Be direct and speak your mind, or else get use to being Consuela the house maid.

Simply kick him out. WTH, why is he just quite watching you do the cleaning?

[Lillaahiya]

Tell him he's dutty and needs to clean up after himself.

[InaSamaale]

If he does not have a health condition which makes him not capable of doing his share of his cleaning, if he is not 20+ older, and if he is not a short-term flat mate [less than a month] then you need to sit down with him. There are rules and responsibilities that each one of you need to abide by and respect.

Great advice. Still though, hard to change a culture of an existing environment. Dude is used to being a free loader. I'd start looking for alternative flat-mates.

[wiyeer]

say this to him: "waar qashinkaaga naga hagaaji miyaadan nin weyn ahayn," this will normally work but if you want to really get it into his head, then add "...Hadiikale wallaahay weynu isgeli". Trust me, its a tried and tested formula which works everytime.

Faarax,

Maybe he didn't know he was supposed to do anything. All you do is make a list of the things that need to be done and tell him to pick the few that he thinks he can do. Markaas usheeg inta jeer ee laqabto isbuucii. Hadii uu qaban waayo, Ask him miyaad ilawday shaqaadaas wali lama dhamayne mise way kugu adagtahay aan midkale kuugu bedelee? You need to play what we call Social Motivation. He will do the job but you play the game right.

Pragmatic solution

Break up with him
