This is not something worth about reporting. It's just a second-hand Toyota Grande worth about $1500 if not less.
Please just dont tell us next Dahabshiil donated a lollipop to an Oromo child in Laanta Hawada. Dahabshiil this dahabshiil that.
loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool wallah i love you.
I would like to rephrase my previous comment, the story looked funny at the start but after SP corrected it seems it now makes some sense. Dahabshiil decided to donate the car to rally the youth to get behind sports and being active and thats something Dahabshiil should be thanked for.
We should give publicity to sports, youth, health, good government and promote social issues. This topic does just that.
I just dont want to see every Somalilandpress post about Dahabshiil.
OMG you complain about everything! a car even if its 1200 dollars for someone back home especially a young man is something great. Stop putting down others and trying to make yourself feel better.
What is it that you have against dhahabshiil because it isnt about the car or the fact that this young man won it.
Sit somewheres and meditate and pray the jealousy away!
