Doesn't negate the fact that Christianity isn't a white man's religion at its core as many would have Africans believe.

Oromos are not Somalis.
Oromo People
The Oromo people are the native inhabitants of Eastern Africa. Their population s estimated to be 55 million, which makes it the largest ethnic group in Eastern Africa. There are thousands of Oromo people living in diaspora, largely residing in are United States of America, Australia, Canada, Norway, England and Sweden.

| The Oromo are one of the Cushitic-speaking groups of people with variations in color and physical characteristics ranging from Hamitic to Nilotic. A brief look at the early history of some of the peoples who occupied north-eastern Africa sheds some light on the ethnic origin of Oromo. The Cushitic speakers have inhabited north-eastern and eastern Africa for as long as recorded history.... ...Oromo have several clans (gosa, qomoo). The Oromo are said to be of two major groups or moieties descended from the two 'houses' (wives) of the person Oromo represented by Borana and Barentu (Barenttuma). Boranawas senior (angafa) and Barentu junior (qutisu). Such a dichotomy is quite common in Oromo society and serves some aspects of their political and social life. The descendants of Borana and Barentu form the major Oromo clans and sub-clans. They include Borana, Macha, Tuullama, Wallo, Garrii, Gurraa, Arsi, Karrayyu, ltu, Ala, Qalloo, Anniyya, Tummugga or Marawa, Orma, Akkichuu, Liban, Jile, Gofa, Sidamo, Sooddo, Galaan, Gujii and many others. However, in reality there is extensive overlap in the area they occupy and their community groups. And since marriage among Oromo occurs only between different clans there was high degree of homogeneity. Oromo PeopleThe Oromo people are the native inhabitants of Eastern Africa.

Somalis are most closely related to Afar and Saho peoples. But, compared to Habeshas, Somalis are more closely related to Oromos. Oromos and Somalis both speak Cushitic languages, share many similar culture traits, and are genetically related. Oromos also are similarly related to Habeshas.

You become catholic because you want someone to pay your school fees. I have a friend called Joseph but he and his family face the Ka'aba five tmes daily. He also goes to Mass on Sunday.

Read some more and avoid relying on random snippets of information collected from the internet. "Closely-related" has a very wide scope to it and "a common language group" carries different meanings too.

Chief, unless you are an authority on Oromos and their genealogy, you cannot dictate which information one should and shouldn't rely on. What would be prudent is for you to either share a link from a respected and reknown author on Oromo's history or a book....
Otherwise we will all post links from various writers here to confirm or contradict what you think or know...
