As they say: "If you don't stand for something, you will fall for anything." As a Nigerian born individual, I solute Ethiopians for their vigilant gate keeping effort towards protecting their people, culture, beliefs, and their way of life!!!
Please uniquely do your thing alone, please don’t invite Nigerian musicians, invite those your people will accept, there are other musicians in eastern part of Africa , remember that money you paid Rema is not refundable, Nigeria do business for money, so we don’t care if he played for you people. He has so many countries praying for Rema to come to their country. We no need Ethiopia but the money.
@@emmalineandbrian1202 You are talking like you are hurt. Ethiopians have a belief which they give high value then some damn paper . Let him take the money , we don't care and never cared .
@@Axiom61 you are the one hurt because I don’t know how Rema wears should be your problems, with your fake beliefs, you have been fighting war with your neighbors for several years, why can’t your beliefs stopped you from fighting war, it’s what Rema is wearing is your problem, Nigerians students free war in Sudan and you blocked your boarders and prevented them passage, yet you talk about religion and beliefs.
We are behind and with U IN THIS. Nigerians don't also joke with our creator, the God of this Universe . Satan's case has been settled centuries ago, and anyone with dining with the devil has already taken the side and position of a LOSER. WHY? Because every every here is TEMPORAL. Here today, Gone Tomorrow.
As a Nigerian I completely agree with my Ethiopian brothers and Sisters,let all the lovers of Satan,his agents and activities be cancelled from our Societies,school,towns
You not all okay speak for yourself alone not everyone else please stop casting nigeria while the rest country was trying to protect and cover all their shits peace ✌ ❤
Ethiopia is among the most spiritual geographical location in the world. It has a rich religious history and it is very sensitive to slot of things liberal people ignore. I think the Ethiopian people are right.
@@heisnahomAre u being serious? Where was Queen of Sheba grave ? Not in nigeria lol 😂😂 see guys need to stop beating around the bush them this ones no luv nigerians abeg , Nowadays people re still fighting over religion in the name of necklaces lol 😂😂😂😂 how about cross ✝️ ??

@@kikisyzuki Is it to portray, your act is what shows your behavior not what you wear, Ethiopian claim to be religious, but when the Nigerian students in Sudan were caught in a war, and ran to Ethiopia they closed the borders against Nigerians, so does your religion not teach you to help strangers in need, my religion tells me to open my door, give them food and roof over their head, Ethiopia claims to be religious.
I am an East Afrikan and to say the truth I stand with Ethiopians. You want to perform then respect our religious values and customs period! No one is jealous of Nigerians artists at all.
No one is talking about jealousy. However, Rema didn’t disrespect Ethiopians, his chain portrait didn’t go down with them or their beliefs. Religion is a big thing for Ethiopians so it’s best they cancel the show. So stop twisting it. However, it won’t change what Rema believes too.
How do you know Ethiopians, what faith and religion are they talking about, I live with them in America, I know them for their hypocrisy, The Ethiopia that close their borders against Nigerian students fleeing war in Sudan, the same people are talking about religion, my religion teaches me that when a stranger is running away from trouble and come to your house, please open the door, serve them food and shelter, are you talking about the same Ethiopia that has been fighting war with his neighbor for many years, killing thousands of people. Abeg if it’s Ethiopian kind of religion let me stay like that. You are allowing devil to use religion deceive you. Please tell your religious Ethiopians that there are so many musicians in East Africa, let them use them.
@@happinessglory8956Ethiopia has had religion for a long time and the culture is intertwined with religion. You disrespect the religion then you disrespect Ethiopians
@@StopTheLiess Dey play, I think you dey day dream. I don’t know if you were sleeping during the Sudan war. It was all over the news in Europe, Ethiopia government close borders against Nigerian students fleeing the war into Ethiopia.
I dont know why this Nigerian promoter thinks Ethiopians hate Nigerians. I am Ethiopian and I never met anyone who hate Nigeria. Ethiopians love Nigerians because of the soccer team and artists. The discussion should be about the inverted cross and Church. Just as you cant go to Saudi Arabia with inverted mosque symbol in your t-shirt the same is true in Ethiopia!
That's why Ethiopia and Ethiopians are unique . Big respect for Ethiopians. They don't give a s**t wether you're famous or popular . It is what it is !!! And Israel is already cancel his concert too.
My brother, everyone in this world must not accept you, you the African hypocrite, Some American musicians openly confess of worshipping devil, but Africans will accept and vibe to their music and even invite them to their country, but because it’s an African person now, it’s a problem, no wonder they say a prophet is not known in his country or continent. Rema never openly told you he was burning a church.
You don't have a clue what's going on. Both countries you mentioned are part of a conspiracy. There is "a energy" they are preventing to come into their land. Do you think the current wave of Afrobeat across the world is ordinary? What both countries are hiding will see the light.
Well your very own Ethiopian musician called “The Weekend” worships satan and throws satanic symbols all the time. I hope you all bring light to the wrong doings of your fellow Ethiopian and ensure he doesn’t perform in your country either! He is far from conservative.
It's the unity of orthodox Christians that highlighted this from the 1st day the concert was announced. Rema is talented, no doubt, but if u belong to the underworld, you got no place in Ethiopia. Straight up. Ethiopians now know all the subliminal messages in y'all arts. You do you over there. We do us. Respect the country's value and no joke over religion.
What Rema did was wrong. If Nigerians doesn't respect their religions ,they should know that other countries don't joke with their owns. Rema and his management has to come out to apologize. Orthodox is no pentecostal people and they doesn't joke around with their religion . This is not about Afrobeat Nigeria. Im a Nigerian and i have to say the truth.
@@JamieKelly-qs1ctguess ure confused , he can make or buy his necklace in heaven or hell, they said they don't like it. Plz what is the meaning of a necklace with a burning church upside down? Is it fashion...
The Nigerian promoter is missing the point of the discussion. The bottom line is you have to respect the religion and the culture of the people of the country where you are going. It doesn't matter who you are and what you do for living. Proud of the Ethiopian Orthodox church leaders and the respond from the public.
You can’t say he doesn’t know what he’s doing? He’s an adult if he wears a necklace that portrays a certain negative point then he’s aware of what he’s doing
I struggled to understand Soso because he is not making sense, and most probably, he doesn't understand the lady or the perspective of the Ethiopians. Let us stop playing ignorance.
Happy to be ETHIOPIAN I am really proud we don’t have place for those who don’t have respect for our religion,culture and identity so when you think to come the holly land think twice 😊
@@sentientbeingsnews1098😭 search history we have a history longer than Arab. Don’t confuse yourself, he can be King in Nigeria and Benin or in the world but nothing above God so we have no union with his enemy or some one who disrespected God because he is forgiving and loving
This is not about Ethiopia, Nigeria or the rest of Africa this show cancelled because of the body of christ. Someone calling him self a Christian and wearing this kind of chain if the person believes it's ok and a country is not ok with it just respect it but to say he may not know what he wears in the name of fashion it's unbelievable. Please, with due respect Soso, try to make sense with your comments next time, Rema, is a young talented guy with alot of bright future, big artists the same time, remember like according to your word he is big for Ethiopia but remember he can't be bigger than the Almighty God we are talking about a church been upside down, and burning for any human being called him self or herself a Christian how in the world is this ok?
Ethiopian here we don’t have a problem with who you are or where you’re from but if you or your work doesn’t respect our religion or our culture don’t come it’s simple
Who doesn't know upside cross is Sat a nic. The guy who came to the platform lying in bed presenting in a white vest is very shody looking. He should feel shame of himself 👏🏼 👏🏼 👏🏼 👏🏼 👏🏼 Well done Ethopians. God is watching 👀 🙏🏽 🙌🏽
I'm so proud of Ethiopia. A lot of African artists have joined the illuminati. Look at the symbols they throw/show. We cant assume Rema didn't know the meaning of the jewelry.
Even though I'm not part of that nonsense, who are we to judge? The same Ethiopia that stole more than 60k dollars from a Nigerian Igbo businessman who was based in Dubai on his way to Nigeria, you are here feeling happy for their ungodly behaviours. This nonsense
He does, he is a smart guy, some of his problem is some of the promotional articles written about him-they know he is a church boy and for him to turn and wear upside down church burning with a cross upside down is a no no,meaning they can forgive who is not in the know but not this turn coat.
That is why I am not a fan of any celebrity. I do not trust anyone I mean any musician form nigeria not even one as a nigerian am not a fan of any of them. Illuminati every where. Thank you Ethiopia 🇪🇹
The two guys haven't got a clue..the lady is trying to explain to them the values of a conservative society but they are not getting it. Let him say something about Islam and see what people will do to him.
Ethiopia does not welcome devil worshippers period! You can’t have an upside down burning church and cross & preach about Karishika & expect to be welcome in Ethiopia. We don’t play that nonsense! We love & respect everyone but don’t cross the line when it comes to disrespecting churches or Mosques, Christianity or Islam NOT ON ETHIOPIAN SOIL when it comes to that we are always a united voice. Proud of my people 🇪🇹💚💛❤️ Respect ☦️⛪️✝️🔔🕌☪️
The Ethiopia in the bible is not the same as this moden Ethiopia. Don't be fooled. Yes, they bought into the christianity thing. There is also some explanation they need to do. How did the name of a Yoruba individual showed up on the modern Ethiopia King's List? The "Ethiopia" kingdom in the Bible was in West Africa, and it's the reason the Atlantic Ocean was named Ethiopic Ocean. And somewhere in Nigeria is a tomb some believe is the burial site of so-called Queen of Sheba. There is a reason they say modern Ethiopia is home of humanity. Because the place need to be close to the lies they created in middle-east. But sadly, almost all the world is fooled. The truth will see the day.
@@ADE-of-LAGOS Ethiopia is the same Ethiopia. Yes Ethiopia was a very large and powerful country, what the western colonizers renamed "africa" was Ethiopia, Ethiopia will become an extremely powerful great nation again by the will of the Most High the King of King's Selassie.
@@ADE-of-LAGOS We Ethiopians did not "buy into the Christianity thing" as you put it. Ethiopia knew and worshipped the Most Hight the King of King's Selassie even before Eyesus Meih the Son of Virgin Marry was born. Ethiopia is also the first country on earth to accept Eyesus Mesih 2021 years ago. The grand parents of Eyesus Mesih Kidus Eyakem and Kidist Hanna are Ethiopin therefore Virgin Marry is an Ethiopian.
Orthodox are very very powerful not only in Ethiopia. I lived in Cyprus, Russia, and Greece just to mention a few and these countries are always at least 85% Orthodox. The Orthodox churches have lots of power in these respective nations. But these nations Orthodox churches began to loose their power because they joined the European Union, they adopted new rules and laws that their government can't afford to under-look It Nor to change it But Ethiopia is not under anysuppressive or oppressive law. 🎉🎉🎉 So they'll follow the church.
I think the overarching issue here is that artists must understand the history and culture of the land they are going to visit. Those factors simply control, to a great degree, the ability to practice proper protocol. It’s even written in scripture that all things are lawful but not expedient/beneficial, and if it causes others to stumble don’t do IT. As an artist myself I believe we all have a great responsibility regarding the statements we make socially, publicly, artistically and certainly where fashion is concerned. These statements can make or break our dealings with and or influence over a particular people group.
REMA should know better. Let him swap the church for a mosque and see whether he’ll be able to withstand the heat. Davido’s mosque video is nothing compare to this.
You can’t compare what he did with the burning of the Quran yet most non Muslims said it’s freedom of speech to burn the Quran. Burning of the Quran is worse than what he did !
There is nothing like jealousy there. I am a Nigerian and I can say that Ethiopia will be paying Rema to do his show there, so there is nothing to be jealous about. Rema is not blind, he saw the chain before he wore it, so he should be responsible for his stupidity. Africa is not America, so don't come on air telling us to accept trash because some people do so in America. That fat dark guy was pretty much out of place, period!
Thank you Ethiopians for standing your ground with your beautiful religious family life. All these musicians who think they can curse and abuse God because of jay-z and Beyoncé. Why does he “Rema” have to wear a cross upside down, with a burning church? Please keep Holy Cross of Jesus Christ out of your uselessness. You people keep giving excuses for foolishness. Can’t he just wear ordinary chain…..? Must it be a Cross of Jesus Christ. Let’s speak the truth always. FOOLS!!!!!
Being humble, innocent looking, and talented doesn't roll away the fact that he could be an illuminati. Ethiopians have what they stand for. Once they notice anything or anyone going against their values, they will drastically respond to protect their patrimoine. Love it or hate it, that's the way they function. It's unfortunate for Rhema, who should henceforth know how to choose items to buy, for those who think it's just a necklace.
Religion has not done no harm to Africa, in this unholy times we live I honestly appreciate countries like Ethiopia that don’t entertain anything deemed unholy or disrespectful to their believes, honestly think Rema as an artist knows exactly what inspired that upside down necklace and if you ask me, it’s a mockery to Chist, because Jesus describes church as his bride, it’s way to common that all these circular artist choose to share the same artistry preference by promoting anti-Christ symbols in their music or fashion.
It's because most Christians don't even respect Christianity, we should try to respect our religion, the church is the body of our lord Jesus Christ. Let's show respect, we should not be violent about it. But let's be respectful.
It’s because most doctrine and rituals which include good Friday and Christmas were not what Yeshua (Jesus) observed. These are all doctrines and cultures made up by different Christians denominations hence none of these denominations can accuse either other of teaching new doctrine compared to what Yeshua (Jesus) taught. How can Christians defend Christianity as the Muslims does for Islam when 95% of Christians didn’t know Jesus real name.
B/c Christianity is moked 100% on the so called cristian countries by people who called them selfs christians but in Ethiopia if anyone want to mock our religion you are as good as dead
This is not a case of Nigeria and Ethiopia hating themselves... this is the case of The Kingdom of God and The Kingdom of Darkness Soso is trying to change the narratives....We Nigerians stand for Jesus Christ 🙌 ❤We love Ethiopia X Ethiopians ❤ Daddy Freeze i believe you are not a hypocrite and claim you don't know about What that Necklace represents...
They are intentional about what they do' but they are one of the poorest in the world and their sorcery is second to none! Trust me dear, they are hypocrites!
@@preciousidogah4852trust me you are the one whose hypocrite, cause there is no measurement that you take to say we are the poorest rather you just say that cause that what they(the hypocrites) told you to say ,trust me on that! Matter fact come and visit Ethiopia and be our Guest(Lovable way)
@tilly9169 She democratically said her mind Didn't you see that even the Ethiopian lady says that her country is very religious and conservative....Respect others religion and culture.
Respect to that lady.....she was more accurate than Daddy and Soso joined together......at first daddy freeze was on point not until that Soso man came in and started blabing some unintelligent craps or excuses.
Daddy Freeze you guys are missing the point the lady is making. Instead of defending Rema because you think you know him enough, tell his PR team to make a statement. You might think it's just Ethiopia but you never know where it could lead to. You can't put the symbol of a burning mosque up side down and pretend you don't know what it means. Of all the pendants in this world he can think of he choses an up side down burning Church and fanning ignorance.... please!!
I am Nigerian 🇳🇬..and what the Ethiopians are saying is true. Fresh should not pretend as though he doesn't know those signs. I love Ethiopia ❤🎉.. They want only godly stuffs in their country. Big up Ethiopians.. I'll love to visit Ethiopia just for this alone
Daddy freeze ur becoming a suspect, u who stand on the word how can u say wearing an upside down cross, Church, with a burning roof, and horns there's nothing wrong with it ?? Are u ok?? Or is it because he is a Nigerian.? There's no mistake here, it's all intentional.
This is not unintentional, he has rehearsed this performance and he knows what those signs mean.....there are no coincidences in this life. Music is full of symbolism and we have to understand the impact of symbolism....his masters issued that command to him
Is this Illuminati or it's blown out of proportion. Ethiopia is religious country. Suppose you go Muslim country and turn their Koran upside, they'd ban him. This lady is conscious so she's saying things as it stands in Ethiopia , best thing is to cancel.
We, Ethiopians put our religion on the top of every list in our lives. Anything that contradicts with it is not welcome no matter who or what it is. I hope every christian or musim should take the same measures.
Please don’t invite Nigerian musicians to your country, do your concert alone, our artists never said that he was burning a church, why are you in other peoples country, stay in Ethiopia and do your thing alone. Rema was invited by your people. Rema is welcome all over the world’ now you Ethiopians said he is not welcome in Ethiopia, he will never waste his time coming there. The Nigerian students that was running from the war in Sudan to Ethiopia you people stop them entry, were they also burning church. Hater’s.
@@emmalineandbrian1202we all ways been alone and will do so not cause u said and he is not the first Nigerian to perform in Ethiopia and he will not be the last to get cancelled not just him we dont care if you is drake or the weeknd or any great artist if u cross the line ur going to get dealt with. (peaceful)
@@kirubeltamene2302 if you always be alone you should not have invited Rema in the first place, Nigeria doesn’t care about Ethiopians we are business people, we only come there because you see our musicians better than your musicians, so please do your concert only we don’t care, our musicians sing round the world, Ethiopia only will not make any difference to Nigeria. You said you are alone, who told you that , go to America where they have headquarters of church of satan Ethiopia is living there, why don’t Ethiopians pack their bags and leave, because of your religion. Who is Ethiopians to cancel someone, Nigerians students flee from Sudan to Ethiopia because of war, you people block your borders and prevented them entry is that what your religion told you to do, my religion told me to give help to strangers, open your roof, and give them food, Ethiopia wants to cancel someone, please cancel yourself first. Mumu people.
@@emmalineandbrian1202He is from Benin, when did he became Nigerian? Ethiopian did not invited him the promoter does so don’t force us to respect him or welcome him since he is disrespectful for Almighty God and his audience , you can be also one of his member but your life is your choice.
@@tsionawitdaniel7083 who cares about your respect, who talked about respecting him, promoter from Benin or not you Ethiopians invented him he won’t come there. They paid him from your money, which is not refundable, your money is gone. You want to show you people are religious, when you people are hypocritical. You can’t help your neighbors and you say you are religious. You sit in your Ethiopia and conclude he is disrespecting God, how many times have you disrespected God, who are you to judge someone, little Pharisees.
That is a damn right, girl you getting it because you are also Ethiopian. No matter what it is, he should not have done those things, there is always repercussions of things u have done.
Rena has souled his soul to the devil. Ethiopia is not Nigeria that allow all the rubbish. Good they cancelled the show. This is coming from a fellow Nigerian
As a Nigerian...I'm so ashamed of that fella..trying to justify rema's shenanigans😥.the main crux of the matter was not about hatred against Nigerian artist and their success but specifically about rema apparently disrespecting a major world Religion
And pls dnt tell me he wasn't aware of the implications of what the pendant meant... let's not involve try to delve further into what some of this artist do for fame and fortune....👊to Ethiopians...my respect for you guys just gone up 1 million bars higher....
Guys I don't think it s about being nigerian in this case. It is about being culturally aware. You don't wear a mini skirt in Saudi if you know that it is perceived as offensive. Remas team should have told him, informed him about his dress code limitations due to regional specificities. Let's remember that rema is young and he s still emerging then he s not necessarily culturally aware because he didn't necessarily had the exposure and knowledge of those countries. It s not like Europe where no one cares about those things. It does not matter if you are nigerian or not...no one really cares about that. Everyone loves naija artists. Meanwhile it is essential to respect certain custom in certain regions of the world. American are known for their carelessness its part of their brand. It does not apply to African who re supposed to be culturally aware as they are closer to the mother land. Even lady gaga has been cancelled in naija because extreme religious people said she was a devil worshipper then it is not only Ethiopian who are attached to their beliefs. Christian nigerian pastors said that Lady gaga should be banned. Beyonce has been accused of the same.thing in the US. I don't think it s even about religion it s more about people misinterpretation. I underline that it has nothing to do with being nigeiran as many other artists have been accused of the same thing just based on songs lyrics
@@Natural-Cute Really? do u know that every Nigerian Artist that performs over seas pay taxes there? so am going to lose millions of dollars over jelousy? bruh, stop it. In the UK alone for all performances in the UK, 20% and in the US 30% tax is withheld on performance fees, taxed when the performance is undertaken. Just stop, and respect other peoples culture and believes, this guy man.

My love for Ethiopia have increased. Rema intentionally got that necklace because of the symbol it carries. Most times we buy stuff because of the designs and symbols on them. U can't just buy a necklace worth millions and you say you have no love for the symbol on it.
Many Ethiopian was a Rema fan including me. We Ethiopian accept every one as family, but do not disrespect our religion and country period! Rema wore a custom made necklace that symbolize a hurtful message for us Ethiopians who worship Christian orthodox religion. The answer is simple! respect ethiopians, cultures and religions. Ethiopia and Ethiopians are loving peoples. We do not see color or country to accept a guest or make friend. We listen our patriarchs, church leaders, accept their guidance. Rema was against what we ethiiopian orthodox value more than anything, so he shouldn't be welcomed and any one in the same reasons.
These guys have it wrong. Why would anyone be jealous of Rema when they don’t even know who he is. What he did was brought to the priests’attention and they made the decision. I personally am happy they stopped him. He can believe whatever he believes in but a sign of burning church is disrespect to the Ethiopian church. And he did not do that innocently.
Some of you that are blaming Ethiopians are still the same people that supported that Davido artistes video be brought down cos it showed Muslims praying. “Hypocrite plenty gan”
What they gonna do? to fight with ethiopian people we will finish them. Ethiopia is our country you have respect our religion and culture if not we take you down no joke.😊😊
Bro said hatred n' jealousy💀💀 nobody gives a shit bout him being Nigerian, we just don't want his illuminati rituals on our land!! proud to be Ethiopian🇪🇹❤❤❤
I salute you our Ethiopian Brothers and Sisters. U have your life, your monies your principles and no one , nobody has a right to tell you or question how U spend your money. Nigerians who believes in the Afterlife, the life after here, of eternity, who knows that we did not evolve from Monkeys, but from a Master Genius mind called God Almighty, we are behind U on this. And thank you for appreciating his act /Nigeria artist and talent and inviting him.
I am very proud of my country for having strict boundaries when it comes to respecting others' cultures and religions. I can't say he is for sure illuminati or whatever, but every famous person should respect others' culture or religion.
Please Rema was invited by the people of the country, Rema has not openly told anyone he was burning a church, we all believe in same God. Ethiopia do your concert with your people alone, so no one tramples on your beliefs. Stay in your country alone because those countries you go to make money have their beliefs too, which may be contrary to your beliefs.
