Re: Nairaland Politics Section Hall Of Fame/shame - 2011 Induction by Ejine(m): 7:24pm On Dec 05, 2011
Hall of Fame
Chinua Achebe: For looking beyond the glittery diamond served by an extremely rotten hand, and showing us once more that dignity is what really matters in life. This he demonstrated by bluntly, albeit politely, turning down the National Award offered by Jonathan and the Federal Government for their failure to really stand up to their real responsibilities, which comprise the safety of the people among many others.

Hall of Shame
The one and only Reuben Abati: Oh, who would have guessed that this man would become the very thing he blasted all these years? Selling out is one thing; and ultimately killing off the people's faith in the integrity of news columnists is another. I think Mr. Abati single-handedly accomplished both, this year.
