An Africa stuck with Buhari, Zuma, Mugabe, Museveni, Biya cannot make any headway in a computer age. These grandpas i mentioned can't open a new Twitter account on their own

just imagine Mugabe's been president for 3 decades and half but there is nothing he has done for Zimbabwe

ednited:


Tho they haven't said anything bad.

Looks like someone's taking my advice. . .

That was an introduction, expect more in d coming days, besides, I tink Buhari is who they dislike ND his kinsmen up north not actually Nigeria...pardon!

Hati13:

Beautiful couples. The husband looks like a classic commando soldier.

Are you Hausa?

No, i am not hausa, buh i am from northern Nigeria and i speak hausa fluently cos hausa is the lingua franca of northern Nigeria. Hausas are the largest ethnic group in northern Nigeria.

**** Here are some cultural attires from my own zone of northern Nigeria.
(Belonging to the Igalas, Idomas (my ethnic group), Tivs n Nupes. Ednited check them out.

Hati13:

It's very beautiful. Is it northern Nigerians dress(since you are northern)?

Our Habesha libs(cloth) is bulky, but not bulky like yours.

Do you guys usually wear traditional clothes or for festivals?

We wear them normally for everyday activities n for festivals n social gatherings too.
Buh it differs, the ones we wear for everyday outings are less bulky n simpler, while the ones we wear for social gatherings, social events n festivals are usually very complex n bulky.

**** Here are samples of the simpler everyday ones.

We are in Nigeria and we can tell you that the ancestor we called President has led us again into the worst recession ever.


Suicide which is alien to Nigeria is now common place.

The amount of job losses in two years is close to 3million

Ethnic strife is on the rise because of his nepotism

His Fulani brothers are now on a murderous spree of farmers because they have the government of protecting their atrocity

He has refused to resign and hand over even when he has become incapacitated because he doesn't want his ethnic group to lose power

Companies have folded up because of Forex challenges he caused.






Telll me why you love buhari and i ll demystify him with evidence

What do you mean by expect more in the coming days? You are such a petty human being. Very disgraceful behaviour. Even if you choose to display your tribalistic behaviour on politics threads, you should at least have the common sense to keep it out of a thread like this.

All because you have no self esteem and want to famz and impress strangers on a public forum. I'm ashamed on your behalf.

I've got my eyes on you. Type more rubbish and I will be on your case.

NairobiWalker:


Zuma is a way better president than most African presidents - better than any that Nigeria has ever produced. It's only that S Africans have very high standards for their leaders that he comes off as a clown.

Carefull boy, carefull.

genieluv:


Great piece. You guys really have some strong history.

**** You see, this is one reason why Nigerian governmt has removed history from our academic curriculum because Nigerian kingdoms & empires in the past fought terrible wars, conquered n enslaved each other n many more bitter things.

>>>>For instance, the kingdom i descended from (Kwararafa kingdom) n the kingdom someone like Ishalbash here descended from (Kanem- Bornu kingdom) were very bitter enemies in the past who attacked n mutilated themselves. N not to talk of how my people were continously attacked n raided for slaves by Islamic Hausa-fulani kingdoms (emirates) n some were islamized.

Now if these kind of things are repeatedly taught to young Nigerians, they would grow up hating each other for no reason.
Infact we are facing serious hatred already, not to talk if we add these bitter histories. Or is it the Nigerian civil war where over 3 million lives were lost? History is just very bitter.

Heheehhe... We were not islamized by neither hausas nor fulanis in fact we expanded our territory to d Hausaland ND besides, I don't think we hv probs wit u guys mamana

My ethnic group homeland is quite close to that of Igbos. We are neighbours. So, no offence if you think am Igbo.

Because I think he's democratic, fights corruption and fight terrorism.

You guys have a choice, you can un elect him next tym. While we are stuck with the- - - -. You know am not even sure how safe I am having all these words about my govt.

Don't expect no probs from a govt. Only expect the least. You guys think the problem you are facing now is bigger than under the rule of Johnathan? or vice versa?

I think your comment should be directed at isahalbash, he started the snide remarks. He should simply respect himself and face the topic this thread is about so no one will be distracted.

Cheers.

Hati13:

It isn't the flag of Oromia region in Ethiopia. It's the flag of Oneg(Oromo Liberation Front).

Oneg was formed during the Derg regin(1974-1991) and it's objective is to create an independent Oromia country. It's trying to achieve this by using propaganda. It's indoctrinating Oromos, especially young Oromos that they had been directly oppressed and colonized by Abyssinians(especially by Shewa Amharas) from 1880s till 1974 and from indirectly from 1974 till present.

Now, let me tell you the truth. Oromos hadn't been colonized. Atse Menelik II(Shewa Amhara) expanded to SW, S and SE of Abyssinia to conquer the previously lost territories because of Abyssinia-Adal war and Oromo population movement. Only few areas were newly conquered. The other truth is, most of Menelik soldiers were Oromo themselves. The great Generals who mostly achieved this objective was also Oromo(Shewa Oromo to be specific) named Ras Gobana Dacca. Gobana was the first Oromo elite to be Christianized and Amharanized. Some unpatriotic Oromos consider him as a betrayal, but Abyssinians and patriotic Ethiopians consider him as a hero.

Some southern Oromos also supported Ras Gobana and the Ethiopian centralization was "welcomed as a way to put an end" to 'intertribal fighting' between the Oromo communities. So most Oromo and Christian Gurage territories reunificated peacefully. Some Oromo territories, Muslim Gurages, Silts, Hararis, Sidama, Wolyata and few were conquered by force.

The bad thing was, some Menelik army had carried out large scale atrocities(torture, mass killings and large scale slavery) against the some Oromos, Dizi people and the people of the Kaficho kingdom. Some estimates that the number of people killed as a result of the conquest from war, famine and atrocities go into the millions. According to Alexander Bulatovich, Menelik's Russian military aide, Menelik's armies "dreadfully annihilated more than half of the Oromo(Galla) population down to 5 million people. This took away from the Gallas(Oromos)all possibility of thinking about any sort of uprising.

Let me tell you also Oromos atrocities. During their population movement from mid 16th century to early 18th, they massacred, mutated organs and enslaved many Amharas and other ethnicities. They enlarged their territories very big and many different ethnic groups were assimilated and became Oromos. Those that resisted faced horrible atrocities like their organs were mutated while they are alive. Most of Abyssinia territories were taken and some Oromos like Yejjus, Wellos and Rays penetrated further north and settled in Bete-Amhara and southern Tigray areas. Bete Amhara was an historical place for Amharas because it was in this place where Amharas and Amhara culture originated. The Oromos in that area massacred and tortured many Amharas. The Wello Oromos changed the name Bete Amhara to Wello in 1855.

Do I support what Menelik soldiers atrocities against the Oromos? Yes, I support. They faced the same thing what they did to others, so I believe they deserved it.

Oromos can leave Ethiopia if they want. I don't care, but they can't take all the Oromo territories with them.

Hmm, now this is really some serious history piece. Thanks.

Is the Oromo liberation movement still very powerful or it has died down?
Is it true that the current president of ET is Oromo?

She never said Kanem-bornu was islamized, rather she said some Kwararafans were.

But hope you know that Hausa-fulanis conquered parts of Kanuri land like those of you in Jigawa, Bauchi & Yobe states? This is why you guys are being ruled by emirates/Sokoto sultan and not from Maiduguri.

Traditionally, You are a subject of the Sultanate and not Mai (Shehu) Borno. I hope you know that?

Do you call someone that jails only opposition members for corruption while his party members who are corrupt are allowed to walk free

Do you calll a man that refuses to Obey numerous court orders Democratic?

How can you be fighting corruption when any corrupt person that joins your party is stop being harrased by anti corruption agencies


How can you be fighting corruption when you are moraly corrupt? You couldn't produce the certificate you used to finish college

You made sure the whole top postare occupied by only your ethnic group when we have 250 ethnic group




You allowed the army to oen fire and killed about 500 Shiite Muslim with their wives and Kids because you are a Sunni Muslim and you take your bidding from Saudi Arabia ( I'm a Christian)


Boko haram is still a forced to be reckoned with but you made sure a media blanket is placed on terrorism fight.



Buhari is a Hoax.

genieluv:


Kk. Can u please explain the amharanization process?

After Menelik(he is Shewa Amhara) reconquered SW, S and SE areas from Abyssinia, the different ethnicities in those areas were suppressed from speaking their language and follow their culture. The official language and culture of Abyssinia/Ethiopia became Amhargn and Amhara respectively. If anyone wants to go to school, hospital and serve in the government or military, they must speak Amharic. None Amhara people were disrespected, so to avoid this, many people from different backgrounds started to identify themselves as Amhara and follow Amhara culture.

The Tigrays were very powerful and relatively better resisted the Amharanizition process.

This dominance declined after the fall of Haile Selassie and Derg. Now, even if the Amhara culture is dominate and their is some Amharanizition process against Kemant Agew of Gondar, it isn't like the past dominance.

Note: the ordinary Amharas didn't enjoyed life that much then. Even if there culture was the dominant, they faced hardships just like the others.

We Amharas though we are going to rule Ethiopia for 1000 of years, but it failed.

We are also not tribal, so if anyone(including you ) wants to be Amhara, then all of you are welcome.

genieluv:
*** please can you tell me about the education process in ET in relationship with your languages? Are all Ethiopians taught in amharic or english n in what levels?

From lower Grade up to 6 grade, people in regions like Amhara, Gambela, Benishungul-Gumzas and Southern people learn using Amharic for all subjects and also take English subject.
From Grade 7 up to end of university, all subjects other than Amharic are reached using English.

From lower Grade up to 6 grade, People in regions like Tigray, Afar, Oromia and Somalia learn using their respective languages for all subjects and also take English subject.
From Grade 7 up to end of university, it's the same like the above.

• Amharic is official language of federal government.
• regional governments like Tigray, Afar, Oromia and Somalia official language is their respective own languages.
• regional governments like Amhara, Gambela, Benishungul-Gumzas and Southern people official language is Amharic.

I love learning from the other side. My friend here has made Zuma a Saint.

I'm not surprised he led SA twice into recession because he has same thought process like buhari.


Eph321 come and read about the Zuma they refused to tel us about

South Africa is still heaven compared to most of Africa....even under Zuma!!
