Let good counsel and wisdom take control from here . . . This is sad indeed. And I did mention that all hell will be let loose if this email finds its way outta this forum into public domain. My prayer really is that we are able to contain this matter before it degenerates any farther (this is bad enough). Like they say when shit hits the fan everyone gets smeared . . . As a member of a bank's DC I saw more snr mgt staff resign or lose their titles or jobs based on the contents of an abusive email (more than other cadres were asked to leave even for worse offenses like fraud/internal compromises).
Snr, Tony, now that snr George has apologized to you and snr Andrew do we expect to see an open apology from you to his dad and family as well? Maybe a letter, phone call or personal visit (especially now that they have also seen the email) will be in order. As president of a chapter and flag bearer of this association, the leader in you should really have acted with more restraint. Now you have lost your Provost and it is a clear indication that you need to put your house in order before complete chaos tears it apart. This is just so messy on a whole lotta levels. Snr George, nothing is personal. I belong to a lot of associations; from university to residence to professional and social. One common factor I have noted in all of them is this: KNOWING HOW TO RECEIVE INSULTS WHILE DOING SELFLESS OR COMMUNITY SERVICE IS A NECESSARY INGREDIENT FOR SUCCESS. But the fact is that the service or work you are doing is not for your benefit. It is meant for the future survival of our great school and much much younger generation we hope will take the cue and assume leadership positions eventually. This is no different from the CMS, and Igbobi and KC and Edo College etc that today represent hallmarks for Old Boys associations and I know we will get there. So just as the priest at my wedding said I can only divorce if I assemble everyone again dressed up the same way, aged the same (hahaha), I put it to you that you can only resign if you organize another nite of red necks in the same hotel, with the exact same attendees, etc etc and announce there and then that you no do . . . We no go gree, heh, kpa kpa kpa, heh, we no go gree . . . Snr Godwin . . . same to you. All the people that elected you Provost Abuja must be gathered together in one place just as the day you received mandate from them before we accept your resignation otherwise it is also void. Heh, kpa kpa kpa . . . Seriously, no one is perfect, surely not I. But I know that we are not bad people. There's a definite good in all of us; even in the small and great things we want to do for our Alma mater and by extension, for ourselves. Let this element of good help us do the right things accordingly. This is now such a litmus test for this association and my prayer is that we scale thru. My appeal especially goes out to our snrs in 82 Set and the other concerned chapter presidents to pls take this matter offline and assist with a speedy resolution. We the younger members of this association are watching this drama unfold. This association is our future and we will not like you to toy with it. We have taken the learning points and we believe you will do what is right so that our learning, knowledge and understanding may be complete. Many thanks as you treat as urgent. Happy Easter holidays again everyone. Cheers Daniel. FHH 89 Set, COJOSANA. ________________________________ From: George Igboanugo <drigba...@yahoo.com> To: "JosCommandos@yahoogroups.com" <JosCommandos@yahoogroups.com> Sent: Thursday, March 28, 2013 2:31 AM Subject: Re: [Jos Commandos] Open Letter To George Igboanugu I thank every one for their patience in this matter. I again apologize to all and especially to Tony Akhidenor and Andrew if in any way they were insulted by my statements. Unfortunately Tony's comments were posted on my friends column in facebook and most of my family and friends have read this. I see the wisdom in all Gabriel Bigwan and Daniel Opolo is saying but had no answer when asked by my father what I did to emanate such open hatred from someone so much younger than I am and feels there is more to it than my letter. He also cautioned me not to respond to the threat that I will be beaten up and found this very distasteful. I have brought much dishonor to a great man (at least in my eyes) and hence resign my position as interim head of this committee with immediate effect. I also wish to dissociate myself from any Cojosa activity henceforth and crave the indulgence of all to respect my wishes. I cherish all my command friends in facebook and will continue to participate in Bridgets and Glory Kudes comments as well as take part in Sams controversies and Godwin Okpe and Grants insights. I love you all and cherish you all and feel this is the most honorable thing to do. Good luck and God Bless you all Dr George Igboanugo ________________________________ From: "tonydenor...@yahoo.com" <tonydenor...@yahoo.com> To: JosCommandos@yahoogroups.com Sent: Wednesday, March 27, 2013 5:03 AM Subject: Re: [Jos Commandos] Open Letter To George Igboanugu Dear Great Commandos, I must confess that the kind of over flow of concern and love shown by people that know me and most especially those that don't know me in person has brought me to this point. Let me say thank you to you all and a VERY BIG SORRY to u all. Senior Victor indeed called me and also made it possible for me 2 speak wit SNR GEORGE. All is well that ends well. This matter has been resolved. I sincerely APOLOGISE in particular to Senior George and in general to you ALL. Please this is an episode that l would love to put behind me and that is only possible with your help. COJOSA is Great and will remain so. Thank you for your understanding and anticipated forgiveness. God bless.

I also think these personal attacks are unnecessary and unjustified. Is this the command spirit we profess? I am ashamed! I shall be calling both of you privately to discuss this issue and I hope this is the last time I read this kind of no-holds-barred mail from you especially Tony. I say so not with any pretense at any authority but because it is the responsible thing to do and a further degeneration can only be counterproductive.

Your choice of words, name calling and insults came as no surprise to me but l am sure 99% of Commandos will be shocked and sad to read such personal attack on individuals and even Family so publicly especially from a supposed SENIOR. >You have really taken us to a different level this time. >You failed to objectively address the issues l raised in my mail and unfortunately decided to be CHILDISH in your utterances and comments. >Your write up have shown how intolerant you are to constructive criticisms. It is obvious from your write up that the contents of my mail has caused you several sleepless nights and most likely you are having a Nervous Breakdown. >Note that in my write up l have no problem with the ‘Nite of The Red Necks’ my issue was how the Interim National Committee was set up, who made the appointments, why those group of people, why the secrecy, etc. >In my write up and you know it l only named two persons in order to describe a particular situation. All those persons you have mentioned in your mail that l insulted and called names are again a failed attempt by you to create enmity between us. These persons can read between the lines. >You have now made a feeble attempt to answer my questions (putting the cart before the horse). You have equally tried in vain by stating names of persons who you think am against and are with you, thereby once again trying your best to polarise the COJOSA Family. I have no problem with individuals that’s why l did not mention your name or members of the committee of friends, as is true, not all members of your COF were aware of your motives until very late. The Chapter Presidents did not except for maybe Mary, I focused on the issue which you have failed to do. >Hence, you have descended so low to name calling and being abusive. You ought to realize that other people share our views so rather than personalizing it you should have addressed the issues concerned but that is your way – DESTRUCTIVE. >You even went too far by describing the Akhidenor Family as ‘What A Family’. Am ,quite sure that even your father who was a former VP of CSSJ will be very disappointed and shocked by that remark and so will every member of this Forum. >My question is that – has it come to this? Senior George, you want us to start abusing our families?. What a SENIOR you are indeed, what an ‘educated person’ you are, what a ‘human being’ you are. >You are definitely a good example of a BAD SENIOR. >You have exposed how Immature and Uncultured you are. Since l came out with that write up you have made frantic efforts to discredit me by trying to recruit several persons those who have divergent views you have labelled as Rebels. You have cajoled people to write on this issue to support you, l have facts. Do you really think you have a monopoly of knowledge, do you really think you can suppress the voice of the people, hence your grand design to appoint yourself - Interim National Chairman (Chairman of yourself, for yourself and by yourself). >My main gross is that you are a Dictator, you want everyone to dance to your tune, haba ‘My Oga At The Top’. >Your so called interim committee did not include people from the ‘90s, and ‘00s. What a committee indeed, so you think that our COJOSA is for the ‘80s only? That goes to show that you don’t possess the required skill, experience and temperament to Captain the COJOSA ship even in an Interim Capacity. >We have very good seniors in COJOSA, big Brothers and sisters, who realize that they are not perfect, they are humble and God fearing, they encourage the younger ones, they equally know that even from the mouth of babies wisdom can be found. You don’t belong in this group,‘PERFECT SENIOR GEORGE’ what you have earned is NOTORIOUS GEORGE. >The Abuja chapter members know me far better than you would, they know that decisions are taken jointly in the house, l do carry them along. >Even my write up regarding how the Chapter Presidents met and decided that we should inform our various chapters and meet in June 2013 to harmonise the various views is a pointer that l belong to a democratic setting, it is clear you purposely read my mail upside down to make your selfish points. >My mail was my personal recount of what happened on that faithful Saturday as l explained to Snr. Ter Akaa, and Godwin Okpe, (these are people that are very dear to me professionally and otherwise) . All the individuals you mentioned are very close to me and you will not destroy our friendship as that is your stock in trade. >You have admitted that you do not belong to any Chapter, l am Abuja Chapter President not by mouth but by deeds and duly elected if you must know. >‘Senior George’ you don’t know me. I have very good relationship with my seniors l don’t hate them rather l usually seek their counsel, l enjoy their company and always love to be around them (if l hate my seniors then my juniors would equally hate me too) but, of course l do not like seniors like you. >Senior Birigeni had wanted me to be in Abuja last weekend for a meeting (possibly with you) to resolve this issue but l told him respectfully that l was out of town and would be available during the Easter break, he promised to get back to me as he has a busy schedule too, he is a COJOSA Statesman and l feel bad ‘cause this issue is stressing’ him, because he is a man of PEACE. >I have learnt long time ago that if there is anything that would make me ‘lower my eyes’ when asked by someone about anything concerning me, l should avoid such. This is something you have definitely not learned Senior George, l won’t be intimidated by you as l stand by what l wrote earlier. >You have quoted lies about me, when you don’t know me, you have printed tissues of lies that people can see through. I met you for the first time in my life that evening and we talked (it was more like a monologue) for less than 30 minutes what an impression you made. >If you had spoken or listened to Senior Birigeni am sure you would have avoided this embarrassment to yourself and your Family. >Like l stated you may be a Senior but you lack very clear leadership traits. Is this how you engage with your juniors?, am sure you regret we are not in CSSJ so you can give me the beating of my life, but times have changed and now l can give you the beating of your life if you are MAN enough to insult me face to face. >You have equally shown how naive you are, so you formed FRSC (with your money abi?) so why don’t you tell us how many Commandos you employed and those that are paying royalties to you. Maybe you employed Andy and he is not paying his tithe to you hence the annoyance. Tell us how you used FRSC to build COJOSA please, so we can all clap and doff our hats to you,’Mr. Let Me Blow My Own Trumpet’ indeed the pot calling the kettle black. >Senior George, you have obviously never achieved anything worth mentioning in your INGLORIOUS LIFE hence your desperate attempts to gain relevance in COJOSA by ALL MEANS possible. What kind of ‘Cut and Nail’ doctor are you? >From your mail (which you painstakingly wrote) one can deduce thatyou are in COJOSA to destroy. No normal human being will write such rubbish and expect to get away with it. You are indeed a SHAME and EMBRASSMENT to the Igboanugu Family (especially your Father – the real reason he didn’t come for the Event was because he knows how irresponsible you are and not the flimsy excuse you gave us regarding his absence),your friends and the whole COJOSA. You have indeed left a sour taste in our mouths as no one expected to open their mail and read the rubbish you posted. >I had promised some seniors and friends that l was not going to make any further comments on this issue but with your post they can all see that l have no choice but to react. >Goodbye‘SENIOR’ GEORGE, as l don’t intend reading from you and your paid Agents.
