Iyoas I
Iyoas I or Joas I (Ge'ez ኢዮአስ, throne name Adyam Sagad, Ge'ez አድያም ሰገድ, "to whom the confines of the earth bow") (d. 14 May 1769) was nəgusä nägäst (27 June 1755 – 7 May 1769) of Ethiopia, and a member of the Solomonic dynasty. He was the infant son of Iyasu II and Wubit (Welete Bersabe), the daughter of an Oromo chieftain of the Yejju district.
Iyoas and Mentewab
Despite his extreme youth, he was the candidate proposed by Empress Mentewab, his grandmother, who then acted as his regent. Her proposal was supported by the great nobles of the reign, Ras Wolde Leul her brother, Waragna, Ayo governor of Begemder, and Ras Mikael Sehul. One handicap with this tactic of ruling through a proxy, as Richard Pankhurst points out, was that neither Iyoas, due to his age, nor Empress Mentewab, due to her sex, could operate far from the capital city of Gondar, and relied on Waragna and her brothers to lead many of the military campaigns. The very first challenge to Iyoas' rule, when Nanna Giyorgis rebelled in Damot out of envy for Waragna's increased influence in the court, had to be suppressed by a force led by Waragna and the Empress' brother Grazmach Eshte.

(I Got) The Fever
by: OasisI'm tired of my life but my heads alright
I got the fever off a man I know
I can feel it comin' in the air tonight
And I know, I know, I know
Swear I heard a song on the radio
My heart is laughing back at me
I can see it comin' but I just don't know
If it's gon' , it's gon, it's gonna let me be
As I saw, on the breeze
I can see the sons of those who came before me
And it's got me on my knees
What you say, anyway
Will not last, it'll pass, it'll flash right there before me
And it's got me on my knees
Cos I got the fever
Yeah I got the fever
Cos I got the fever
I'm tired of my life but my heads alright
I got the fever off a man I know
I can feel it comin' in the air tonight
And I know, I know, I know
Swear I heard a song on the radio
My heart is laughing back at me
I can see it comin' but I just don't know
If it's gon' , it's gon, it's gonna let me be
As I saw, on the breeze
I can see the sons of those who came before me
And it's got me on my knees
What you say, anyway
Will not last, it'll pass, it'll flash right there before me
And it's got me on my knees
It's got me on my knees
It's got me on my knees
It's got me on my knees
As I saw, on the breeze
I can see the sons of those who came before me
And it's got me on my knees
What you say, anyway
Will not last, it'll pass, it'll flash right there before me
And it's got me on my knees
It's got me on my knees
It's got me on my knees
It's got me on my knees
