Oh how nice is that ❤️

I'm from Ethiopia . Yes Sista i already know that since when i was in elementary school 😊.

I have been in other Caribbean islands but not Jamaica I would love to visit Jamaica

Jamaica 🇯🇲 a little piece of Africa in the Caribbean Respect ✊🏿

The orthodox churches teach great spiritual connections with god. Good morals but what I’m disappointed by the Rastafarian that live in Ethiopia they’re spreading the use of substances in Ethiopia. Specially the youth many parents are devastated. Before we don’t have a culture of smoking substances please, stop to let Ethiopian youth to get addicted. We are a poor nation we can’t afford to save them. Thank You

You must be from northern part of Ethiopia. Any one from south knows that the Rasta community in Shadhenene . They are very welcoming and strong devoted religious people

Why you don’t believe in your own.great king selassie?

Am glad you enjoyed it

This is the anniversary of the coronation of HIM Emperor Haile SelassieI, this program is held every year an includes all mansions. The concert starts normally 1pm . There is Ises at Nyabingi , an nuff things from the night before to reach the celebration.

Haile Selassie himself had nothing to do with Rastafarian beliefs, he was an Orthodox Christian. This belief started in Jamaica. From what I understand, when the emperor went to visit Jamaica, it rained for the first time after so long, so the Jamaicans started to believe emperor Haile Selassie was the reincarnation of Christ.

Can you recommend an ashram to go to? I’m being called to go to India, Nepal and Jamaica . I’m half Indian but my family is Catholic, so no need to ask them for an ashram recommendation.

@@8all8at8once8 Visiting India is like going to an Ashram. I'm sure you will find what you are looking for🙂🙏

@@IndjanTraveler so you won’t give me an answer. I’ve been to India 14 times. But now I wanted to go to different places. Because India is not an ashram, otherwise Indians wouldn’t go to an ashram.

@@8all8at8once8 Sorry, I can't give you any particular ashram name. None of the ones I visited are worth reccomending. If you visit Bodhgaya, you can visit the Japanese temple. They have some great Zen meditation practice. You can also try Karunalaya cottage of mercy and love in Puri, Orrisa.

Glad you enjoyed it

Thank you for being here😊

@@QueenDesta it's my pleasure..One Love

Thank you so much! Blessings to you too😊

Thank you so much! Blessings to you too😊

Oooh yes. Thank you Brother. Jah Bless

Gima rasta is not a religion. Its a way of life !

They are Rastafarians.

All the best☺️

Ethiopia is indeed a nice place

Ras Tafafri ( Teferi Mekonnen) later his name changed to Haile Silassie after his Coronation as an Ethiopian Emperor.

@@Fantahun123 yes, but a lot of people think his first name was Rastafari instead of Tafari or Teferi as you put it.

Shalom Brother

I don’t hate them as a high school student I use to think they were the coolest people on earth. I loved and respect Bob Marley. I don’t think we need to expand there’s already too many of them. I want Ethiopia to be free from decadence and bring an Ethiopian youth that is productive highly educated free from substance youth. I don’t think European and Chinese built their advanced economy through smoking substances. It honestly worries me . It’s already a devastating economy as war and hopelessness to many discouraging events happening in the country. This will be fanning the flame. Please, don’t take it wrong way if it’s not curved already it need to be done.

@@Xestra37490 it seem you dont know what is nicotine ..paal mal/benson and hedges/blunts /malborrow from usa built an empire selling these deadly drugs at every store in the west ,britain build its economy selling and fighting wars over hasshis opium cocain.from hon g kong .so stop lying on this Site about the west never build on drugs!stop your ignorance. Does ganga give cancer?

@@oludummo4593 I don’t care what you do in your body all I’m saying is about Ethiopian youth period. I’m not talking about European or American I’m talking about Ethiopia. Please, stop spreading your substances in Ethiopia!

@@Xestra37490 ethiopia has its own substance called Katt. Which is just the same as ganja. And many other stronger ones that ethiopians use to get high.all day .ganja is just a herb. You seem very bias As if you really hate our Rasta brothers and sisters.who live a healthy and organic life much better than you. Keep your advise to yourself you seem to need it more. Rastas love ethiopia more than you .theyve fight in wars And have died for Ethiopa. Have you ever defended ethiopia before.? You barking up the wrong tree.

@@oludummo4593 yes that’s not Christian and Jewish culture. It has spread over the years we are against it to. Those that do it for religious purposes that’s fine. I don’t see Ethiopia on top of poverty can afford to fight substance addiction. We’ll work as hard as we can in our areas to clean the youth to get out of bad habits that doesn’t contribute to better oneself. ☮️🙏🏼💚💛❤️

Thank you for your insight

11Sep. is the first month in Ethiopia and it's 2014 in Ethiopia .

yah april is the first month

you had the good herb in ethiopia long before the rastafari people came ,

Rasta would never dare to disrespect and call Ethiopia a third-world nation. Most Rasta are not rich people, and most of them come from poor backgrounds, too. The way they reached Ethiopia was through organisation and productivity - is it not hard for a poor person to move to other countries? Marijuana is big business, and nations worldwide are decriminalizing and legalizing its use, seeing its benefits. Marijuana addiction is a lot less than alcohol or tobacco, but you choose to ignore that. Someone mentioned khat... You're obviously not very educated about marijuana, and that's probably the problem with how it's used. Making "ferenjis" responsible for domestic issues? Imagine if countries did that to the Ethiopian diaspora? Ignorance and a lack of education is an issue, and when it comes to this herb, your comments make it clear that you're not very educated about it and are promoting that ignorance. THAT is what endangers youth and makes them get issues. Rasta does not promote drug addiction. You might be concerned, but you're also highly opinionated and obviously not very knowledgable about this topic. Educate yourself (and the youths you claim you're so concerned about) and come again.

@@SamsonBenji well I’m blessed as Ethiopian not to depend in substances. Your enlightenment about marijuana definitely enrich our lives:-) so keep it in your wonderful culture which I have respect for in Jamaica. We all want to hold what’s true for us. What I sincerely believe for me may not hold true for you. the society I dearly concerned about and want to protect is Ethiopian. I understand in western countries starting to legalize it as some still fighting against it as they fear the consequences of the substance. You might want to call it organic, generates revenue…I don’t want Ethiopian to be empty head couch potatoes. We’ll continue to educate our people and fight against any kind of drugs and human trafficking. I hope soon there’ll be a movement against drugs and heavy punishment by forcing the government through public initiatives. It hurts to hear families crying everyday how their children are addicted and embarrassed to talk about it. They’re afraid to be shunned by other families and society. I’m telling you what I know about my people. I’m not concerned about you! 🙏🏼💚💛❤️

@@Xestra37490 Substance abuse has little to do with your nationality. You claim concern, yet you try to belittle people who actually know about this. Which is worse? Tribal war and destabilization or a bunch of youths getting together to light it up? You echo the racist reefer madness propaganda of the West. Lazy? Couch potatoes? Stereotypes that have been proven wrong time and time again. I've smoked herb in Ethiopia - it's not even that strong in international comparison. I know I'm not going to change your mind. Figuring you have substance abuse issues close to you, family maybe. Well, I wish you well. Oh, and I'm not Jamaican, even though many Ethiopians like to call me that, but that doesn't offend me, many Jamaicans assisted Ethiopia when other Ethiopians fled.

@@Xestra37490 anyone in Ethiopia use khat?

Stop your negative propoganda Dont etiopians smoke kat..? Marihuana is not drug. Stop your hate mongering.

Rahel rasta come to help Ethiopia solve her problems. Dont worry. It's just that you dont understand rasta. But you soon will. Stop listening to western propaganda ! You know they're good at dividing us.
