I don't have the Amharic keyboard, I don't know if this works for you. . . just wait few minute. I will write that down in Amharic for you

tlann:
then tell me more about tigray you have a major grudge with them

In short, they want to split and make their own country. I don't want to talk about all they have done to us, they are just unbelievable. . . sometimes I doubt if we had common ancestors.God give them what they deserve. . . I am speechless

genieluv:
Things are good my dear. Just that the political scene is getting heated.
**** Our elections are just in 2 months time

Wow, how is the national culture day celebrated? Can you tell me more about it? Any videos or links?

Why do you say you can't be sure if you're still safe in ET? Since Abiy ascended power, there has been a lot of news about him all over.

++++ We all saw the tears and emotions all over when friends and relatives from Ethiopia and Eritrea were united. How has the re-unity been? Do you have any family members across the divide?

Yea, I heard about your election. . . something actually happened during campaign or stuffs like that.. . ??
You think Buhari will make it this year? I don't think he is going to. Who will you vote for and why??

We celebrate the culture day wearing our own traditional cloth. Students won't have class in the afternoon to celebrate it. There are concerts and different festivals. It's fun, I will try to check if I could get pics, It has been years since I have celebrated.


Ethiopia issue is very complicated. Abiy may not succeeded in keeping Ethiopia one.

The Eritrea-Ethiopia peace deal was a great news. None of my relatives are Eritreans but I have Eritrean friends and neighbors. When we had party in the neighborhood, all the songs were Ethiopian and Eritrean songs. It was nice

tlann:
why hate tigray people you're going against your prime minister who is busy uniting ethiopian tribes

I do hate the bad ones not all Tigray people. I won't unite with them. Soon our PM will also get rid of them. They had to change but they still don't want to.

They are saying prayer for the devil and we are saying prayer to God.They are unbelievable. . .you know nothing about them

tlann:
which ones are on your list

The so called 'the bad Tigray' people. They are on my black list

tlann:
calm down nothing to worry about the borana king visited his subjects in isiolo and marsabit who are borana that is all confess your worries now

Okay. . . then. I have now cleared the Oromo issue with Kenya but the other ones on the list stays.

tlann:
no iam not talking about abiy iam talking about a borana king who visited isiolo and marsabit in Kenya

What is a 'borana king' doing there?? If someone has to visit a country, that should only be the leader. Tigrayans carrying picture of Sudan flag and now Oromo doing this. I am so lost. . . hati13, help me out here. I am feeling like Ethiopia is 9 and am the Addis Ababan.

It's a good thing having the Oromo visit Kenya but I don't like the move. I DON'T LIKE IT AT ALL

tlann:
he is around some oromo king or something

Oromo king Oromo ain't got a king. When did this visit happen?? Abiy was in Oromo city today. . .if that is what you mean. . .

tlann:
you have not heard of that ?? Bole international airport is the new boy in the street and your Ethiopian king visited his subjects in isiolo and marsabit

lol. Me have no idea

tlann:
bole international airport outpaced dubai airport

Really? I've never seen Dubai airport. But I know that our airport isn't bad

genieluv:
Yes dear, true, that's because we left it and let hatemongers take over with arguments of hate. Don't you think?

ΔΔΔ I've been fine, been working as a secretary to a company. Also, I decided to leave nairaland cos of so much tribalism and hatred.

~~~We should spice the thread up once again How has it been in ET? I see regular news about your new prime minister. It seems like Abiy Ahmed has been ET's long awaited saviour right?

Yes, too much argument is taking place here now.

Am happy for you (your job)!!


Ethiopia is doing fine. Today was national culture day and Addis Ababa was the host this year.
Abiy Ahmed is our saviour but we can't be sure if we are still safe. . . I think he is famous in Africa now. Almost every African know him

How are things over there??

genieluv:
I'm doing fine dear. Truly long time I miss you guys.

Where have you been? This place isn't fun as it used to be lol

@genieluv, how are you doing? Long time. . .

Hati13:
Yeah most of Addis buildings annoys me.

I’ve heard of Mazegaja and might have seen it but I don’t remember but I will definitely check it out. Why does it impressed you?

What is your thought on ጠማማ building (located near Mexico square)?

Mazegaja is designed very carefully. All the spaces are interesting. . .check it out then you will understand.

Which temama building? Is it the temesgen building which looks like it is falling down? It isn't the first time I am hearing the name but I can't remember the type of building it is

Theophinio:
Thanks Ednited
Am going for a mini settlement there
There's a place called Zenzelma, I want to know if is good for business and making friends around there
Best Regard

Ohhh, I have never lived in Bahir Dar. I don't have friends who live there too. I only know that the people are peaceful. I will try to ask anyone who have been there. . .

You may have a hard time making freinds there because of language problem.The city is new, I mean it started developing fast recently. So, it could have an advantage for making business there. I have heard someone say that the city isn't comfortable as Addis Ababa when it comes to shopping because they don't have plenty of goods to sell there. Probably, this is going to give you a big opportunity for making business

Hati13:
I’ve no idea why Ethiopians consider the 2 different like you pointed. ednited, could you explain?

@NairobiWalker

Any time you build a building, the 5 consultants you have mentioned are required. I don't mean to talk about these consultants

Here, there are so called 'consultants' who are just there who are educated mainly in civil engineering with very less architecture skills. @Hati13, there are many people who promote themselves posting on different building, promoting themselves as consultant. Keep looking, you will see their post. . .

THESE consultants are profitable because the client brought them a picture of a beautiful building then they easily draw the floor plan so he can construct it. Architects don't do that because that isn't the job of the architect. THESE consultants require less money too. Architects won't allow to do this job because they are the creaters of buildings not copying. I have many friends who have quitted making building for this reason. If you want to take pics of buildings in Addis, don't try it. The building owners won't let you because they fear their design will be copied. I have also seen a talk show made by the 5 consultants you have mentioned and they clearly told that it is the bad consultants who are messing the city. And as an Architecture student, it is very very very easy to tell which building is constructed by real Architects and I gotta say that there are few.

Hati13, Doesn't many Addis Ababa buildings annoy you? If you have ever passed through Bethelhem plaza in megenagna in the afternoon, the window creates a glare which could make you go blind. Have you seen 'french kiss' building? Starting from the name, it is disgggustting. The building is just crazy. Almost all buildings are just made to make money. They are just flat ugly structures. Only the Churches has impressive looks.

I admire Emperor Haile Selassie on this. Almost all the buildings made at his time are just perfect. You can easily tell which buildings were construed at his time. @Hati13, have you seen 'Mazegaja bet' Please check it out. . . then you will see the difference.

Hati13:
I haven’t noticed (I’ve almost no idea about things related to building). Why is most of the buildings not being done by architects but consultants?

Because they require less money and that in Ethiopia, the consultants volunteer to do anything the client brought them.

Hati13:
Do you suspect Abyi is trying to make the Oromo the dominant force in Ethiopia?

No I don't. But it is always good to be suspicious. There are million questions unanswered in Ethiopian politics. Don't trust anyone in there. . .

Kenyanstar:
The Samburus have a similar culture too.... Mixture of different cultures assimilated into one.

on the second pic- is that a cross on her forehead? It looks like that

@Theophinio

I forgot my gmail password, this is where I can help you.

Bahirdar is a beautiful city located in the north. It is one of the peaceful cities located in Ethiopia. The weather is good too.

What are you planning for there? Are you thinking of a visit or settlement?

Hati13:
We male celebrate too (I for example celebrate it when I was in senior high school). But I think female care about it than us. Female generally like to dress and look beautiful so during culture day it’s perfect opportunity to show their respective customs.

Do you guys celebrate ende? Wendoch tigachewn yizew siyafetu new enji siyakebru ayche alawkim lok

Lionessza6:
The ignorance is in your shores as well . We receive a lot of the settler community as tourists from Kenya as well. The most investments from Kenya to other parts are more Indians and whites than black kenyans as well.

Tayser and the other rsp fellow didn't know that we have a higher literacy than you, can someone scream ignorance again .

Are you smiling when you are writing? I don't know why but I feel like you are smiling the whole time. . . I just don't know why. . . kikikikiki

If you do that, you'll be living longer than any one of us here. Bandtrua I think is doing the opposite

Kenyanstar:
Beautiful culture.... What facinates even more is that most tribes situated along the great rift valley share a common culture, tradition and attires. The Oromo are related to the Boranas who are also closely related to Rendiles who are closely related Samburus while Samburus are closely related to Maasai.

B.E.A.U.T.I.F.U.L!!

Even the ladies look like habesha.

The best part of knowing about culture isn't just about knowing about culture. . . it tells you that all of us descend from the same place. From the pictures you guys shared me, some of your people look and dress like Oromo and Afar people of Ethiopia. Southern Ethiopians have similarities with West Africans. Amharas and Tigray people share many things. The Tutsi people of Rwanda are the Oromo people of Ethiopia. Keep counting. . . The more you know about culture is the more you understand that we are 1! I just don't know why the reverse is happening!!

Here is a picture of Ethiopian singer dressing like a Kenyan on Coke studio

She is on the right. . . .@kazikazi, that's Nandy from your country. She has amazing voice!

Kenyanstar:
KENYA

I like all the buildings but especially the first one.

Many mega projects in Africa are now being made by Chinese. . .to be honest, they are good at it. Are these buildings made by Kenyans?

What are the building restrictions in Kenya? Nairobi has great buildings as I've seen so far. . .You guys have done a great job considering the urban context. Your buildings tell that they were made by real Architects. Here in Addis, most of the buildings aren't made with the hands of an Architect but rather consultants. Hati13, have you noticed?

I think Kenyans has set rules on building construction and they are applying it properly. The same I have noticed with Tanzaina

The difference of Ashenda and Shadey is very little. It is both celebrated by Northern Ethiopians

Here are pics of Ethiopian Artist shopping for Ashenda

The third pic- jewels for Ashenda
The last pic is Amhara lady celebrating shadey

It is one of the biggest tourist attraction in Ethiopia.

@TayserMahiri, they play their song and dance. I don't celebrate it and I've never been to places where it is celebrated. Tigrayans take it seriously, it would have been easy if we had had a Tigray here

@TayserMahiri
here are more Ashenda pictures. . . the pictures I have posted before haven't satisfied me cuz Google pics weren't that cool

Ashenda festival is for Tigray

Shades is for Amharas.
Amharas use no make up but Tigray do on the festival.

Here is a dressing for Ashenda

Hati13:
Haha, ppl were saying him resigning wasn’t true because he wasn’t there at the first place haha. He said there were 4 prime ministers during his reign. Poor Hailemariam.

Poor hailemariam. The best thing he ever did is resigning. Even though he wasn't on power. . . at least he passed the 4 prime ministers to Dr. Abiy kikikiku

TayserMahiri:
Sounds great to have a national one. Which city is hosting it this month? What do the beautiful ladies celebrate in Ashenda? And why not men celebrating could be Ethio men dont care too much about culture? Perhaps Hati13 should chip in and say why they dont celebrate culture. I have to say the young lady in the 2nd pic piqued my interest What a natural hottie

I think Addis Ababa is the host this year.

I still don't know why only ladies celebrate Ashenda. . . . but it isn't because men don't care.

Yes, I really like the lady on the second pic
