We are gradually getting there. Its a matter of time. Hopefully before the end of the Retardeen's tenure.

Even more disturbing than the number of awards is the caliber of people receiving the awards. What have they done to deserve these awards
Re: The Usa Has Given 105 National Awards In 200 Years, Nigeria Has Given 3,924 by occam(m): 4:45pm On Nov 18, 2011
We have to give more national awards since cheiftancy titles are now two for a penny.  In every nook and corner you will find an "Otunba".  Just Pay N100,000 to a Bale in a small Yoruba hamlet and you'll get your own Otunba.  In another 3 yrs,  "Asiwaju" will also be affordable for the masses. Right now it's only available for the thieving politicians.

We too like title.  Even the guy that sells spare parts in Lagos is "Honourable".  Now that title is becoming cheap, so  "GCON" is the flavour of the month.

Thanks mate for searching out this link,
Now according to the site, there were reasons and highlights why the awards were given to each recipient, take note of Meryl Streep and her achievements in the arts citations, now can we compare this to the awards (shambles, :where is the criteria ) given to aki and pawpaw. How about our so called IG of sissies (not fit to be called cops).
Not complaining about the amount of awards given but who are they given to, enough said

Absolutely nothing!!,  and in some cases, some have done more harm than good towards the progress on the Nation. Im not bothered about Nigerian National awards because I dont take them serious.

why are u guys making noise.

if they invite all of you, none of u will reject the award. Up Nigeria

There are lots of Nigerians that won't accept it. Chinua Achebe is No.1
Re: The Usa Has Given 105 National Awards In 200 Years, Nigeria Has Given 3,924 by Oletunow(m): 5:11pm On Nov 18, 2011
The post from the original poster is inaccurate, if you actually count USA national awards, it might be more than that of Nigeria, Just taking two US awards,

1. Presidential Medal of Honor (Obama 31, Bush 81 & Clinton 88) = 200 in just about 11 yrs,
2. Medal of Honor, which is lower than Presidential Medal of Honor - the ratio is 1 Presidential Medal of Honor to about 240 Medal of Honors,

That aside, wetin dey pain una? na becos no bi una get the award? una just dey react the same kind of reaction wey some students go react towards the kid that took first position and collected all the prizes,

Abeg make una leave award talk better thing,

well national award is different from normal award.

The truth is that most of the people that collect the award should be in jail for raping the nation.The number is irrelevant ,what we should ask is what have these people done to 9ja.most have killed this nation and we are clapping for them.I don't think the guy with this post have problem with the number, the content of his post is saying literally that our awards are not a reflection of the real thing.That we give awards to tom,dick and harry and this is true

Awards in Nigeria is for those who distinguished themselves in the field of robbing/stealing with pen.

They should extend it to policemen who distinguished themselves in the area of collecting bribe by using gun.
