I noticed this trend on TikTok and for life of me I cannot understand. Are they getting back at their X-husbands or are they simply cloud chasing?

I know ya'll are fed up with "marriage posts" so am I and this why I'm posting this in the first place. I'm fairly new to this sub it's been less than a week for me here I guess and I see at least one post about someone not being Able to get married on a DAILY basis and they're mostly from the west too, caught my attention because in where I live somalis get married ridiculously, what would you say is your reason if you were one of those people struggling and posting here?

Which food combination you hate to eat or you saw people eating and it's disgusting.

I'm planning a trip to Mogadishu and Kismayo next week and was curious about the local attractions beyond the Main beaches. Do you have any recommendations for fun activities or places to check out in both cities? Also, I stumbled upon the Halane Compound near the airport on Google Maps. Can you tell me more about it and if it's possible to visit?

Thanks

Hey everyone, I'm a 27-year-old Somali Abaayo, who grew up in Malaysia. I have been here since high school and recently graduated from university here. Our people are everywhere, and at this age, most of my friends have already started families or talking about marriage and dating every day around. I feel the pressure, but I have zero desire to settle down.

I'm terrified of marriage. Back in Somalia, I saw countless women in my family endure heartbreak through divorces and hardships. It's left a deep fear within me. I'm haunted by the idea that if I marry, I'll face the same fate. my parents split up when I was young, and they both moved on without me. I never really saw them together or talking. I basically grew up on my own, especially during my teenage years and twenties. Then there's my college days I fell hard for this guy I met online. But he lived abroad, and our relationship was a mess o V and downs.

It hurt like hell, and after enduring nuurly four years of emotional abuse from him, I made the tough decision to call it quits at 24. Now, I feel safe and genuinely happy being single. He was the last guy aan is shukaansano, and I'm grateful to have moved on from that toxic relationship.

Now, l've realized something feels off whenever I interact with Somalis back home and those in Western countries say wallahi type. I'm just not Western enough for them, I'm planning to move to Belgium for my master's degree next semester. And when I do, I have zero desire to date Somali men there. It's weird, but for the first time, I'm considering the idea of finding a partner from a different cultural background. Perhaps moving to Cadaan or any other ethnicity might offer a different perspective, emotional safety where I hope to find a partner who won't hurt me or control me. I've seen too many Somali men marry my friends and become controlling, dictating what they should wear or how they should behave. I don't know how to put it in a positive way, but l've adopted a more liberal mindset, and I fear being controlled by a man. So, that's me.

Hi, I'm thinking of leaving the states and going Somalia for 6months and living a nomadic lifestyle lots of walking, camel milk and meat, getting a lot of sun and vitamin d, clean air unlike where I live in the states. Can I expect to notice any noticeable benefits from a health perspective realistically eating a organic raw diet of camel and other healthy fresh food and doing walking and going gym alongside the sun. I would love to be like those nomads who are insanely healthy and crazy strong. If anyone has experiences on this I would love to hear it and how being on Somalia affected you guys health and if you noticed an improvement.

Also on a mental side of things l've became really unmotivated as much it is frowned upon and been living in I will start tomorrow mindset for a long time now and I have not been how l used to be which was high achieving and super motivated and extremely hard worker. I want to get to back to how I was and my auntie is saying going Somalia will help this a lot on a mental side like more drive, becoming hard working, fearless and confident how a lot of the Somalis back home are. Keen to hear you guys experiences

Phosphate My Somali brothers and sisters what are we truly doing while our dimwit elders fight qablism and our parents refuge to Cadan land why don’t we make somalia great again just look at how great it was with no qabil this is just a small bit of somalia untapped potential recently the us offered us aid for our oil our dimwit of a government is trying to get aid from USA what are we doing no what are u doing come on together let’s make atleast help our uneducated brothers in Somali I have been there for 6 years almost half my life I may be a ciyaal but I’ve seen Somalia and what’s it’s potential to become a great country like it was under Mohammed said barre Ahmed gurey Adal sultanate Ajuran empire just look how great we were taking our worth which wasn’t even a pinch of our potential that was bananas trading that was making us rich check camel milk price per litre vs cow milk per litre we can get rich or just the 6 million ish camels milks we have to make an estimate let’s say 6 million camels a camel can normally produce around 3-10 litre a day now let’s just say the average is 5 litres per day we multiply 5x6,000,000=30,000,000 litres per day a pasturised milk would normally sell for 10USD per litre Total daily revenue = 6,000,000 camels × 5 liters/camel × $10 USD/litres Total daily revenue = 30,000,000 liters/day × $10 USD/liter Total daily revenue = $300,000,000 USD per day You might say oh 6 million is too much let’s say 2 million camels Total daily revenue = 2,000,000 camels × 5 liters/camel × $10 USD/liter Total daily revenue = 10,000,000 liters/day × $10 USD/liter Total daily revenue = $100,000,000 USD per day. This is just camel milk I can also do it with uranium oil too which I will do let’s start with uranium Somalia is estimated around 10,000 tonnes and around 7,000 commercially recoverable since such 1 tonne = 2,204.62 pounds So, 7,000 tonnes of uranium is equal to: 7,000 tonnes × 2,204.62 pounds/tonne = 15,432,340 pounds and if we do the multiplications 15,432,340 pounds × $70/pound = $1,080,263,800 it would have a 1 billion worth of uranium a normal nuclear bomb would need around 5-10kg worth of uranium an estimate is 467,349 worth of nukes now I understand that’s humanly impossible to make 467,349💀💀but that doesn’t mean we can make a nuclear plant and many things to invest into other things( made a typo not fixing it) but we can overprice it and sell to other countries while also taking lots for ourselves and making peace treaties around the world now let’s do oils from this source https://www.linkedin.com/posts/ahmed-abdirehman-tahir-pmp®-m-tech-mini-mba-322195136_somalia-ranked-in-6th-position-according-activity-7078832090259038208-J5MN?trk=public_profile_like_view#:~:text=Tech%2CMini%2DMBA)%20on,%2339%3Bs%20oil%20reserves.

As a Somali man without bias, I see the financial improvements our community has made over generations, and I'm proud of my brothers. I graduated from college, yet I'm still a security guard, seeking better job opportunities. Working in government, I notice many Somali men holding positions. Somali men are hardworking. For most of my life, I've been the "slow" Somali; however, most Somali men I know study STEM fields and thrive. So when Somali women complain about Somali men's financial performance I get confused. I think they may be intentionally choosing the wrong men.

Pizza is Italian food and it's famous and well-known; it's available in the menu.

Taco's is Mexican and it's famous and well-known. Also available in the menu.

Baklava is Turkish and it's well-known and famous too.

Which Somali food do you think can make to the menu? And can be famous

Somalis are a very disrespectful community as a whole. I am a 23M, a somali residing in kenya, I am a nurse by profession. For most of somalis being a male in a hospital wearing a pair of scrubs or Labcoat equates to being a doctor. When I first tend to the patients they are so respectful and call you ‘dakhtarka’, they introduce you to their visiting relatives and they are very fond of their ‘dakhtar’. The second I tell them I am a RN and not a doctor, their whole perception of me changes. They become so disrespectful, Its a nurse’s role to to administer medications right??, the somalis will tell you ‘orod dakhtarka iguyeer’. Its like the minute I tell them I am nurse they dont trust me anymore. Like really?? Its reached a point where I dont want to tend to somali patients anymore. We as a community are so insensitive.To make it any better the other communites are usually so respectful and encouraging, its just the somalis that are the problem. Its really daunting for such a young person as me who is just getting started.

“The sheikh is also known for spreading the Islamic faith to Southeast Asia, after traveling there from Zeila.[20][21] He is also known as being a member of the Somali 'Diwan al-awliya' (Famous Saints of Somali Origin).[22]

In the Maldives, he is called Al-Hafiz Abu Barakat al Barbari ("Blessed father of Barbari") and whose religious name was Shaykh Yusuf al Kawneyn.[23] He is credited with spreading Islam in the islands, establishing the Hukuru Miskiiy Mosque, and converting the Maldivian population into Islam.[24] al-Barbari is also credited for introducing

Maliki school to Maldives which is still dominant in North Africa.[25] Ibn Battuta states the Maldivian king was converted by Abu Al Barakat Al Berber ("blessed father").[26] The Shaykh reportedly converted the islands into Islam by convincing the local King, Sultan Mohammed Al Adil, after having subdued Ranna Maari, a demon coming from the sea.[27]

According to historian Ewald Wagner, Barkhadle was a descendant of Yahya ibn Muhammad ruler of Morocco in the ninth century.[28]”

Does anyone know the meaning or origin of the name Kayd? Have you ever heard of anyone with it?

Are they considered nationality-wise Somali but ethnically their own thing or are they considered ethnic Somalis?

So I am half Somali but I’ve never been to a Somali wedding, but finally got invited to one!

It’s my good friends wedding. Both her and her husband to be are raised in Canada but full Somali.

The wedding starts at 6:30. Should I come a little late? Or right on time? What time do people normally leave?

What should I expect? How do Somali weddings normally go down?
