Somali TV infomercials... what sells late @ nite

[waryaa]

Three out of seven Somali channels are now showing almost identical infomercials with sheiks preaching and asking ppl to send money to their organizations.

these people have no shame!

you can't raise funds 24/7, lacagta soo gasha xagee lageeyaa mise jeeb daloola bay leeyihiin

These gangsters are DUA sellers. They continue to robe vulnerable Hailmoos and ask to swab DUA with money or gold donation.

Sheikh X: Tumaa duca rabta oo dahab iyo lacag ugu deeqaysa masaajid hebel

1-Haliimo1: Sheekhow I am going to donate 2 kilo of gold for yr mosque, Please give dua because my hasband come always late:
Sheikh X: Ilaahay waxaan kaaga baryeynaa inuu ninkaagu early soo hoydo

2-Halimo2: Sheekhow my 15 years old son is sick junkie, Please make dua, so I will donate to your mosque £5000
Sheikh X: Ducaanu usoo diray, insha allah wuu kuu hagaagayaaye, lacagta dahab soo raaci.

My local sheikh does once a week on HCTV. Can you imagine the organisers pay him £400 for just one hour??

Even Cagmadhige the HG television presenter, laba habeen ayuu khamiis usoo gashadaa to milk Haliimoos

Rightwing,

I am going on a 1 year sabbatical to attend religious training overseas. I shall return as a scholar and Xafidullah.

Somalis dont need religious men at all. Somalis need Doctors, civil engineers and entrepreneurs. You are highly educated man, I am sure if you go back to Cadaado, you can change things or die while changing.

[AbdiWahab252]

Rightwing,

I will die if I go to Cadaado nor will I waste my time wandering among country folks who are not ready to accept my ideas.

Abdi, we need to get strength and power to transform the most stubborn people on earth into open minded society.

lol - as soon as I posted this topic, my comp run out of juice and the charger refused to cooperate throwing me off the net.. Maybe they have special powers

The other annoying thing is similar infomercials from Somali doctors and health clinics telling unsuspecting somalis that they are better than other doctors.

right, do mainstream doctors advertise their services on TV?

[abdikarim86]

I see "Fadlan darta Ilaahay u soo caawi"
and "help for internally displaced people".
I don't see anything wrong with this ....although
I do dislike some of their tactics sometimes.

There was an interesting discussion on TV sheekhs
not long back on HCTV.

It's also interesting to note this pisses the people who posted off.
Is it such a bad thing thing in qof loo duceeyo in order they may be more
willing to help their own, in building mosques, schools and other things?

For a lot of the Misaajids, schools and clinics in the somali region have been
built like this.

Will the people who replied be more comfortable with "Fadlan darta qaranka u soo caawi"
Inaalilah ....sick people who will deride people better than them and yet do nothing.

And lol at a more open minded society ....infrastructure, schools and hospitals baa loo baahan
yahay ....not some enlightened position on "human rights" and other shit.

This aint' about sheekhs though is it ....the crux of the matter...the thing that
pisses you off most is something else.
Secularism went along with Siyaad Barre ....Get used to it.

Atleast adiga ajar bey ku tahay waayo niyada waxaad galiysay inaad qof caawisid.Mesha ay lacagta gayneyan Allahow aclam, thats should't be any of ur concern.

[Hyperactive]

ive mixed feeling about all this all donation. the majority of the money go ads and employees and their travels and hotel expenses. very little will go to poor people.

[waryaa]

hyper, every Somali community has its problems and projects that need money. These Sheiks are not telling people to do charity work in their communities, they are saying this particular project will take you to Janna.

Many IDP (Internally Displaced People ) are scam. waxan kuu shegaya arinkan. dad waxa jira xamar ka buuxa oo beerahodi kasoo cararay sababtoo ah waxa u lacag badan inay malinba hay'ad cusub iska diwan galiyan. Turkiga damcay inu ku celiyo berahodi qofwalba waxay u balamiyeen lacag uu bertisi ku aado, midu tu tabcado, etc. Then dadkan, darawalinta baburta repatriation-ka iyo somalid ka socota hay'adaha turkiga ayaa heshiyey. Qofku wuxuu qaadanaa lacag badan gaari a la saara then instead of Bay/Bakol, etc u gariga u raci lahaa just outside of Mogadishu ayu ku degayaa, darawalki wuxuu saxiixaa qofki inuu Baydhabo gaaray. Lacagti waxa qaybsanaya darawalki, qofka IDPga iyo shaqalaha hay'ada. Same person wu so noqonaa same agency ayuu magac kale ku imaanaa. @ the same time hay ado kale oo badanu qax ka qaataa. Intas waxa ku dheer raashinka wadanka lagu gado waxaa ka buuxa kuwo ay kutaalo "DO NOT SALE". qofki qadan lahaa lama siinayo ama marka lasiiyo uu suuqa geenaa.

Masajida: Magalada Minneapolis waxa ku yal tiny mosques tiradii ka batay oo somali leeyhiin. Waa firqoyin badan. Within firqadina ninkii shaqda imamida ama macalinamada laga ceriyo will start a new mosque. Hada minneapolis tagto waxa arkaysaa wadado leh masajidkaa kuma tukado oo nimankas baa mamula and so. Waxa uga fiican lehed inay hal ama laba madsjid aad u fiican o wawen ay samestan. Magalada Toronto masajidk ugu weyn ee somalidu samaysay years ayaa waxa socday maxkamado cidi mamuli leheed. Kuwii laga raayey fund raising bay smaeyen oo mid kii ka weyn bay dhiseen.
