Lol Oromo ladies do this too but not by a lot of them anymore. A lot of them tend to steal your money, or sometimes hold jewelry for you and steal that too.My aunt asked me recently to join this common Somali cultural activity. In entails pooling money, and every month (or whatever interval of time) giving that money to one of the members who contributes money.
My mother is also a member of this system and asked me to join.
I thought about it for a second and realized that you'd be better off just keeping your own damn money in the bank.
Why do Somalis do this? I asked my mother and aunt and they both said that they just can't control themselves and keep money in the bank, so it's a way to force themselves to safe, I guess.
My mom doesn't get along with the rest of the Oromos, so her and a few Oromos and their somali friends started it together but that was some mistake they made. One lady stole so much jewelry and money from them and now is in jail.
