Congratulations for a good job done.  Congrats to the Executive and Mr. Peter Amakobe for putting this together.  Excellent work.

It is a beautiful and interactive site that would serve as a virtual community center for all Africans and friends of Africa.  A good website is only as good as how and who uses it so I will encourage everyone to visit and send in conmments which I am sure the webmaster/webmistress would appreciate.

A lot more content is needed.  Like a new house, we have the structure now but we all need to pitch in to decorate the site with the appropriate and useful furnishings.

Once again, AYEKOO or well done as we say in Ghana.

Cheers.
