Ok, i hope you marry a Habesha or Oromo man so that you finally join them and let us have peace!

Besides, @Ednite & Hati13, do Habesha men intermarry other Subsaharan African women? cos I have never heard or seen it, but i have seen many Habesha women intermarry other subsaharan African men.

READ THE MOST INTERESTING STORY

The fight first started with the 'Treaty of Wuchale' Article 13. Which was signed between Italy and Ethiopia (Emperor Menelik the second)

The treaty was both written in Amharic and Itallic . . .

"Ethiopia have the right to exchange goods with the outside world without the permission of Italy"
is what it says on the AMHARIC version

BUT THIS IS WHAT IT SAYS ON THE ITALLIC VERSION

"Ethiopia DON'T have the right to exchange goods with out the permission of Italy"

The Emperor of Ethiopia didn't know the two versions have different meanings. He only read the Amharic version, so he signed it.

This was the first step Italy took to make us under them. They knew we wouldn't sign the Treaty if they'd make both versions same meaning.

An Ethiopian who knew how to speak Italy showed up and informed the Emperor what the Italic version was saying. The Emperor got very dissapointed and felt dared.

The next move of the Italians was to fight us and colonize us. One thing they didn't know was that there was an Ethiopian spy in their team. (Am very sorry, I forgot his name)

He recommended them to go fight Ethiopia on Sunday. And the day was on holiday, 'In Ethiopian Orthodox religion, Ethiopians don't fight on Sunday. And plus the day I have recommended you is a special day for them. They will take it as a sin fighting in that day. There is no better chance than this! " the Ethiopian spy told them

Infact, all he said about us was true. And the Itallians beleived him. The General promised the Queen of Italy that he will bring the neck of Emperor Menelik.

The spy also told the Itallians to chill and go for the fight because they were about to show up in Ethiopia without letting the Emperor know that the fight will be taking place on Sunday.

But the Spy have already informed the Empror immediately after the Itallians agreed.

All what the Itallians expected when they show up in Ethiopia was sleepy people. But it was the exact opposite, the Ethiopians were waiting for them with unity and scary power.

Before the war started, Emperor Menelik asked the people of Ethiopia, "for those who have strength, help me with the fight. . .and for those who don't have that, help me with your prayer"


The war started, every Ethiopian had their own contributions on the war. Women give aid and bring water for their husbands (which were fighting on the war)

Even the wife of the Emperor, Empress Taytu had a big influence. She ordered the troops to fight in different directions.

There was a time when Ethiopia was loosing. . .because the Itallians started digging and hide in the ditches. So whenever the Ethiopian troops pass, they will kill the Ethiopians.

The Itallians stayed in the ditches for days. Empress Taytu ordered the ET troops to stop moving, then she started
looking for a solution. She knew there was something important in there that they stayed in the ditches there for long. She predicted if they had access to water, so she ordered to find and cut the water pipe. Which she was right!

The itallians came out weak then Ethiopia had a victory. Many Itallians were captured. . . .

The Italy government asked for the captured weaopns. But. . .
Emperor Menelik returned all the Itallian troops and thier weapons.

"Next time you come for a fight, you can bring the whole Italy population, we will defeat you!"
was the statment of Emperor Menelik. . .

THE END


#Battle of Adwa

OMG........i'm impressed with this,brave warriors and Empress Taytu is very intelligent,but, I usually think Haile Selassie is the greatest Ethiopian ever, I don't know much about Emperor Menenlik though.

Stop making yourself look like an idiot.... The Victoria island pictures you are posting here only houses 0.0001 percent of the 10m Lagosians which is around 50k or so while the rest of the 10m live in squalor and pathetic situation. No running water, lack of hospital facilities, no sewage system, lethargic sewage system, poorly equipped public schools, non existent waste disposal system. Nigeria is a bad joke.

This is similaar to every African cointry lol. Not one African country has stable electricity or water aside from some Northern African Countries like Tunisia. Most of Africa is a joke. Why did you comment that for thr Nigerian picture when Ghana is in a similar state?

Nowenuse:


Figure of speech ko figure 8 ni

Seriously, you Kenyan men need to up your game!
Una dey fall guys hand.
It's obvious your babes despise you guys. No wonder we see Kenyan babes dying to date Naija guys and other foreign guys.

You guys are mostly thugs. What woman wants to be followed around by secret police operatives?

Maduawuchukwu:


Rubbish! People showed you the best they have and u applaud it as evidence of the development of their whole country. It is just like me showing u Banana Island and using it as the basis of Nigeria's development.
It is a pity that critical thinking through facts presented is not a big deal in Nigeria here.

I've been to Banana Island and there's nothing special beyond usual Naija overhype. You can post your Banana Island pics, they will still beat you hands down. Nigerians applaud mediocrity a lot. Don't expect me to follow the sheep.

fanficgirl:

Is oyel supposed to help? most oyel producing countries are still not that good with exceptions of small Emirates/places like Dubai and tiny European countries.

don't u think with the size of your population, oil dependency should have been like ten percent? your country should have been the food basket of Africa but...

PissedYagami:

Let her admire Ethiopia, its is the greatest nation on this continent, after Kenya that is

After Kenya? nice patriotism

You can share a story here to prove your claim ..

You're frankly the ones that sound like children. I used to brag a lot on the playground about my father and how rich he was when I was a child, but he was just a civil servant. I grew up. Looks like you need to do the same. This thread embarrasses me, because you guys project an utterly false image that even anyone with internet connection who has never visited Nigeria can rebut easily with small research. Lagos consistently ranks as one of the worst cities to live in the world in many surveys and yet, many of you here are peddling falsehoods and posting mediocre pictures that have been beaten hands down by your thread adversaries.

You're telling me to "get a life", yet, you're the one wasting your life on this embarrassing thread. You get sense?

I have also seen surveys where Lagos ranks among the best cities in Africa.
Is Lagos the only city in Nigeria?
Did your shamelesness stop Lagos from having among the highest per capital incomes and flow of cash in Africa? Did it stop the city from being the entertainment and financial capital of Africa?

Pls, for the fact that you grew up in Ajegunle or Shomolu in the low income or less priviledged parts of Nigeria is not enough reason for you to transfer your bitter and frustrated life on me or other patriotic Nigerians ok? We are not the cause of your family's poverty.

No Nigerian will ever argue that Nigeria is a perfect country or that we don't have terrible problems. Just that only a very foolish and frustrated Nigerian will watch other Africans from other equally terrible African nations insult Nigeria.

Do you think i would ever argue with an American, Canadian, Malaysian or Japanese who calls my country backward? Hell NO. But not and never other Africans whose countries are no better than mine.

Lol. They will still beat us hands down? It is your type that will see Eko Atlantic in Lagos and then berate it to no limit and when they see the same thing in another African country they will use it as a metric of how more developed these countries are as compared to us.
A Nigerian will see Skyscrapers all his life in Lagos and will see nothing special in it but once he see just few in Kigali we will not hear word again about how Rwanda is more developed than Nigeria. Iranu!

Should i show you links of beautiful and classy Kenyan women who can never have enough of Naija men?

I have never seen any West African woman dating a Kenyan man!

Don't forget that West African women (apart from Ghana ) have the most beautiful women in Africa.
(fact! We have produced the only Black women to win miss world and Miss universe, Agbani Darego from Nigeria and Leila Lopez who is originally from Cape verde but born in Angola and now married to a Nigerian)

I hope you do. besides since your nation is a federal one,,, wouldn't it be wiser for the richer states to generate their own power rather than depending on the federal government? I know Lagos state is embarking on something like that but other states should join.

Obi1kenobi:
I'm immensely impressed with those Kenya pictures. Immensely impressed. Those are knockout punches for this thread.
My naija brethren, just have the self-honesty and decency to admit governance in Nigeria is worthless. Hopeless. Incompetent. Nigerians are resilient people and often succeed against great odds, but governance is an abject failure. I've told you people to quit this empty chest-beating, but una no dey hear word. Big props to the poor countries in Africa who keep showing us what focus and organization can accomplish even with limited resources.

Impressive.

guy go and tell buhari all dis ones .
and nobody is chest beating ,we just want these countries to know their place in the african continent and no matter how shitty Nigeria gets ,its still their bug brother and leader of d African continent

Peace

Hati13:

Before the battle of Adwa, emperor Menelik had brought large quantity of rifles and other materials from Russia. Even Russia had sent a top level colonel/general to Ethiopia, so he can train Ethiopia army. Out of 100,000 Ethiopian soldiers at the battle of Adwa, 70,000-80,000 soldiers were equipped with best rifles.

good.....seems this Emperor Menelik is the most powerful Emperor of Ethiopian descent.

about ur topic, the AU headquarter should and will not be moved out of Ethiopia, where do u expect it to be moved to?

is it this shitty Nigeria that can't provide 24/7 electricity? or

any north African country that don't consider themselves as African but prefer to be related with Arabs? or

Ghana?....that would be disastrous!!!their citizens wont let us rest with brag or

South Africa?....HELL NO!! they're still battling freedom, I pray they get it very soon or

Kenya?...they already have the UNAN, so no monopoly on that or

who else

it belongs to ETHIOPIA only, being one of the two countries never colonized. or

LIBERIA......no,no,no......that country is still lagging behind in many things

Man,we aint gonna take the AU outta addis-ababa.
she's our source of inspiration.

Tema doesn't look that impressive .

tema used to be what Abuja is today but years of neglect and under development. but it's still a great city.

Jay254:


A city with over ten million should be Mega already that is how behind lagos is...

Lagos changes everyday bro, Lagos is behind yet it has an economy greater than most African countries. dude it's turning to a mega city. New York wasn't built in a day

fanficgirl:

My loyalty is only to Nigerian men. And they don't lol they claim we are too ugly to mix with LOL

Awww, so sweet! All Naija women can always testify that Naija men are the best in Africa. Other African women too also testify.

But, many Habesha Ethiopian women marry us. I have seen many who married Nigerian men. There is even a thread on that on nairaland.

Do you find Horner men attractive? I doubt if other Black women will, they look like Nigerian fulanis. Usually very slim and light-skinned (like women oops!)

leathalbeast:

Nigeria is a unitary state hiding under federalism. Too much power and responsibility is given to thr Centeal Government which is why you see so many states that aren't economic viable going to Abuja to beg for money every month. YEs, Lagos ia doing that. My father has told me the improvements with Lagos power supply because of this. Yes, I have been wondering why each state doesn't generate their own electricity
Imagine how far we can go with each state instilling solar power, though I have heard a few states like Enugu doing exactly this.

Baba this your statement just rounds up my primary motivation for engaging on this thread. The fact that several African Countries that we beat hands down will be comparing themselves with Naija! I am not foolish enough to believe that Naija is good because the state we are in Is not what we deserve but for someone to run down Nigeria and deny even our "small" achievements is a No No! Look at how the boy said all what we have posted are lies(which is very stupid of him) but he believes all what the Kenyans posted are true.

fanficgirl:

LOL. Is that wgy Eritrean are so hostile towaedsanything Ethiopiam aside from the obvious split?

Yes, in some extent, but I doubt majority of Eritreans know about it. There main hate toward us is because Menelik II hadn't freed them in 1896 and Haile Selassie and Derg deeds towards them.

You are one of the worst people on earth. You are allergic to good news. The only thing that ginger your spirit is when you here bad news.

FYI, all the pictures posted here are real and am sure you must have seen some of them too. The Kenyans you seem to be supporting know they have their bad images too but choose to present the better side of themselves. It's because of people like you that the whole world think everything they find online is Nigeria. If you live in a very remote area and these pics seems strange to you then it's better you learn more about your country.

You dummies don't have to frustrate the effort of few who have taken their time to find the pics you find here. It's not a easy task and you should commend them for it.

Go all over the net and see all the old pictures you find about Nigeria and tell yourself the truth? Are those the images of your immediate environment?
