Welldone Tony. You've got a good heart; follow it. I am proud of you and your team. Your sacrifice is not unnoticed. Mind you though, Lagos is not relenting at all, Lagos spurred all these trend, and it is only right for Lagos to allow others contribute freely for synergy's sake. Otherwise, we lose the benefits of variety, as of our diverse cultures and professions just as recent developments revealed. COJOSA is a worldwide community, this should be respected by the management. Our various managers/exco should begin to work as a team so as not to reveal the rivalry their "body language" suggests to discerning minds and discourage others or create disgruntled faction/cabal amongst us. The management should be such that gives every branch an 'elbow space' to operate within the ambit of our constitution. Encouraging innovations while acknowledging contributions from others and elimination self seeking or pride, with mutual respect in humility, and COJOSA worldwide will be great for it. As you know, in science nothing is bad/wrong: the wrong/bad will only tell us how not to do things next time. To some of us, its all been good/wrong/bad/ and its all been RELEVANT. By all means, I ask that all should make effort in anyway they know how; Compete if you have to, but make it healthy and productive without infriging on other parties, at the end,COJOSA will be better for it. I have not and will not ascribed any role to myself unduely. I make these this comments as a stakeholder, moreso as an awardee of our great alumni; for this reason i plea and support every individual effort directed at the success of CommandJos and COJOSA. This is to express my allegiance at this time. Welldone guys.

Dear Commandos, Sequel to our last branch meeting on August 4th 2012 at Kriscane Suites, Gwarinpa Abuja, we wish to inform you thus; 1. Welfare - The branch has begun a N50,000 loan to bonafide members who require financial assistance with 10% interest payable within 30days. This has been welcome by our members & its been implemented. 2. We are concluding plans to have a bank account opened with the aid our COJOSA trustees. 3. We have setup a 3 man committee to look into the process of organising a National/International Convention with the view of setting up a National Exco which will coordinate & unify all the known branches eg Abuja, Lagos, PH, UK/Irl, NA/Canada and most recently Jos. Of course they cmttee will be guided by the current COJOSA constitution n will advise us on the way forward. 4. The branch concluded that the absence of a Central coordinating organ such as d National Exco has led to unhealthy rivalry and sometimes mistrust amongs the branches (Commandos) which if not checked may crumble the Association which is fast growing. 5. The branch also noticed that it appears that the Lagos branch isnt as active as it was last yr & wish to call on its exco to check that trend. It also would like to hear more from the PH branch and appreciate that some activities have started in Uyo. 6. The branch generally notes that COJOSA is going places and on the right track and congratulates all Commandos on the success of this year's CSSJ speech & prize giving Day event which was electrifying. 7. The branch also encourages all Commandos to remember Jos n Plateau State as a whole in their prayers, for peace to reign as the conflicts on the Plateau has led to low student enrollment and exodus of good teachers. Thank you. For: Command Secondary School Jos Alumni Association (aka COJOSA), Abuja Branch Nigeria Anthony Akhidenor '88 set President
