In the situation like the above in which some greedy elements of the society attempt to profit in the expenses of the poor people, all of us are obliged to speak and defend the voiceless people regardless any part of somaliland and as a consequences, the following article is raised to support the thousands of families that, their livelihood depends for the grazing land at Qoolcaday. To begin with few weeks, President Silanyo’s administration announced in Hargeisa a project which they termed is useful for the people living in that settlement without consulting and convincing the benefits of the so called project to the people concerned. Taken into consideration, it is dishonorable making such announcement through television when thousands of families that their livelihood depends for the subject settlement (Qoolcaday). President Silanyo’s administration lacks any management skills to administer such project if any. it is understood the whole project is not more than benefiting few hundreds of thousands of dollars and the thousands of families living there over decades have no issue of consideration and therefore we call this as the worst greedy in history. But what is greedy. Greed has caused more damage to the relationships of families and friends. Families are losing their homes which they have lived in for years. It is not unusual today to see empty homes with “bank owned” signs posted in the windows. Neighborhoods are experiencing a foreclosure crisis never seen before, as families are thrown out into the streets. This is truly a display of greed where inordinate things are more valuable than people. The economic depression has caused parents to lose their jobs, therefore unable to pay their mortgages. Young children along with their parents are now homeless. This source of greed truly demonstrates that our society “cherishes things more than people or relationships. Wealth and integrity can co-exist. Many rich people get that way through hard work, taking extraordinary risks, or providing a product or service that is of great benefit to the world. Many rich people are also quite generous, donating to charities and setting up foundations to help those in need. Greedy people can never have enough, no matter how much they have, it’s not enough, and they live in fear of losing the source of it; just alike an alcoholic, drug addict or gambling addict, greed is a soul sickness.The greedy person has no consideration of anyone else’s financial needs. The greatest person will go to great lengths to sell stuff for cheap to even people who can’t necessarily afford to part with their money. The greedy person will blow all their money, and the money of the rest of their household. When there’s no more money left to be spent, or where in that household almost out of money, the greedy person will take advantage of whoever they can and try to
The price of greed has also destroyed friendships. People utilize scams against their friends sometimes without knowledge or intention. For example, there are numerous scams today developed for the sole purpose of greed. Whether the scam involves debt relief, home modification, credit score or travel scams, it is detrimental to its victims. Their neighbor or friend may get introduced to the swindler, thinking that the scam is an opportunity to make fast money. The pyramid scam is then introduced where, all your friends and neighbors are invited to become a part of this tremendous money making deal. You then bring your friend in as you explain what, “a wonderful, make money while you sleep,” plan this is. Your friends then become involved and decide to invest hundreds of dollars. In the end, the only person making money is the greedy swindler who started the pyramid scam. Their friendship is now affected or completely damaged forever. For centuries, this has been the price and face of greed. the quotes detailed underneath put in plain words that, the President Silanyo’s administration intention is different than the intention which announced through the media and the thousands of families living in the locality fully become conscious the hidden agenda of Silanyo’s administration, which is not more than to profit several hundred of thousands dollars in the expenses of the thousands of families that their livelihood depends their livestock pasturing these localities.Bad beginning makes a bad ending. A blind man would be glad to see. A clean hand wants no washing. A fair face may hide a foul heart. . A liar is not believed when he speaks the truth. A cracked bell can never sound well. A tree is known by its fruit. An empty vessel gives a greater sound than a full barrel Beauty is but skin-deep.
Appetite comes with eating. A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush. Self-praise is no recommendation. Respect yourself, or no one else will respect you. Better be alone than in bad company Better die standing than live kneeling. Guilty conscience needs no accuser and out of sight, out of mind.The people living at Qoolcaday have not seen any development with regard to their localities since Somali-land proclaimed independence in 1991 and instead building schools, hospitals and water supply for their families, Silanyo administration is have it in mind to get small commissions out of the bushiness deal. The community should take immediate steps for the proxy elements hired by Silanyo administration to speak against the interest of his people, as the blood of the people is more costly than several hundred dollars paid as a salary. In conclusion, Eidagale community both locally and overseas fully support declaration by the people living at the subject locality (Qoolcaday). Last, but not the least, the encouragement and the support extended by Suiltan Ali Bane and Boqor Raabi is highly appreciated. Words cannot express my feelings or my thanks for all your help for your people. Your thoughtfulness will always be remembered. Feeling appreciated is one of the most important needs that people have. When you share with someone your appreciation and gratitude, they will not forget you. Appreciation will return to you many times. In the unlikely event which Silanyo administration attempts to enforce their hidden agenda, then the people living the localities will not leave any stone to defend their rights as this divine doctrine to all human being regardless any part of the world. Cooperation for unity even the blind can see and deaf can hear.
