Lol man read Isak Denisen her book out of Africa. Scandinavian lady who had a farm in Kenya over a hundred years ago, she wrote in her book she has never met a people more clean than Somalis.

In the book she talks about Somalis as a whole, but I think the Masaai comment is about soldiers and guides and other male pioneers. Most people will never believe but it is right there in that book, Somalis owned section of Nairobi when the Bantus were nowhere in sight. Somalis, Masaai, the English, and the Indians that came with the British, each had their own sections of the city. The only Bantus who lived in Nairobi were the workers for the British

Somalidu waa dad islam. ofcourse they know cleanliness. its part of islam

[Shirib]

Warsame,

what book are these pics from saaxib?

[snoop12]

Gaaladu qurunka talking about cleanliness to a Somali is a JOKE

is if they knew the arts of showering or brushing your teeth before us, how embarrassing that we were being characterized by people who themselves were centuries behind us in that department and still lacked basic hygiene


Vo its not like we dont run Kenya now
