Does cigarette help fatty ..!

Let us call this CAMPAIGN “WARING AGAINST THE DANGER OF CIGARETTES”.

A Doctor was asked, do the cigarettes help the fat people to become slim? He replied that fatness is a problem to health and smoking is another problem. No, it cannot help but it can hasten his / her death and demise by acquiring cancer or TB (Tuberculosis), or heart attack! It never can help; but can add more complications and sickness!

Thus we have to warn EVERYBODY who smoke and have this habit and remind him / her of its danger and bad consequences that it can cause to the health. A friend of mine and a family member at the same time was killed in cold blood by smoking cigarettes daily because he could not stop it. It is an enemy to our lives and health.

Lung diseases caused by smoking is a nuisance in our communities everywhere in the world and a health hazard. Cigarette smoking causes most cases of lung cancer. If you have asthma and use tobacco smoke etc.; it can trigger an attack and will worsen your situation in health wise.

Smokers are having short lifespan compared to nonsmokers as Doctors preach and warn; and it is like waiting a suicidal bomb anytime – immediate death. I would suggest for every human being having this habit to STOP immediately.

Further, we have to engage war and combat against it and campaign versus this danger which has taken lives of many friends and family members plus a lot of human beings.

A man is singing a poem about knowledge:

This is our CULTURE!

It is about his dream lady

This is a Somali folklore and I have chosen it because of the singer being the best in describing his ideal lady to marry; The game (play) is Ok like other folklores of Somalia.

However, this guy is special in his poem by singing and explaining the dream lady he is planning to marry. The women and the young ladies are not in the seen but in the backstage watching the play and cheering.

Let me try to translate some of his poem singing while the others are dancing in the ring playground; I missed some points and could not catch but have six points out of nine.

The speech is directed to the audience to inform them what type of lady he has in mind. He is counting nine (9) points he wants from the lady that he intends to marry and if not having these points or one of them:

Her father / family will not get reward for an exchange of her marriage which are always camels.
She will also miss to get married if not having these nine points.

All has to be there. So, it is as follows:

If you are not full (like good looking) in three, not lean (small or thin) in three and not black in three (and are nine points all together); your father, the family will not get reward of camels and you will not get married.

But I missed three points, I will tally 6 points only;If not full in three (bit fatty as they call in Somali language), are the back (badhi in Somali Language), the legs (from foot to the knee – Kub in Somali), and the hands between elbow and the shoulder (Cudud as they call in Somali); your father will not get a reward and you will not win the card for marriage. (To further describe, he doesn’t want these three to be slender, slim or empty; he wants them in good shape).
If not small (not thin) in three – the waistline (dhex) and the neck (luqun in Somali) – (third point I could not catch ) your father will not get a reward and you will not win the card for marriage (to describe further, he does not fancy a lady with big waist, and big neck ).
The last three items, she has to be black in three, the eye brows, the other two I missed and couldn’t catch. Don’t worry, I will contact my friends to tell me what he said in the other two items missing and then complete the poet.
As I understood from his poem, the singing gentleman does not adore the fat and very thin ones but cherishes a medium size lady. He doesn’t mention color because color is not a beauty; instead manners matter much in the Somali medium of marriage and why we marry is children.

In general, Somalis do care the ladies very much and are serious about them because they cover 50% in sharing life with spouse; and are partners in home. Home without wife – we say – is a house without life, esteem, entertainment and is a lonely and a hallucination. The children’s crying and uproar at home are a healing to pass by the life’s routines and frustration. They make you strive for existence and progress!

Imagine, a world without women or fertilization of women for one hundred years, how much will the world exist further; almost nothing – a type of doomsday! So, we care about women, their marriage and their well being.

In the past before 150 -200 years or so, there were wars caused by ladies in our area and hundreds killed for the reason of who will marry a lady or somebody did wrong to a lady! They are the ground for cultivation of children and bringing about communities.
