Wow! Thank God, to see freedom and accountablity flourishing in democratic Ethiopia. Who would have thought this kind of award to be given for our sports heros in the past?
Our sports men and women these days are really lucky to have been playing with freedom and the love of their country.
No more running away from their beloved country and people, but represent their country with love and loyality.
Thank God for EPRDF!!

Though what the federation did for the players is appreciated,these should not be considered as political gain.EPRDF is a Dictator surrounded by many corrupted people.

This is nice. EFF should honour it's promises. The footballers will bring more money if they succeed to win. We should separate sport from politics. Music, Sport, Religion should be separated from politics. It does not matter what kind of government in Ethiopia is, we should support the national team. There are some common things we all should support. One is football, atheletics, music, beauty contests, artist works, ethiopian scientists in the limelight etc. These things are non-partisan and should be supported by all.

We hope the North American Football Association supports our national team at least by sending some message of solidarity etc.

The reward for players is too much. The financial costs from this play should not exceed the financial benefits.

Protests? Why there aren't a number of players as far the population is there.

Why Ethiopian gov't wouldn't give a secured and safety economic activities? For example, in Western Shoa, Bako Woreda, Walkituma Bekerer, a cader named: Namie Mamo Banti has been engaged on theft and looting activities. There are many farmers suffering from similar conditions.

It is better if farmers insured or government pay compensation for the lose of assets. This will help to increase production and productivity of farm.

However!! Please notice that there is a security environment for foreign investors.

Where that wide ass Agazit makor?I n any way Ethiopian football team look and act like Redskin.May G-D help Ethiopian team.

I don't understand why the federation is not selling the national jersey to generate revenue. Come on people, is this really hard to grasp? It is done everywhere in the world. Even our own athletic federation has started selling a green yellow top with the name Ethiopia embalmed at the back. Very popular in the country right now. When i was in addis recently, i looked for soccer jersey everywhere to no avail. I and my friends were willing to pay as much as 100 dollar for it. I am sure it will be a hot commodity amongst the diaspora community who is tired of wearing eropean club's jersey and a good source of income for the federation to cover expenses like this one. They can sell it only online to prevent the Chinese from selling second hand in Addis just like what is happening for the Olympians' t-shirt/top i was talking about above.

I agree with Fitawrari free above and the EFF should look into selling the jersey of the national team exclusively. That's what our late pm used to say 'Money in the bank'. EFF do not have a reason to be short in money.

Adgi ,stop your stupid faititale .This is not the first and certainly the last time that Sport Heroes shall be granted the proper prizes .If the Football Federation's decided finally to pay the players this is of course a good thing .For your Information it's not your Agazi-Amice bros who have paid the prizes but the Sponsor. And certainly not the Evil Widow and her Ethno-Mafia Firm EFFORT...LOL !!!!! Why just Bedele Beer ,why not Mesfin Engeenering , Dashin Beera and EAL new Agazi CEO...LOL !!!

Addis Zemen what your name's where's your wife agazit big fat ass tegre woman?imagine agazit woman playing soccer in men game,what she dress like agazit old fat ass?

Mr. Teddy, I read your short argument sometimes and you are going out of your way. now for example THE EVIL WIDOW. What is this none sens you are talking about?who are you trying to convince prime Minster Meles had an evil wife? So what man? Leave her alone. Get over it.
Hodam- Why don't you go to eritria with berhanu and fight the evil lady? ATELA. YOU KNOW HOW TO BARK INSIDE STARBUCKS.If you are a man you need to go out and fight like she did to the derg. FESAM. You are nothing but H O D A M. AND YOU ARE BIG ADGI MEANS DONKY AND HODAM WHO DOEN'T THINK. THAT IS YOU.

Jimatam ,99% of the Ethiopians ,only you the TPLF Thugs and Bandas who are supposing ignoring the Truth, know perfectly who the hell is the evil Widow .For your Information ,Eri land is the birth place of your dear Amice Leaders and the land of your spiritual Father .Starbuks ,you mean your dear places where ,TPLF Thugs and Agazi village Idiots like you used to waste their times being Persona Non Granta in Little Ethiopias and Ethiopian Patriotic Churchs...LOL !!!.As Hodam you are the best example of useless Agazi-Amice bandas sent to the USA with fake Student Visas and Divis surviving on the subsides sent by the evil widow and her gangs ...YE STARBUCKS TEDEBARRI ,SERAFET LEKAMMI BANDA !!!!

TEDDY
What the hell are you talking about. You must be one hell of stupid person in town. In fact you must be a unique person who was born with nothing between your ears.

Next time before you open your big stinky mouth, cover your face. ( of course I can't say think, as you have nothing to think with)

Let's see here

1984. 1$=5 birr. Population ca 50 million, PURE ETHIOPIA
2012. 1$=20 birr. Population 80-90 million with so many DICCALAS to be adapted to western phadophiles.

5000$= 100000 merkato stinky birr.

You need

Right now Ethiopia is in a football frenzy ...

yergebe amora bele nana, yergeb

Dear free,

I also could understand why u didn't start the business urself it is Gold mine... All remaining day is 21 days after that we don't know what will happened..

U could have approached our sport federation and tell them u could have advertised it in nazert.com nazert.com is number one go to website even VOA 100 million dollars company come to pay visit... Even ESAT must come here to be noticed. So the business model would have worked perfect if u had talk to them while I. Where in addis.

Still it is not late u could contact them in Ethiopia we produce the best jersey... It would have been a matter of putting an order... I only imagined this lead to cotton shortage in Ethiopia.


Re:- pure Et

Anyhow my second point is to pure ET... I know u try to belittle 100,000 birr but do u have $5000 dollars cash even in ur visa card laying around?

My 3rd point

To make it worth while Ethiopian should give what she have in abundant which is LAND... Why not just give them land worth million of birr that way they can go to bank use the land as collateral to start business...in away that is how u creating wealth from nothing..


Re:-StopInjustice


My 5th point is about StopInjustice,

Do u know how insurance work? First u pay monthly due then if something happened the insurance take care of u..

The cattle harder are very rich who smuggled out their cattle out of Ethiopia and sale it in black market all years and when they have problem they come out and cry about it...

The cattle harder are very rich they can afforded to pay tax and insurance if they want government service. Pls don't come back to me saying they paying their fair share the question how many percent 10%? or 20%? When the percentage goes up to 80% come talk to me.

Once the cattle harder pay their due then the government have to proved well water, health care, also proved security, fair market price to sale their cattle fast and easy, etc etc..

Saying all this what is the point of saying why the government paying the sport hero money they deserve....meet might be food for our stomach but sport is food for our Heath and our mind.. If u want healthy body then u have to do sport... If u are healthy only u can eAt meet..

AZ,
You were the first to comment and got it wrong. Which past you're talking about. You would never miss an opportunity to puff up your EPRDF/TPLF.

In the past (assuming you were refering to the last regime) sport was not considered proffessional and hence no prize money worthy of the name.Same for former communist states.

Despite the fed's flimsy excuses it came up with money and gave them their well-earned prize. The prize money may not be much for these pros but it surely represents more than that.

Gemo ,wonder why you thuggy guys are ashamed of assuming your Agazi-Amice origin ,who cares about a bunch of Morons sent to the USA just to talk and vomit stupid propagandas and useless words .Go back to your Goat herds ,MORON DEDEB BANDA !!!!

Addis Defdef the Gay Shabian

bohhhhhhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

What a moron..lol.. Your stupidity is a shinning example and mixed with your disparate plea for support is down right pitiful, humiliating, and embarrassing.

Poor shabian serving TPLF boy!!!

Go back to Asmera. You are not welcome in our land.

Nice that they got paid. But really
the Federation owes the players more money.
Just imagine how much money they are generating. Either build a new Stadium or give the money to the players minus expenses. Just like running it will help produce new exellent players.

Nenewe siga dewe,...

You're making my point dude! I'm just giving the credit where its due. Nothing else.
When I saw Ethiopians everywhere watching the last game between Ethiopia and the Sudan, believing in our team and giving support, most of all the excitment and pride I saw after our team won a miracle way of performance after losing 5-3 in Kartum. WOW! YOU CAN'T WRITE A BETTER SCRIPT THAN THIS!
What a great feeling!
Then, when you pouse for a second and think about it, none of these things would've happened if it was not for the stablity, freedom, peace, security,and developmetal progress we are enjoying, which is the trade mark of EPRDF.
Whether you like it or not, accept it or deny it, that is the bottom line DUDE!

Adgi ,are you kidding or not where the Hell have you seen ,in a country where 99% of the peoples are starving ,2/3 of the country is on the eve of sinking in Total Cahos of Civil War ,peoples are strowing in prison for just expressing their own opinion this is what really is today Ethiopia under the Rule of your Agazi-Amice Bros not the United States the Land where you are living enjoying these leisuries...LOL !!!Afterall the results scored by the National Team are only the Fruits of the hard works waged by the Coach .Certainly not of your Bandit Bros and really not the Legacy of your Dead Leba Master .

Teddy, you seem to be in an ugly nightmare. Hope you will wake up from your slumber. The real Ethiopia, even with all its difficulties, is a civil place where there is optimism and determination to build a better tomorrow. Our success in the field of soccer thus far is just an another sign of a nation that is slowly but surely awakening from the nightmare like the one you are living through.

Good luck to our team. Train hard, focus and give it your very best.

HELLO HELLO Miss or MR. addis zemen [Visitor] addis zemen [Visitor] Always Remember to take your Vitamins: Take your Vitamin A for ACTION, Vitamin B for Belief, Vitamin C for Confidence ,Vitamin D for Discipline, Vitamin E for Enthusiasm!!

You are talking crazy-person talk. Put your words in word places please

Ato Free,

You made a good remark.

For most of the Ethiopians the problem is the FLAG on the jersey! Who is going to buy a jersey with the Woyanne flag? This is one of the issues the new Accidental PM should look at it.

Puer et,
The prize money is just a peanut , but you are playing for an African team and compare to the majority of starved people this is like being a millionaire and the motivation is not $.

AZ,
I must admit that you've mastered the art of dodging. Had the previous regime not banned proffessional sport, prize money would have been given to players, great players of that era would have been able to pursue their careers in foreign clubs instead of ending up in a country where soccer is part-time sport.That was my point.

In the absence of stablity,freedom, peace, security,and developmetal progress (to paraphrase during fascist Derg's rule) the NT qualified for the tournament held in Libya 30+ years ago . The NT hadn't since qualified for the finals. At this stage the NT reached the level it did then.

Don't get me wrong, though. I am as thrilled as you for the NT to be at the finals in SA. As you said millions of fans sat at the edge of their seats till the the final whistle and celebrated the victory. It is just that it's premature to give credit to at this stage.

Best of luck to our team.

First our nation's leaders This is all bloodthirsty Communism! Our crooked government leaders have sold us out to a bunch of lying, thieving,Criminals!



Second, our retarded society keeps re-electing these criminals government to office. Ethiopian People believe the lies every election time without fail. Thus, Ethiopian people get what they deserve for being stupid.



Third, they steal our homes under cover of darkness hurting innocent people, robbing all Ethiopian families of their possessions



Fourth, they steal our freedoms with our property rights. This is the ultimate stated goal of woyanne Communism

With this kind of selfishness, cutthroat business and evil greed, it's a wonder why God doesn't reign down fire and brimstone on Ethiopian crooked government leaders

DEAR FREE [MEMBER]

You have raised a very valuable questions and you suggested a very valuable idea such as for the federation marketing uniforms,emblems etc etc.

For inistance to the most part all my western style clothes are made by my self.I design and wear my own cloth "made by "Agazit"

I think you should go to a tailor shop and have them make you that uniform you wanted so badly.

Dont wait for the lazy bastards sports federation officials who lacks creativity.

During the struggle the Tplf and most ordinary Tigray people were very creative and self taught commanders,desingers,mechanics,musicians,artists etc etc.

Throughout ethiopia history our ancestors were very creative,artists etc etc that have some how slipped out of most ethiopians.

Today most of our political leaders,artists,engineers,scientistsand most ordinary ethiopians including Tigreans lack creativity instead most of them opt to copy from foreigners.

When ever a creative ethiopians suggest new ideas,art,laws most ethiopians discourage those individuals or mock them.

For inistance most ethiopians and government officials who had the chance to live oversea never learn from those countries and try to do better for thier countries.These scumbags never care as long as thier lifes and family members are good.

For inistance when the two foreing government officials invited me to visit what ever country i want to see ,i chose to go to former russians state so i can observe thier development and learn thier history.

In the process i learn how much thier countries were developed.Small towns in those countries that are only inhabited by 500 people had electricity,clean water,roads and all the infrastructure big cities have.

Because thier government and the ordinary citizens care for each other and are less corrupt.

The point is in ethiopia most officials,citizens ,artists lack creativity of thier own original ideas based on our culture,traditions.

Most ethiopians are the biggest cowards and shameful people who are not proud of thier own history,traditions ,cultures and thier own creativity work.

As you know Ethiopia was almost the first ethiopia orthodox christian country in africa and the world.We had our own BLACK BABY JESUS,ANGELS,MARIAM that our ancestors depicted in various walls of churchs,but yet most coward ethiopians rather hang White jesus,White mariam in church and in thier houses.

The lack of creativity and original ideas being implemented can be seing all over ethiopia including where i live in Tigray.

We dont try to improve our roads with pedestrian lanes,traffic laws,public parking and prohibit animals from main traffic roads.

These things and others are very easy to change and enforce the laws.

But officials ,citizens dont give a shit about improving the little things that matter the most to ordinary citizens.

The point when ever an ethiopian suggest an idea,creativity should be encouraged and tried.

We should be proud of our own ideas,creativity to do TV SHOWS,MOVIES,RADIO PROGRAMS,CRICILLUM IN SCHOOLS,ART,MUSIC based on our own original ideas.

We should not wait to copy other countries ideas such as american idel,that could have being any ethiopian idea.

FREE [MEMBER]

To the most part most african leaders,citizens including us ethiopians too never learn from the past to improve the present.

I am not sure if you remember when nazret.com posted an ariticle about the completion of African union building.To the most part i was the only one who was not too too proud about for various reasons.

Africa as a state is one of the most reachest countries in the world and the most poorest continent in the world do to BASTARDS,EVIL LEADERS.

These over 50 africa countries including ethiopia could have each contributed about 5 million dollars and materials sent from all african countries to completed our own AFRICA UNION building.But that never happened.

Can you imagine how wonderful & historical it would have being if each african country send material from thier countries to complete the AU BUILDING as well as money from each africa countries?

This act its self would have showed the entier new generations of africans to come together not only to complete a building but to fight colonialists,poverty and outside foreign pressure.

The lack of creativity,visions can be sieng all over africa.

For a case study lets look nigeria one of the most oil rich country in the world.And one dont have to be a monkey not to analyze the level of poverty ,corruption in nigeria .

Even the arabs mainly saudi arabia had done a tremendous job developing thier country and created prosperous lifes not only thier own citizens but as well as other foreigners.

Many ethiopians are smart,but lack creativity and are afraid to re- do things differently.

We should embrace education,science,creativity,and technology while preserving our beautiful ancient culture,Ancient traditions,Ancient religous.

Simple ideas change the world such as the internet,cars,airplanes,tv,radio etc etc that once were thought to be impossible by lazy uncreative bastard envious people.

to be continued---

How about touring with USA and Eroupe with the national jersay...just like book tour.. Just like book they can sign the jersay personally and taken photo..

While at it design shop and cloth too,,, why stop their how about 2013 calendar.... That also bought online post card and digital calendar each month for each player pluse two 13 month of sunshine.

Those kids are a gold mine for all kind of Ethiopia local business community....there are only 21 day of sure money making opportunity... Any major local new business could be a house hold name if they use them now... There are car company.... Sugar company cement company etc etc u might think u don't need advertisement but look Ambassaders cloth co. and access bank they keep on advertise because the return what u put in.. Even coke cola advertise

I want those kids to make million... Mr.Lasta said it is big money because they live in Ethiopia. Even in Ethiopia 100,000 doesn't go far people talk in million birr..

I want the federation should promise them million birr each if they pass the first group..

The funy thing is even the gestation doesn't want to give 100,000 birr so they have to promise how much in advance.. Otherwise they will play The poor card...

The player has to boycot the training to get their money so do we know they will not short change them... I say regarded less the kid must get another 100,000 birr after the comeback from S.A just for showing up in S.A... Because they did make us proud regardless.

Another point I want try to make is to those who play the poor card... Check how much musican get paid for one DVD? We have rmy of musicans but we have only 11 national team player at time.. For 80 million people so cough up..

I heard the motivation of our player to turn pro and make $250,000 dollars per years..I point is we lose them again then what is the point this is become like old time sport for passport.

So I am thinking who we can make the stay and still pay them $250,000 dollars or even much better.

The simplest way is to give them land just we give to Indian and the Arabs... U might say the Indian invest billion dollars..if we give our sport men and they will find inveter be it local or foreign to make business.

I always wonder Haile Gebrselassie. Doesn't invest adidas to make shoes in Ethiopia after all he know the mover and shaker in that industry... To sweeting the deal Ethiopia government can give free land, electricity, tax free just for coming at least if we cover African market that would be a start.

agazit, why don't you lecture to your agazi colleagues who are in power, illiterate generals, illiterate ministers, as meles said once loyalty comes first before knowledge, he got rid of all capable individuals surrounded himself with weak ones thinking he would live forever.

Great to see that players are rewarded for their efforts. But, I have a problem with the tier amount payment system ...

All of the players, whether forward, defence, goalie, bencher or coach have worked hard and must have been rewarded with the same amount of money.

How can you allow bonus based on who scored goals? The goal scorer did not play by himself. He was part of the team. As a team, they scored the goals.

If a player is a defenceman or a goalie, the probability or scoring goals is very slim; but better chance for right and left wingers; yet best chance for a striker or centre forward player. So, ALL players regardless of who scored the goal must g=have received the same amount.

If the sport was in individual based sports like athletics, boxing, bicycling, weight lifting, judo, then individual efforts must be acknowledged.

But, it is sad to see that the coach got a $288,000 Birr new car, but actual players got as low as $50,000 Birr. A team is a team. A team wins or loses together.

Oy vey, such crazy things happen only in Ethiopia!

Mr William ,in a country where the youth are chosing Exile as a Living Standard can not be categorised as a place where there is optimism and determination to build a better tomorrow . Your so called Football Team Success Story relies only on the good work of the Coach as during the 80th Victories of the late Athletic Team was the Hard Work of the then Coach Neguse Roba .

@ TEDDY [Visitor]

I thought you already joined the G-7 movement some where in Eastern Sudan Or Southern Eritrea ? You still here in Nazret ? shame on you an activist like you the talk, talk is over ! go and join your uncle brehanu nega .....

Agazit,
You speak about a Black Jesus, how do you know he was black. Whites also think that Jesus was white.
The answer is that the Spirit does not have any color.
When you die assuming you go to Heaven and you find it it is full of Amaras instead of Tegaru what are you going to do??
Repent and stop being a Racist.
I will pray for you.
Amen.

Ethiopia defeats Niger 1-0 in soccer friendly


The Ethiopian national soccer team “Walias Antelopes” defeated its Niger counterpart 1-0 here today in a soccer friendly match.

Getaneh Kebede of Dedebit FC scored Ethiopia’s lone goal 38′ into the first half.

The Walias dominated the match and had several scoring chances but lacked the finishing touches. The team definitely missed the services of ace strikers Saladin Said and Adane Girma. Saladin is presently on a pre-season tour in Belgium with his Egyptian side Wadi Degla FC. Adane Girma is nursing an injury.

Meanwhile the Ethiopia vs Guinea friendly match, which was scheduled to take place here on Thursday, was canceled following a schedule dispute. The Guinean FA asked for the match to be moved to Friday, but the Ethiopian Football Federation (EFF) refused as the team is schedule to fly to Qatar to face Tunisia on Saturday.

Gebrewettu ,you Thuggy guys have no legitimacy of giving a lesson of Patriotism to any of us .If you are really happy of your dear Agazi Bandit Bros ,Time to join them than barking days and nights on this website .For your Information ,during the early 80th until the 90th the then Derg Junta did dispised any information describing rebels attacks on Assab Road where many trucks and lorries had been burnt ,and rebel attacks widening whether in Tigrai and Gondar ,and you know what had been the Final Results specially on May 1991...LOL !!!So what would be soon the fate of your Agazi bandits and Tigre Mafiosis .

Dear Goorsha,

I know u R still in mengistu haile mariam time. Where every one paid equal.
