[AfrICANN-discuss] Help with .africa history

[Seun Ojedeji]

Thanks Badru,

Your comment is the take home for me; I agree that politics exists in other
continent however I also like to note that there is just something distinct
about that of Africa! Why for instance do we need to have two applications
for the same initiative, can't we just collectively agree on one thing and
do the pushing in the same direction. May plead that the oldies amongst us
help we young generation set a stand on this...let's begin to have an era
in Africa where we disagree to agree on issues. The death of the president
of Ghana and the smooth transitional process gives my hope for Africa!
Let's stop this disagreeing to disagree model...our collective work should
speak  louder and not us speaking for our personal motives!

Cheers!
