Horta ma ogtahey baasabooorka adduunka ugu qaalisan inuu hada yahey Kuwait. Somalia can turn the tables around, in my view, waad arki doontaan, Somalia of today will not be the same of Somalia in 5 years, that is right, 5 years. okey, that might be of little bit out of the mark for some people, recently when I met a guy from the UK, a white guy who owns some businesses in Kenya and in the Middle East, after long discussion, then came the question about passports, he asked about what is the most expensive passport in the world, I told him Brunai, no he said, I told him Belarus, he said no, he told me it is Kuwait, and Somalia will overtake Kuwait in few years time, I asked him why he thinks that way, and continued to say that all eyes will be on Somalia for the next 10 years, he continued to say that he is observing the development in Nairobi to get some billions of contracts, his main business core is RAIL & AGRICULTURE, he said that he wants to be the first to develop these areas before anyone else does, and if they do, he will buy their business, asked him where is he going to put the profit, and he said he will invest inside Somalia, and employ local Somalis and pay them good wages, I told him since Somalis can own the business he has in mind he doesn't need to employ them they can set up easily, he said, that is the problem he has with Somalis, very different from other Africans and that is his main concern, very authoritative and not care how British or white you are, that is some of the reasons Somalia will be a heaven for Somalis in few years time, and continued to say even Microsoft and Google in Somalia will be slaves in Somalia and won't be acting like kings as they do in their Nairobi offices!! Here are my indicative scenarios: Half of Somalis in the diaspora will return home permanently within 10 years Somalia will have laborers from Asia & Africa to fill the growing market jobs, this will happen on 2018 In what way is the Kuwaiti passport more expensive than the rest Mr nuune? Is it because of the quality of the paper it is made from?:confused: I think you are missing the point of this article. There is no price tag on national passports unless of course it is in the black market;) What this article is comparing is the relative usefulness of the world's passports when it comes to the ease of travel and access to all the countries of the world. The British passport(ka cas) tops the list because the Brits have unfettered access to a staggering 173 countries thanks to the power of the British diplomacy and economic and political influence. The Kuwaiti and Emirati passports are not as good for travelling as those of western countries because those Arab nations despite their enormous wealth are not as influential as the west. Luxembourg is a small country and yet its passport is more important than that of Saudi Arabia thanks to its relationship with the other European and western powers.

They predicted the collapse of the Somali state itself at the time of our independence. Therefore, these guys do know a thing or two about how the world is run, because they run it from their capital cities.

This is so sad may Allah forgive their sins and bless their souls. This has become a recurring tragedy afflicting our people. The Islamic scholars should speak up against this dangerous and unacceptable gamble with life our youth are taking for promise of a better future.

May Allah bless you abundantly. Thanks for reminding us.

Is it difficult to get with the local women? Where are the places to go? thanks I think the larger pharmacies in the town centres sell condoms but it is better to take your own supplies. I don't know about Bosaso but Cali Mataan mosque in central Hargeisa is a good place to ask for information. They know a lot about illicit sex with the local girls and are a helpful bunch.

Everything that exists and ever existed in the universe was predestined by Almighty Allah before they we brought into existence. So it does not matter whether you are part of a very large family or the only child of your parents, or whether your birth was planned or came about by accident, your existence on Earth was written down long before you were born.

Data or not, I find privileged qurbo joogs telling mothers back home how to live their lives distasteful. Who are they to tell mums not to have another kid or to have 4 instead of 6? Why have kids at all? When she could have that nice big house to herself. 3 children or not, somewhere down the line there was a big family that didn't have much. They grazed the lands and tendered to the camel. The more the merrier to do this. If they were to 'plan', for reasons unknown, its likely you wouldn't be here today. But, because of our culture (more so before the wars), large families were the norm. There are large families doing well in the west. You are comparing apples and oranges. Having a large family is a necessity for our nomadic population but is a disadvantage for those living in urban areas. A large percentage of urban Somali men are technically nothing more than sperm donors to their wives. They contribute nothing to their families be it economical or parental support and only reappear every night to impregnate their poor wives. The offspring of these walking sperm banks are usually in the lowest socio-economic level of the society both in our countries and abroad. That is why Somali youth in the West perform so badly at schools and form one of the largest prison populations among ethnic groups.

Enough to build homes back home and drives new minivans lol. This is pure haram money made with dishonesty and white lies even about the legitimacy of the children. No wonder why Somali youth are the new African Americans in Britain constituting a disproportionate ratio in the prison population and in the mental health institutions costing their host country dearly. When will Somalis take heed of their religion and realise that there is never any Baraka in cheating and theft.

Anything which makes the US troops marauding around the world to pack their bags and return home on budget planes is most welcome

The Somaliland flag has the universe's most holy inscription on it so it should never be worn on a dance floor let alone by dancers.

Banning HB for his views on Islam is tantamount to communist style censorship. There is absolutely no insult of any sort in this thread, just his views. If criticising a backward and barbarian cult within our religion is taken as an insult to the faith itself then SOL must declare its official support for the Salafi nutters and "Islamic dictatorship".
