I think some of you lot are unaware of the UK education system (unless you are one of the 80% of somali boys in Britannia who go to prison instead of getting uni education even though tuition is loaned to you by the government, unfortunately somali boys dont take advantage, this is why we have so many somali girls marrying foreign guys because for every 10 somali girls in uni i saw one Somali guy and we all know how our girls cannot bring home an uneducated farax, i dont blame them since uni is practically free in this country and so many chances to study, but instead somali boys tend to )
anyways, i finished what we called secondary school at 16, A levels (i think yankis called it college?) at 18, then 3 year uni degree at 21, Masters was one and half year and PhD 4 years PhD scholarship (my theses in The Affects of Patents on Economic growth in the United States: a case study of the US software and Pharmaceutical industries Patent Analysis on employment and GDP growth between 1981-2011" was converted into a book by my university for a 100 year ownership deal in exchange for the publication to help me win the scholarship as it was Distinction grade- wallahi it was the highest in the class, this is why i won scholarship alhamdulilah, thus by 26 PhD was in my pocket in Econometrics and Logicum (Matrix Maths) ,
my cousin did his engineering doctor PhD by 29 as he took break,
when i was doing my masters in London i had an american chick aged 26 from Yell doing masters in my uni , aged 26, i was shocked, but then an american dude was 25, students from america, canada, norway, denmark were all several years older than us British kid, all aged beyween 25-34 doing masters ( Spanish students spend 6 years doing bachelors which is equal to us British kids doing 3 years.
mum was a school teacher in somalia and Britan and dad was an economics major till masters degree meaning education was a must, no ifs no buts, every OG family i know their kids had no choice but to go to uni till PhD, no ifst no second guessing, from a young age (we had 9 OG neighbors in our tiny village in the outskirts of London, we had no choice in what we wanted to do, it was pumped into our heads that education is compulsory then in the summer holidays every OG kid i knew was shipped of to Garrisa for daqan celis to learn the language, OG parents are very strict , but i am greatful, parents need to puish their kids, this is why chinese and indians are very succesful compared to blacks and whites, even though blacks and whites from rich nations have practically easier life then Indian and chinese back home, my parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles and OG friends of my family would tell me dont stop till PhD, basically i was encouraged from a very young age and ideologically instilled in me, blacks and poor whites are not encouraged or pushed as much as indians, Chinese or Ogadens.
but i am grateful, we were asked to pick between engineering, medicine or pharmacy, my family nearly dis owned me when i said i was doing economics with maths, they were shocked,
at aged 13, 14, 15, 16 i was not allowed out in the weekends, monday to Friday it was school, then revision night, weekends was quran and more revision, did not help mum was a science teacher and in the holidays it was working in the family business or going to Garisa for daqan celis, I was actually banned from hanging around with white kids and Jamaican/ jareer kids or going to their houses, i was only allowed to hang around with somali (they preferred Absame kids, to be honest was advised against being around non Absame, and i could only bring Absame kids to the house or family chicken shop)
at the age of 16 out of 9 somali boys in my year, 1 died fighting the Ethiopian invasion AUN, 4 went to prison for rape, 2 for murder and only two got out and managed to go to uni, one thing all those loser kids had in common was no parents, single mums or raised by aunt/uncle/grandmother,
i am grateful on the strong eye my family keep on me, and my uncles inviting me summer holidays to work in their business in London or abroad or being shipped to Garrisa to learn deen and keep away from bad influence, when i went to uni i was disgusted to even look at madow or cadan kids and hanged around them, i only hanged around OG or pakistani/indian students, i developed a strong sense of racism,
Ogaden mothers and fathers are very religious but incredibly competitive, they believed if their kids fail its them failing, education is a must, out of 9 Ogaden families, (Bah gari, Makahiil, MZ, Cabdalla and, Cawlyahan Absakuul Absame) we all had minimum Masters degree, if we failed to get good grades we were threatened to be shipped to Africa and married off to a cousin, thus we were all competitive like indians and Chinese and in summer we were only allowed to hang around with each other, at one point this Abaskuul guy used to come home,late, his father took him out of uni and took him to china to work in the family import export business, his uncles gathered and gave him a good beating in Gariisa for a short holiday then sent to Hubei, lets just say he learned his lesson when he came back, never came home late, he was 19, this is how boys should be treated, like a the nazis did to their children, make them fear the parents.
Alhamdulilah that is why i am successful, good parenting, i am fortunate to have been born Absame. I sometimes wonder where my career/education would have been if i was born another tribe! Dr. Teeri.
