We are all shouting that the National award had been dragged in the mud by the latest list of special members of the public that would be given national award today 14/11/2011. The biggest controversy in this year own is the outright refusal/rejection of the award by a literary Icon Professor Chinua Achebe who also refused it 7years ago. We also have another big one whereby everyone thinks that police chief Hafiz Ringim is not qualified in anyway to be on the list.

The simple fact is that Majority of you Supporting Chinua Achebe rejection and clamoring that Hafiz Ringim shouldn't be on the list wouldn't have rejected it if you were to be called upon for such recognition. Even if we know that there is nothing spectacular that we have done in contribution to the Nations development. But common they didn't fight nor beg for it. It was given to them as national recognition of their contribution. It would be sick for anyone to refuse it.

With d revelation from Femi Gbajabiamila I cannot receive a national honor from dis country as it is at d moment.

Look at this Bro's ohhhh, Me self i wan make dem dey call me 2kass "CFR" No go dull

But for real I don't think these awards worth it anymore. most of the people that are conferred with these awards either buy their way through or have presidential connections. I don't think that i really fancy it personally.

Nope!!! am not. there are more trivial issues in the country presently that needs both urgent and spiritual attention, Than for me to sit down with some group of thieves to start getting Title's Aka National award does that answer your question

Heck Yeah!
Nothing under the anything Nigerian is worth any award.
Thank you.

Do the awards come with money as well? if yes, i will accept it.

yes

dem dey use am go heaven? abi e dey fetch monthly stipend?

Not until i see the "value"!

yes i would

I will even do a Thanksgiving prior and after taking the awards!

roll the carpet!
I go accept two.

The way things are in Nigeria today. Absolutely!

yes

It is too worthless these days. I can never accept it, no matter what. When a country starts awarding its prized honours to dubious businessmen, known fraudsters, corrupt politicians and questionable characters, the award loses its appeal. I am so glad that Achebe rejected his. My only advice to him is never to join issues with government again. Just ignore them.

With all honesty, I will reject the award under the present govt. Nothing worths the award.

That will be another reuben abati in the making.

Yes ofcourse, i have one already OON   . If they offer me more i will gladly accept.

I'll gladly accept it,they should even add money on too the award sef.

Yess ooo!! ^^ Kanayo has paid his dues 4 9ja in d make believe world.

What's the use of a national award when the nation's scared of moving in the right direction?

If they honour me with Sango award i will grab it not this Boko Haram award,

Is that enof 4 him 2 dzav the national honor

hw does d govt consider those dat merit d award,. Cant say, until i get d award and knw y am gettin it.

police roger makes good revenue on our roads and no one gives them honor.talk about a cesspool of corruption and dwindling productivity and all the nation can think of is some elaborate jamboree? ? ?

Considering d picture Prof. Achebe's rejection has painted, i will reject outrightly. Jona no well oh! whats d essence of these awards afterall, when there is hardship everywhere in Nigeria. Bros abeg use that money fix things for d country,
