Somalis are Blessed

[Somalia]

We are not freaking blessed, omg.

[oba hiloowlow]

people consider the fact that somalia has had a civil war these latest 22 years.. I say give somalia maximum 5 years.

[somalee]

We're blessed for real. I think Somalis generally have a higher IQ than most Africans. I also think Somalis are the bravest, most courageous people in Africa, nay, the world!

[Xaaji Xunjuf]

Somalis are far from blessed having Big land in the Horn of Africa resources are also Minimum means little . But dadku waxay isku dhaafeen wax qabad eeh maha we are blessed ama cursed.in lugu murmu, Waxaasi wa qalbi caruur wa adigo is og inad fool xuntahay intad murayaada hor istaagtid tidhahdid waleh waan qurux badanahay ma anigo kale. Somalidu wa noocaas niyaday isu dhisaan wax jirin Somalia iyo Somaliland xoriyadi waxay qateen 1960 maantana iyaga ugu liita markay dhaqaalo mashaaric dhismaha dalka eegtid siday umadu u nooshahay, u eeg qaarada africa oo dhan, Djibouti 1977 xoriyaada qaadatay iyadguna waxba isla ma hayso.

Nin isfaanshay heee......

 

there is nothing special about Somalis, although kheyr illaah na siiyay hadana caqli/nabad aan ku cuno maheysano, on top of that we have this over-dependency addiction.

Somalis are like both bitter and sweet on the same spot but overall we seem to be cursed. Muxuu yidhi MLK: Darkness cannot drive darkness, only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate, only love can do that

Oba, listen to the Xaaji. It's one of those rare moments when he speaks wisdom.

Lol. If you're going place any value on IQ tests then you'll be happy to know that Somalis and Ethiopians rank among the worst in the world.

This IQ test assumes some exposure to formal education and familiaitry with western modes of thinking and conceptualization of problems, so one has to take the results with a grain of salt. Somalis are definitely an intelligent group of people, at least when viewed as inviduals and not as the retarded collective we form lol.

[DoctorKenney]

We are far behind almost every country in Africa in almost every category imaginable. So no, we're not blessed. But do we have potential? Of course we do. But one has to look at the crime rates of the Somalis living in London, Toronto, Minnesota and Edmonton to realize that there is something seriously wrong with the Somali people. Our troubles are chasing us even into foreign countries. It's a disgrace

[Wadani]

It's not that something is wrong with Somali poeple, it's that something is wrong with Somali parenting in the western world. They raise children here as though they were still living in Somalia, and this has been a critical critical mistake and it's effects are now there for all to see. These parents were naive enough to believe u could have 7 kids, raise them in a run down crime infested and poverty stricken neighbourhood and that all would be fine and dandy.

Somali kids have actually assimilated a little too well in Canada. The problem is they assimilated in to crime ridden cultures that plagued the poorer neighbourhoods of Toronto during the 90's, starting the cycle we see today.
