Ajuran: Too me its just a continent. The majority of the people there don't look like me, have the same features as me, don't have the same religion of me, don't have the same culture as me.

I just call myself Somali. Those who talk about africa are west africans or those who are negroid in central, south and west Africa. But in the horn of africa, and in north africa we don't care about africa. Its just a landmass to us.

Ajuran: I dont like it. Especially onila's dangerous africanism shes pushing. Africa doesnt exist the way you people think it does. North Africa is much closer to arabia than subsaharan africa. The people in the Horn dont even view themselves as related to bantus.



Africa Down. down Africa. For invading my homeland. Somalia will rise again.
the so called blacks of the americas want to claim all the continents as their relatives, or take it like a country ,i think its the root of this ignorance , its a pan-WEstern africanism or pan - Black africanism that i know, as ur caucasoid , i think ur not concerned smiley
IslamRe: Why Do Many West Africans Muslim Women Not Cover Their Hair by Ogobara(m): 11:10pm On Dec 06, 2013
somalia5: Is this from a lack of understanding the deen or they have misinterpreted islam to suit their lifestyle.

I have seen many women who claim to be muslim of west african stock who simply dont wear the head scarf, some even go as far as to say that covering the hair is a arab tradition.


what do you guys think?

I think you can cover up and still look beautiful, like these beautiful Somalis sisters.
it depend on the country, ex: in Niger,women have adopted hijab so much that it has become like a fashion, in Mali also a lot of women are covered ,specialy in northern regions near Timbuctu, Gao etc ... . Its the suni (wahabi) muslima tha

somalia11: no somalis say they are white. somalis have no history with whites unlike west africans who got enslaved by them. whites came to somalia 1900's.


its actually negroids who bleach their skin and have surgery to look white. somalis already have features like straight nose and soft hair.
The "Negroid" who bleach and make surgery to look whites are called "Black Amerikkkans" or Akata and some weak minded Africans

somalia9: These two groups of people are what black people wish they were.

We have beauty, history, culture, never enslaved. Ethiopia never colonized. Without these two countries what is Subsahran Africa?
[b]you have not even a "beauty" typical to you but to White/caucasian type, if you re considered beautiful just bc of being more conform to the caucasian standard that the world have been brainwashed to take as the model.Everyone as a History! and most of your History is made by arab/asian cultural,religious domination, even today whites/arabs are taking credit of the greatest east African history, so what do you have? Just arab cultures! what pride about adopting the cultures of your conquerors?. Have you forgotten that African slavery started in East Africa? East Africans are the most enslaved people of Africa! Arabs enslaved you for more than 1000 years along (That's some of the reason why you have this high amount of semitic blood and speak this guttural crappy languages like arabs and not like true Africans); from Egypt to Zanzibar who have not been enslaved? didn't you never wonder why arabs call you honers as "Abid"? you have even famous slaves such as Bilal ibn rabat (Muzin of Muhammad of Islam) and he was Abyssinian aka ethiopian! even today Ethiopian/Somalis are slaves,whores,Meadows organ donors in united arab emirates, Saudi arabia, Oman, Dubai,Tunisia,Egypt,Koweit etc... lol, Ethiopia was defeated and colonized by Mussolini (Italian) for 6 years during ww2. In fact East African represent NOTHING about what is "Africaness" most of you people are all mixed up, and even your beloved whites don't consider you as real Africans! this title came unfortunately to West Africans.The Africans white fear/hate the most are Western African types (That's why they try everything to destroy them) ; Horn Africans History is messed up, stolen/influenced by strangers, they identity bleeped up by miscegenation, their culture destroyed , influenced by arab culture, their area very primitive, unstable, dry, backward, you people can never influence Africa, I am sorry, no offence; and the best countries of your area are just bantu countries such as Kenya,Rwanda,Tanzania... My advice to you is to not try to compare to us Western Africans, as we re not the same race, we re a race but you inbreed people, you can compare to other mulattoes of west Africa such as : Berbers, Tuaregs, Haousa, Fulbe aka Fulani, cape verdian.... but don't try to bring us (pure blooded native Africans) down to your level ok? as it's insulting to us! angry angry angry[/b]

CultureRe: Will You Marry Your Tribal Person Or Another Tribe? by Ogobara(m): 5:48am On Oct 26, 2013
*Kails*:
The rendille started off as cushitic but mixed with nilotic ppls.



The Rendille are believed to have originally migrated down into the Great Lakes area from Ethiopia in the more northerly Horn region, following southward population expansions by the Oromo and later the Somali.

grin grin grin
https://www.ftcsf.org/images/420_Rendille_Warriors_2.jpg


so in other words they traveled to the south along with the oromos and the somalis smiley

In terms of creed, many Rendille practice a traditional religion centered on the worship of Waaq/Wakh.[2] In the related Oromo culture, Waaq denotes the single god of the early pre-Abrahamic, montheistic faith believed to have been adhered to by Cushitic groups

The Ariaal sub-group of the Rendille, who are of mixed Nilotic and Cushitic descent, speak the Nilo-Saharan Samburu language of the Samburu Nilotes with whom they cohabit


info on their cousins the masai
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maasai_people#Culture

Many ethnic groups that had already formed settlements in the region were forcibly displaced by the incoming Maasai,[11] while other, mainly southern Cushitic groups, were assimilated into Maasai society. The resulting mixture of Nilotic and Cushitic populations also produced the Kalenjin and Samburu

The Maasai's autosomal DNA has been examined in a comprehensive study by Tishkoff et al. (2009) on the genetic affiliations of various populations in Africa. According to the study's authors, the Maasai "have maintained their culture in the face of extensive genetic introgression".[25] Tishkoff et al. also indicate that: "Many Nilo-Saharan-speaking populations in East Africa, such as the Maasai, show multiple cluster assignments from the Nilo-Saharan (red) and Cushitic (dark purple) AACs, [size=18pt]in accord with linguistic evidence of repeated Nilotic assimilation of Cushites over the past 3000 years[/size] and with the high frequency of a shared East African–specific mutation associated with lactose tolerance."[25]
Y DNA[edit]

A Y-chromosome study by Wood et al. (2005) tested various Sub-Saharan populations, including 26 Maasai males from Kenya, for paternal lineages. The authors observed the E1b1b haplogroup in 50% of the studied Maasai,[26] which is indicative of substantial gene flow from more northerly Cushitic males, who possess the haplogroup at high frequencies.[27] The second most frequent paternal lineage among the Maasai was Haplogroup A3b2, which is commonly found in Nilotic populations, such as the Alur;[26][28] it was observed in 27% of Maasai males. The third most frequently observed paternal DNA marker in the Maasai was the E1b1a haplogroup (E-P1), which is very common in the Sub-Saharan region; it was found in 12% of the Maasai samples. The Haplogroup B was also observed in 8% of the studied Maasai,[26] which is also found in 30% (16/53) of Southern Sudanese Nilotes.


Honestly I do not see how this 1 case and any other isolated cases should determine the fate of Africa and the Worlds millions of Tribal Ethnic Groups

You don't WANT to see it. You yourself admitted your ppl are not "pure", stating that you are MOSTLY Chadic...not all. wink

Actually I just realised, it is wrong to call the Rendile as mixed. The Rendile as a whole are a Cushtic people.

There is a small subgroup, called the Ariaal Tribe in the Rendile, who are infact descended from Nilotic Samburu, who got culturally assimilated with the Rendille. They themselves know that they are infact Samburu. and their language is a dialect of Samburu.

whereas the Rendile proper speak the Cushtic language of "Rendille".

Here is what is really said on wikipedia sir:

"According to Spencer (1973), the Rendille are organized into an age grade system of patrilineal lineage groups (keiya), which are subsumed under fifteen clans (group). Of those, only nine are considered authentic Rendille. These Northern Rendille or Rendille proper are consequently the only ones that are included in the traditional Rendille moiety (belesi). The remaining six clans that are excluded from the moiety consist of mixed individuals. Five of those clans are of Rendille (Cushitic) and Samburu (Nilotic) descent. Collectively, the latter hybrid groups are referred to as the Ariaal or Southern Rendill"


As for "Waaqism" you are wrong

I'm right, truss mi wink.

Just the other day, I was having a conversation with my Ethiopian Habesha Taxi driver and he told me about how they still worship Waaq and all the customs etc in Trad. Religion.

LOL habesha people worship waaq? grin grin LWKMD!

Sir, you mean OROMOS, right? grin

That doesnt make them mix. Just because Hausa are muslim today, it doesnt mean they are mixed.

that argument has already been slayed and roasted.

Again I cannnot say. THey might infact be nearly 100% but just got evolved/adapted to their current physicalities over the years.

huh huh

Again I told you, that is the point. IT gets diluted (incase of any admixture). A tribe must preserve its overall genetics and preven it from being taken over/diluted by foreign genes.

The Tutsi have maintained their major Genetics as a "cohesive group".

Very true. However pure/natural Ethnic Groups as a rule preserve their genetics to a near-pure status. Any admixture is diluted over the years. THe Majorly GEnes must remain strong as they have.

*sighs* undecided undecided


1) This doesnt apply to non-tribals.

In the case of whites and blacks (AA's, etc.), your admixture is to a point of no return. Tribal and Ethnic mixing has crossed even the 50-80% marks.

grin grin grin

Take the case of Carribbean blacks for example. Extensive mixing with completely unrelated groups - Native Tribes, different African mainland Ethnic Groups, Whites/Spanish/Portuguese, etc. and even within the white populace, there is intermarriage over the years between different European Tribes. THere is no question of dilution or breeding back. These people have lost their purity completely.

grin grin

And there are no Africans in Africa who have not crossed the "points of no return"? grin

So these habesha babes are an exception because they are continental Africans right? grin grin

race hardly matters. Im discussing Genetics and ethnicity here.
lol. grin

AS WAS I. I only added in race to make the point clearer.
The same rules apply once you label ppl.

TRIBE IS BLOODLINE FIRST AND FOREMOST.

you cannot parade our tribes as some kind of Cultural Cult or Clique. We are Ethnic Groups with blood affinities.

Ok..*shrugs*

You are not making any sense here. Zulus and Afar have never had contact with each other.
Therefore if Zulus come into the equation of Afar and vice versa, then each will be viewed as an alien/invasive/unnatural intrusion.

OMG!! grin

I was making a point to illustrate how patriarchal societies can cause ppl who are not pure
to still view themselves as one thing due to tradition
. Even then, there Africans from different nations or regions of Africa who mix and their offspring at times take on one culture for identification purposes.

Take a look at this chocolate hunk, Edris Elba who is Ghanaian and Sierra Leonean.

[img]http://ionetheurbandaily.files./2011/09/idris-elba-beanie.jpg[/img]

I guarantee that his parents' tribes had nada to do with each other DIRECTLY yet they created a mixed African man who also has a daughter with an African woman who is neither Ghanaian or Sierra Leonean but LIBERIAN. grin

You see what I am saying? It's nothing new dude. Or what of the Nigerian men who marry and procreate with south african women? lol EXACTLY.

Law of Patriarchy only applied to the Tribes within the Greater Ethnic Group and the Clannish System of the said group. With Globalization, etc., todays Africans are taking it literally as an excuse to mean that one can marry anyone, as long as the tribal lineage is patriarchal. That is bullsh!T

grin grin

Dont you know how europe lost her tribes? BY INTERMARRIAGE.

yes i am aware of that. smiley

If 2 Tribes marry each other and then with each subsequent generation, the kids marry other tribes. The original culutre of the ethnic Groups will dissappear and become extinct with 2-3 Generations.

lol abeg calm down! grin
GEEEZE! grin grin

Centruies Late? Are you kidding me?

Almost all African Tribes have maintained purity of their Tribal Bloodlines, so far until the current Age. I have already explained any slight dilutions that do not affect the major Genetic Strength.

if you still do not understand my point, all I can say is. .

You are just jealous of our tribal structure and are sub-consciously attempting to pull it down, like all other mixed people.

@bold you are a TOP OF THE LINE comedian. cheesy cheesy

This is why I say that Tribals should keep away from mixed people and mixed people have no right on commenting on issues regarding our tribes to destabilize our tribes.

Yeah, you're trolling as usual. wink
It's ok, we can pretend you are 100% pure if you want to. smiley
The Black American negropeans are the only group of people on earth that take pride of being mixed, they suffer some of the worst form of low self self esteem and eager more than anyone for cross breeding in order to wash away their Nigerian/Ghanaian/Senegalese/Beninese genes (that they hate more than anything )from their progeny, and have a great obsession toward (caucasian feature; hair that they call "good hair"wink and Horn African women : Somali/Ethiopian/Eritrean for their non-stereotypical "African feature"
