Seems you have been thinking about this for quite sometime.grandpakhalif wrote:I was thinking of creating my own lil' Ponzi scheme wherein I would lavish myself in well-fitted suits and knock door to door within disadvantaged Somali communities proposing single mothers and disfunctional families alike that I run a non for profit Quranic education program that requires all applicants to pay a waiver of $50 in advance and subsequently $200 a month. I would then hire a couple xafids and advise them that I am running a program that will benefit the deen and that they should volunteer simply out of ajar and gain reward from Allah. I would then pocket 90% of this money for "administration fees" and 10% will go to Quranic education facilities. I will then create a framework of Quranic schools using the same system and charge each parent, who think they are paying the Macalin when in reality they are paying the "administration fees".
I would then use this system and introduce myself to the local intelligence, requiring that they pay a fee for me to monitor all terrorist, or potential terrorist-related activitiy within Quranic/Islamic education centres. Thus I gain double income from "administration fees" and my diligent work in keeping an eye on Quranic schools (which in reality are all mine).
After this I shall set up a new fee that states that parents will need to send the Program money for new books, yet I pocket it. Soon my network shall expand from London, too Edmonton to Seattle.
Oh Glory!

very funny but very true too, I come across smilar things but under different names. Here in London, they call it Somali community and I was denied for even pass cards, forget about lunch. I once bought lunch and tried to charge them. But next day, the guy went to the shops before lunch time, and bought some horrible cheap sandwich and placed it on the desk (for us to pick it). he even separated the slices 
Great move! Let us just hope that the somali real estate brokers are not Ponzi men and women!Leila25 wrote:More and more somalis are now buying homes in UK, the craze over overseas properties is fading because buy to let in the UK is safer and they are getting good income out of it, however the property is in the name of the man only most times so the wife and children dont lose out on their benefits.
Hyper, our people are just so innocent saaxib. They think islam=arabs. There are many christian Arabs with names such as Abdullah, Hassan and many other arab names. These christians even say walaahi, Allah etc The somalis think they are muslim.hyperactive wrote:lama, ive been observing that for some times now , we say here; easy way to be rich, grow beard, thoobka gaabso/sarwaal ka whatever you confy with and open an account to help, poor, orphans, school etc. but what im wondering is : why somalis call any one who speaks view arabic words with beard to say: hebel mashallah sheikh/wadad bo noqday Allah ba hadeyey!!!
it's somali culture nowadays any one can get the title: wadad sheikh, overnight!! all you need is to shown in msques with beard, view arabic words and be loud too and through kufor, murtad, fasiq" more often.
