There is a town called Namanga on the border of Kenya and Tanzania near the Serengeti. I was born in this town

This town is unique because it has many Somalis but what is surprising is the amount of r. Isaaqs in the town. They make up the majority of Somalis and the rest is Cabdille lol! This Masaai town should be called Dhagaxbuur 2 I went there after 14 years in August and It has grown and developed Mashallah.

Lakiin it made me very angry that they are investing and buiding houses on foreign land when Ogaden have the biggest most beautiful land in NFD. They should have invested in NFD. It is underdeveloped and these reer Isaaq are developing Masaai land

Invest in our lands and develop them my fellow cagdheers our ancestors didn't conquer it for no reason

Rageedi invest in your own lands , because if shits bout to pop off. You can't say: "hey let's take Eastleigh with us"

cosign.

But I think it is 100000 times easier to get rich in bantu towns and villages than our own and that's why they're running to them. There is also no toxic qabyalad in Masaai and Kikuyu land that would favor one clan over the other.

Plus they choose the most perfect highland weather area away from the sun and the weather 24/7 in places like Namanga is just...

The most insulting shit though is that Southern NFD is green and fertile with the Tana river. They can turn it into a major agricultural producer easily but these nacasyo are buying huge swaths of land in western Kenyan for plantations

I am happy that they are doing well for themselves though

Kkkkk

I always get confused with those other isaaqs. Kkkk

Not gonna lie. When I was younger I thought your Tribe was called Iidoor while our Isaaqs were Isaaqs. blame my Isxaaq ayeeyo for that.

It is very confusing and you live next to each other to make matters worse!!

frankly we dont see idoor as an insult it came from when ogadens used to come to barbera to trade their women for timir (dates) .

Lol sure. Whatever makes you feel better but iidor is just a nickname not cay. The name stuck after being repeated 1 million times and it's hard for some of us to not call you Iidoor. There aren't many Isaaqs where I live but if I meet one I will refrain from calling them that if it is offensive

Idoor isn't offensive, it means trader. all isaaq are happy to be called that. You even named a sub sub clan after us too

don't is-cajabi yourself. Reer Isaaq aren't named after you guys. It's a huge clan very laandheer which has 1 million people atleast. Clans that big must have existed for hundreds of years.

The name Isaaq isn't yours. other Somali clans use it too

our Isaaqs just happen to be a lot bigger and more famous.

Shiikh isxaaq sijuwis own a lot farm land in kenya they are wealthy. mansha allah

you Sh, Isaaqs stop hijacking my thread and making this about you

This thread is for the appreciation of the entreprenurial Reer Isaaq of the greater Maxamed Subeer clan of Ogaden Absame and their beautiful enclave on Maasai territory

beesha r. Isaaq

I hope they invest on our land and not shisheeye's but at the same time I am happy they made this town Somali it is beautiful with a perfect climate.

Waar isaaqdan la sheegayo soo waa ogaaden. yaab.

Yes, the cagdheers love us so much they even named a jilib after us.

Namanga is a nice get a way from the hustle of Nairobi. The Chinese are building a major trading post there with Tanzania. Land prices in that town have gone up as a result.

The R. Isaaq have been living there for generations and even use pay blood money with some of the Masaai tribes that live their.
