Abstract “It is one small step for a man, but one giant success for human kind!” (Armstrong, 2020) The versatile strategies of Oromoo expulsion from its homeland is not a new phenomenon in this country, however its dimensions and magnitudes are increasing from time to time, to the extent of regarding Oromoo as the cause for all atrocities and destructions happened at all. Land grabbing, cultural pruning, estranging from political representation, alienation to exercise home language, etc. are all common practices sustained in the modern Ethiopia. After being the reform was made in Ethiopian politics a new narration of Oromoo slandering is added to previous projects, a ‘capa Lamborghini’ (common bull fighting names) ‘People of the day’. Refuting against this false narratives of Habasha hegemonic discourses entails this research to be conducted. It has been conceived while I am doing my research on Finfinnee/Shaggar historiography, an extension of the research project published in 2020 under the title ‘Baraaraa: its location and Politics’. This research is qualitative in its approach as the nature of data dictates. Interviews with key informants of Oromoo elites, historians, Hayyuus of Abbaa Gadaas, Abbaa Gadaas, contemporary Abbaa Kolboo of Odaa Nabee, and prominent authors were analyzed against historical evidences. The following three interwoven arguments were the central theme of the research, Abbaa Muudaa abandonments from its Qe’ee Finfinnee, claiming originality, and refuting false narratives.Historical evidences signified that Finfinnee/Odaa Nabee had been the original seat of Abbaa Muudaa or center for its shrines. Jiillaas of the five moieties from all Oromoo Gadaa territories were assembled at Odaa Nabee and surroundings ( Caffee Handoodee,Caffee ____ , and Caffee Tumaa all are around Finfinnee) for power transfer , law makings and benedictions; and Haarmosa –Gadaa(Gadaa reform ) had made at Odaa Nabee in 1116 EC. This study also identified the significance of securing ownership of the ritual places Odaa Nabee and Irreecha Finfinnee ritual center as one means to combat the false narratives against Oromoo. Key words: ‘Abbaa Muudaa’, Finfinnee, ‘Gadaa’ Teritiries, ‘Qaalluu’
