Hello, Comfort.
That was a good one.
Yes, indeed, we shall reclaim our entire country. From Kribi to Kano to Ife
to Calabar.
All that great central Africa once was called Mount Cameroon and shall
return to its own self.
See, the temperature has already increased a few degrees here in Wisconsin,
thanks to your message.

PS. Just dust off that old leopard skin shield, because a few spears are
likely to fly from that runaway province that they insist on calling
Nigeria, before they realize that this is a joke.

Have a great day, everyone, and remember to smile. It is good for your
health.

Doesn't seem like AAM is doing well in the stormy weather and
cold temperature.
WHAT IS THE WEATHER LIKE TODAY IN MADISON?
JUST DOWNLOADED A SERIES OF EMAILS THAT TELLS
ME IT HAS BEEN TERRIBLY COLD IN THAT CITY. I AM EVEN
COUGHING AS I READ SOME OF THE VIRAL STUFF.
Let's get warm. Enclosed is some warm weather from California.
I remember what it feels like being in that cold climate. But we have
always found ways to get warm. Let's not eat ourselves to dead.
I remember the good old days when Nigeria was part of Cameroon.
Then came independence and the split.  What would it have been like
if Nigeria was still part of Cameroon? Good or bad stories? Never mind.
Enjoy the warm day.
Comfort

+AD4- Good morning, Fellow Africans and Friends of  Africa.
+AD4-
+AD4- HOW ARE WE DOING?  ARE WE RESTRAINING OURSELVES YET?
+AD4- We are glad that, yes, we are.  Thank you for the courage to do just that.
+AD4-
+AD4- Each of us had chosen to spent quality time either being informed
+AD4- or reminded of events in our back yards.  We would, we stand corrected,
+AD4- think that there is a clear purpose for the source of such either hurtful
+AD4- or
+AD4- helpful  information or reminder.  We may or may not know what that
+AD4- purpose is.  If it is the latter (may not know...), let us take time to
+AD4- find
+AD4- out by asking questions.  Asking questions would give us the blessed
+AD4- opportunity to learn something new and broaden our  horizon.
+AD4- In this way, not only would we suppress assumptions but also
+AD4- restrain our emotions and adhere to the OFFICIAL RULES
+AD4- OF THE AAM DISCUSSION NETWORK.
+AD4-
+AD4- Additionally, let us take note of Ousman Murzik Kobo's friendly advice
+AD4- today
+AD4- in which, among other things, he states: +ACI-... Our community is small and
+AD4- we
+AD4- take pride and strength in our unity.  To persevere in the current debate
+AD4- is
+AD4- to tanish the good image of the communal bonding we've so far demonstrated
+AD4- to ourselves and outsiders. I believe we're capable of forgiving each
+AD4- other
+AD4- if
+AD4- we believe we've been wronged, and we're capable apologizing even if we
+AD4- believe we've not committed any offences.+ACI-
+AD4-
+AD4- If we could do just what Ousman mentioned and continuously review the
+AD4- OFFICIAL RULES OF THE AAM DISCUSSION NETWORK, we are confident
+AD4- that all of us would make the AAM E-mail list an effective and efficient
+AD4- communication tool to our benefit.
+AD4-
+AD4-
+AD4- Thank you so much, Ousman, for the great and helpful advice.  This is a
+AD4- great example to all of us to do something worthwhile in times like these.
+AD4- We
+AD4- also take this time to thank those who might have already done so one way
+AD4- or
+AD4- another.  We appreciate your mediation.   This is a village where it takes
+AD4- everyone to respond meaningfully to moments like these.
+AD4-
+AD4- Cheers and God Bless AAM, Africa and friends of Africa.
