mehn! That harari girl is fine o, is she ur sister?

lol hehe

arinzeejikonye:
That's wonderful,

Among your tribes which ones are nomadic and pastoral in nature?

I think Oromos are nomads. They been moving a lot. Others. . .I can't say much of what am not sure of

arinzeejikonye:
Yes and am learning more about Ethiopia too, thanks to you guys,




Pls your ethnic groups, which are the majorities and minorities? You had a stained relationship with the somalis and Eritrean, how is the relationship today?

The majorities are the Oromos and Amharas. Tigray ppl are very small in number compared to these two. Somalis, Afari ppl , Hararris and many others are small in number.

Ethiopian- Somali exist

The relation of the somali, Eritrea and the Ethiopian ppl is not clear to mention but Eritreans and Ethiopians seem to get along better now.

Majority Ethiopians and Eritreans have the 'ET ER' thing on their instagram bio

it shows a big unity of the ppl

PissedYagami:
Ethiopia is our neighbouring country yet we know so little about them

It's a nice thread.

Now I know more about Kenya and Nigeria. Ghana and South Africa.
.where you guys at?

Hati13:
You are correct, but we should see the majority one, since no ethnic group in the world is pure.

Are you saying, "the origin of Amhara and Oromo" book by Fekre Tolossa? If so, majority about it is a lie and based on mostly on religion. Amharas ain't Oromo and vice verse. The background of the original Amharas back then in Bete Amhara(South Wello/Wollo) and Shewa were Agew/Semite and few other Cushitic, Omotic and Nilo-Sharan family speaking people.

The mixing of some Amharas and Oromos was after the 16th century onwards. I believe there isn't pure Amharas this days other than the few Amharas in Tugelet and Menze in north Shewa, Amhara Sayint in south Wello/Wollo and other small districts in Gondar and Gojjam.

okay now, now is when I will stop talking about this. This issue keeps on going and going but there be million things that we aint sure yet. It's confusing. I can't take this no more

Artank, I haven't congradulated you for the successful election your country have made. Congrats!!

arinzeejikonye:
Haileselassie, I know he is from the solomonic dynasty,


But I don't know his tribe,


What is the difference in cush, axum, abbysinya

cush is a classification of your identity by your place. like you say, omotic and semetic. The difference of all the three is their location. Tribe born around Omo river belongs to the Omotic group family

Axum is an ancient city in the Northern highland of Ethiopia

Abyssinia is the former name of Ethiopia

arinzeejikonye:
Seems like there exists an identity crisis between the semetic and cushite groups in Ethiopia?

yes. Everyone's view is different on this. I say that book makes it all clear

Hati13:
At which points do you agree and disagree if I may ask?

I agree Amharas are Cushite, but they also are Semetic. I disagree that they are fully Cushite


big question- have you read 'Oromo ena Amhara' book?

Hati13:
No, I don't think we should stop. We've skillful players, but majority of them lacks the standard football players diets, trainings and others. When those problems are resolved, there is no reason why we can't compete.

Currently, I'm not emotional about Ethiopia football. I will laugh if either they won or lose, because it's bonus for us just to play at that level.

All am saying is that we must build gyms, academy, and other things for our footballers to have a better score, but till then, lets just do other things

I just freaked out with the numbers. Oh trust me, I aint emotional for this

arinzeejikonye:
Wow,
Really?
So you do not use gregorian calendar?,

Seems Ethiopia is an isolationist state, what form of government do you practice?

we use the Julian Calendar. Ethiopia was an Empire until the time of Emperor Haileselassie but now it's a republic. A ***democratic**** government

Hati13:
Because, it isn't my true identity. I started to see it recently.

Egypt Coptic church, Ethiopia Orthodox Church and Arabs long centuries old propaganda should stop.

Axumities never identified themselves as Habesha. The Ancient meaning of Habesha was "people who gather incense in southern Yemen". Amharas aren't Yemenite, rather Cushite. Same goes to Tigrays, Gurages, Harars and Kebessa(Eritrea Tigrinyas or Bahir-Tigringya).

I will identify myself first as an Ethiopian and second as Amhara and Agew/Agaw.

I agree with you with in a few percent

arinzeejikonye:
That means English penetration in Ethiopia is still very low

Yes. Sometimes I feel like we live in our own world
our own language our own calendar our own way of counting time. . . even Ethiopian Orthodox religion is a bit different from other Orthodox

arinzeejikonye:
How come you and other Ethiopians in this forum speak and write English?

we learn at school. Tho it's neither our second nor third language. For example, I only use English in English class

robosky02:
you

the smile are new daily

That's nice

.

arinzeejikonye:
I have heard you repeatedly mention amhara, is it a language or tribe?

I never noticed myself talking much about Amhara, . . .but it's a tribe. Amharic is their language and also the official lanfuage of ET

arinzeejikonye:
Sorry does oromiffa have any connection with oromos

Yes, Oromiffa is oromo language

robosky02:
life goes on
how are you my dear

I am fyn. How are you? Whats new?

arinzeejikonye:
Apart from the geez, do you use other alphabetical forms in your country

We use latin alphabets for Oromiffa. But the Ge'ez alphabets are the only one we have created on our own

[b][/b]Hati13, Why won't we stop football and make a development in Ethiopia by the money we be spending on football? Less we make a fb acedamy, we gon see a 60 to 0 result soon anyway. What do you think?

arinzeejikonye:
I heard the oldest script is in Ethiopia

Amharic script of writing? (Ge'ez alphabets)

robosky02:
Ghana 5-0 Ethiopia:

not funny
Nigeria had her own fair share of defeat

DAFAQ!
these ppl better not come back. They better ask for an asylum in Ghana.
Enough said

arinzeejikonye:
Do you have luo people in Ethiopia?

No, I don't think so

genieluv:
Interesting.
Holly i have never heard of Harari people. The culture looks cool. Are they related to Amharas?

Not at all. Harrari people of Ethiopia have a very beautiful dressing. Amharas are not related to them

freshest4live:
The pleasure is mine, you are free to post your Ethiopian beauties, it would make this thread worthwhile.

Harari people

adamskutty:
since 1980? How old are u then?

lol, it's a joke. you can guess how old I am

Maduawuchukwu:
Lol. Most people are not interested in intellectual stuff nah. Nairaland has now become more like a blog and not a forum. But for you to get comments you have to mention people. Mention those on the Nigeria/Kenya thread and others on your section then they will come. That is how newbies push threads.
I will be here 2mao. I have a huge test 2mao so I gat to read.

Thanks. And GOOD LUCK

Isahalbash:
Lolz! You must have heard of " boko haram" most of Dem are kanuris from Borno&Yobe states.

Boko Haram tho. . .they really let Nigeria suffer. Including her neighbours. This terrorist team have gotta be defeated ASAP

Hati13:
The suggestion was for Ednited, but I want to post Bro.

In this moment, I really want to ask you why you hate being called a 'habesha'

freshest4live:
There are about 250 tribes in Nigeria though, Igbo,Yoruba and Hausa are majority, that's why you hear about them more.

Yes, exactly

leathalbeast:
ednited and hati13, sorry for what ghana did to your team today but we had to make a point to the other teams.

How did it end? I have noooo idea. I have stopped watching Ethiopian national football since 1980.
