The Stupidity of Somali Business Establishment.

[Qaarxiye]

Ok, for those that live in a place where somali people are quite deep can relate to what I am talking about, if you have ever visisted a somali store you have noticed that right across or next to the store is another somali store who sell the same items as the one you just came out of!!, xasidiin beey isku wada yihiin. marka I came across a cartoon sketch that profoundly illustrate my point: check it out

LOOOOL but that was jokes

Somalis know exactly how to ruin each other in business. I've seen and experienced it first hand. Why don't they just do another business and have a whole plaza with a variety of businesses catering to a wide demographic without duplicating ideas? THATS THE MILLION DOLLAR QUESTION.

[gurey25]

ive always been facinated by how they manage to stay in business let alone make money.

[Qaarxiye]

There was a store name Minihaha in my city and right next to the place was an Chinese thrift store, now right across the street from minnihaha was Nuur-Rabi 99 cent store and his other grocery store, both stores were seperated by a main heavy-traffic street, due to the location of minnihaha, they recieved alot of costumers, therefore making heavy money. people were jealous of minnihaha success, they came together and bought the chinese thrift-store and told people they will open up a restaurant. a month later they had similair name as "minnihaha" and sold the same exact ITEMS!!


Long story short............legal action got involved "court" and they lost but the Audacity and xaasidnimo just kills it!.

Gurey to answer you question: CLAN SUPPORT!

[Ashlee~]

Qaarxiiye

Where they opposing clans or from the same clan? If so can you specify?

In my city people from the same sub sub sub clan compete man. Its crazy. Somalis are sick. I know a dhulbahante restaurant within a minute walk from a dhulbahante restaurant

[Qaarxiye]

I left-out the qabiil names for a purpose.............I didnt want to create another somalinet conflict, but yeah they were opposing clans!

[Ashlee~]

Whats the point in hiding it. just say it wallahi. The point of somalinet is not too end up like them censorship filled Establishments like SOL and SS

Somalis compete on many levels in My city.

The first somali mosque was headed by darood predominately
The second recently opened Isaaq
and now hawiye want to open one

The first somali radio was headed by daroods
The second Isaaq
The third hawiye


DO YOU SEE THE TREND?

[gurey25]

Thats why somalis suffer when it comes to Life in qurbo.

What about the community and social centers.


I remember that in Sydney the government wanted to Fund Somali community center, and the thier was fighting over who would be in charge.

the Somalilanders said thye were not Somali but somalilanders
and demanded thier own center.

The Same with the Ogadeen said they wanted an Ogaden Center.




somalis are useless wallahi

[Ashlee~]

AFTER 15 years of heavy migration too CANADA SOMALIS with a population well over 100k have a few dozen restaurants and a couple of entrepenuerial stores too show for it and NO COMMUNITY CENTER SAD WALLAHI

[Qaarxiye]

Yeah I know what you mean sxb........but in my city there was pakastani/Indian hypocrites running mosque, they were very racist to somalis. it got to the point where they forbid somali food to be brought to the masjid due to the fact the "We" cant distinguish pork from beef, they hired the newly converted black-muslim to stand at the door-way and physical deny entery to any somali that appears to be carrying Sambuusa during ramadan to break thier fast, anywho after the Maqrib prayer the oodayaasha took arms ( bikoorat ) and even took the mic yelling Injustice!


So the somali people got together and bought a church that was closing down, now here's where the problems accurs, the Ogaaden already had the spot . I guess for thier community purpose but lack the money, so the shieks had the money and didnt waste no time, they name the masjid al-ansar and moved on. but to this day many Ogaadeni who feel betrayed dont pray at that masjid.

[ABSAME']

[Qaarxiye]

Both masjids are like 3 minute walking distince apart, the kool thing for me was, when my pops would ask me how come I didnt show-up during casar prayer at al-ansar masjid, I would go I already prayed at the pakistani masjid since I was closer to it, citing fake alibis! knowing I was at a party or something

[Raaxeeye!]

A/salan Atto should have created many cartoon clips. He's good at it indeed!

I really fell sorry when I see all the Somali malls selling most of their stories mainly Diric, and surprisingly one Harqaanle dude right next to them . Ofcourse he's just waiting to work on piece of the latest dirac from his next door store.
