You should be ashamed of yourselves for illegally using this name, when you have nothing to do with the name. You know hundreds of Oromo paid a heavy price for this cause. Why did you want to take credit for something that you did not do ? credit should go where it’s due. I just wanted to cry when I saw the letter form the founder of Seif. If you are sincere, why not give yourself a name and do whatever you want to do ? why snatch a name that someone build with sweat and blood ? build your own name do’t steal. Or may be you have another agenda ?

Are we Oromo specially the Diaspora think in rational mind and speak the truth? When do we stop believing in person like cult than his deeds? When do we stop standing by philosophy of “river hood” , “village hood “than Oromummaa and one nation, under God undivided.
I don’t get it why some people are so nervous and furious about this young guy who did his part when we bunch of Diaspora Oromo have shut our mouth and have done nothing to be voice for voiceless , have been silent and lack of professional journalists for the last many years.
As the matter of fact, speaking of patent, can be claimed back to the original siefe Nebelbal founder when Israel Sabboqqa invited to as journalist, later in the process of transaction he claimed owner ship. I am not happy to put every thing for public to create havoc among Oromo, where the Diasporas Oromo are already disfranchised by unabated breed of factions to this minute. It’s just like adding salt on already necrotic wound.
When a person cannot think in rational mind and bases their reason on personal ego, they are blind for every thing, and they are blind to see the big picture. They only see and fit to individual’s ego or interest that fit their ranting per se,
Therefore, I am very much appalled and disgusted by some of the “Oromo’s” who accusing this innocent for no reason, when “seifa nebelbal owner” is no longer the owner when he actually sold the owner ship to Abyssinians in cash. Where is his moral integrity in here, you tell me about that who huffing and buffing about issue with out no clue.
As the matter of fact, I am not a village or river boy, I despised those who flow with it, I disgusted those who stand for it, I am an Oromo son, I stand for my people, my people that includes eyob and Israel, however, when some one try to do something for his nation, we accustomed of automatically come up with counter productive. I have no any acquaintance of eyob but encouraged by his courage job

continued…I see moral ground on his part, imagine I my self been in Diaspora for decade but have done nothing close to what he has done, this guy, who is just new and fresh immigrant, who is not even settled for his life yet but still has good heart for his people, he should not vilified for good cause he stand. He did not even wait for his comfort time, he did not waste his time and counting of years in Diaspora, he took on himself and started to do discharge his duty to the best of his knowledge to serve his nation, Oromo. Utterly and defaming his good deed as some one is trying to make money out of this, is thoroughly a nonsense to say least.
I do not see any crime of this poor journalist , other than serving his nation, I do not see any crime when he can not do it by himself , he called on fellow Oromo for help, tell me what is the crime he committed.
Something is apparent, you my fellow Oromo, we are at lowest of low point, if anything that is equivalent of Armenian people, now nation less, country less, we the Oromo people are too in line for that, we are the people born to destroy each other than destroy our enemy. This can only stop when people think rationally than thinking in cult ideology.
Dear Israel sabboqaa and Eyyoob,Baayyisaa, you two knew very well the inside of “seife nebelbal” than any of us who commenting here, if you two can talk and share ideas and ways to be voice for voiceless, I will call upon your high consciousness than little feuds, hence, it’s so incumbents on both of you to find common solution than opening between us another venue of division which we are already divided and victimized by it, this time, we can not afford for another round of sinister division, therefore, time and again, I call upon your high consciousness and moral authority to resolve this issue.
Many thanks

We are all happy with what Eyob is doing, but he needs to play the card safe. We all fled our fatherland because of persecution. We can not continue to repress the rights of individuals even in exile. Just because we are in Diaspora doesn’t mean we are not governed by rule of law. We need to learn how to deal with each other as OROMO. Understanding the basic rights of human being is media 101. Eyob seems a very talented guy, he can easily build his own brand. Why on earth would he tarnish his name by stealing a legally registered name? The founder of Seifenebelbal, Israel Soboqa fled his beloved country because he could not operate in the country, he was imprisoned, tortured and threatened to death. Now how does he feel if a fellow Oromo just take over the name he has built for years ? Yes we are in Diaspora, does that wash away our Oromoness ? does that make us anarchistic ? Eyob said Seifenebelbal is registered in Ethiopia not in America, if he comes to America and snatch the name from a persecuted guy, how is he different from Wayyaanee ? Both Eyob and Woyane victimized Israel.

Oromo sitti hin fakkaatin. Aadaa wal kabajuu fi seeraan waliin buluu amma yoo hin barin yoo biyya qabaanne illee dhibdee guddaa nutti tahuuf deema baraa.

Waan gaarii hojjataa jira jennee har’a yoo itti dhiifne, bor ka biraatu as baha, hin tahu hin se’in. It’s monkey see monkey do” dha dubbichi. We should not tolerate these acts no matter what, no matter who, that should be our motto and principle- if we really want to build free and fair Oromia that is. Waa hunda walduukaa deemsisuu ni dandeenya of keessattis waan daba hojjetamu dura dhaabbachaa diina keenyas loluu ni dandeenya.

Mr. Guest
You proved my point, in that, the effort to cripple some individual Oromo’s effort to make a difference is an extension of the usual in-fight between the so called ‘OLF’ factions. In this case, perhaps, b/n the QC and SG faction. No body is realizing the fact that this fighting tantamount to the fight between two bold men over the Comb. As usual, this innocent young man in particular, and the people’s cause in general is the victim. As the Habasha saying goes “Yeetim ficiw, duqeetun amciiw”, what matters is the result which none has anything to show off whatsoever. The only result they can brag about is perhaps destroying each other, but none of them have that courage to face their real enemy though.
