But I still think he's genuine in his quest for wadani unification and proper governance - he does teach citizenship after all.
Heres what some of students views on are (found on here http://www.ratemyprofessors.com/ShowRat ... tid=264557) :
One of the best professors I have ever had. Extremely difficult to please, has high expectations, stubborn but very helpful if students show interest and passion. If you do honest work and put your all into the class, you'll do well. Do not expect anything easy about his classes. I am grateful to have taken his course.
Brilliant professor. Dramatic and full of energy, his lectures (or tangents) will sometimes leave you simply amazed. He's definitely old school and a tad arrogant; be prepared for brutal honesty and directness. With dense material and high expectations, you will probably leave the class a different student.
I'm not sure why so many people like this guy so much. I found him to be extremely pompus and impatient. The whole ripping everyone to shreads on the first paper was a bit much. There are better ways to teach people than being such a hard-a**.
The Gadabuursi and dhulbahante both clans under threat today were once and still are to an extent known as fierce nationalists with rational and uncluttered views on Somalis as ultimately a unified nation state - Note unity equates to Islam.
His students views on him over the years help confirm that he's genuine and its just his way in addressing the woes and frustrations on Somalia etc.
What do you guys think of him ? And his role in Somalia politics in the future ? Too bad we have this prez - and corruption will only confirm we have more like him....
