    Guys, Come back home. Its safe, developing faster and most importantly the feeling of being home. I hate waking up and the sight out is of a colonialist. Cheers.

      ul probably have to come home eventually, but not ryt now. @paul, yes its has been developing pretty fast, but they are probably better off there anyway given their success. i just really wish some of us down here didnt have to wait to see these people’s success stories on VOA. just wish the message cld get more personal, on local TV.
