Most Somali adults are Iliterate

[Oxy-]

WHY?

Both my parents can read and write english - Ive noticed that a massive majority cant read or write- some even struggle with speaking a correct sentece in english. I understand if uve only been here a few years- But my GOD some have almost been in the Uk over 15yrs

The other day on the bus a somali man got on and said to the bus driver

"I wana go to ....eennn eeennn maxay ahayd een ... Haa Alwan road... near Alwan area'ya" wtf ?

bus driver replied "that will be 1pound 50"

oxy it gives us the youth who grow up here the chance to know about our culture

they came here to help us get a chance in life - they've lived life - its up to us to make a change
so with the knowlegde of both cultures - people will have a better chance of success -
YES DIIN IS IMPORTANT - but so is knowing who you are and where you're from
cooking aint nothing walaal - its a trait someone picks up if they come from a islamic background anyway - so its nothing to do with culture

and i am smart ACTUALLY -
