Gedo University Project

[QansaGabeyle]

No Offence but why would a Clan raise money for a university.

Why wouldn't a clan raise money for a university? Is there a rule, religious or otherwise, that is opposed to a clan raising money for a university? Ain't nothing wrong with using tribe the institution of qabiil to do something good.

All the Universities we have were opened by individuals and with the help of Aid from western organizations.

Are we expected to follow your foot steps? Why should we ask for handouts from western Organizations? We feel that we can accomplish this goal all on our own and we plan to do exactly that.

Also are you telling us that there is no university from Kismayo to Gedo.

Actually there is one university in Kismaayo that was open few years back but the lack of lasting peace in that city forced it to close.

I dont belive this. Iam pretty sure every region in Somalia atleast has one university.

Well you are wrong. Every region in Somalia does not have a university. Matter of fact, the great majority of the regions in Somalia did not have enough peace to build a university. You have a lot to learn my friend although I am sure you would rather stay ignorant of most subjects concerning the south and write random ignorant comments every now and then.

Because if a Clan rasied money for the university and establishes it well it becomes a clan university and not a diverse one. I didnt tell you to follow anyones footsteps as for western organization they can come in very handy sometimes. Also i would have learned something about southerners if you pyshcoz when ever we opened our mouth didnt call us qaldaans, gaalo, french whores and those names. Now wonder why we are so ignorant about you lot.

No it would not be a clan university at all. Many universities in Mogadishu and other parts of Somalia where my clan does not live were established that way and I have cousins from Gedo who attend them. Qabiil can be used for both good and bad and although Somalis use it to commit evil needs more than good ones, it is a tool that can prove itself useful it used the correct way. By the way, just for you information, this Gedo project does not parade itself as a qabiil project and the organizers of the events come from many differing clans. The organization that is responsible for these events, Somali Development Fund(SDF), raises many for many regions in the country and its members come from many Somali clans.

I didnt tell you to follow anyones footsteps as for western organization they can come in very handy sometimes.

I know western organizations can come very handy but they do not operate in many parts of Somalia for reasons I will not go into. If they are willing to help out and build universities in Awdal and neighboring regions, that is good and dandy but we do not have organizations like that operating out of Gedo and most parts of the south. Besides I am of the believe it is better for the peoples minds to see something they have organized and built themselves than something someone else built for them. It proves to them that they can be independent and accomplish things for themselves instead of waiting for others to do it for them.

Also i would have learned something about southerners if you pyshcoz when ever we opened our mouth didnt call us qaldaans, gaalo, french whores and those names. Now wonder why we are so ignorant about you lot.

I am sorry to hear that. Reer waqooyi people can take the insults and dish out as much if not more, I am sure of that. But wallahi, although your case (being born in a foreign country and all), is different but most people chose to stay ignorant about other regions.

LOL@french whores. I can't help but laugh at that one.

[King-of-Awdal]

What ever the case maybe All i know is education is the way out of the misery somalia is in so good luck. Also i dont choose to be ignorant about somali issues or southerners but when in reality most somali people i meet in real life cant move beyond me not speaking good somali and being a djiboutian i gave up. Its like once they hear you are from djibouti ur a frenchie whore. Anyways i would love to one day travel around somalia but than reality sinks in which is, it is never going to happen in my life time and iam 18.

I have a lot Djiboutian friends wallahi. They are Ciise though and they are some of the coolest Somalis I have met so far. Anyway I got many relatives that are half Ethiopian who do not speak Somali very well so I am used to that although it is difficult holding back a laugh when they attempt to speak Somali. Somalis are very upfront and extremely politically incorrect so you should grow a little thicker skin and dish out the caay too.

They do not really have bad intentions, they just like to fock with people. When I was younger, I used to have these old reer mudug ladies come to my house and diss the shit out of me for no reason and I remember that used to bother me a lot but now I am used to it. I diss them back without crossing the line.

Anyways i would love to one day travel around somalia but than reality sinks in which is, it is never going to happen in my life time and iam 18.

That is unfortunate saaxib! Somalia is a beautiful country and there is so much to see and experience there. I, myself, planning to visit Gebiley( Somaliland) very soon.

[King-of-Awdal]

Why are you gonna laugh at our somali when we are trying to understand yours. You think i understand half of the shit you guys say. Forget southerners i have a problem understanding people from Burco. Anywayz what you going Gebilay for. A certain someone is there eh. My family owns land in the western Outskirts of Gebilay. 8) By the way your cousins who are half ethipian do you mean as half habeshi or somali ethiopians?

Because it is funny when someone who does not know the language attempts to speak it. It is like when an Indian speaks English. It is not to be mean or anything like that.

The accent in Mudug is actually more clear and more understandable than that spoken in Burco for a new learner of the language, it may be easier to understand a reer mudug person.

I am going to Gebiley because my uncle's kids want to visit there to visit their grandmother and abtiyaal and I am taking them there. I am going to the south first........I forgot your mom was Isaaq!

My cousins are half habeshi unfortunately but their habeshi parents are big time shiekhs.....better muslims than most Somalis.

[King-of-Awdal]

I see well actually the land in Gebilay is not owned by my mothers side but my fathers, Some may not know but Gebilay is a shared city. If you going there you better be open minded cause all your gonna hear is that accent that you think of Indians. Ill be honest with you though the place is boring. Even Hargeisa is boring to me. All they do is eat and chew and talk. I assume your driving from Hargeisa if your going to Gebilay might as well check our Borame and Arabsiyo. About your cousin who are half habashi are they Amhara or something else?

My dream is to visit Hamar but that is impossible.

Yeah the plan is to go through Hargaisa. I will probably stop by in those towns. If I don't, it will be a wasted trip. LOL@Open minded. Dude you really think I am that hateful? Just because you laugh at something does not mean you hate it. Besides, when I said I have hard time holding back laughs, I was not talking about reer waqooyi accent but the way people who are learning the language speak it. I have two different sets of cousins that have connection to Ethiopia/Eritrea; one is that oromo group that always ass licks the Tigres and Amharas and the other are tigre from Eritrea.

My dream is to visit Hamar but that is impossible.

The northern part of Mogdishu is still very peaceful because the Abgaal keep it that way but I still would not suggest you to visit it. You probably get kidnapped and held for ransom when they notice your accent and looks.

Haruuf lee kaasoo hare ina adeer maxaa dhace. I don't know about SDF but IQRA helped open many schools in Bardhere, Burdhuubo and Garbaharey and they help these schools operate by providing the funds. They work with HIRDA, which is probably the most active organization, to keep these schools open and functioning.

Shankakaroon, ina adeer magacaada waad istaahishaa wallahi. Boqol Karoon!

[Shankaroon_614]

So if they are taking care of educating the young ones..who should take care of re-building the cities/towns...we should have an organization just for building or funding to renovate our degaans!!


N thnx

[Voltage]

Wallahi inaysan boqol la roonayn, Shanka I am afraid to say is just completely negative. Come to think of it I have never seen her post anything positive here

Besides I am of the believe it is better for the peoples minds to see something they have organized and built themselves than something someone else built for them. It proves to them that they can be independent and accomplish things for themselves instead of waiting for others to do it for them.

Excellent mentality

[Shankaroon_614]

lol War you can't say that..inaa boqol ka roonahay waat ogtahayee ee maxaawaaye is yeelyeelka?

Trueth is I have NOTHING positive to say about Mareexaan...but don't jump to conclusion that I hate my people or that I am not a "proud Sade" as someone else already said that to me...Iska dhaafee Mareexaan, I have NOTHING positive to say about Wagardhac...but still I love my poeple...look at it this way; a Father will always love his children unconditionally but he yells @ them, tells them they are doing a poor job, sometimes even beat the shit outta them, but its all for his children to get better right?...It doesn't mean that he hates them or don't want anything to do with them!..he is training them....Comprehendo?

I wish I could some day see Middle/High school N Colleges in our deegaans (every one of them)...healthy people, educated people. I wish I could one day see people driving nice cars, living in nice house, working in nice jobs (or atleast have jobs). I wish one day I could go back and claim my dhul without worrying about anybody else! InshaAllah that shall come...I looking forward to it..

Walahi xalay I was @ this aroos only women...it was Celi and Celi wedding. You know who women recite poems b4 they do the Buraanbur dance...well Buraanbur waxaa loogu tala galay in gabadha iyo wiilka lagu amaano, cida ey ka dhasheen lagu amaano, oo wiilkana lala dardaarmo...but onfurnetly it all became Qabiil Buraanbur nowadays...Every sentence waxaa kujirey Mareexaan this Mareexaan that...Celi this Celi that....Reer Diini this Reer Diini that...Wagardhac this Wagardhac that...Soonfure this Soonfure that, etc...and all the ladies would go crazy just for that...Walahi I was ashamed, ashamed I tell ya...the worste part was markii la amaanaaye Mohamed Siyaad Barre AUN...he was a Somali leader NOT a Mareexaan leader...he is Dead and Gone...we should only remember him not praise a dead man!!...I came to conclusion that is this is the Mareexaan mind, then how and when will these people move forward? I am very very dissapointed

[Advo]

Now that I think about it, voltage has a point...........I havent seen shankaroon with a positive comment about Beesha Sade, lol, but I have seen her praising hawiya iyo issaq, she even said, her blood boils when people bad mouth hawiya, she like xawaadle guys and dislikes Mr guys. Shanka in ur own words, please defend urself here

if u could choose to be born to any qabiil of ur choise yaa dooran laheed? and be honest.
