Response to the National Chairman of EVI's letter - Mr. Alfred Salami

Dear National Chairman, Mr. Alfred A. Salami:

After series of e-mails I have sent to you to join us in our monthly meeting. You have decided at this point to come out an voice your opinion. If I had known that my reaction to an article which was placed on our secondary website will get your attention, I will have done that long time ago. I just want you to remember that I have not violated the constitution by commenting to an article which was published in www.frontpagemag. com Our Secondary website is not our permanent website. This is a web to store information until our main website is enhanced. If you read the heading of the website it indicated that Ebirans and the world - By EVI. The article you complained about "Your Move, Mr. President." My comment is a reaction to an article in the United States and it has nothing to do with politics either in the United States or Nigeria. I hope I have clarified some of your worries.

I am very open to constructive critics and EVI as whole is open to constructive suggestions on helping our ailing land. I thank you for your contribution at this time, We hope in the near future, you will join us in deliberating on some of the important issues facing our land. By the way we are still waiting for the annual dues from Ebira Vonya International Region 2 members. Please follow the information that the General Secretary have put forward to all members. The details about our account is included in that document. You can also get the account information from our secondary website: www.jakomodebiravon yainternational. blogspot. com

If I may recollect exactly, during our initial formation of EVI, we indicated that we, the Executives have to meet first before inviting our Politicians for a meeting. I do not think any of our members said we must not talk with Politicians. Ebira Politicians are sons and daughters of our land. We therefore, cannot do anything in Ebiraland without them. Our goal is to Unite all Anebiras including Politicians. Our Constitution clearly indicated that we are non profit organization and have no political motives to side one political entity than the other. We must threat and respect each political party that exists in our land. Therefore, we must not side one particular party if our organization want to prosper to bring everlasting change to our land.

We want to unite not divide. Mr. Chairman trust me, we all agreed that you should be fully involved in every activities that goes on in our organization. Thus, all meetings agenda were sent to you by National Secretary. and the minutes of the meetings were always made public. We have nothing to hide. EVI is as transparent as it could be. We have been able to have meaningful discussions amongst the Executives who attends our monthly meetings.

Once again I am grateful for voicing out your mind. Do not go back in the closet for another year.

I would like to thank those of you that have responded to the Chairman's e-mail thus far. We have demonstrated our abilities to unite not divide through the activities going on at home that we exist to serve our people. We will continue to expand our horizon to get everyone with good intention for our motherland on board. We should unite and work hard to prevent our selves from being side tracked from our course. I would therefore, ask everyone of you to move pass this incident without fueling it further. We must demonstrate maturity and intelligence at all times.

God bless EVI! God bless Ebiraland!! and God bless Nigeria and the World at large!!!
