysey loo guuriyey oo Aqalka inanta loogu geeyey ayaa wiilkiiba war laga waayey illaa subaxnimadii dambe. Dadkii oo ka warwarsan waxa reerka cusub heley ayaa Aabihii soo direen oo ku yiraahdeen, 'War Ducaaloow, war bal reerkii cusbaa orodoo bariidi oo waxa heley soo ogoow. Aabihii markuu aqalki yimid ayuu intuu iridka joogsaday wiilkiisii u dhaqaawey, deedna wiilkii ayaa aqalka furdug dibada ugu soo yiri isagoo qaarqaawan oo uu daal aad u badanna ka muuqdo.

Feeling kinda old in SOL years, are you Northerner? Hang in there son, you will never walk alone .

Paragon: It is not exactly going to be bed of flowers..is it? Cambaro Somali women, bed of flowers? Ofcourse, they are. Bed of flowers that is, especially ours (Somali). Jaqjaqdooda ayaan ku raaxeystaa anigu- a sort of comedic entertainment. Markay gafuurka taagaan ayaanba ugu jecelahayba, very cute . I shall marry 4 at once.

^^Lol Xiin. Shukran sxb. Balse, I think Laba-Xiniinyood is the sort of man who can do this job. He has a good observation and interpretation of things. Xiin, adigu maxaad isaga saareysaa safka sxb?

^^Lol. You think so? Does Nurofen help? I am shopping now and gathering good practice tips .

May be it was cheaper by the dozen?

When was the last time time you guys/girls heard of this song? Waxaan dhashay anoo xor, waxaan dhiman anoo xor ah! by none other than the legend himself Abdi Tahliil. This is a song of the era. Here is another classic (if you were a Radio Mogadishu listener ) song: Dad bey meeli bugtaa . Rumour has it that the song was C/Yussuf's favourite . And this is a treat for our fellow clannists: Qof waliba . There is no garabsi . 'Kana ila qabiiliyo kanan qolo wadaagnaa, qarankeedi jebinnoo, qalqalooci madhayoo, qola qola majoogtoo, qormaan wada mareynaa' sings Maxamed Saleebaan . I was born a free man! And I shall die a free man! Viva Somalia PS: Enough for a good citizenship lession for today, eh?

So bask yourself in its rays while it lasts And live and laugh at your life’s height For even one kissed by the summer’s light Though becomes merry for a time prescribed Surely awaits seasons of mist and wintery a night Carpe diem...

Keeping in mind that this is a secular society, I would like to know, are children as young as 5 taught religious education?

I feel as though religion will soon become commodified in order to sell it as a product. A greater preparation of commercialisation of religion. To be packaged as token-experiences affordable by the tired consumer (who needs a short break)

Lol. Well, what can I say? Nothing for the time being really. I will keep my silence.

^Is that so? Accepted into a society circle, I wonder. I shudder at the thought of being among the enlightened throngs of society. I fancy myself as a sailer with the potential of becoming a pirate some day . So that rules out some of us for harbouring impure anti-social thoughts. Shame on us (me actually), indeed. Going agaisnt the grain has its thrill. Really.

What makes me happy? Singing 'Jamaadeey, wax jacayl aan moodaa, intuu jilibka ii dhigay, i jibaaxay anigee. Jiribtiyo dhibkaan qabo, jini qabe shabeeliyo, Aar jimicsanayaa, Jenyaha i saaree.... The rest of life takes care of itself.

Do clarify yourself, young lady . Whatever for should one be narcissistic and pretentious I must enquire!

The Eskimos or the Mongols? No no, the Somalis especially those living in Northeastern Kenya are said to the be the first victims. According to an older article published by the Guardian newspaper, 'African nomads', that is, Somali nomads, are 'to be first people wiped out by climate change'. As the terminology goes, these first victims already have the misfortune of being dubbed the 'climate canaries' which are 'the people destined to become the first victims of world climate change'. Read all about it. For many years now, that part of Kenya has seen longer droughts and shortened rainfall seasons. As the rain season becomes shorter, the resulting environment becomes even more fragile in that the tendency to keep large numbers of livestock only deepens the deterioration of the soil. While nomads frequently seek an ever disappearing comodity, or pastures, they leave in their trail a deforestion on a scale never seen before. Every nomad family in its destination to greener pastures cut down the few remaining trees for fencing. This is followed by a trek of the camels and the hoves of the cattle that reduces the soil to dust, which creates severe types of soil erosion. Whenever it rains, floodings become frequent due to deforestation and constant soil disturbance. Soon as the rainy season ends, the whole region becomes a drought zone again. Whether the difficulties these nomads face is due to global warming or not, the lifestyle they lead isn't surely helping. So just as I proposed ealier (in Quit Pastralism, Practice Agriculturalism)under another nickname in this section of the forum, I would like to ask again, is it not the right time to usher in change on how our nomads live, or should we wait until the first million die?
