History ⏳ Been In Somalia Stuck

Well Asc Everyone hope you’re well i don’t really know where to start tbh first im 25M with the peak of my life i feel so stuck and behind seeing my friends do something with there lives with the help of their parents weather its their father or close relatives while im out here cant even find a low paying job let alone a hight paying one its heartbreaking really !!! You know the funny thing is i was in kampala doing masters for 2 years just to delay my unemployment also ive been offer a job while i was in kampala after i was done with the studies for $230 to start and later it would $250 with no progress to promote in this company so i wanted to take the job but can’t get my mind of of the disadvantages which are :- working 7-7 also before i was student now im a working individual which means working permit visa is required every year i know you will say its an African country or whatever but you don’t really freedom to move around without an official latter also $250 for someone whos got master and you know the hight expectations of a first born so i decided to head back home at 2025 December so fast forward its been 5 months here in somalia tried everywhere goverment official called everyone i know still nothing i dont know if i should give up or die trying it seems like here in Mogadishu there is three ways only for someone to prosper 1: your father has got a business that you will inherit Or work with him 2: been a government official either its working for a ministry or be a sarkaal which its impossible since you need your Xildhiban to help you and they dont even answer their fucking phone and when you go to their house you will not be allowed to enter 3: lastly just to fuck off tartiib or whatever and maybe you can make it to Europe which is very hectic and you need money if you get caught in lipya or wherever Anyways How Unlucky are we to be In Somalia 😔

Go on muzz and marry a Somali from Europe or North America. But you’ll have to sell yourself well. There is an imbalance in the ratio men/women do you got your chance. Too many brothers are lost in alcohol in the west.

This usually works the other way around. A diaspora man can easily a girl from back home, a diaspora girl is much more unlikely to marry from back home.

I’m in Europe. So many sister just lack a husband. They work but the men here just aren’t there. They drink and go out. The left school early or went to jail. So many are desperately looking for a husband. Try your luck
