In your post yesterday you were complaining about the ways the diaspora Somalis try to differentiate themselves from the locals and act important and here you are doing the exact same thing you are complaining about. After living in this place all these years you still consider yourself a "foreigner" and seem to bask in getting one over the "locals", which in my mind includes you too. You're a local, accept it and stop "othering" your people. Jesus!! i think you're being a little harsh here. i have never made any attempts to differentiate myself from my surroundings. this is my home and i have good relationships with my neighbours and the surrounding area. i'm complaining about those who through conspicuous behaviours and outlandish statements seek to have the upper hand by basking in the glory of their perceived difference. what in text prompted you to accuse me of acting important. please provide examples. as i'm sure you're already aware, i tend to keep myself to myself and do not seek vantage points against my fellow reer Somalilanders. for our cordial relations, please stop make ludicrous statements.

Africanown, will there be a presidential inquest into this tragic killing? please advise. Al.

do puns exist in the somali language horta? i went out to buy some stuff at a new supermarket. i always like to try out new shops and see what they're offering. good customer service, adeeg hufan and value for money are the things i usually look for. i went to this shop called barqawo-maal or something. i inquired about whether they had soap and other international standard toiletries. on the soap - this tent-cladded assistant came forth with new soaps. himayala herbels and vatika were the brands. i asked to see all four colours on display and properly in stock. yellow - was nourishing LOL blue - was moisturising LOL red - was cleansing LOL green - was soothing LOL i scrutinised the box and read the directions for use. luckily it was in english. LOL i then asked for the usual brands i buy - lifebuoy and dettol. she didnt have them in store. she genuinely was sorry. LOL then she said take the yellow one as it comes highly recommended. really? i thought.....she then proceeded to explain how she uses this type of soap and how its done wonders for her skin..... she said:''its soapy and really creamy and i just love to rub it all over my body....''. how inappropriate, i thought, laughing within. LOOOOOOOOOOOL i bought all four colours and paid $1.5 for each. i got a discount of $1 after haggling. LOCALS 0-1 ALPHA! RESULT!

yes! wats up! wats good!

good news.

LOOL@Apo, absolutely! but only if buying an expensive car upon arriving that will then pay for your return ticket back to the west....is the success we're inundated with...LOOOOL!

in continuing my somaliland rants, another important pointer about ''fakeness'' is to never preach more than you can deliver. LOOOOOOL. what is often seen and heard from.....probably has NO value. LOOOOOOOL. an empty vessel makes a loud noise. LOOOOOOOOL my musings tonight are about the so called ''ilbaax'' people of this land and their pathetic ways. 1. this local guy by the name of Libaax LOL,whose a friend of a friends, recently insisted upon inviting a couple of us to go to his house for a session. i wasn't particularly fussed about going nor did i express excitement at the prospect of going. unbeknownst to me, this calculating casuumad was an attempt to showcase his impressive array of talents LOL and more importantly possessions. 10mins in and after the usual pleasantries were exchanged....came out the Diesel bottle. it was a little odd seeing it at first but we spared a few biffs of it, here and there. after the bottle made its way back to him, he consciously uttered in the most excellent ways that this expensive bottle of fragrance was a gift from aboard and in saying that conversely further denigrated somaliland. couple of hours later and at least 15 to 19 further examples of how well he's doing and how influential he is....... i got bored of playing second fiddle and sarcastically remarked ''Libaax, couldn't you find these goods here in SL? there's the potential for a high-end boutique for those with ostensibly ridiculous amounts of money......'' . he responded by saying - ...speaking of that, i've just leased two large business premises to my friend from the US and we're looking to source these goods with a visit to China LOL. i then asked if he was also going to china, bearing in mind that i deduced from his word that he was going too.....LOOOOOOOL. he gave me the coldest stare ever and quickly said my american friend will do the trips to china i'm not usually like that but i couldn't bare it ruunti. i was suffocating in his toxic nonsense. this guy has deep seated insecurities. 2. another guy from holland who epitomises the xagayaga ??? lot, a term coined by my friend, was telling a group of us about his recent 'business trip to nairobi''. y'all should have seen this guy. he made going to Nairobi like it was the greatest thing outside of Somaliland. he didn't speak like someone who'd gone there for ''business interests'' but perhaps for a no-thrills-all-inclusive-expense-already-paid holiday. i don't know about his ''business interests'' but i know he's broke LOL. suddenly and out of the blue he produced a couple of different 'foreign' cigarette packs and then mockingly said to my friend - i would've got you some malboro reds if you had told me before i left. LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL. somaliland is teething to the hilt with these xagayaga ??? types. any opportunity to display these 'ilbaax' world traveler traits is an opportunity fully exercised. my friend was explained the meaning behind these traits once and said ''somaliland is full of those who all too often make references to where they are from and where they've traveled to so they often draw direct comparisons with somaliland. eg. in england we had roads, in england things were done differently, in england most people queued at the banks....thus, in short somaliland doesn't possess these traits........ while all these traits are very important, i feel these reference are often engendered and performed for 'power-dynamic' reasons. LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL the somaliland elite and in particular the diaspora community is a mix-bag of people with varying personalities, attitudes and consist of different abilities and experiences. this is seldom discussed and i feel all the resentment directed at the qurbo-joog community is largely justified. its usually the individuals with nothing to contribute to somaliland, who too often glamorous their ''westernness'', if such a term exists. in somaliland, the qurbo-joog people have the opportunity to remold their person, their characteristics, exaggerate their skills, and invent and assume a new identities without limits. certainly, there should always be question marks over their relative successes and large-than-life stories. if you pry into their previous life then they are very quick to change the subject. i don't like it when a job-seekers allowance claiming degenerate assumes the new life of a madax sare big-shot. their attempts to lull the locals into believing their lies involves displaying a wide range of characteristics and but is not limited to their: dress sense, language power dynamics in using 3 words of ''accented'' english in every sentence in somali, conduct and general 'ilbaax' mannerism, they are also usually quite conspicuous basking in the glory of their 'foreign passports'. in using these traits at every given opportunity, they inadvertently or perhaps deliberately further demean and insult somaliland. i say let them carry on with their delusional ilbaaxnimo! we are not interested in their big 'mashruucs' and civilising mission pathetic undertones. Al.

i knew it. apo's a recent immigrant to west london from nairobi. no wonder his sentence constructions are near perfect. apo, have you been given passport-ki weyna eh casa walee?
