-No Time is too early to start business

-Its better when you start business with no experience, because you will have nothing preventing you from making mistakes,

-I feel fulfilled as an implorer rather than be an employed

I think we are stereotyping alot from a success story like this. Just because a man from Somali descent has made it does not mean the entire nation can also do well. Case in  point the Somali pirates as we cannot generalise all Somalis are pirates or destined for that matter. Talent is nurtured.

@lumulixx One of Kenya's biggest tragedies is locking up thousands of Somali refugees in refugee camps when instead they should release them in controlled programs to contribute to building this country --- the Somali people are VERY enterprising. When the refugees leave Kenya to the US or New Zealand etc, they go and start businesses in those countries. None of those countries have refugee camps since the refugees are released to build those countries.

I am glad to see this guys doing great, I am however disapointed that all I see in the background are all Somali's. As Kenyans, we need to start showing integration of cultures not just in politics but in all spheres of life. Great story though!
