<div>Congratulations Nii. Indeed it is well deserved. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>I know Nii back in 1998, when I first met him in Addis Ababa </div>
<div>and he wrote on a piece of napkin how the Internet worked. </div>
<div>It all made sense for a novice. I was so impressed</div>
<div>then and shall and hope to continue. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>May all of us follow your feet, Nii :-)</div>
<div>Sincerely.</div>
