LOOOOL but that was jokes Laughing

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.

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!! Laughing


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!

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
Laughing and demanded thier own center.

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


Laughing Laughing Laughing

somalis are useless wallahi

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! Laughing


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.

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 Laughing . Ofcourse he's just waiting to work on piece of the latest dirac from his next door store.
