His knowledge of history is rudimental he scored own goals but falsifying history and worst of all he committed blasphemy when he said that SYL heroes were nothing but a bunch of criminals. On the other hand, there is a guy who couldn’t deliver real punches to Dr. Moryaan when he was presented by opportunities. Instead of undressing Dr. Bililiqo he became entangled in defending the survival of his people. Walaahi, I was sent that video and I have never felt this pessimistic about the future of Banaadir. If Dr. Moryaan’s view is the conventional wisdom that will govern the future of Banaadir, expect a renewal of the quadric situation of our beloved city.
In conclusion, Benaadir deserves a better person to represent it than a bigot who has ashamed his people.

He was wrong in every aspect. What he said is Marfish discourse and has no support in somali history. In addition, Banaadir is above all other regions; it does not deserve qabiil(marfish) talk. It needs discussions on how to rejuvinate and uphold it is position. He is not a doctor and does not represent the views of the people of Banaadir.
Lending support to this kind of lunatic is quite unbecoming for true citizens of Banaadir (the cosmopolitan city).
The Country of the Hawiyah Somal.—It will^be most convenient for future reference if we arrange Mr. Wakefield's information according to the geographical districts with which it deals. The country of the Hawiyah,.. which extends from Mokhdesho along the coast as far as Hopia , has hitherto been most inadequately delineated on our maps. Mr. Wakefield is the first to supply materials for indicating some of its more prominent features. It is to all appearance a country of white sands, producing scanty pasture, and affording only in a few localities a soil sufficiently rich for agricultural purposes, or for the growth of timber. Game is absent; lions or leopards are never seen ; and even the hyena is very scarce. The principal tribes are the Abgal (including the royal clan of Al Yakub, the Wa £zk, the Al Erli or " pot-bellies," the Arti (Herti), the Yusuf and the Galmaha, in the southwest ; the Moro Sathe in the centre, and the Ahr Githirr (Habr Gader) in the northeast. Hopia lies within the country of these latter. It is merely a small port, near which good water and timber are found. Amber is sometimes thrown up there on the coast. Sarur, a locality in the interior, appears to be one of the more favoured spots, and the Abgal, who live there in small villages, cultivate millet, kunde, beans, water-melons, and cotton, and keep camels, cattle, sheep and goats, but neither horses nor asses. The home-grown cotton is spun by them, and woven into coarse tobas for the men, the women contenting themselves with goatskins. There are native smiths, but they are capable only of doing repairs. Tobacco, agricultural implements, and the calico in which the women wrap the head, are imported from Mokhdesho. These articles are very expensive, for a camel is given for nine or ten yards of tobacco, and a goat for a yard of blue cotton stuff. Slavery is said to be unknown among this tribe.
The Moro Sathe, in the centre of the country, are the Murrusade of Guillain and the Emor Zaidi of old authors. They cultivate the same products as their neighbours. They likewise keep no horses. The Abgal, finally, are the tribe with whom Europeans come into contact at Mokhdesho.
