    thanks.

     

    my writing is a little error prone sometimes. but hey this is a somali forum and there are no grammar nazi's around. y'all should see some of the mainstreams forum. its madness.

    Who gives a toss about grammar and typos; keep writing bro, editors are a dozen a penny...

    I thought the last utilitarian died in 1956? Most people just make another username after they're banned. It's too complex. Perhaps Alha can shed a light on the matter.

    On Utilitarianism: well am still alive :cool:

     

    Give me tips on not getting banned; don't want to get me fingers burnt now do I...you sign up for stuff but who reads the fine print?

     

    Do blah blah don't yada yada...that's how my mind blanks out "terms and conditions apply", the most abused English phrase ever.

    ok. i apologies for calling you ''young'', okay?

     

    i'm on a ''benevolent mission'' and even that's stretching it far, in all honesty. wadani, i think you've been away from the homeland for a long time. the situation on the ground is not as perceived by those with lofty diaspora aspirations of perhaps returning one day. i made a conscious decision to return home. i was ''broken'' and returned with the view of cleansing my ''hybrid-somali-from-a-distince westerner identity'' of any lingering vestiges of ''western values'' and more importantly of any continuing influences of western cultural norms. my aim to create a singular and indeed complete personal identity. i was deluded and felt British dee. in hindsight, it was also my protected upbringing that misled me about the harsh realities of life. i believed in this potent mantra of democracy, multiculturalism and human rights before denouncing the WEST forever. for the next year or so, i begun a process of self-evaluation, of change, of finding purpose and belonging. i did that by coming here.

     

    my coming to somaliland trip was very much low-key, you see. i was a popular and rather active in diaspora-based pro-Somaliland events/lecture circuits but soon realise the 'group' i was cahooting with, were pathetic, khat-addled-Somalilanders-from-a-distance and in name ony. they spent their entire time on exchanging and repackaging the latest somaliland news and information, occasionally adding their own version of events to the latest developments. these men thought themselves the pioneers and protectors of 'Somaliland' in the diaspora. the misinformation and hyperbole were an attempt to manipulate the masses of patriotic Somalilanders in the qurbo-ha with the view of creating an unshakeable sense of nationhood and somalilandnimo. they'd often re-tell their dramatic stories of conquest and liberation and i was in that world. i was attentive and foolishly followed these lies in the hope that it would firmly solidify my shaky belief and weak sense of being. I was a dedicated follower in these cult circles and was hailed as the next big thing – a new form of somalilander from the qurbaha but with the lingo and ideology of cult leaders. but still, i yearned for more than mere stories and tales of biblical proportions. i came here and saw my land and realised the evil rubble-rousers and instigators, were so detached from reality and lived in a bubble, a bubble of illusory dreams and nightmare induced fallacies.

     

    for the last three years, i've been working on grass roots, organic development, development dictated by us and not them conscious efforts to rebuild the broken social fabric of this land. the people of this land don't need the usual delusional nonsense peddled by fake politicians like 'international recognition'' and other such fallacies. i feel, they need to understand the importance of sacred social values of 'trust', confidence in their own being', deference, trust in social institutions and authority. from the very outset, i felt, through the various research and papers, i wrote on these matters that crucial societal rehabilitation efforts were being ignored and considered something peripheral that the somali customs, norms and values can wholly solve. I realised that through a grass-roots, bottoms-up and an organically Somali approach, I was more than capable of developing new methods, ideas and thinking that may signal a way forward. and i feel i've achieved those aims in their entirety by blogging on SOL and 'exoticisting' my mad exploits for all to see, in the hope they may confer me with accolades, sharaf points and ever lasting success. LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

    He finally came out with it today; asked me to do a presentation a few hours before a big meeting and of course he hadn't told me about it before. Not sure if it was a test, but whatever the case I did such a smashing job (drum rolls please) he was pleasantly surprised and says now we have to start talking really seriously about my new JD and new responsibilities...

     

    Wonder what the Cheshire cat has in store for me tomorrow...

    A script is someone who operates more than 1 account. Such people have embraced the darkside fully and thus have no soul. Being accused of being a script is pretty standard. Someone will do it sooner or later.

    More than one account on SOL? Clearly am clueless on these things! People do that?

    Hey man, you should start your own troll thread. You're the most interesting character to join SOL (unless you're a script; relax it's an obligatory charge) since Apophis the great, graced this hall of old men and weird Haatu types. Do it!

    Thanks Apo; that's a high compliment coming from you! What is a script? And an obligatory charge? Am still bikra in SOL...educate me...

    Qansax, don't confuse us with the other Kenyans. They are a complete different ethnicity from each other so it's expected.

    Don't Somalis compete with other ethnic groups in Kenya in a frenetic tribal dance? Nagadaa dee, you aren't saints exactly...you play the game, just like the others.

    How can you have the guts to ask someone else what qabiil they are. Don't you feel embarrassed? I was taught that stuff was ceeb.

    It is true; NFD people don't like asking qabiil. Yet Kenya is one of the most tribalistic country in Africa. Weird.

    Makes more sense. I ask people im comfortable with which clans they belong to, and I don't think theres anything wrong with that. If they feel uncomfortable, which I haven't encountered yet, I'd just assume their engaging in projection and assuming i'm a qabiiliiste because they r. A thief deems others to be thieves, and a liar others to be liars.

    I agree, nothing wrong with asking. It just hasn't come up in my context. The only time it comes up is when older people come into the mix and they want to "know your friend"; and I genuinely say "I don't know; it has never come up".

     

    Some go round the question from the older person and others come right out with it and say "am such and such" and often times that's when I find out.

     

    Finding out still hasn't increased the slices of bread on my plate the next morning though; same ol' same ol'...

     

    I guess am one of those people who are neutral; don't mind if I find out your clan and don't mind if don't either.

    Only reason i'm asking is u said u've never seen a sand-dweller. This means u definitely don't live in England. I also doubt u live in Canada. Maybe somewhere in the states.

    Let me clarify on never seeing a sand-dweller. Walahi I've NEVER asked another Somali what qolo they are unless they volunteer. And am not bragging...

    Maygaag is a typical Somaliland name but you are not from Somaliland maybe kilinka shanaad.

    Ah, we have Freud and Jung rolled into one. And how did you arrive at that proposition? Maygaag is a common SOMALI name...could be anywhere from the Somali peninsula...
