Younger generation Somalis are opportunists and cold

[Kaafiye]

Abdi Johnson is right. This opportunistic culture of nepotism and corruption has created serious problems amongst our people. Out of all the Somalis that I know (and I know hundreds).....only a minority of them would repay a loan on time and in full. Only a minority of Somalis are reliable when it comes to keeping their promises. Only a minority of our people would do unto others as they would want others to do for them.

I don't even loan money to Somalis anymore, because I know how deeply dishonest and unreliable we are as a people.

There was an experiment done in Finland, where a dozen wallets filled with money were scattered around city streets in Helsinki.

100% of the wallets were returned with the money still in it.

Now try doing that same experiment in a Somali neighborhood in Canada and see what the result will be. I doubt even ONE wallet will be returned.

Somali people ain't got no shame no more

In high school, I was on the bus and found a womens wallet that belonged to a Somali woman with her British ID. I knew she would probably be still in the city but had no way of contacting her.

I mailed her wallet to the UK address with all her ID. There was no money in there though. Someone probably took the money

I still wonder if she got it.

Are you guys kidding me?! Somali people have been the most generous people I have ever run across.

As for the wallet thing, I left my phone and bag inside an extremely busy well known somali cafe in Toronto and came back an hour later to it. Wallahi some people he are so cynical.
