I'll say it loud and proud sxb, I'll even return to twitter to stand my groundYou’re giving Sam Bidwell ammo. Out of everyone on this forum I wouldn’t be surprised if you were included in his thread, your one of the most ultra-national niggas on this platform
This is the reality if you go to Nairobi and Eastleigh, all that other stuff is social media postering and nonsense.
On the ground people have to come to understand how they benefit from Somali business, it provides them with income and jobs. A lot of Kenyans rely on it.
I met many Kenyans in Dubai and even a few here now in New England and most seem completely positive toward us, "Oh Eastleigh! I get EVERYTHING from Eastleigh! If you need something the Somalis got it!" never had a single one be weird or hateful. These twitter saaxiibs are clearly just a deranged minority.
Hell, back when Covid hit and I hadn't gotten my jabs yet the UAE government had a ban on people entering government buildings if they were not jabbed as a way to basically force you into getting vaccinated. I needed to get my car's registration renewed in Sharjah but didn't know about the ban and this Kenyati saaxiib was at the door and told me I couldn't enter because I hadn't been vaccinated, yet when I looked sad and said I'd come a long way he goes:
"You African?"
"Yes, I'm Somali."
"Oh, I'm Kenyan. .... okay, go in and be quick about your business."
