"Good mentor Haruna,
Good speed as always from your end.
For your commentaries, count me as a timelybeneficiary for the strong
opinions of yours that I dearly share." Yero.
Thank you Yero for the kind words. It is the cumulative value of all our
commentaries that you infer. Thank you all the same.
"Yourcommentaries matter a lot at a time when commentaries are our
onlyreliance for hope." Yero.
I see your anxiety Yero, but I share that commentary IS NOT OUR ONLY
RELIANCE FOR HOPE. This is a lethargic and perpetually -victim disposition. Instead,
commentary is the pre-requisite for sober action for redress. Do not
underestimate yourself among sober citizens.
"At least your words are inspiring others of courage, love and hope. Excuse
the parts where we have to disagree, time and again." Yero.
I understand and I'm obliged. Oft disagreement is the multivitamin in the
life of courage and citizen action. The trick is to learn from error and
aversions to yield more formidable synergy. I thank you for your voice.
Masoud. MQJGDT. Darbo. Abdallah!
That is just normal.
With love & kind regards,Y…
