Somalis crack me up man...they treat favours as an expectation and have the audacity to make demands when they're in a fetal position. I wonder how an entire nation picked up that dabeecad, cuz I see it everywhere I go that has a large Somali community. Walle the Greek government had every right to shoot each one of them ON SIGHT.
Abti anyone who says otherwise is a cotdamm liar. One thing Somalis (in general, although there are exceptions) aren't known for is their gratefulness. For example, acts of courtesy (holding the door open for someone, helping a random habar who's carrying something heavy, giving an oday a lift even though u've never seen him before a day in ur life) don't even get a grateful response and usually not even a thank you, and are instead met with blank stares and quick departures. I sometimes wonder if acknowledging the fact that someone did something for u is just a Western thing, since i've lived in Canada for over 20 yrs...dhulkii anoo yar baan ka soo qaxay, lakiin I have a hard time believing this is just a cultural thing and it's part of our dhaqan...cuz how the hell would an entire nation function like that? Actually wait...I just realized Somalia ain't functioning, so maybe it IS part of our collective dhaqan
Ur right sxb, but the way I see it, it's a snowball effect. It starts off with not being grateful for favours done for u...then eventually ends up in you going apeshit when those favours aren't done. The thing is, reer Europe, reer America, reer Canada...waa isku wada mid, mid midka kale ka roon lama helaayo. Not to go off on a tangent, lakiin I forget who it was but someone here was saying something about going to a Somali-run masjid in London and the SOMALI children were the only ones running around as if they're orphans, the SOMALI women were the only ones competing with the Sheikh in who could be louder during his muxaadaro, the SOMALI men were the ones driving their family to the masjid and parking their cars practically in the middle of the road...and the funny thing is, I go to a Somali-run masjid for Tarawiix here and it's the EXACT same thing here, not one single difference. All the other Muslims of other nationalities seem like deaf-mutes when the Sheikh is talking...lakiin u'll see Somali odayaal turning around and forming little discussion circles like there's not a Sheikh with a mic at the front of the masjid giving a lecture. It all goes back to a basic disregard for common decency, and a sense that "waxaan rabnaan sameen karnaa, yaa wax naga qaadi karo?". Edab daro to the fullest. Marka dambena, we're gonna end up approaching the government and saying "hey...liisen me, why a SOOMAALI is no bresidhin of thiis kantry? Walle i will brotest thiis buulshirdh"
Wara Youngfresh,
In My area the Somalis make up about 80% of the Masjid. They come drop of their kids in the day and leave them there until after Isha using the Masjid for a daycare. You see a packs of Somali kids with no Parents around there. Then at night, the Fathers will come, get in a crowd and blast the Masjid administration that just babysitted their kids for 10 hours free of charge. They never, ever give money donations to the Masjid, and infact never do because they "Don't agree with their manjah/policies etc." but guess what? The Zakaatul Fitr name list is all 100% Somali. In addition to that You have the habaro that come in the masjid with friggin canjeero, shah etc. and treat the musalla like a lady martiqaad. On top of that at any given time You're liable to find some of those habaros ripping each others hair out before the Salah while the other Muslm Ajanabi are watching in shock. My Aunt became so disgusted with Somali behavior She wants to pray in a different mosque but was like I'm afraid if I do, the ladies who stopped coming to this masjid will look at Me and be like "Oh snap, they followed us!!"

Wallahi the same thing happen to me when I went to Gaalkacyo for the first time, I stepped on a man in the airport, "Raali ahow sxb" baan ku iri then some guy oo taxilee oo ka qarabanyey airport oo rabay inu na kaceyo even though my uncle told him dad baa ino so socdo oo yara dahay he insisted on driving us. Anyway the guy was behind me and heard me say" raali ahow sxb" he then pushed me and said" waryaa jiljileca iska dhaaf waxyahow ma naag baad tahay markad rali ahow ledahay?" I was like WTF? waryaa ma falan tahay? qofka haadi aad qalad ka gashid waa la rali galiya waa xaq, ninkan waan ku istagay wuuna dhici garay. The weird thing is? lacag in aan siino ba rabnay wayo alaabta bu ino qadayey,laakin we told him to take a hick, dabecad xumadas lacag iyo shaqo kuma heleysid.EXLUSIVE

Grateful, young man like you went Burao for short holiday. He used to do grocery shopping at local store, soon he got his change back he consistently say THANKS. However, the store owner didn't like this habit and find it passive and very femenine. One day store owner said to him Waryaa naag yahay naagtu dhashay maxaad sida raga ugu hadali weyday
