how one can be tribal in real life? do you go around and say: my tribe is best , my tribe has most camels ?

emperior aka xaji xunjuf, why did you cut my quote?

this is the whole quote:

Truly, outside this cyber forum. I'm very tribalist but also nationalist I'm being honest, I respect my Marehan friends more than my other friends. I feel relaxed when I'm around my Marehan friends or relatives.

But I'm also nationalist, I get happy during 1st July, I get happy when I see a Somali in the Bus, Train, Library etc. I rep my country and I love my capital city.

that is not tribalism. i feel comfortable with people i know or close to me. so that's your choice. as long you dont harm others based tribe or regionalor nationality . it's all preferences.

really?

But imagine, I have close Hawiye friend for over 8 years and have a Marehan friend for like 3 years. But I feel relaxed with the Marehan friend I know 3 years. Ain't that abit tribalist?

Ximan, you respect and trust your Marexaan friends more than your other friends? How does that work? some of my bestfriends are Haber Gidir, and I would trust them with my life.

lol i dont know what you think of or what is in your heart but i would think you prefer to be around people who you share common things with you, hence the qabiil. i swear i never heard young people talk about somali leave alone qabiil. they distance themselves from other somalis.

i dont even know people i know their qabiil. for me people are two groups: waryaat and eyaal aseer. and i feel i have more in common with eyaal aseer. waryaat are fresh somalis who are loud and talk too much.

I don't know, I just feel more relaxed around them. I trust my non-Marehan friends but I don't respect them so much. For instance if something good happens to my Marehan friends I get super happy but when something good happens to my non-Marehan friends I don't feel anything, no happy buz. I just say congrats wateva.

Shit I must be tribalist. But wallahi I'm also nationalist

Thats even bad for a tribalist, its beyond tribalist, you must be a hard core tribalist to be like that. Some people are you friends and they go beyond qabiil, they will help you out when you are in trouble, and you will help them out when they are in trouble.

I dont even have that many homboys from my clan, 2 or 3 at most, and I chill with them everynow and then.

My facebook friends on the other hand is a different story

lol@i dont feel anything. you're haasid, dadka wahba uma qoortid.

i m not young but somalida meshan kuma badna wahba na iskuma darsato. so is hard to even get to know somali person.

last year my 15 years old asked my dad: papa what tribe you are?
dad: why you ask?
my brother: cause i met somali kids and they were asking what tribe you are, and i said i dont know. are you tribe hargeysa or tribe mugadishu!!!

we had good laugh at him and my dad told him we dont have tribe. now he is almost 17 and he doesnt know .lol

[The_Emperior5]

Loool you cannot be a nationalist if youre a tribilist. Thats what you said maybe your a clan nationalist wuxu isma qabtaan

Nabigu wuxu yidhi qabyalaadu wa wax xun iska dayaa

No, don't get me wrong. I do appreciate my non-marehan friends. I treat them good. But I feel more wat you call it...relaxed?

With my Marehan friends we have more things to discuss. But the non-Marehan we talk about usual stuff (boring stuff).

60% of my friend are Marehan (variety marehan sub-clans)
30% Hawiye
5% other Daaroods
2% Isaaq
2% minority clans
1% Raxanweyn

[Hyperactive]

emp, i agree with you. never teach them and tell others to not teach your kids their qabiil. not knowing is the best. even better if they deny somalinimo

I knew I was Marehan the moment I started to talk but I never knew what Daarood until I was 16-17.

I come from big family, they all talk about qabil, when i was young my uncles used to come to my house, listen to BBC and they have debates. I remember one time there was argue between my uncle who is reer gedo and my uncle's friend who was reer mudug I was brought up in qabil life
