best advice i got in my life was in grade 3. one of the teachers told me to never compare yourself with others.

it's only creates, envy, un healthy jealousy and unhealthy stress.

we were okay 30 years ago. we just do not have visionary leaders who do not think outside their tribal lenses. people who make changes not building. accually people who make the buildings not otherway around.

Exactly that is the point. This is a comparison between the people, as much as it is a comparison between the countries. Somalis need a wake-up call to show them that it is up to them to build their country, to love their country, to work for the interests of their country, just as other have done for their own countries.

Putting our heads in the ground and dreamily saying "Somalis are amazing, very entrepreneurial and resilient Masha-Allah" is just not going to work anymore.
