razzberyy?
why are you so much interested in somali affairs, do you have any somali lineage or blood?

Now you understand the Janjaweed attitude of some of our UK youngsters in here , Razzberry.
They ain't no different than me { the 2 most notorious are from my clan, lol} it's just their environment .

Sad but true! Somali child is black and muslim meaning more discrimation from all sorts!

I don't believe everything they say, its a whole industry..and it's in many people's interests to over-exeggerate and get more and more government funding!!

Describe yourself, r u hot, average, semi-average, ugly, unappealing, distasteful mise foolxuma kasiiir?

that shit is not true walaahi. somali children in the city i am from are one of the best students and achieve the most gcse's

there is a primary school which was the worst school in the city, and now became the best school in the city for the last 2 years. the principal came to the mosque and siad that somali children make up over 50 percent of the population and have made the school to become the best primary school in the city.

i agree in places like london and birmingham somali kids underachieve, but where i am from, school, and teachers love somali kids. even the highschool i went to somali kids made it to the most improved school in uk.

^^lol! I can hold my own in the looks department.

^And in which city may that be?

a primary school where 50% of it's student are Somali is quite unusual, not heard off and probably is just a made up figure based on nothing.

Cardiff City

school is called taylor it does'nt say about being 50 percent somali. but the area is full of somalis and the principal himself came to the mosque, he was invited there and gave a lecture, he said the school is 50 percent somali.

I think the underachievement of Somali children in the Uk maybe has to do with the fact that London is a very expensive city and when you're an immigrant, you will inevitabely live in bad neighbourhoods. Thus, the school district in your area will be very poor. I think Somali parents need to move from London and go to a more affordable part of the UK.
