The Most Respected & Honoured Man In Nigeria Currently by ogaemma: 6:41pm On Jan 05, 2013
Dear Naira landers,
I came up with this thought after I watched live on AIT the wedding of Gov. Okorocha's daughter in Owerri.
I this the most respected man in Nigeria is Obasanjo. I do not know if there is any living man in Nigeria who have equalled the kind of public respect and honour that is giving to Obasanjo in occassions.
What do you think? Pls share your experience; who is the most respected & honoured living man in Nigeria?

Are you talking of genuine respect that good men Achebe deserve or nigerian kind of respect for bandits like obj?

Did someone actually typed obasanjo up there? Is dat meant to be funny or something?
I don't really think there is any body in this nation that is widely accepted and sincerely respected

Achebe??...

Achebe has a duplex in the hall of SHAME. He is a bitter, divisive and xenophobic old man...

He may be the most respected Biafran (by IGBOs).

1) Aliko Dangote
2) Wole Soyinka etc...

OBJ is a cold-blooded murderer!!!

I would have picked Obasanjo but.........uhmmm....Atimes Ogun,PDP and Nigerian Politics would not certified Baba for the post of the most Respected and Honoured Man in Nigeria!!! Though Baba is always Classical to me!!!



To satisfy the Topic of this thread, Aliko Dangote is the Most Respected and Honored Man in Nigeria!!!!..........

Obj that cant win the polling boot in front of his house. What can be more of s rejection if your daughter contests an election and she lost to the opposition in your ward. Tell me who accepts obj apart from Igbos who are still far away from civility.
