I discovered 1 terrible parasitic culture of the Somalis

Post by FieldMarshalMenace »

I bring this up bc this week happens to be a good friend's wedding. The friend is Somali. The other day our mutual friend the Habeshi was like " dude, so I need to bring money gift"..i looked at him in a disapproval gesture..then i remembered ..apparently it is the Habeshi's culture to bring cash ( Cadaans do it too)..then we had a long discussion where he told me that marrying coupled usually get more than to cover that wedding's cost..he said usually the average money given as gift that night is $250..while closer relatives might give $1000..

I was like "bro, Somalis bring nothing to the marrying couple accept criticism and tremendous debt, it's our leading cause of divorces bc of the burden to please the girl and her family is big..and the secondary burden is that the groom is forced to go overboard on an unaffordable glamorous wedding just to give the guess the perception that your successful when you are really maxing out on your card, even if family helps you out your still heavily debted..then after after the wedding reality sets in, then you discover that she is different then she betrayed, she's lazy, can't even cook and is very confrontational. You also discover that she is stubborn and won't listen and that you are both arguing all the time about financial issues. With so much debt and the female you married is hell in earth the next great and easy way out is divorce. Remember that you spend $32k on one night and 6 months later you're both divorced. Bro that's the storyline of a Somali wedding and it all relates to guess coming to be fed like world vision's "feed the Children""..

Aren't we parasites for not helping the young couples we go to their weddings?..can we start this beautiful culture ?

There's no need for a drop box..the way it's done is that there is this trusted family members who will stand at the entrance and each guest will hand an envelope ..that's as simple as it is ..,

But we already have seen what Somalis do to few people who dare to add a new tradition to our wedding lifestyle ..I'm speaking about those couple that do the bridal shower where the girl sets up that list with a store, like Macy's or something ..I've already seen them severely criticized by Islaamos who think its a form of baryatiml

^ makes sense, $26k is around £14k? If that includes organising hall, food, meher, bride and groom expenses etc. That's a nie small wedding sort of amount I would think, no?

Yummy..im talking about the wedding, the meher..keep in mind the meher you are giving away about $3k to the girl's family...Then on meher day you spoiled the old fat leeches (the elders of the tribe of the girl) about $1500 on the spot...Then the hall for the meher cost you about $1600..Food and decoration cost you $3100 (each plate of food and drink is about $11..times 250 people..=2600)...Im not even gonna calculate that fitted suit your bought from Macys..

ka so tag...

Habeenka arooska waxaad gubeysaa no less than $16k...

when I said $26k ..i didnt not include the stuff for the house....Good grief...Honestly ...one true estimate is ...$38k...28k british pounds..


And then we wonder why they divorced...
