You have spoken all of it.Sometimes there is nothing wrong with few expletives being exchanged tho,some of us are warmongers who thrive on chaos cool I would have left this forum long time ago if it was all lovey-dovey and all that African love rhetorics.


Anyway,Ed,have you ever been to South Africa?
Never grin

I actually have a Facebook close friend from S.A. . . we have known eachother for like 5 years now grin

If i hadn't met him, I could've never planned to visit S.A. I have some really bad memories about your country. You and Xhosa have changed it some how but. . .

Yeah you are right about the Americans. ...they did show alot about nigeria though...for instance. ...the artifact at the british museum is from the benin tribe in nigeria.
They also used sambisa forest which is in the north region of nigeria...and the guys from the other tribe that fought with tchaka in the begin was called MBAKU which is also a nigerian movie....
It is true african should stop getting interested in their culture. They have a way of influencinfastructural you with their music,movie and fashion...that why nigeria entertainment industry is trying to soar with them...

Drake did the same thing with wizkid and wizkid thought him the lesson of his life by letting know he doesn't of idolize an American because it is America. ..he came backing begging by reaching out to wizkid on instagram (after wizkid had blocked him) to tell him he would like to feature in a remix of one of wizkid's latest song as at that period
I am telling you. That company is playing.

They chose a very historical and cultural site . . . why?


They have no website. . .why?


They are almost begging us to construct it. . . .why beg? There must be something. . .

The new James Bruce is right here. Do you know James Bruce?


If we had known Africa well, we couldn't have been played. The modern education we are receiving is from our self. Civilization was not new to Africa. They came to Ethiopia to teach us civilization. . . hehe grin We became Christians before them, existed before them and civilized before them. It is like a kid teaching her mother maternity.


How do we know how much was stolen from Nigeria too? Us without knowing it? Sometimes I fear when they like the way we are, I feel like we have made their plan work when we do that. They will really like you when you throw your culture and change your color. Always be suspicious

Lol sometime Nigerians like talking bad about other African countries. But I was surprised when you said they talk bad about your country. Well, sorry for that! I have been watching you since the beginning of this thread. You haven't said anything bad about other countries. All you do is to talk about fashion and tradition with Hati your Ethiopian brother and with some Nigerians. I agree with you @ the last bolded!
Not only Nigerians. Anyone stands and say stuffs about us. It's normal to me now.

And I know Ethiopians sometimes misbehave too. I don't cover it up for them but instead try to stop them.

@bolded, I use to shout for African unity. It only created echo grin

To be honest nothing...although I must have heard about ethopia a few times in the US and I use to think it was an European countries. .....maybe because a guy told me ethopians are white and etremely beautiful people....but I have been addicted to CNN land BBC ately and I don't miss programs like INSIDE AFRICA,FOCUS ON AFRICA. ....in fact it was from focus on africa I heard about kenya terrorist attacks
we really need a media. Because of that shortage, we know about someone with rumours. We need to see exact figure from a trusted common media.

You see now, Ethiopians are original black people. Probably, that statement @bolded came out from a white guy. He mislead you and that is their job grin


We here debating on best TV studios! We have missed the point.

I have never seen any one getting smaller when they say sorry or forgiven someone. grin

You are so right......Nigeria has a big news media called arise news....it has it studio in lagos, new York , London and johannesburg. . ..they should use it to potray more african stuff....for instance I got to know many african countries by name when I watched black panther. ....
I wanted to know which country produced these various culture. .and viola I found my self addicted to anything africa because of how the media potrays this giant continent in one movie
That black panther movie grin

I have a lot to say now. . .

Kenyans say wakanda is Kenya. Ugandans say it's Uganda. Nigerians say it's Nigeria. Ethiopians say it is Ethiopia


Just to let you know,

~ The plate on the lip thing was taken from Ethiopia (mursi tribe)


~ The true cross the old lady had on her neck is from Ethiopia


~ The medicine that Tchala took (purple thing) from Ethiopian culture


~ The river seen is blue Nile in Ethiopia


~ Ethiopia is the only one who fought and become independent


etc. . . .wakanda could be Niger or Ghana or Zimbabwe. . .

But these people are planning for something. . . I tell you. Have you seen how excited we were having America make movie about us? Would they give a bleep if we have made movie about them? NO

We don't have to feel any excited. In fact, American guy came last time and said his company will be constructing a high tech city in Ethiopia because he believed the real wakanda is Ethiopia.

How stupid do we look? Maybe the wakanda is Ethiopia or not. . . but they really have plans.


His company chose Ethiopia. . . and it is in Bahirdar city near the source of Nile. Nile is Ghion in the Bible. These people are playing grin I call for every Ethiopian to stop this man I swear. No one dares to spoil the culture over there. We don't need his stupid high tech city



MY POINT- They are showing their admiration to win our heart. Don't beleive them

I'm letting Xhosa know that we didn't have any issue with them and Ghanaians. But the Kenyans drag them into our discussion by comparing them to Nigeria. How can we go against 3 countries just like that. But she was saying that someone tagged her here. She doesn't even know how it started

Sad indeed? Well I think, we the youths of the both countries are not really working. We need to come together like we did to other African countries. Because I see Ethiopia as a great country, a progress country. Nigeria really need to work with Ethiopia. Our government needs to do something about this?
Yes, we the youths. We are being driven with our emotion rather than our brain

We have to tolerate eachother. I have been offended a million times by Nigerians. Even when our achievement is told, some bring up the famine issue and tell me to feed ourselves first. If i went mad and keep punching all Nigerians and other Africans with my words, we all end up bad.


Even when somebody tries to offend you, keep silence. We have nations (in Africa) who are very ready to hear about your failure than your accomplishments. They take out the bad from the good. That is why we will never grow

It maybe because nigeria know less about other africans.....here in Nigeria our schools would never mention anything africa to you except you are studying map in geography classes and most time they stick to west africa map......it was around when I was writing my WAEC exam I knew about ghana and the rest african countries you would literally see the questions set for various west african countries. ..and we would complain saying WAEC has the habit of favouring other west african countries with simpler questions over us
Problem at both side. . . .

We have actually learned African history and all but no one minds that

Media is the key. Africa needs influential common media. Our eyes are on USA or Europe all the time. We need to shift that to us and learn from eachother. Until then . . . . .

What's more sad is the people to people relation is not even working that much. I blame it on us when it comes to that tho

How Nigerians are viewed here has to be corrected to get it right

Oh grin

You're right. You forgot to add Nigeria- Ghana

Well, maybe things are not yet to be done for the both countries. We really need to work together?
By the way, I have always wondered why Ethio - Nigeria relation is this far. We don't also have a historical relationship. Ethio-Kenya relation dates back to the time of our last Empeor.

We have had good relation with Rwanda for helping them out on genocide too.

There is a big gap between us but it also looks like our government isn't ready to upgrade it still. The two highly populated African countries. . . . . sad

Are you sure about these claims or perhaps you can enlighten me
Whether I like it or not, I watch news sometimes because of my dad.


Uhuru Kenyatta comes here several times. Some times for a visit too. Even before our new PM came, we had a tight relation.


I have never seen a special or even that good relation between Ethiopia and South Africa in Jacob Zuma time. When I say 'not that good', I only mean our relation isn't that strong. That is all


I don't remember Good luck Johnathan having that strong relation here also. Even Buhari visited Kenya few days after he came to power. No one here even knows a man named Buhari exist here except politicians.


Even, how many Ethiopian organizations work with Nigeria? Only our airline works in Nigeria. What else?

The truth here is Xhosa, I know you don't know how this shitt started. This Kenyans were the ones that drag you guys into this thread. The only South Africa person then, is a guy called MPSA. Maybe the person that tagged you, tagged you in the middle of the thread. Kenyans drag Tanzania and Ghana and South Africa just to score point. How can we just go against 3 countries just like that. KaziKazi joined the group because the Kenyans were talking bad about their country. Go back page and see for yourself.
Actually, it was Runalong who tagged them into this thread. And it was all because of me.

Not actually, our government and yours don't work close. Have Buhari even came to visit having no Africa union summit here? grin

And plus, our people ain't that close grin

Nigeria - Kenya GOOD

Nigeria - South Africa GOOD

Ethiopia - Kenya GOOD

Ethiopia - South Africa NOT THAT GOOD

Ethiopia - Nigeria NOT THAT GOOD

Is he a rockstar in Ethio? Yeah he looks humble. Most Ethiopians look humble btw, big ups to you folks for that! Not like our special needs eastern neighbors who smell arrogance from a km away.

I have not seen that sort of collaborative effort between kenyan cultures in music. Maybe it exists I really dont know. But we have a lot of that OG and Genge (genge means gang in Swahili) and all manner of other genres. Our culture is all over media. Mostly regions promote their local cultures via their local vernacular stations. Every tribe in Kenya has a Radio/Tv station that broadcasts in its language, some even have 4 or 5 or even more depending on community size. When it comes to culture we dont have so much of a Kenyan culture per se, though of course we come up with something commendable when need arises esp to fool the world. In that case we often use the tribes that have strongly retained their culture. Some like my own Kikuyu virtually lost our culture, barring a few details. Most of my community's songs except the gospels and a few others are usually very vulgar club bangers that cannot be used nationally otherwise it would cause an uproar. I should take you to one of them weekend Mugithis Ednited. They're called mugithi nights grin You would think you are officially in hell. 2 beers in the air all over and you cant even see the ladies coz they all bentover grin
He is very humble. He was in our university for a speech to explain 'music and architecture'. I was trying to take selfies with him, then he was like. . . 'how are you doing?' I never thought he was saying hi to me grin lol. He even help me out taking the selfie because he is really long grin Anyways, he is so simple and cool. You can talk to him anytime.

He almost took all the awards in Ethiopia by the way. He also have fans worldwide.


It is sad that you are not using culture in your music. You guys better have a character that says it is Kenyan. You guys speak the language other East Africans use, so better come up with something that says Kenyan. grin



You guys party a lot. I know that grin

Great! That was a lot of work. He looked so tired in the performance I shared. So he studied all types of Ethiopian music shocked
He went to countryside and studied how the traditional Ethiopian instruments behave. He skipped from different schools because he beleived he was not learning enough. He is a very humble man, I've met him in person once actually


Do you guys have artists who work hard to collaborate Kenyan culture with modern one? Looks like most of them do the original gangster. . .

How much is your culture introduced in your media and how much do you guys promote it to the rest of the society?

I checked. nice songs! But there was a lot of wig in Endegna. Seriously, I thought Ethiopia was the last black fortresshuh Whats up with the wiggy. Rophnan was in Kenya last year and performed in one of the local shows. Had no idea it took him that long to perfect. I'm a big fan of instrumentals cool. Got countless playlists of pure instrumentals/electro for when I dont wanna hear evil human voices grin I love beats more than anything else.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U7KbLfxpih4
To be honest, I also don't like what endegna did on the clip, not even the song too. I just did that thinking that is the beat you want to hear.

Rophnhan took him that long beacuse he was studying on how to collaborate Ethiopian genre with Electronic music. Ethiopian genre is complex more than you think. After his study, I think it will be easy for him now . . .

You can check out his performance on Coke Studio, what he made in a short time

He was the producer, DJ and singer at the same time.

Check out your mentions again, cuz I have provided you and your friends different songs.

I don't have videos of the clubs in Addis, but I do know the type of songs my people dance too


Southern Ethiopian songs will make you shake it anytime anywhere grin

The for and second song is of Southern Ethiopia flavour


Do you know rophnhan? He is an artist who studied Ethiopian genre and it took him 7 years to make his new album. The last three are his works and they have flavour of Gamo, Gurage and Oromo tribe respectively grin



Hear until the end. enjoy grin

Not bad. But you'd need a Kalashnikov to make Kenyans love this. Would never be a club banger! Maybe for special events esp cultural. We are more attuned to East African beats. The sound of the song takes me to 3000 BC in Arabia grin
Yea, it sounds Arabic. I mean they sound like us. grin

I knew you wouldn't like it and I understand you because our genre is very different. I was just introducing the unspoiled Amhara culture.

As you can see, very natural
