They have soft hair most of the time they are skinny not muscler. . Xaaji you make reer Borame sound like Sri Lankans, not the Tamil, the Sinhalese?

I thought reer Laascaanood were the epitome of Somali beauty, at least the women? Your description here is at odds with what I hear or is it just my imagination because my first crush Ladan (see the other thread "Your First Crush?") was from Las Caanood and she was stunningly gorgeous...

Many "states" in Africa are artificial, but the worst are Ethiopia and Nigeria with ethnic and religious strife...these two countries are huge and can not be compared to pansies like Kenya or Togo or Benin - little inconsequential countries trying to punch above their weight in international/regional politics. Yugoslavia waiting to happen in my view, the seeds have been sown by the North/South divide in Nigeria (plus Biafra) and by Ethnic nationalism and brutal dictatorship combined in Ethiopia.

My father was very good at jiibsi, RIP.

Ah, Faisal Roble is at it again? Can the man have a firm stand on things, he keeps flip-flopping....

Ok. Enough of saar and mingis, I think we have explained it over and over ad nauseam...now back to the original question/thread: your first crush?

Wadani;911320 wrote: What's the difference between saar and mingis? Two types of saar, a normal folk dance for fun and also spirit possession is called saar. Mingis is strictly spirit possession, no fun there.

Define special skill? Would a high IQ be considered a skill or a blessing?

You need to orient SOLers that RAO means Raila Amolo Odinga, and the polls show a narrow lead of between 4% and 8%. I am convinced there will be a re-run; he can't have a clean win unless something dramatic happens in the next 6 weeks. And yes I know a thing or two about Kenyan politics...

Ah finally a wise voice from on high, thanks Oba. Can we get back on track? Your first crush please, no holds barred!

And what look is this? I have no idea.

Haatu;911191 wrote: Mingis according to this English guy is a 'special' dance folks do in the South to get rid of the devil possessing the person. It includes 2 men whipping each other, an old farmer from the river banks eating luubaan and going ecstatic and some funky dhaanto like dance. But who knows. Saar, mingis, spirit possession. Ethiopians also call it Zar. A scholarly paper here: http://digitalcommons.macalester.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1121&context=bildhaan

Seriously? You've never heard of mingis? Like the most common affliction of Somali women...ma kaa dhab baa nin yahaw?

There was one called Fa and her sister Jiija, unfortunately half the time Jiija was preoccupied with Fa who had mingis...she would just convulse out of a sudden and talk in tongues (and no she was not epileptic)...ah yay yay...she used to wear something around her neck to keep the jinns away...too much drama.
