Somalis will NEVER prosper with this attitude

Why don't these Gabooye/Madhibaan not just move to a totally different part of Somalia and lie about their clan? I would do that if I were born into that group. They can physically blend in with the majority of Somalis. Or just emigrate, and go Oromo.

You can't do that in Somalia. Your qabiil is your address, regardless of where you move, someone will spot that you're a "shegato".
It's not just about clan names, there are family names, nicknames, clan elders. There is no way you can get away with it for too long.

Meh, if you left Hargeisa and went to Kismaayo it's not like people will find out about your previous clan. Especially when you aren't famous.

They should move to Puntland, the puntites refuse to do any labor, they can really use madhibaan skills.
 
Also @LarryThePuntite is right about the xaasid nature of Somali businessmen with their self-harning faux competition but this is another level of stupid (and hate).

and then hiring the cheap labour of illegal or ambiguous Ethiopian migrants to compete with or even undercut the traditional barbers on quality and price.

This is the reason Somali business content doesn't exist. We want to share wealth just death.
