Nejo (also transliterated Nego) is a town in western Ethiopia. Located in the Mirab Welega Zone of the Oromia Region, this town has a latitude and longitude of 9°30′N 35°30′E / 9.5°N 35.5°E with an elevation of 1821 meters above sea level. It is the administrative center of Nejo woreda. Nejo is served by an airport (ICAO code HANJ, IATA NEJ).
In his travel book, In Search of King Solomon's Mines, Tahir Shah described Nejo in the late 20th century as a town with "a muddy main street", lined with "buildings with corrugated iron roofs and cement walls". He stops in a bar where "kerosene and sawdust had been sprinkled on the floor to keep away the flies."[1]
History [link]
Near Nejo at the hill of Guté Dili, on 14 October 1888 the joint forces of Ras Gobana Dacche and Moroda Bekere defeated the invading army of Khalil al-Khuzani, an officer of the Abdallahi ibn Muhammad who had invaded Wellega. At the time, Nejo was a trading center of the Sibu Oromo.[2] Dejazmach Gebre Egziabher moved his residence from Nekemte to Nejo, where around 1893 he built the church of Kidane Mihret, the second Ethiopian Orthodox church in Sibo province; priests for the church were recruited from Shewa.[3]
In 1904 Onesimos Nesib arrived at Nejo to establish a mission, together with his wife, his children, and a group of associates including Aster Ganno. He had originally gone to Nekemte, but learning that Dejazmach Gebre Egziabher had relocated to Nejo followed him there. The Dejazmach invited Onesimos to settle next to his gebbi, gave him a large piece of tax-free land, and built him a house and a school. By September of that year, Onesimus had 20 students in his school. In November 1905 Dejazmach Gebre Egziabher moved his residence back to Nekemte, and he took Onesimus along. The school had as many as 68 students, but closed when Onesimos and Aster left.[3] About this time, Nejo had become a significant market center for gold from the nearby Abay and Dabus rivers. "The stock-in-trade is a small neatly worked basket," wrote Herbert Weld Blundell who visited the area in 1905, "containing pebbles ground to equal the weights required for weighing out the gold, a small copper balance, and finally, the gold-dust in quills The amount of gold exported from Nejjo has been put by engineers living there at about £80,000 a year, and the tribute of the king is about one-half of this."[4]
The Evangelical mission was revived in 1927, when Pastor Martin Nordfeldt and his family arrived from Nekemte in July of that year. During their stay, the Nordfeldts wrote an Oromo grammar which was printed in the Swedish journal Le monde oriental. Nejo became something of a mining center in 1929, when important occurrences of gold were found in the area.[3]
Although the Evangelical church had survived the Italian occupation, despite being converted to a Roman Catholic church, after their expulsion Fitawrari Danye and his soldiers allegedly vandalized the building, stealing everything of value, knocking the altar to pieces, and used the church building as a stable. The other mission buildings were likewise pillaged. Despite this, by the late 1940s the mission was once again in operation.[3]
A 26-year old farmer, Henok Jonatan, was arrested by government forces in Nejo on 16 March 1995, suspected of being active for the Oromo Liberation Front. He is believed to have been tortured, along with nine other Oromo prisoners. Their bodies were discovered 28 April at Mucha Fugiso.[3]
Demographics [link]
Based on figures from the Central Statistical Agency in 2005, Nejo has an estimated total population of 19,887, of whom 9,811 are men and 10,076 women.[5] The 1994 census reported this town had a total population of 11,125 of whom 5,321 were men and 5,804 were women.

Ñejo & Dalmata
Ñejo & Dálmata, also known as Ñejo y Dálmata, are a reggaeton duo from Ponce, Puerto Rico. Ñejo was born June 20, 1975 & Dálmata was born February 29, 1980. They had worked together in collaborations with other reggaeton artists before they released their album Broke & Famous in 2007. Some of Ñejo's and some of Dálmata's songs reached the Billboard 200 in 2006 and 2007.
Ñejo has been involved with reggaeton since the production of DJ Joe 5 was released. They started working as a duo on Fatal Fantasy 2.
Ponce decided to independent artists and work on their own, that it was a bit obvious to hear the latest songs from the artists who did not mention Flow music. The Makinaria, Nelflow or Perreke, and that since their subjects were not produced by the DJ's of The Makinaria and that their productions were done by a DJ called DJ Elektrik. In March 2012 Ñejo & Dalmatian, which has long belonged to one of the largest companies around the urban genre "Flow Music" (company to which they belong J Alvarez and colleagues Lui-G 21 Plus) ceased to be part of that and now belong to EL Bunker Productions.
Nejo (woreda)
Nejo is one of the 180 woredas in the Oromia Region of Ethiopia. Part of the Mirab Welega Zone, Nejo is bordered on the southeast by Boji, on the west by Jarso, on the northwest by Mana Sibu, and on the north and east by the Benishangul-Gumuz Region. The administrative center is Nejo; other towns in Nejo include Gori and Wara Jiru.
Overview
In this woreda there is a gold mine said to be the oldest one in the world, according to the Spectrum Guide to Ethiopia; that book adds that it is "thought by some to be the source of the legendary 'King Solomon's Mines' featured in the novel of the same name by Rider Haggard." European prospectors, granted concessions by the Ethiopian government, searched for gold between 1901 until the Second Italian-Abyssinian War, finding deposits on Tulu Kami and the Laga Gumbi hills, as well as along the Alaltu and Dilla Rivers.Coffee is an important cash crop of Nejo. Over 50 square kilometers is planted with this crop.
In the 2005 Ethiopian elections, the electoral district of Nejo elected Mesfin Nemera Deriesa (party whip of the Oromo Federalist Democratic Movement) as their representative in the House of People's Representatives.

Things I Did When I Was Dead
by: No AgeProblems when I wanna see you everyone I knew
Uncle lied and I could die and I said somewhere new
Would you like the things I saw and bring you too
I should tell me more I'd like to see me I know where
I would
Oooooooooooh
I went down my war I shoots and I take everyone
Parties like my policy and I take where I'm some
Damaged like my every thoughts and when you talk I do
Things I did when I was dead and everyone loves you
