Do Somalis have good business acumen

[johnsepei5]

I don’t think they do
This so called business acumen is never applied inside Somalia or in the west

where in the west ,Somalis are usually the lowe class, lower than working class

they don’t build manufacturing plants

instead they resell Chinese and Turkish manufactured products

this acumen and talent is over exaggerated

Turkey and china by manufacturing are at the same time providing jobs while alsoproducts

Puntland is the only region in Somalia that’s slowly changing this,I believe without a doubt they have the most factories

Puntland manufactures their own fishing boats,paper,food products ,baby products and construction material.

Most Somalis in the west are refugees and uneducated. Somalis in Africa and the Middle East do well

Xamar has close to 3 million people . It has most factories businesses and wealth

Business acumen can mean many different things. Somalis do mostly invest in hotels, buying and selling of products. It’s easy and doesn’t require crazy capital

Manufacturing lacks in all of Africa because of poor roads, electricity , and banking systems. The scale to open shop vs manufacturing plant is not same. America many times gives billions to anyone who opens plants and creates jobs in country. Africa there is no such support

No they don’t they are well known scammers. Also I’m not coming for your tribe but I had a marjeteen manager who used to scam autistic kids families I only knew his tribe because his sisters bragged about it. They make good money but it’d haram money. Somalis are all scammers regardless of tribe or region.

Tbh I never really cared for this. Simply because every ethnic group has successful business men. I never believed this was a unique thing for somalis.


In the states the only successful somali business men I know are old men that own small trucking companies. Props to them but this isn't anything special since a lot of ajnabis have their own trucking businesses.

Since we're on the the topic of business and finance.

Back in like 2021-2022 during the crypto hype I joined some somali crypto and trading group chats. I even hopped into a few club houses room to listen to convos about stocks.

During that entire time period I never met a single Somali nigga that was studying an accounting, or finance degree. Never met a nigga that was getting an MBA or had any plans of becoming an investment banker.

I just genuinely met a bunch of niggas that believed they would get rich from just trading . I was honestly bothered by this that whole year. I literally met niggas that dropped out of school for a short period of time to go all in one trading. I even met niggas that were dropping out to go all in on e- commerce businesses.

What's even more crazy is the fact that the only Somali guy I know irl completed an accounting degree gave no fucks about trading, crypto, or e-commerce.

I doubt most of those guys were making 50k+ from trading stocks, crypto or from their eccomerce businesses. Getting a degree in accounting would have been the quickest pathway to make money for most of these guys.
