You are thought in Amharic that is funny so even chemistry you are thought in Amharic
In kenya every subject is taught in English except Swahili
English is an international language so maybe that is why we being forced to learn
It is awkward not to know English in this age and time
Anyway English is our official language
Swahili is our national language
And we have our native languages as well
So most Kenyans are fluent in 3 languages
In my case i know 4 plus baganda
I spent a lot of time in jinja Uganda so i learnt baganda

All of our books except Amharic are ready written in English. It says learn in English but our teachers explain in Amharic that is what I meant. The government also forces so as we learn in English. Not that we are learning in Amharic.

Even in Campus. Our slides are written in English but we explain in Amharic during presentation. We are all not obeying the rule. So far in Campus, I have only learned sophomore English and Architectural Science in English.

Can I come to Ethiopia already? lol

You are very welcome!!

tylann:
Iam not good at english anyway they were just disturbing us for no good reasons

Are you kidding me? Your English is nice!

Me, I don't care if I am good or bad at it because i don't like the language in the very beginning. They do have a point here why they did that tho.

In here, we communicate with family, people and everyone in Amharic. We only use English at English class. We learn other subjects in Amharic even if the books are written in English. The only time we use English is at English class. If they didn't force us, we will speak a broken English. But still forcing wasn't a good idea.

If a school forces you to speak English now, you can go and inform the government. Measures will seriously be taken on them. There is no game like this today

TayserMahri:
Ednited, kindly dont sleep without informing me when you're coming

Don't worry, I will inform you

mtisTheQubit:
The gal was supposed to post photos of ethi babes ..dont know what happened

Come to Addis, hehehe

tylann:
What is wrong with your network

My God, Abiy need to do something with the network . . . it is slow as you have never seen anything slow as this

mtisTheQubit:
eish what happened to the photos

Blame ET network. It is getting worse!!

TayserMahri:
Thats wise, sounds like Ethiopia is the quintessential African nation vis religion. The problem is that all Africans are not Ethiopians.

Other Africans should apply it. Religion is really important

tylann:
Back in the days in primary school you will wear a skull of a donkey around your neck if your are not speaking English
I don't why they were forcing us to speak English

That isn't correct! I remember when we were planning to protest in the school on 4th grade. No one heard them here actually. Even the principal did not punish me because if my parents knew, they know how it is going to go crazy.

They are the ones who need to wear donkey. They are donkeys for forcing kids to throw and disrespect their own culture. SHAME

tylann:
I once given a suspension back in highschool because of beating up a prefect who was forcing me to go to church

Nilimuvaa left right na mabaree kadha

hehehe what? Actually no one can't force anyone to do anything!

You reminded me, I was once directed to the office because I refused to speak English while the prefect told me to. The perfect was just obliged to force students to speak English. I am still not sorry

TayserMahri:

I will come to Nairobi and take you CHURCH

tylann:
I agree with you
People are using religion to con people
People are using religion to get rich
People are using religion to fck other people wives

Religion is used appropriately here in Ethiopia. You dont watch scary thiefs with weapons here, because religion holds them

You can't eat alone here, because religion hold us

Religion is the biggest weapon here which has hold the people. Even if we have both Muslims and Christians here. . .come here and witness. Muslims clean the road so Christians could celebrate their holiday and vice versa. People who know exactly how to believe in religion will bring peace. Terrorists make terror in Muslim religion but we have the real Muslims here who tolerate and respect religion of others.

Religion will help the government save the bullets to spend on criminals. Religion can be the ruler more than the government it self.

tylann:
Religion is making Africans stupid
Wtf is kupanda mbegu

No, the way we use religion is stupid that is why. If we take religion serious, we will be calm and caring.

mtisTheQubit:
duh ..do it already please

Sorry Mtis, blame ET network. I can't post anything now

mtisTheQubit:
or you can just post those nice photos of ETHI babes...if possible

kiki, I will if you want to

TayserMahri:
Never mind. I did check a few images on google. I think Fasiledes Castle is the main attraction in the city if am right.

Yes you are. Lalibela is in Gonder too.

I don't know what is wrong with image quality. I have been watching Nairobi vs. Addis Ababa videos and it was bad. Nairobi had a drone shot while Addis was not even shot with a good phone camera. Also major places of the city isn't seen. Image quality problem creates a problem. I think I am going to share you pics of Addis with my shot. Google isn't helping

urahara:
I have heard that Ethiopians don't consider themselves as black and even some consider themselves better than negro blacks but funny enough in Israel they call themselves blacks and even carry black lives matter cardboards up and down protesting. Lool.

Just goes to show that outside Africa , no one cares about how pointed your nose is or how great your ancient civilization was , so far your country is a failure , you are treated with disdain. Just what Ethiopians Jews are going through now.

Not all Ethiopians are like that. There is misunderstanding.

And I don't know why Felashas fly to Israel. I don't get the point, it isn't their first time shutting down tel Aviv. They are being treated no less than a slave. They better get back here and live a better life. This isn't life

TayserMahri:

Why wont you share photos of Gondar city though? Kenyans, Nigerians, Ghanaians and even one lone wolf tanzanian have shared photos of their cities and im certain you enjoyed. Its now your noble duty to treat our eyes to Ethiopian cities we never get to see.

I've been trying all day yesterday, the network was crazy. If network was a being, I could have killed it.

Google is another problem. It do not provide you high quality pictures from this country. I had to search deep to find high quality. Anyways, I am still trying

TayserMahri:
Looking Great! Why dont the women swim as well? Am sure it wouldnt turn into an orgy.

Share photos of Gondar, Ednited.

No one wants to swim with bikini in there. It's a religious place

If we are going to tell ourselves THE TRUTH ....

Africans generally aren't smart at all and no truckload of excuses will ever change that.IQ tests are computerised so the excuse that the tests are genetically and racially biased fly out the window immediately,how does a computer detect who's African and who's not? besides,do we really need an IQ test for proving that Africa is inhabited by mentally slow beings who are subjected to eternal damnation?,there is so much hunger in Africa yet the continent itself is naturally blessed with fertile soil and endless natural resources that God has given us.What good use have we put all these diamonds,gold and platinum to? zero...and them come the most pathetic excuse of them all "the reason Africa is behind the rest of the world is because white Europeans stole our ideas and intelligence",like really? intelligence is now a tangible thing that can be snatched? Africa has a bad record of IQ test because Africans are ignorant,infatuated with stone age life and the lack of abstract thinking that is very vital when it comes to innovative ideas.We are incapable of thinking out the box and that is why in millions of years of our existence we haven't invented anything that helps in the advancement of humanity.

Yes. They stole our heritages. They are brutal. By the way whites are trying to rule us by their muscle. They are blocking our voice.

I can only speak from my country and my ancestors weren't stupid. They weren't stupid at all but genius. I want to travel to the rural areas some day. I want to work close to my church to know the thought of my ancestors.

What do you know about your ancestors? Colonizers came and stole everything from your country. They came and forced your people to kneel down with thier gun.

Isn't Mandela from Africa? Africa has produced many intelligent nations but whites have always managed to push them with muscle. Africa is still producing, they steal them from their continent. They think with their nuclear bomb. Who are they to tell us who is genius? They are thievs

@TayserMahiri, here is epiphany in Gonder city. The water in the pool will be blessed by the priests, then men will swim in it

@TayserMahiri, this is how we celebrate Epiphany in Ethiopia. One of our major tourist attraction.

This is epiphany in Addis Ababa 2019. Epiphany is a holiday but also being a festival in Ethiopia. Ladies wear traditional clothes and sing. People come out and celebrate it on street. Christians (Orthodoxes) get holy water. It is celebrated in public

Justnotyou:
IQ tests vary depending on internal & external factors, proper nutrition acts by a factor of -+2, proper health (mental) by a factor of -+5, education/exposure also factors by -+5, cold weather factors by -+2, age also matters, genetics factor by -+5, self esteem by a difference of -+2 but all that doesn't matter if the test (classical) is done in an alien language or tampered for political reasons.

If you're thinking about taking an online IQ test I recommend the Mensa workouts. If you're in the 1-2 % IQ ranges of 132 and above then congratulations you are a genius, If you're in the ranges of 80 to 120 you're average if you're bellow the IQ of 70 you're legally a retard.

Thank you for all the info

Classic song in Bambara, very exotic sounding The Danakil makes it much that more exotic. I understand an Ethiopian producer directed the video! Dont you think Malian and Ethiopian music needs to come together? Zomawa Nterini would be classy



The place is an ocean bed, used to be an extension of the red sea. There are lots of bandits in Danakil you may get attacked from what I saw in a certain video.

Its all about marketing in tourism. Abi should come up with a tour marketing strategy and tackle the insecurity. Maybe you can learn from our experience. Kenya's north receives a good number of tourists despite being similar to Ethiopia in many ways.
Simien Mts? Never heard of them, am assuming it has many Geladas



These days global tourism is not just a Euro-American affair. Other parts of the human world are touring. Many Africans would love to visit Ethiopia. There are Kenyans who need competitive Ethiopian tour packages and bet many Africans too. The govt just needs to provide incentives and market Ethiopia aggressively.

I love Mali songs. I hear Nterni all the time because it have a true African vibe. It is not spoiled. Ethiopian and Mali music are very similar. I think both of us better work together. The director of Nterni is an Ethiopian. Nterni has nothing bad to pick. It is perfect. Her voice, the background of the video, the beat, the composition!!!
Many Mali people hear Ethiopian songs but I don't think many Ethiopians do except our artists.


Yes there are bandits in Danakil. My father's friend son got killed there. Bandits caught him and forced him and his brother to give money. They tried to escape driving but they shot him and he passed away. By the way Afar people are feared by all Ethiopians. They carry a big knife where ever they go. . .no one even dares to talk to them.



Actually Kenya is the 4th country for having the biggest number of tourist in Ethiopia. Ethiopians also love visiting Kenya especially mombasa. I have many relatives who have been there and they were jealous. They really admired your government for taking tourism seriously. They felt sad that there are many destinations in Ethiopia but our govt is not looking out for them. Lalibela is kind of collapsing. The priests are saying it shakes some times. Ethiopia is required a huge amount of money to keep it safe. Abiy is asking for the money for many European government B eacause it is world heritage. But what was our govt doing until it shake?!!!!

Lake Tana is in danger and wild life in Ethiopia is not being given attention. Ethiopia don't only have tangible heritage but also intangible. Recently, we had the tinker celebration. It was beautiful! I'll try to share you some pics

dadark:
ankara is in turkey....its called agbada....

I remember when I told them Ankara is in Turkey but some one said it is a garment/cloth in Nigeria




.......I guess

dadark:
do you mean agbada....??

Is it agbada? I only heard 'Ankara' cloth

dadark:
why is that place called a depression....??

do you know....??

Yes. It is because it is meters below sea level. Never heard of Quatar depression??

Danakil is one of the lowest place in the planet

obaaderemi:
No African brand is going international for now except a couple of South African brands. Even those are owned by white settlers. But I can give you this Nigerian fashion label, Ikire Jones. It was called upon to design some of the clothing you see in Black Panther.
https://ikirejones.com/ They are going places.

I'm impressed. Never heard of the name before. I do like the clothes your designers make (Ankara). I love the patterns you have on the clothes. If you guys use the design on bags, shoes and belts in many ways. .. you can sell a lot. I will be one of your customer

TayserMahri:
Your govt should work more to promote these impressive tourist destinations. Eventually when you guys get things right you should do big.

Here is the link to watch the Mali song made in Danakil depression. It looks amazing


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4gmGL5SqhaY



I don't know why our govt is not working as hard in tourism sector. Ethiopia is diverse as you can see, as we have Danakil, we also have the Semein Mountains. One of the reason why ET is not getting enough tourist is because of security purpose. I don't really feel safe myself travelling to Danakil depression. Afar is scary as I have been told.

The other reason is that, we all know Europeans and Americans think Africa is hell. But Ethiopia is more than that for them. They think we live in desert and they think all of us are starved. They will come for charity rather than a visiting.

dadark:
ehhh....dont mind me...am like that from things i learned in life....
am not realy a rascist or tribalist....i use that card to piss people off....
but if i realy like you,i dont care what color or identity you are....

Nice to hear that

TayserMahri:
Yeah the Danakil Depression. Lots of tourism potential.

our tourist potential and number of tourist is like ground and sky. I will show you a Mali song made around danakil depression
