Vietnam

In its area of the country not even a third of Ethiopian surface area, with respect to its population size around 100 Million, not much below that of Ethiopia. Before just 20 or 30 years it also waged a devastating war, the same time Ethiopia was waging its own war against insurgency in the country.
Today that country is a middle income country, exporting goods worth of over 400 Billion USD, Ethiopia's own export could be around 4 Billion USD annually, if at all.
What is Ethiopia lacking that Vietnam has got to make that much difference?
There is a saying which goes like "there is no poverty of wealth, only poverty of ideas". Ethiopians are lazy creatures, lack knowledge, that leads to the lack of ideas. Unless Ethiopia can create sufficient number of learned citizens, who are placed to put the interest of the whole before that of the group or factions and work towards that goal, we are destined to lag behind and even drift back behind the current status.
Ethiopian laziness begins from this forum, and from the writer of this comment.
We are all shameless creatures! We are full of empty pride, no tangible creations of material value.
You should all be ashamed of yourself!
