Article written by an Englishman, a Somali woman and a Hausa Nigerian woman. Doesn’t take a genius to work out who suggested writing about this.

Sure, the woman using her money like this is a retard but this only made it on to the bbc because a large % of people from one nation have a humiliation kink.

Why the hell do some of our people love exposing our issues . Especially when this isn't one that even affects the diaspora.

In the article they mention an influencer by name who they say exploited women on tiktok. The bbc reporter contacted tiktok and got him banned after telling them about the alleged allegations against him. The reporter could have possible ties to someone who is against that guy. Who knows if this a personal vendetta or due to financial gain either. That could be the main point for writing this article.

The article wouldn't gain as much traction if people stopped speaking with these reporters all together.

Or they shine a light on problems that have been normalised and hardly condemned. Everything is funny with fkd until some western media captures it

Shit, we even have such a section here on Sspot

Shining a light to our problems by telling outsiders on the world stage negatively affects us. It doesn't fix the issues.

It doesn't help when most of you ignore the problem anyway. Then you are stunned that a western media sees what is going on in Somali media and goes into a state of shock. Why does no one ever address this problem?

These people are mostly adults partaking in these activities. I'm of the opinion they should hold themselves accountable and grow up. They have too much free time on their hands. People don't tell others they're doing something wrong these days cause one they dc personally and two people don't receive that positively. Another thing I suspect is people enjoy watching foolish people for entertainment and to feel good about their own lives.

The western people don't care. They won't get invested in this mess. It'll just be something to read and laugh about. The quality of reporting has gone downhill tremendously if articles like this are being published.
