How Important is Your Mum's Tribe?

[Siyaasi]

There is a Somali say "Abti waa hooyo aan naas lahayn". which means your Abti should be on the same level of love and respect as to your mum.

 

Laakiin waagii dagaalada waxaa dhacday in dadka qaar ay dileen abtigood gurigiisa kusoo koriyay.

Alpha, that is good to know mashallah. Nothing will happen next week when he leaves lol...just keep that relationship going, relationships are not just one-way. Find him next time..why do you have to wait for him or any of your mother's family to call you. Take the next move. Good luck.

 

Moge's mom is from taleex? LOL...sheeko xariira taas miyaa..

[Malika]

This is what is wrong with clannism - you start looking at people you love and care for as 'clans' instead of your beloved abti iyo habaryar. Do I care for my mothers clan? NO - but I love my abti.

^well put. Such an odd topic. I have no personal dealings with my parents qabiil, love my family on both sides, intaan aqaan anyway, but apart from a few years back home when I was a child, I didn't grow up with cousins or aunts or uncles close by. I've getting to know them in recent times but it was my neighbours and hooyos friends children that have filled that gap over the years.

I am close to all my Abtiyo and Habaryaro as my mom was close to her family. We were thought to love reer abti and reer adeer equally although i grew up with reer abti so i can understand people knowing one side of the family more than the others.

 

It really should not matter, all you need is mutual love and respect, qofkaad wax tari karto tar, qofkii kalana meeshada uga ducee

Shuush, ayeeyo. Just like me, you're "pure gold" and have no say in these mortal matters.

[Juxa]

^^ what is yours like Ngonge? do they shake head and leave the room cause they simply dont understand your ways?

[NGONGE]

^^ That's all Somalis, not just my reer abti.

As for what mine are like, dee they're all as sweet as my ayeeyo above (as far as I've seen, or maybe it's because they think I'm "arab").

Blood makes you related. Loyalty makes you Family.

[Juxa]

Blood is over-rated ninyow. There are people in your life you love more than your own siblings or blood family. Indeed in life you come to appreciate loyalty and friendship.

[Blessed]

^Agreed!

 

loool@ pure gold. Love it, ayeeyo. and thanks for the compliment.

[Ibtisam]

Lol bless and ngonge. Blessed I'm upset you are not cheering for my dear Edo. Lol.

^ the last of the eastern habro contingent to ruin this thread. IBZ, is it true that in those parts of somaliland that incest is rife and family relations are encouraged to such an extent that its considered a 'moral duty' to marry your first cousin?

[Ibtisam]

Stop begging wary. I now get that this thread was just your usual attempt of my clan is farah fantax weyn. Sad yad yad ya

[Alpha Blondy]

^ actually IBZ, i'm illegitimate and a wacaal. i care not for tribe but for my friends only. my whole foundation has been destroyed. the only thing left for me to do is to take my DNA samples to the national geographic genome project because maybe like nimco yassin i can discover my true identity.

 

can i count on your support laakin? and do you promise not to ostracise me until we get the results via DHL?
