What is a Soomaali name marka? Sayid Maxamed Cabdulle Xasan? If foreigners write Soomaalis with their version of our names, it doesn't mean the person wasn't Soomaali. Some foreigners until now write Sayid Maxamed Cabdulle Xasan's name as Sayyīd Muhammad `Abd Allāh al-Hasan. So in a few centuries, someone like you will believe he wasn't Soomaali because his name was spelled Sayyid Muhammad Abd Allah al-Hassan. What in a Soomaali name was that asagoo leh waliba. Be careful just following how foreigners spell the Soomaali names. It may mislead you completely. For all we know, Axmed Gurey's full name could have been Axmed Ibraahin Gaas or Axmed Ibraahin Qaasi.

How is "Lamme " or " isniinta " related to Gariir, here it is: When Gariir is being played, and you want to count your numbers, numbers in this game are counted in shan-shan, you start by saying this: Lamme, lamme-kaale, Litte, Litte-abuure, Aw-loojin , this is like saying, one two three four and five. So Lamme or isniinta as being the first day of the week in the Somali Calendar, we can say that traditions has evolved and oral literature has being passed generations to generations. So we can say that, the game "Gariir" has supported this word "lamme", please don't confuse with Lammo which is number two,vowels in Somali language are dangerous and extra careful is needed. There was another game, but its seems the word Lamme has being misused, the game is called, "Kuun-kuun", again, it is an adventure game played by girls, when the counting begins, one says "kuun-kuun lammina , lammina-tabaaraka, sarta-una-baraka-siyeedoow-walax, hakayaa, wa.celaa baxayaa" . As you can see, the word "Lamme" referring to as being one has being maintained even though little bit of vowel misuse happened. The originality of the Somali language is something that needs to be appreciated. I am now gathering information about Somali Numbers, and the Somali Calendar Year even though ancient people used Somali Seasons to refer to years. Nuunka, gacan ayaa ii taagan. Lame laba ayaa loola jeedaa, waana lama as Afmaayga iyo Banaadiriga lagu dhaho. Marka 'lame' gariirka lagu dhahaayo dhagaxyada laba laba ayaa loo xisaabinaayaa, shan shan ma'aha. Same with 'kuun kuun laminaa.' Kuun kuun waa koowdii, lamina waa labadii. Toddobaadkana maadaama 'axad' ka bilowdo, isniin marka waxee noqoneysaa 'lame' ama 'lama' -- maalinta labaad. Marka saa u fahantay ma'aha xaalka.

Saaxiib, for the first time in my life, toddobaadkii hore ayaa xabsi gudahiisa arkay. Qof xiran ayaa booqanaaye. Rajoxumo iyo caloolxumo kala kulmeysaa markaa aragtid dhalinta iyo barbaarta Soomaalida oo aad u tiro badan ku jiray xabsigaas. Waxeeba ku faantamayaan qaarkood anagaa ka talino saldhiga oo wey naga cabsadaan shisheeyaha kale. Eebbe ha u sahlo.

Kenya, a land with 43,000,000 people and 47 tribes, plus in as many languages, did not opt for federalism after a long process. Their final option? Decentralized unitary state, which they implemented. Our neighbour is doing that should give us a pause, tell us to take off the clan-interest ookiyaal some are wearing. Let it not blind you. And what is federalism about if one has its own army, marine, flag, printing its own currency, sending and receiving international envoys without notification or coordination from the central state. Or if one invites a known occupier of Soomaali land. What in name of federalism in that is federal?

Yaabanoow, wali ma wadaa 'halgankii' golahaan?

Plus, federalism isn't for Soomaalida iyo Soomaaliya. It isn't a new idea. It was around since '50s. A minor, self-clan interest-seeking Soomaalis supported then, led by marxuum C/qaadir Soobe. He spent his political career in '50s and '60s espousing this very idea, even going as far as to Qaramada Midoobay's General Assembly in '50s. He wasn't successful. Neither will this time. People and lands opt for federalism for reasons known, such as great landmass that separates people within a country, ethnic divisions, religious divisions, language divisions -- Soomaalis, as far as we know, do not have any of these divisive issues. Clan issue is nothing close to that.
