Somalia is f-king doomed

[LobsterUnit]

We need to resurrect pre Israelite Somalian tutankamun sultanate
and rebuild the incense,frankincense economy. Somaliland should annexe Ethiopia.there is frankly no other solution.

[GeoSeven]

Somalia is far from doomed, although I agree with some of the point you mentioned.

Johnson, why do you have Rhee as your dp? The man was an advocate for religiosity, an opponent to secularism and the most corrupt and incompetent South Korean leader in history...doesn't that conflict with the ideals you purport

[Bari14]

YOURE Doomed!!! Lmao jk, just trying to lighten the mood. I just don't agree with Abdi's generalization of the entire Somali population.

I don't think I'm that twisted and I can definitely attest to some Hawiye friends who are anything but mean. To be quite honest with you, there are shitty people everywhere. Somalis just happen to be horrible at disguising their true nature, good or bad

[Colonel]

Plantation slave Johnson has spoken the truth

[STARKAST]

I agree with you John to an extent at the hopelessness of the Somali people.

What are the solutions to the problems you've skilfully explained ?

[LiquidHYDROGEN]

Lol did this guy just wake up from a coma? He needs to work on his delivery but what Abdijohnson says is perfectly true. Somalia is shithole in a continent of shitholes. Now you can put on your rose tinted glasses and celebrate everytime you build an inch of road like you've just launched a rocket into space. Or we can be cool-headed realists with some backbone and ambition.

Also the thing about the turks, I have been saying this since they came. It's a dog-eat-dog world and the turks are hungry. Maybe they think somalia's natural resources will fuel their economy and get them into the EU.

You should read about China's great leap. To lift that many people out of poverty and create a world superpower in the process was literally taking on the impossible equipped with a bread knife and a bunch of farmers. Somalia in comparison is something that can be fixed in less than a decade if we overcome our achilles; TRIBALISM

You are

Abdi ''no faith'' Johnson

[LiquidHYDROGEN]

Skywalker, you are assuming somalis have an ounce of pride and patriotism between them. Everyone is trying screw the other person over. The chinese have centuries old traditions which value duty to one's country and superiors, as well as a love for education and material wealth. Meanwhile, we have none of that and a whole generation of retarded/mentally deficient people due to malnutrition and trauma from war. Apples and oranges my friend.

I'm not saying Somalia's situation is irreversible. I'm just saying it is going to need a lot of work, particularly in the area of mentality.

[sahal80]

Its sad how some are accusing abdi johnson of being tribalist when he talks on a nationwide and tells the facts!

Reminds me of some one with this logic who was telling me that NO his village is developed and that i should develop my village when I was comparing the whole shyt somalia to nairobi and addis!!

A place with no logic indeed!!

People all over somalia will tell you that no where is really good for a diaspora people to live outside of the hotels bc of the unhealthy conditions of every market like the meat market.

[SecretAgent]

Somaliland is just as f-king pathetic and garbage. I can count the amount of paved roads in that sad excuse you call a country. Everyone there is too focused on recognition. No one is f-king talking about the damn food poisoning they got the week before from the fancy restaurant some conceited animal from the diaspora opened up that nearly killed them and the 100 other people that day across the city. Recognition, recognition. That's all that matters. Everyone is a damn brainwashed zombie in Hargeisa

I am,

Abdi "Shove that recognition seeking up your ass" Johnson

This Daarood prick is something else ileen

Nope hes a somalilander

[Tanker]

Hmmm, who are you to write off an entire culture? Sounds almost like your ashamed to be Somali. To crap on a government is one thing, writing off an entire race (especially your own) is devoid of any sense.

Doqoni sokeeye ma aha

There are plenty of sick, sick Somalis who simply didn't care or were happy when hundreds of thousands of people were starving to death in the recent famine. And when I mean plenty, I am talking a very good percentage. Or when hundreds of thousands were forced out of their homes when Xabashi troops invaded. Or when hundreds of thousands were running from their lives from USC barbarians. Many Somalis take these incidents as moments of pride and joy

Somalis are a useless, brainless people and yes I am ashamed to be associated with such an evil and sick people. Very ashamed.

Abdi "Its unfortunate I am Somali" Johnson

And then there's this type of person. Lol

That is all that matters!!
why build your country when it will be under a different country, when all decision making will be done in a different capital, when
all the money will be stolen by a distant government. at least our scale of corruption is much smaller, and the crumbs that fall down to the people will be at least something because they will see nothing from outside.

Sxb, you whole logic is based on negative western perception of Somalis. I admit this current generation and the last have been a let down but you only have to go back 2 generation to find how special somali's regarded themselves with pride and patriotism. These are the decedents of the same people who would never bow to the whiteman or any man when other africans were selling there own for some necklace.

I believe I'm descendent of these people and all I need to do is speak to my own father about when he came to Europe to confirm that these tales are the truth and Somali were something special and still have it them to be special again.

I think the problem lies with people with your mindset, in short its defeatist. You have lost the battle before the fight has started. So to use a great arnold schwarzenegger; what the mind believes, the body shall follow. You are the kings of the horn, just going through tough times. You know what the say about tough times? Tough never last, tough people do...

[LiquidHYDROGEN]

I'm not a defeatist. I guess you could say that I'm growing more and more to despise this current generation of Somalis but I still love my country. One of the things that annoys me is the low-expectation, easily impressed mentality that we have. I expect somalis to be a dominant power, carving out pieces of other african countries but here we are a bunch of qaxootis who get happy everytime a metre of road is built and engaging Iinternet fadhikudirir.
