Ethiopia - 16yr Old Abdus Ibrahim signs with Toronto FC for $103,000 in Salary

Ethiopia born, 16 year old Abdus Ibrahim, has been traded to Toronto FC from Dallas FC, for a reported salary of $103,000, according to the Toronto Star.

Last year FC Dallas selected Ibrahim, then just 15, in the second round of the MLS Superdraft. The paper said although Abdus is too young to drive on Canadian highways by himself or to buy alcohol, his head coach does not think, the 16-year-old striker is too young to fit in to the team's plans.

that’s what’s u my brother! that's what's up!!! yes he is Oromo and he is proud of it too!! he comes from the greatest blood line the OROMO and there is nothing you can do but but hate... you have always hated and you will keep on doing it for the rest of your life’s... with out the Oromo the so called ethiopian name will not have been called on the international games but you guys never admitted that and they will never. its a matter of time before all this will end, i promise you!
my OROMO people keep on showing what you are made off and the enemies will keep on hating and then finally realize that they were just full of sh*** all this time.

Calm Down

This guy refused to play for an ethiopian team in Minnesota and played for an "Oromia" team. I dont have a problem with people that are for a separate oromia but we should recognize this. Some of you illiterates have been writing insults but if a guy is Oromo liberation front connected then we must respect that. Im not going to pretend he likes ethiopia. In fact, I dont see to many oromos in ethiopia functions. This just makes things much more complicated and difficult.

Thanks Arsi, youve proven me right. If you want to secede. GO ahead but we get addis...ahm Finfine. :>>

Hurry, Ibrahim,
You are hope and a role model for for those kids who were born and raised here and show these moron hate mongers like SMITH that despite your ethnicity and religion, you are good enough to play in major league soccer.by the way, the old giorgis days are over.The old naftagna Ethiopia is burried for good. Never again to the old dark days.

one more thing moron Smith!
your judgment about what you don't want Ibrahim to be, based on his unwillingness to play for your version of Ethiopian team is absurd.The yearly gathering of your Ethiopian soccer event is an Amhara dominated (your grandfathers kind of Ethiopia) gathering to celabrate your culture.Allow me to teach you, Ethiopia is and will always be multi-ethnic country, therefore it is natural to join and celebarate.

Comment from: Zacharias [Visitor]

It is true that these days most Oromos are not considering themselves as Ethiopians. This particular athlete, soccer player, is really a good player and very polite and easily appoachable. However, when I personally asked him to play or an Ethiopian team, Nyala, in two different occasions even by offering him $3,000 he repeatdly refused stating that he will prefer to die than to play for any Habasha team. At one momemt I saw him playing for Eritrian team for free. All I can say is that most Oromos, even those not affiiated with OLF, have no feeling about Ethiopianism at all. We just have to respect his belief and wish him good luck. I don't think we can cnvince someone to accept Ethiopianism by force any more.

Thanks

Adam Smith (eritrean agent)

You are traying to put fire among Ethiopians and Oromo community in America.It feil and useless.

Most Oromo disporas are not even politicians and they never even know what politics is.

What this hate mongers know is that who to make forged identity.

Fake diploma and forged degre.

False asylem cases and all ther busness is besed on lei and mischifs.

FAKE BIRTHDAY

FAKE NAME (IF ther name is Alemu Alemyeo Girma they translet it to Oromigna Ararso Aba Bulgo etc)

Fake ethinc identity (Most of them they are just ordinery Ethiopian like any of us on nazret.com but they pretend as true "Oromo nastionalists)

Fake family history. calling ther sisters my wife.and saying ther neigbours are family becos of busness.

Long live Ethiopia

Down with Eritrean agent Adam Smith,who tray hard to be Ethiopian and put fire among us and our Oromo brasers.
