Oga George, I know run and i know hide, thanks very much for what you did and the forginess. I really appreaciate it. But there comes a time in mans life when the burden seems to be so frustrating to the point of loosing every sense of reasoning, that was the stage i was when you came to my rescue, as it were then, there was no way i could survive the seige coming to me from all angles, it was only the Grace of God that handle the emotional a nd financial stress, my closest constituency then was only COJOSA, even at that its not every body i still could cry to but you. It is err is human, but to forgive is divine. Oga, i am doing great in lagos, i would have died in PH no doubt. Once again Thanks for being there when it mattered most. Rgds to madam and the kids. I remain ur BOY

Stop running or hiding or whatever and stay focused and blessed. I hope the 007 does not conote a james bond move.

I suggest, the most senior excommando available should take charge of the event, just like we did in the last meeting, or at best, Barka Saleh Benson, who anchored the last meeting should in the interim, hold forth pending when there's a proper body elected or put in place take charge. Concerning food and drinks, lets not just bother our selves with food, but drinks. Some of us are willing to bring wine,spirits etc, thats ok, drinks at the mess are usually cheap, i suggest before the day proper, some of us would have signified our interest to make cash contributions, we can therefore plan with that and drink according to our pocket, worst case scenerior, Barka Benson Saleh had promised each of us drinks, we can as well draft a senior or two to assist him on that in addition to what Ali Aduku is providing. Bukola Thomas suggested we do barbeque, thats ok by me, i discussed with Tunde Okikiolu, i will implore him to be responsible for a greater part of footing the bill for the barbeque and ofcourse, i will be supporting him on that. It wount cost us more than N12,000.00 ( WHAT A SACRIFICE FOR COMMANDOS).Just realized, we have not been able to meet and properly plan these event, some new things that would cost money just keeps creeping up, considering the fact the event was really inpromptly agreed, the timing so short and also knowing we all are working or simply just hustling. As a commando, we cant afford to fail. Mbanu!!!!! not just possible. Concerning the venue, i have just been informed that they would be making only 30 chairs available for us, and that if we would exceed 30, it means we have to hire extra chairs. For me, no shaking, i have decided to reach out to 87/88 sets for further support, atleast i can rag my mates, for my seniors, i no wan serve purnishment, as for my juniors, i dont want to be accussed of doing 'ogboju'. Concerning the scribe for the day, i implore Bimbo and Yinka Omibiyi to amongst themselves agree to handle that, they seem to be the power house of the past exco, pls lets do all we can to make sure our elders (seniors, particularly the first five sets) be actively informed and be involved, lest we miss out in the tapping of their wisdom and well deserved contributions. Was intouch with Victor Okhai, he did sent his regrets over not being in attendance in the last meeting, i am sure we did over looked , and i have already appologised to him for that, he is indeed with us in spirit and flesh all the way. I sincerely commend those who have been very active in online/ emaill interactions thus far, it is however glaring that we need to add more flesh/ actions to all those suggestions and contributions we usually see online. Mess ofcourse will provide, light music, but i am sure we will be doing some PR's. My rgds to all commandos who are really commandos 'indeeds' (action) and not in words. It is pertinent to mention at this point, that, we all are in the steering committee, its just that a few us will just have to put in that extra effort, to be there to ensure that we all catch our fun that day. Many thanks for other anticipated views.
