- we never take shiiid from anyone.

- in foreign lands, we help each other out irrespective of qabiil.

- we got our own safety nets called qabiil.

AW,

isn't it weird how we hate each other back home but we sip tea with each other out here. Its funny how if you move to a city that has 0% population of somalis, than from then on every somali moves right next to you.

Confusing people.

The other day I was standing outside this building , looked for abench and was about to lit my cigarette when this lady pissed off like no other caught my attention .
Wey isoo ag fadhiisatay. "Hey how are you " baan ku idhoo sheeko dheer bey i gashay, telling me about Liberia the problems they had back there and how none of the " humanitarian agencies " would help her out blahblahblah.
So I asked her" Do you know any other liberians in town? Why don't they help you ?"
She goes" People hate each other and won't even talk to each other , forget about helping one another or giving you any tips on where to go for such and such"
I was like " Woow, I am from Africa too you know ?"
She looked at me in disbelief at first an then she said" Somalia?"
I said "Yeah , let me tell you this ........blahblahblahblah....." <-- gave her all the 411 on the qaxooti agencies in the State " Laughing
Thank you , thank you baa ka soo hadhay islaanti.
Waxaan is yidhi , aar xumaa dadkani, soomalidu wey is dishaa ee sidaa isu ma necba.

Ina Baxar,

I explained the concept of the Hawala system to this Nigerian kid I went to college with.

He was shocked at the level of trust required & exclaimed, "Nigerians could never do this."

Horta where does that come from?
I currently believe { unless shown otherwise} that system was first implemented by the Knight Templars for the pilgrims on their road to Jerusalem ? Does anybody else has anything on that?
PS: it says on wikipedia that it is mentioned in the Islamic jurisprudence as early as the 8th century , but where?

I THINK MUSLIMS INVENTED IT.

." [27] They invented letters of credit and promissory notes. The hawala, or payment of debt through the transfer of a claim over large distances, was common in the eighth century"
