projects, particularly with European Universities.

(8) I was very delighted and admired their enthusiastic patriotism for
nation building =8B particularly with their strong interest on the use of
Internet for e-learning and e-healthcare.

I proposed them to build a global e-learning center for Africa, as followin=
g
the suit of our Amazon project, so that their youngsters can take their
preferred courses available from various countries via broadband Internet,
even while they are in remote/rural areas of Nigeria.

I also noted them of their very strong advantage of English speaking
(compared with Japanese) so that they can build educational software
(without requiring any hard resources, but only brain with imagination and
creativity) so that they could export the software around the world =8B and
even teaching e-learners around the world from Nigeria.

Dear John:

(9) Charles plans to visit Nigeria next month.

Pls meet with him to discuss of your suggestion to work together by your
planned  coalition of universities in northern part of Nigeria and that of
southern part.

Dear Kola:

(10) Sorry your invitaion to your workshop on peace education in the last
January was postponed.

However, your joint effort with John will hopefully be materialized for my
fact finding and assessment trip in the coming November.

Pls convey my best regards to Ambassador Olusola.  During my trip to
Nigeria, I would like to rekindle our acquaintance with him whom I met at
the conference of the International Institute of Communications in Tampa, F=
L
on 9/25-28/00.

Dear Dr. Jegede:

(11) We met Dr. Wigwe, Special Assistant to the President of Nigeria, at th=
e
NIDO Summit.  She spoke of you.  I hope that you will help our GUS/Nigeiria
project from your end.

Best, Tak

(8) I was very delighted and admired their enthusiastic patriotism for nati=
on building &#8212; particularly with their strong interest on the use of In=
ternet for e-learning and e-healthcare.<BR>
<BR>
I proposed them to build a global e-learning center for Africa, as followin=
g the suit of our Amazon project, so that their youngsters can take their pr=
eferred courses available from various countries via broadband Internet, eve=
n while they are in remote/rural areas of Nigeria.<BR>
<BR>
I also noted them of their very strong advantage of English speaking (compa=
red with Japanese) so that they can build educational software (without requ=
iring any hard resources, but only brain with imagination and creativity) so=
 that they could export the software around the world &#8212; and even teach=
ing e-learners around the world from Nigeria.<BR>

(9) Charles plans to visit Nigeria next month.<BR>
<BR>
Pls meet with him to discuss of your suggestion to work together by your pl=
anned &nbsp;coalition of universities in northern part of Nigeria and that o=
f southern part.<BR>
<BR>
<B><U>Dear Kola:<BR>
</U></B><BR>
(10) Sorry your invitaion to your workshop on peace education in the last J=
anuary was postponed.<BR>
<BR>
However, your joint effort with John will hopefully be materialized for my =
fact finding and assessment trip in the coming November.<BR>
<BR>
Pls convey my best regards to Ambassador Olusola. &nbsp;During my trip to N=
igeria, I would like to rekindle our acquaintance with him whom I met at the=
 conference of the International Institute of Communications in Tampa, FL on=
 9/25-28/00.<BR>
<BR>
<B><U>Dear Dr. Jegede:<BR>
</U></B><BR>
