Obviously, it is not good for the mind of these youngesters and it is not a good caqiidah but when you look at the environment, you would say let it past. Remember, you are dealing with nomadic and oral society. All they want to say is "Nin rag ah weeye, nin rag ah weeye, and so forth" I agreed it is not civil but it is there!

Yeah thats true I guess.

A native dance to the sool, sanaag and togdheer areas

Oooo My!
That gives me memories..
The most hottest thing is seeing a fine nomad wearing a macaawis doing that dance
I so the miyiii!!

how old are these youngsters?

Omg what big hates Alluring iyo Westldn, especially alluring who has a little to much contempt in her words. They are just kids, all kids are the same wtf.

Sxb what culture are you talking about? if that happens in your region don't paint it on all Somalis, never heard or exprience that kind of stuff you talking about.

In Somali culture, women don't scream,and the couple don't even have sex in the first night, and its considered a crime/a sin to spy on married couple having sex in my part of Somalia.

I wish I grew up as a Nomadic kid. This sounds like something I would enjoy as a kid...

Simple childish pranks are nothing when you look at what takes place in other parts of the world. There is a country somewhere in Asia where the bride and groom are not allowed to use the toilet for 72 hours. The entire family keeps an eye them and ensures that they don't answer nature's call during those 72 hours.

Sxb it does happen in all of Somali nomads unless of course you have no experience growing up there or visiting and living there for a while. Just ask the nomads and they will tell you. Of course it is a sin to spy on married couple but how many sinful acts Somalis still do? Are we kidding ourselves? FGM is a sinful act and tribal killings that take place in Somalia almost on daily bases are major sin also since majority of these killing occur on innocent people who lost their lives 'cause they happen to be a relative of the criminal who took someone else's live. This is minor compare to those two sins.

The whole purpose of the nomads is to say "Nin rag ah weeye, nin rag weeye, etc, ect" - the Geeljire brag about it!

The point of this post is this is something that Somali nomads do to the bride and bridegroom even tough the couple are not aware of it. They do it for fun iyo nin rag ah weeye, wuxuu sameeyey ma maqashay Keep in mind all praises go to the bridegroom

Nin rag ah weeye as in shaqadii wuu qabtay?

That was what one youngers later on told us.

Something is telling me you WERE in the middle of it.

Usually kids don’t brag about when they do something bad. Those reer miyi kids in particular.

Abdalle, the nomads aka geeljire brag about it, for them it is sensational When I went there in June /July this year, I didn't stay in the towns and not even the tuulos but went into the countryside and saw the real geeljire. They live in their own little world and that hardly changes even if you add radios, cars/trucks, and city type stuff. They are still nomads and geeljire and pass on the culture and customs generation to generation.
