Top 10 Advices for the 2004 Annual Oromo Convention Attendees

 

10. Gadaa.com promises to keep you updated about the Convention throughout the Month of July.

Advice: Tell Your Friends about Gadaa.com!

9. Even though the 4WD is rented, have mercy on the gas pedal since the tank is filled with gas purchased with your own money.

Advice: Travel Safely. Buckle Up!

8. Party till it's 8 in the morning drinking soda.

Advice: Stay Sober; Drive Sober. 

7. Dance to the music of Oromia: south, west, north or east. Are you one of those people who sit out other rhythms and dance only to their own region's?

Advice: Dance to All Rhythms of Oromia. Show Some Love!

6. Atlanta is said to be a great city with international fame. Atlanta was the home of the 1996 Olympics; it's also the unofficial capital city of the Southeast.

Advice: Venture out to Explore the Cultures of Others; Invite Others into Yours. Think Outside of the Box!

5. A united Oromo voice is important to solve most of the problems of the Horn of Africa. However hard it may seem sometimes to find a common ground, finding one is only possible when people are positive-minded. 

Advice: Stay United; Be Positive-Minded.

4. For the young, the soccer is the reason for attending the Convention; for the family-oriented, the Convention brings a sense of 'home away from home'; for the politician, the Convention is a great opportunity to discuss matters with their constituencies; for the historian, the Convention is a venue to uncover the hidden history of the Oromo people; for some others, the Convention is an expression of freedom of speech of the Oromo Diaspora; still for others ...

Advice: Whatever the Reason, Make the Best out of the Convention.

3. Attending the Convention is great; reliving the other 51 weeks of the year with the spirits of the Convention is priceless.

Advice: When You Go Back Home After the Convention, Continue to Stay United and Be Positive-Minded.

2. Was it mentioned that Gadaa.com would be here to stay?

Advice: Gadaa.com Is Proud to Be Your Source of Info for the 2004 Annual Oromo Convention; Visit Gadaa.com After the Convention, too. 

1. The Number One is not an advice, but a dream, a wish or a prayer (however you see it fit).

Prayer: MAY WAAQA/ALLAH/GOD HELP THE OROMO PEOPLE HOLD THE 2005 CONVENTION IN OROMIA.

 

CAUTION: The "Top 10 Advices" section is solely for educational purposes. Any attempt to classify the material as anything but that is baseless.
