DefendTheTruth,
It is mesmerizing to see this kind of performance. I only hope there wasn't undue pressure on the horse in order to achieve this level of performance.
Then again, I saw a talent of one Ethiopian man and, I might add, a talent of a horse in Ethiopia. I think it takes a talent of the horse demonstrated by the horse to stand that vertically, keeping a balance, even for a moment while attending to the pressure of a human being on its back and a shackle in its jaws.
I wish another Ethiopian grabs his ruler and pencil and records the essential dimensions at the peak of the performance and gets them registered for the record. This could be a record for a horse like the Vitruvian Man is for a human.
That would have done just good for all አባ ብያ Ethiopians of Ethiopia. But the እንኳ ተፈጠርና like arrogance moment leads to damaging a successful political movement.
All Ethiopians are አባ ብያ in and of Ethiopia. For instance, the Borana man who arrived some 400 years ago in Waliso with his three wives and begot three sons, one in Waliso, one in Amaya, and one in Kutaye, according to oral history, can not claim to be አባ ብያ any more than the ገበሬ who was already living there and came to be known as ገበሮ can claim to be አባ ብያ or ባለ ሃገር. To be sure, no one can be called a ገበሬ without knowing how to till land that he owns or owned. In short, all Ethiopians from the ዘላን to ገበሬ to pilots and all in between are its አባ ብያ. That road leads to nation building instead of to one that damages a successful movement.

I think life itself is a competition today, be it for us the humans or the other animals, and that horse might not have chosen by its own free will to put itself under such a challenge even for a moment.
With regard to Abbaa Biyyaa (አባ ብያ) it seems to me the boundary (categorization) I had in my mind when I used the word and the one you seem to be referring to might be not one and the same.
I try to keep myself, as much as I can, away from the temptation of collective judgment and in such case there are true Abbaa Biyyaas in both of the sets of the ዘላን and ገበሬ you referred to in your message. If there are true Abbaa Biyyaas, then there are also the class of "gantus" in both of the sets, needless to say here, and I was referring to this "gantus".

DefendTheTruth,
It is possible that what you had in mind may be different from what I understood by reading what you wrote. I fail to understand a practical or realistic difference between ኦሮሞ አባ ብያ and ኢትዮጵያ አዉት ኦፍ ኦሮምያ mantras. Do you? I don't think either is healthy for nation building.
Beautiful! This is the Oromo I know growing up! When I go to Ethiopia will learn Oromiffa in Geez not in Latin!! God keep you and Ethiopia safe! This is what I am talking about, if they put training institution, Ethiopians who want to learn can be trained there. This stable should also make income.

you are entitled to your own opinion, in my view, but the two are not from same stripe of thinking pattern(s).
ኦሮሞ አባ ብያ, in my view, is about taking responsibility for the country while ኢትዮጵያ አዉት ኦፍ ኦሮምያ could only be about excluding somebody, which shows only lack of the responsibility I am talking about here.
To add one more saying perhaps which drives my saying home is the following: ብያ አባ ዳብዴ፣ ሴራ ዳቤሳቱ እረት ቡራቀ።
Driving somebody out of the country (collectively) only shows about lack of rule of law, while taking the responsibility of one's own country may only encourage the rule of law. At least this is my understanding.
