Yes he's great but does he really deserve all the credit He's getting ? Are you trying to tell me He's in the same ranks with Martin Luther kings and Nelson Mandelas of the world ?
To me even Yar'adua looks a better candidate for the prize . This international humanitarian awards that i used to hold in high esteem are beginning to look like the Grammys to me. Even if he were going to win the Nobel prize i thought it would have been the literature category for "Audacity of hope " and "Dreams of my father", though i haven't read the books my self.

Why not start your own awards, Mr Know Better?

Whether i know better or not, i'm satisfied that i know more people like you.

I partly agree with you, edoyad. It just seems that the award is becoming cheapened by the hipe and all that. Isn't it ironic that the same question is being asked in his country: "What has Obama done to earn a Nobel Peace Prize?" I don't particularly know. But when the 'achievements' that might have earned him the prize are lined up, would it be far wrong to say that there are many, many people who might have stood a better chance to be thus honoured? Just me musing.
