Let us predict....

[Lamagoodle]

The nickname of the soon to be appointed PM

Yuulka, qoslaaye, beerdoofaar, baruur/buur, farmaajo,Sakiinm hurdaaye, dhoof/hotel are all taken.

Toloow, will it be
Affey, indhoole, ilkoole, dalboole, huraale, Carabeey, Jinoole or could it even be areebo, garoobeey?

You can tell how murky the future looks for Somalia by just looking at the phenomona you mentioned. A country whose presidents and prime minsters are quickly given and addressed by a nickname xaguu gaari? Ilaahay amarkii bay qoraxda ku dhacdaa.

Elite, did you read this?

LOL. Yah I did, awhile ago. I still crack up whenever I am reminded of it. Nicknames are okay in my book but calling the president "mudana culusoow" in front of the cameras is a bit too much. The funny thing is, we are not even aware that this is a problem.

I think Amin Caamir has a hand in the nicknames of somali politicians. There is this guy who he portrays as a Jew (classical antisemitic cartoon). People claim that he is the godfather of an elusive fraternity called Damjadiid. People look at Amin's sketches and before you know it, the PM/President has a nickname.

A few years ago, Shariif Hassan was on an overseas trip. He met some somalis at an event. Almost all those who asked questions started by saying " Mudane shariif sakiin".

I am not a fan of amin. He's a typical Somali. I don't think he thinks too much into his little cartoons before he publishes them.

I like his work. I actually only look at his cartoons to get me info on Somalia. I like satire. There is always the claim that he makes money by extortion.

His cartoons play a key role in picking nicknames.

I need to consult with my guru fadhi ku dirir sahal before I make a prediction.

Id' say it's a bit too early to predict. Some of the labels you've listed could pass for jovial nicknames but Beerdoofaar is just wrong
