Dear All.
I have imagined the best way possible to pass this message across without being
crucified beyond limits. This is strictly my opinion and I stand to be
corrected.
For some time now I have been watching things from the sidelines. I have
watched this once vibrant group slowly lose steam and the Command spirit that
drives us to the extent that all we do now is share jokes and gists of old
escapades back in school.
I am imagine why not a single one of our branches is functioning anymore. We
seem to have given in to our weaknesses and jettisoned our strengths.
Lagos branch, what happened to you guys? I am ashamed of what happened to us in
Port Harcourt and Abuja. There is immeasurable advantages in getting together.
A lot of reasons and excuses have been given for this one-step-forward,
two-step-backward movement. While some may be tenable, others are just as a
result of lack of commitment to the Command cause.
I always sadly, remember Adam John's "101 questions and where are the real
Commandos". I had thought that will get us thinking and inspire us to prove
that we are still among the best crop of nigerian products of Command
extraction. However, it seems it did not make any meaning to us. What exactly
are we not doing right? Is it that we can not organise ourselves effectively to
constitute a major force, even in the country at large?
There have been attempts in the past to have a constitution, establish and
nurture new branches, while consolidating those existing. The question is why
did these attempts fail? There must be something we can do to overcome whatever
challenges we are faced with and reposition COJOSA.
I think time is now to get ourselves back together again and like the old song
let's prove "We don come again o".
Thank you all for your time.
Best Regards.
