Sir, I strongly believe that Senior John did this as a part of the COJOSA new birth. Most of all his write-ups were actually full of facts and were also thought-provoking. But sometimes, if not all times, accepting defeat and showing humility could be the best way of winning. Now that he has stepped forward to say this, others who knows they have actually been wrong all the while will learn from this great example. If someone who actually has done very well all the while comes out to tender an apology, conscience of those who have not done much will definitely be pricked. And by so doing, we'll all move forward towards a Great COJOSA that we have all been dreaming of. For me, this is a very noble act which I would wish every one should strive to emulate for the sake of unity and progress. We are all Commandos. Thanks. Bamidele Ajibola Julius 1999 Set.

I am not sure what Adam is apologizing for. Is there something we should know? If this is all about his mails, then I beg to differ as I see nothing wrong in his comments and opinions about the state of our alumni and our general attitude towards issues. Correct me if I am wrong, senior Adam, I see this as a way to silence the voice of the Commando conscience. I will not be a party to this. This apology is not accepted by me because I don't see any reason for one in the first place, except of course, there are things that are not in the open. Let us not destroy this association on the platform of over bloated egos and personal agendas please! Na wa o. Regards Topsy.
