  • @Nuriiitaaa i think most Somali Bantu speaks Maymay and Sawahili.

  • Americans have enuf problems without having to worry about other nation's problems. And that's the truth.

  • So let me get this straight. Polygamist families are being transferred over to a heavily debted and practically financially broken American country? A country in a time when ppl are consistently losing their jobs and homes? And we're expected to look after them? Let's look at the root of the problem, ppl. The problem in their own country. Fix it. Destroy the gov corruption and change the policies so all in their country can mutually benefit. They have to do it themselves.

  • America turned them from wives, to baby mamas.

  • Mashallah!!! however, I never see somali bantu speak maaymaay interesting!!!

  • Polygamy is a Scum bag practice
