Ahead of the October 1, 2022 release date, publishers of Nigeria’s premier biographical compendium on thought leaders, “Portraits of Patriots: 100 Nigeria’s Foremost Thought Leaders”, have released the names of the 100 men and women who made the prestigious list.

Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, Rivers State Governor Nyesom Wike, General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Pastor Enoch Adejare Adeboye, the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Governor Peter Obi, business mogul Aliko Dangote, and the Continental Overseer of RCCG, Africa 2, Pastor Ezekiel A. Odeyemi lead the pack of those profiled.

Others are Dr Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, UN Deputy Secretary-General, Amina Mohammed; AfDB president, Dr Akinwunmi Adeshina, Prof. Bolaji Akinyemi, Bishop Oyedepo, Pastor Kumuyi, Governor Zulum, and Bishop Kukah.


Curiously, the PDP presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, and the APC presidential candidate, Bola Ahmed Tinubu did not make the list.

According to the Editors, Kammonke Abam and Tammie Edet Kammonke, the foremost consideration in determining possible listees for “Portraits of Patriots: 100 Nigeria’s Thought Leaders“ is the extent of an individual’s inspirational value. Such inspirational value is judged by their level of patriotism, nationalism, and commitment to nation-building, defined by how much they put Nigeria first.


“These are people who, by their actions, put Nigeria above personal and sectional considerations. They are committed to the greatness of the country and are working towards ensuring that the country becomes what its founding fathers envisioned it to be”, they added.

They said, “the book profiles true Nigerian heroes and heroines, who have as a collective defined a vivid portraiture of the Nigerian story through their lives”


This, according to them, is against the often disingenuous and stereotypical reportage in some sections of the western media that portrays Nigeria and indeed, Africa as a den of crime, wars, hunger and poverty.

“We have tons of Nigerians who are daily sacrificing in their corners either as thought leaders in the areas of business, public service, civil society, faith, among others towards building a united, prosperous and indivisible country”.

Nigerians vote wisely

The two old criminals contesting for president would never make such list. However, bring up a list of the most corrupt and top rogues, and see how Tinubu and Atiku will top the list.

The two old criminals can never be compared to Obi.

Nigerians vote wisely!!!

Correct
Adesina no miss the list.

Of course, Adesina is worthy to be in the list and he is there. However, the two notorious old criminals contesting for president with the same loots they embezzled are not listed.

If you're still supporting Tinubu or Atiku, then know you're an enemy of Nigeria.

Who in his/her right senses will be supporting Tinubu or Atiku ?

As a result of Peter Obi's actions, countless people were killed in Awkusu and dumped into the river.

The APC is happy that Peter Obi is there to steal Atiku's vote in the south because generally, people who intend to vote for the criminal GCE holder were PDP supporters and every vote Peter Obi gets is good for us.

Wow

Our first class degree holder Tinubu will not be threatened by Peter Obituary, only IPOB terrorists support Obi, and they will be disgraced on election day.
