The present president of egypt is also a dictator.

Sisi was Mubarak's right hand man, I didn't expect him to be any better.

Fulaman198:
All I have is one thing to say in all this mist since you east Africans have taken over this thread from Kenya to Somalia.

The Somaliness of Somalis and the Bantuness of Bantus. Why are you all at each others throats?

Correction, it's Axum/Ajuran alone vs the Bantu squad. He's trolling the hell out of them.

BluIvy, Axum and the degenerate fool gallivant, get the fvck out of this thread.

Continue your catfight elsewhere.

gallivant:
Hahaha!

You took your time for such a lame ass response? Get back at me when they finished the excavations.You are not worth my time..

Lame response? Somali history is greater than anything your tribe has ever achieved, you know... the tribe you're still too scared to mention. Get on my level first.

truly nairaland get people wey dey run am.
its a shame Seun.
imagine if the moderator of this section is made the president of Nigeria.
i repeat its a very big shame.

LOL @president of Nigeria

@luvola you guys need to step up. We (Liverpool fans) won't take this sort of insult again.

Lol hating as expected. There is way more where that came from. That was only from the top of my head.

gallivant:
Neanderthals too had cave paintings.

LMAO cave paintings dating back nearly 10000 years are only insignificant in your eyes you dunce Laas Geel is quite possibly the oldest in Africa and it depicts the old Somali religion of Waaq. I wonder what your pathetic little tribe was doing back then...

gallivant:
Evidence...

Excavations will start soon so I'll keep you posted, you will eat your heart out lol.

gallivant:
Old neighbourhoods...okay, cool lol.

Not all neighbourhoods have so much history. That neighbour hood has witnessed 6 sultanates and 4 empires.

gallivant:
Come on now...

Man, do you even art?

gallivant:
Nice try.The giraffe gift was from Malindi Kenya.You had to fabricate..

You know what, since you are this desperate, I'll give you this one. Only reason why I assumed it was from the Ajuuraan was because Zeng He visited Mogadishu during that era, you can read all about the greatness of medieval Mogadishu in Richard Pankhurst's book - An Introduction to the Economic History of Ethiopia.

gallivant:
Honestly most of this rubbish, your history pales in comparison to most in Africa.You can be out now.

Honestly you can't accept the fact that we had a longer and more glorious history than your peeps Name just one kingdom from your people that can be compared with the Somali Ajuuraan empire, just one.

And btw tell me what your people were called again?.. unlike you I'm not ashamed of saying out loud...
Somali baan ahay!

Who are the slaves now in Kenya, South Africa and Arabia? It comes as no surprise you hold on to the past with dear life.Quite entertaining to be honest.

Slaves? Never been, never will be. Keep running around in circles. You ask about the past and when you get a proper reply you resort to silly comments like the one above.

I'm out.

gallivant:
Lol

Mediocrity at best.Also, the giraffe gift to Chinese emperor was from Malindi.Ancient pyramids where? Cave paintings, come on!!You are not serious if this is what you present as evidence.

LOL deny it all you want but Google is your friend

gallivant:
We have lasting evidence. From the Coastal city states, West African empires, great Zimbabwe etc.What do Somalis have, show us hard evidence of your great past.lol

From the top of my head:

Laas Geel cave paintings, between 9000-3000BC

What sort of humiliation is this ? Where is
Liverpool thread on front page... this is a blow
to us.#Nonsense. Msheew

Forget the frontpage the score wasn't even updated

mfuasi:
You see how cool your stories are? The Somalis in Kenya would never join Somalia even when given the chance. How about that for a fact?

You mean a chance like the unanimous decision of NFD Somalis to join Somalia in the early 1960s but instead resulted in the Shifta war?

If Somali Kenyans had a chance of staying with Kenya or joining a peaceful and prosperous Somalia, they wouldn't even blink twice before choosing Somalia. I've been there and I've talked to the Somalis there so I would know.

mfuasi:
...then it broke off again in the 90s and today Somalia is even further fragmented.Your people don't get the concept of unity, that's the undeniable truth.

It was headed Mohamed H.Ibrahim Egal, who believed in unity with the south when it recovers from the civil war. That is also the stance among many Somalilanders. The injustice and corruption of the Siad Barre regime has played a huge part in the regions geopolitics for the last 20 years. Nevertheless, we are recovering well in these past few years.

Somalia in the near future will consist of Juba state, South west state, Benadir state, Hiran state, Central state, Puntland and Somaliland. Fragmented it may look in your eyes but people who follow the events in the horn only see a solution in federalism since centralism failed.

The undeniable truth is a united Somalia has many enemies including yourself evidently, but it will always overcome its enemies. The proof for this statement is the petty attempt by Kenya to turn Juba against Mogadishu in 2013, only to see the leaders of Juba state declare full support of Pres. Mohamoud a few months later.

gallivant:
Not really, its because your stories are really cool; most of the time leaning very closely to fiction..



So why is your government bitching like little girls? Do you think federal clan states will be more united? This will make it easier for everyone who is entitled to a piece of Zoomalia.Furthermore, is Nairobi the HQs of all these new states? Stick to what you do best, weaves and other feminine needs.

Even if all the Somali states were to go their separate ways like the Balkans, they will always choose unity again, just like in 1960 when Somaliland gained independence but only remained a sovereign state for 5 days before it formed a union with the south.

Puntite:
In the 14th century CE, the Tunisian scholar Ibn Khaldun wrote:
– :”beyond [known peoples of black West Africa] to the south there is no civilization in the proper sense. There are only humans who are closer to dumb animals than to rational beings. They live in thickets and caves, and eat herbs and unprepared grain. They frequently eat each other. They cannot be considered human beings.” “Therefore, the Negro nations are, as a rule, submissive to slavery, because (Negroes) have little that is (essentially) human and possess attributes that are quite similar to those of dumb animals, as we have stated.”

Well this quote is no surprise, Ibn Khaldun was racist. You might as well quote Christoph Meiners while you're at it.

A highly unlikely but hopeful slip-up by Arsenal and Man Utd would put us just behind City.

Radoillo:
Okay, mistaking Haile for a Dinka was funny!

LOL he couldn't even believe that he was Ethiopian haha

Fulaman198:
That's very true, your plans will be a huge success.

Inshallah so will yours.

EnlightenedSoul:
The degree of hospitality being what it is, Fulaman will have no choice but to gladly comply.

I wouldn't listen to him even if he tried refuse lol.

Fulaman198:
I appreciate it bro lolll

Np my brother.

Fulaman198:
We are very similar in many ways. I believe that it's possible for a politician to be good. Most are indeed bad, but you can always be the one politician that stands out.

I won't be a politician bro, it would jeopardise many things including my project and my life LOL.

sonzo666:
I know that Somalis appear to be self confident,even though they are quiet an insecure lot.I just wanted to say that,like Indians,somalis will find it very hard to break into global football or basketball coz the genetics aren't in their favorThey might need some affirmative action scheme to get even with other races.Football is totally different from long distance races.
I don't want you to post pics of goodlooking Somalis men coz I already know how the average Somali man looks like.Being a pure bantu duh I no b@ttyboy by the way.I just thought these guys look too ugly to be horners,consideriing that horners claim to be the best looking people in the world.
By the way is haile Selassie really Ethiopian?I was shifting between Somali or dinka!

Whatever rocks your boat but where I come from, no one is regarded more superior than the Somali horseman with his camels. As for football, I'll repeat once more... It all comes down to talent management and proper training.

The Dinka tribe is found in South Sudan, not in Ethiopia or Somalia.

Btw google exists so people like you and me can use it to get information, so make use of it sometimes.

EnlightenedSoul:
This is nice, Artan.

@Fulaman I imagine having a guide would make it all the more smooth, and enjoyable for ya. Tbh, I kinda want you guys to meet for done reason.

Fulaman has made me feel very welcome on this forum, it's only right that I return the favour. So he won't be a stranger in my neck of the woods.

Fulaman198:
Yauwa! You are still young ROFL. Oh Burkina Faso? That's really nice. Yah Fulanis are in just about every country from Senegal to Sudan. LOL I think did misunderstand you lol and I'm sorry. I think you both would have made an excellent couple, but you can still find the woman of your dreams.

Sankara (who was also half Fulani) was and still is one of Africa's greatest leaders of all time. But I know that you also have ambitions that you would like to make happen in Ethiopia and Somalia and I'm 100% behind you on that my brother.

Back then I was really really young and I'm still not ready to settle down LOL. There's no need to apologise bro, life goes on. Besides, we are both happy now.

Sankara was indeed one of the greatest African leaders, if not the greatest. My ambitions derive from great leaders like him, although, I'm not going into politics as it turns you into a vile human being. I'm merely looking for ways to improve the lives of my people, just like yourself.

Fulaman198:
Bro, I can still come and visit you in a few years. Few years is plenty of time to generate some savings again to travel lol. I'm going to use the vacation as a means of learning countries infrastructure and how they operate (though it's not enough time to fully learn), just a ways to improve Nigeria.

That's immensely patriotic. Hope it goes well.

Anyway in case I disappear from NL, you've got both of my NL emails so if you do come to the horn after 3 years, don't hesitate to contact me.

Fulaman198:
You mentioned this before, but then you said you were joking.....ROFLLLL i guess you were being serious ROFLLLLL. So how come you didn't marr her? What Fulani country was she from?

He has a funny Arabic accent because he's not a native Arabic speaker, I think he's Amhara.

Yeah, I think I told you when I first signed up to Nairaland lol. Maybe you misunderstood me but I wasn't joking. I was only there for one semester, I was young and didn't really have marriage in mind.
She was from Burkina Faso, and it was her that turned me into the Sankara fan that I am today.

Fulaman198:
I'm hoping before January of next year lolllll

Ah ok, that is too soon. I would have told you to come visit me in Ethiopia/Somalia after a few years but good luck with it bro. May Allah safeguard you. Ameen.

Fulaman198:
I'm going to go East first, and visit the East African lands, Ethiopia, Djibouti, Eritrea, Kenya, and even Somalia (I know that you are from Djibouti) then go further east, visit Turkey, Oman, UAE, Russia, China and possibly Japan, then from there Philippines, and then make my way to the U.S. territory of Guam. From Guam I will venture into North America starting in Canada and Alaska (which I know is part of the U.S.) before making my way further south into United States and Mexico. It will be expensive (thus the reason I'm working a lot to afford such a trip and the time I will invest in such a trip). Best to do it now whilst I'm still young than when I will barely be able to stand many years from now.

Impressive itinerary. When are you looking to make it happen?

Fulaman198:
I love all of them. They are such beautiful women, the guy is a good singer too. Overall, it's a good Ethiopian song. Though I believe it's originally a Sudanese song . I'm telling you bro Horn women are exceptionally beautiful I am beginning to like them as much as Fulani women

The guy has a funny Arabic accent, he can't pronounce some of the letters.

On the subject of women, did I ever tell you that I used to go out with this beautiful Fulani girl in London? I was based there for a few months as an exchange student and she taught me a lot about the Fulani people. Well, let's just say I had never heard of Fulanis before I met her. In the end, I had to go back to Germany, we lost touch and so we moved on. I've heard that she is now a married woman with 2 kids.

Fulaman198:
I keep listening to


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sniCjp9ZbpU


ArtanK, Ajuran (the Bantu) the only thing that needs to happen is me replace the singer in this song

I see what you mean bro, those women are fine especially the one with the pink dress when they're in the water.

sonzo666:
Bro,I am not trying to deplete your self confidence,but can you admit that it is an uphill task?Look at these two rich and famous Somali geez below and see how they are skinny,looking unhealthy...and pretty ugly Dyou think that something can be done about these guys genetics or do you agree that it is a lost cause?Can a rich and tasty bantu cuisine be helpful in this case?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ivzU1fhoA5A

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=abBwnCW1KPs

LOL @ deplete my self-confidence. I can see you are not very familiar with Somalis, we don't lack in the confidence department, and just so you know Haile Gebrselassie is Ethiopian.
Have you seen the Kenyan long distance runners though? Their thighs are the size of my wrists.

What I gather from your post is that you want me to post pictures of 'good-looking' Somali men... Don't know if you're male or female but I don't swing that way, and I don't comment on the looks of men, so I'd advise you to search for them on Google.
