THE BIGGEST YOUTUBER IN MIDDLE-EAST IS SOMALI

[GemState]

Do you still live in turkey. I haven't worried much about the language barrier as there are so many tourist and immigrants in Istanbul and Antalya. I guess I'll have to learn some Turkish to survive over there. What were your obstacles besides the language barrier if you don't mind ?

Honestly it's a really easy place to live in, the only difficulty is the language since barely anyone is gonna speak English and Turkish is fucking hard to be fluent in. Once you learn it tho, you go from just surviving to living comfy, seriously that's the only thing stopping you.

other negatives are;

Cars, electronics and fuel is expensive, traffic is total dogshit, Eating out is expensive and lacks consistency in quality, taxi drivers are scamming foreigners all the time.

Aside from that it's a nice, boring country. Good for raising a family for a couple years

What in the name of the lord? Next to no one, you say? Are they like the Japanese? A minority of educated professionals and academics knowing English and most other people knowing nothing but Turkish, or in the east, Turkish and Kurdish? Are they that insular?

Yeah practically.

The only people that speak average English I met here are hotel receptionists, a bunch of Syrians at a health shop at Mt Uludag and this one cashier at a McDonalds.

A lot of them can speak broken Arabic but English is next to non-existent.

1. Eating out isn’t that expensive. Most places I been to haven’t been more than 70tl unless I went to a fancy place. I could get a kebab for 30 or 40.

2. I agree 100% with the inconsistent quality. The doner kebabs here are small and have no lettuce or sauces.

3. Uber is a godsend, it tells me what the standard price is. Even though in Istanbul, they use normal taxis as uber. It is very common to get taxi drivers to try renegotiate prices on the Uber DMs.

Restaurants are a bit pricey in the European side of Istanbul but in other turkish cities eating out is dirt cheap.
This lady spent just $5€ on all those plates of food in Alanya, a southern costal city.

@Shimbiris what's the estimated somali population in the gulf ?
3 of my fathers siblings used to live in the uae for 25+ years until their sharci expired and they ended up relocating to sweden

We have somalis in Yemen, oman, Saudi Arabia, UAE and even Bahrain, qatar and kuwait

@Shimbiris I remember when I used to visit Dubai regularly as a child.

I remember Indian dudes in Deira screaming at me in Somali saying “kaale walaal”.

Only in the UAE do ajnabis speak Somali.

I remember we were in dubai and went into an abaya shop in deira and this afghan dude working there was inside like “kaaley walaalo fiiri” “waa qurux soo maha” and also indian shop keepers on the streets shouting at us in somali it was crazy who taught these people somali???

I am getting Ethiopian vibes from him.

If he is Somali, he is either from K5 of Western Somaliland.

No way he is from Puntland or Hawiye. He doesn't look Eastern Somali, looool.

Look at his prodigious forehead:

Geeljires love the camera, wallahi. Always charisma-ing their way to the most unlikely of places. This is a big L for our cousins reer Middle-East, though. Bismillah.

You are correct wallahi my cousin in the khaleej says he’s an isaaq

 

[BritneyJean]

He's not Somali. He's Bedouin, with some Ethiopian heritage.

Proof? Seems the other users literally know people who know him and confirm he's Somali.

He is definitely somali but he apparently hides that and don't want confirm it until he reach 50 million followers ...I was born and rised in khalij and it is funny how we Somalis fit in with khaliji culture and we at least try very hard to fit in ..it is different in other middle east countries and western countries where somali never try to fit in.

What’s crazy is that somalis are loved in the Middle East, mostly in Yemen and oman but not in UAE and Saudi Arabia, Lebanese people are the most colorist Arabs out of all but Lebanese never saw somalis except for the diaspora and we have Lebanese people in dubai but idk what they think of us
