Comments on: Ethiopia: Teddy Afro gets a 6-year jail sentence http://www.ethiopianreview.com/content/13309 Ethiopian News and Opinion Journal Fri, 10 Feb 2012 20:45:05 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: ethiomind http://www.ethiopianreview.com/content/13309/comment-page-1#comment-80798 ethiomind Mon, 08 Dec 2008 22:23:30 +0000 http://www.ethiopianreview.com/news/?p=4319#comment-80798 wow wow wow! it is so amazing to me how we Ethiopian are so far away from reality. let’s try to separate the facts from myths… First, Teddy is a great artist who transformed/contributed to the music industry a great deal. in return he made a fortune and a name for himself. - I ain’t mad at him! good job. but that is that! Second teddy was imprisoned on the terms of hit-and-run allegedly killing another ‘helpless’ human being. Now if his witness and reasoning has proven to be correct he will be released if not he ought to legally responsible to the man he performed vehicular homicide. Now, if we choose bypass the fact that he killed someone on the mere alignment of him as a role model is totally senseless. We should be asking our conscious what exactly makes a role model… because someone is able to stir our dull emotion with beats and words and phrases … we just don’t claim that person to be a hero hence to give him a refugee from all responsibilities… I personally don’t think teddy’s rubbing off with the government has caused his incarceration. if teddy is in the truth side, believe you me! the truth shall set him free. else he has to be responsible. on a slight different note, how come we Ethiopians are so angry about Teddy’s situation but NOT mad at our current naked impoverished state of existence? it is amazing to me how we can be so complacent about the ever beggar, hunger stricken way of life of millions in our nation? but, teddy’s imprisonment is such a shocking life impact moment of truth! ( PLEASE!) that is our hypocrisy! How I wish if we have a tiny bit of zeal to be a part of the development of this nation? how I wish we have a deep sense of shame on the state of existence our citizens has to live every day? well we choose the easy way out, which doesn’t require any action at all! we blame the government! how I wish we wake up and honestly challenge ourselves beyond the shallow “my way or the highway” arrogant attitude that shadows our logical reasoning? HOW I WISH WE HAVE HALF THE COURAGE WE ARE SHOWING FOR TEDDY’S CAUSE TO THE MILLION’S WAY OF SURVIVAL IN THAT BARREN LAND OF OURS! HOW I WISH! wow wow wow! it is so amazing to me how we Ethiopian are so far away from reality. let’s try to separate the facts from myths…
