EZEMA, stop complaining about lack of political freedom and go invest in the daily lives of the people on the ground

This man is killing everybody with a single shot, he is gifted, fit in everything, change oriented and all these will going to reward him at the end. An elderly woman in Addis has reportedly asked for Abiy after entering the polling station, which the election worker also reportedly replied to saying, "it is not Abiy that you should find here, it is rather an electric bulb that you have to choose" for which another party's cadre on the ground made a complain, saying the worker shouldn't explain to the elderly woman (reportedly according to the election rules).

Complain, complain, complain without an end. You will find nothing from endless complaining, try to understand the need of the people and change it, no matter how minute that could be.

Take a lesson.



I heard EZEMA was complaining about denied the right to enter Oromia and also partly Amhara regions and campaign, but may I ask them campaign about what?

Campaign your political rhetoric? Rhetoric is not bad but people have got priorities and you should try to curb the problem the people may have according to their priorities. Rhetoric could help in America but in Ethiopia where people lack the basic necessities your narratives may NOT impress the people on the ground much.

If you came with some help for the people on the ground, then the people would have accepted you with their open arms and no one can deny you the entry. Do they?

You were not denied the right to campaign in Addis but you lost, reportedly, there as well. So, why did you failed in Addis itself?

Did you try to help a single elderly woman that might be lacking some simple necessities? That is called investing into the community needs.

If you did, then that elderly woman have asked in the polling station where is Prof. Berhanu Nega, like the one I referred to above and asked for Abiy.

Of course I took EZEMA as an example but the same is true for the rest so called dozens of opposition political parties, who are all good at tv-interview all the day but null when it comes to practical change.

Dr. Abiy Ahmed was born and raised hundreds of miles away from Addis but still trying to help the community in Addis, after helping those communities of his own birth place, even before he was a PM, but may I ask what Prof. Berhanu or any other official of his party contributed for the wellbeing of the residents of Addis?

It reminds me about the saying: "don't ask what your country can do for you but ask what you can do for your country", who ever said that, it is eternal truth and here is the proof, showing itself in the person of the above mentioned elderly woman.

Defend the lie,

God knows, I am not advocating for Ezema, but are you suggesting to hold the stomach of the voter hostage ? Whose fund is Abby using as a gun to force the voter, vote his own way ? :lol: :lol:

Before swearing in the name of God, did you ask yourself about how much you are investing into the lives of your own local community?

If you are talking about stomach, then be reminded that an empty stomach can't move to the polling station and cast the votes, that is what you fail to understand.

You don't even understand the concept and think it is about using the state fund, which is wrong. This is called community based initiativ to impact the local community's lives. Get that straight first, a certain cadre!

The PM mobilized a unit of the military to contribute for the betterment of the local community, without touching a national coffer.

Dr. Abiy didn't win his popularity overnight or over the whole country at the same time. He started garnering this from his own local community and expanded it to the wider part of the country over time, he is loved in Jimma and its environ. That love has now been stretched to other parts of the country and become national.

What did he do to get this? He simply started to invest into the wellbeing of the local community, according to the need, provide drinking water, build schools, health clinics, roads, small irrigation water supplies etc. by using the fund mobilised from the same community.

This must be a big lesson for the so called political rhetoric-ans. If you care about yourself, then draw a lesson.
