But my humble thought! rather than fragmenting COJOSA, with different units and diverse visions, we should rather have one global COJOSA group with one vision, mission and one aim even though with different approach towards archieving that one global vision. I am for COJOSA springing all over the world, but our vision, aims and aspirations should be properly articulated and propagated, such that where ever any unit or branch is springing up from, there should always be a reference point. Cant we operate one website? or one group on Face Book? Atleast to maintain and keep our uniqueness and group focus intact, afterall the world is now a global village. Ofcourse every unit can operate their accounts and programmes as it relates to their different environment. I am for Snr Kofo's vision any time any day, so is my support for the Snr's Mary Tombiri and Dennis I. unit in the US of A. Pls i crave the indulgence of the members of our great Alma Mater!
