Re: NAA General Meeting of December 19

Hello "David Fasholu",
I administer NAA Speaks Out and notice your attempt to post to the forum. As you can see, your attempt is not successful. The anti-forgery protection on the forum seems to think that you are not a real person; as if some people are setting up fictitious emails to send out messages.
Our countermeasures are not 100% accurate. So, if this is incorrect, please give me a call at 780-7-zero-7-two-five-6-one.
I am forwarding your attempted post anyhow because, you deserve to be heard, whoever you are.

My own take is let this present board complete their tenure; hold them accountable for any financial mess they cause, and make sure all members in good standing come out to vote in the March 2011 general election.

It takes sacrifices and selflessness from members to build a strong association and not just good leaders alone.

Hi Dave Fashola:

Whatever shallow knowledge you may have about the on-going NAA "wahala" is not a problem, at least for me. But I find your unguided comment that "Nigerians are the most ridiculous set of people on the planet" unpleasantly disrespectful. It is better you address the main issues rather than take delight in over-zealously insulting the Nigerian people. Your contribution is welcome, but you don't have to express it if you have no valid point to make. I expect that you will apologize to all the Nigerian people for insulting them. Otherwise, you can delightfully consider yourself the most ridiculous person on the planet.

Obviously, Nigerians are the most ridiculous set of people on the planet. They sit at home and expect change to happen and if it doesn't, they are quick to blame and point accusing fingers at their leaders. Each NAA member should look at him or herself and ask what have I done to make this association better. It takes sacrifices and selflessness from members to build a strong association and not just good leaders alone.

Hello,

I am in total agreement with Olumide .

People should learn the way they talk and write, there is need for us to respect one another.

Dave, your comment was an insulting one,  you 'mistakenly' abused everybody including all Nigerians in any part of the world.

That was a bad comment to write, just be nice and  be respectful when you write next time please.

I thought you just came from Auckland, they don't talk like that in New Zealand. I am very sure of that. We deserve an apology please.

I want to say that we have heard and read enough about the 'wahalas', can we just suspend all the mails on the problems at this point?  Let us focus on the way forward, and proffer solutions to the problems at hand.

Should we audit all the accounts of the NAA from inception?

When is the next election?

How do we conduct the next election?

Should there be 'Manifesto Night' b4 the Election?

What next please?

Please, let nobody write on the problem any more, we need solutions now.

The more we write, the more we step on each others toes and the more we open up the wounds?

Thanks
Francis
