NIGERIAN women, again on Sunday, received a global recognition, as the Minister of Information and Communications, Professor Dora Akunyili, was honoured in the United States as one of the 50 powerful women, in an event organised by MEA Magazine.

It was the first time a Nigerian would be bestowed with such a honour. The event was held at the Ritz Carlton Hotel, Washington D.C.

The award ceremony, with the theme, Women Going the Distance, had 50 most successful business leaders across the US honoured.

In a statement signed by Debra Williams, publisher of the magazine, the organisers lauded Akunyili's efforts at redeeming the image of Nigeria.

According to the organisers, those honoured were deserving women chosen from a pool of public nominations from the ranks of professionals.

“This is an occasion to celebrate women who have endured, gone the distance for success and excellence and have contributed to their communities,” they said.

The objective of the awards, according to the organisers, was to celebrate these women as role models for their hard work, honesty, perseverance, resilience and integrity.

In her remarks on the occasion, Professor Akunyili said she was delighted to  be recognised as a one of MEA Magazine’s [size=38pt]“50 Powerful Women in Business.”

cheating is a sign of lack of self worth, fear of uncertainty and loss of focus. most relationship that collapse on the basis of cheating have poor foundation. have u ever asked yourself, why am i in this relationship, where do i want to be in the next so and so years and am i and my partner working towards that goal?

STOP READING ROMANTIC NOVELS YOU HEAR?

another user wants to use another man pickin.

why dont we learn. he is obviously trying trying to earn himself enough air miles for a flight. he wont be the first. i dont know why you guys bother going "home" to bring these good for nothing ungrateful people. we dont have conscience anymore

my only advice would be stop throwing your good money after bad one for now and hope he is not making you send his parents money like some shameless bros do.

hope you learn fast and be smart

good luck

God help nigeria

Kidnapped at a church ?
I was home recently and they told me of the method they used to kidnap someone.
A fellow came and told the the M.C at a function that their car was being blocked.
The M.C made an announcement that the owner of a certain make and color of car with license plate number blah blah ought to go move it so someone can leave.
As soon as the guy got there they kidnapped him.

i beg o. make u no go near the ugly rumour people soon.
imagine what these people have turned a blessed land into

[quote author=z-murda link=topic=411702.msg5695568#msg5695568 date=1268653472]I think TB and Chris are in league. The 'jass' from CE is from Synagogue

I think people are deluded by Christianity and indeed other religions. I do not brgrudge you your freedom to worship. Just don't expect me to believe all the crap spewed by GOs, Pastors and Deacons. Puhleeeze!! In Nigeria, its the orthodox churches that dare speak the truth maybe with the exception of the Tunde Bakares. The muslim cleric on the other hand are myopic. Allowing religion to veil their every day existence.

Fela (God bless him) was too right

[size=18pt]Thieves all of them. [/size][/quote]i think you may be right. have you considered this is so becos of the majority 419 thieving, diabolical and wicked nigerians that christianity has to recruit from.

Tis really strange how once Disaporans are put ina negative light on Nairaland na all out WAR.

I say if you are not inthe country and cannot make a sligth of difference to the countries welfare other than ranting and raving behind a computer screen you are no more than a TALKING HEAD!!

make you pity them small.
some people think war is childs play or as seen on Tv.

uchkochi:
All u see on Emmanuel T.v(Tb Joshua station) is organized.Somebody i know went there and said there is more death in the church than healing.He also said u are not allowed to video the service with your phone otherwise it will be destroyed.

Tb Joshua is a prophet no doubt but an Evil prophet from the devil.A man that pastors with fear is of the devil.All the evil prophecies are organized from hell so as to make people believe him but guess what his time is up and Heaven is exposing him faster than can be imagined in Jesus Name. A true man of God stands in the gap.Tb Joshua is not from God.Beware ask members of his church they are all bewitched,to confirm why not go there yourself,don't mind what u see on TV its organized.Beware let the Holy spirit guide you and not 'emmanuel Television'.Remain blessed

safariman:
Dora is still the mouthpiece of the Nigerian government and continues to be a part of a government that is "rebranding" bearing in mind with all these mess that is going on.  Is she better off inside the government in FEC or out of the govt and be perceived as someone trying to change things as a maverick?

[size=24pt]the honourable minister for propaganda abi this na propanambra.[/size]  size][/color][/b]

there is something very wrong with this interview. it is like a campaign interview

violent:
She has done nothing to me, i just don't like this sudden idea of "I am saint amongst them" attitude, why work for a government whose ideology and root spells of corruption? in many words, she can qualify as an "hypocrite", where was she all along?. .

If she doesn't like the system, let her quit and join the likes of Falana and Soyinka's in the fight!. . .

she stays in well furnished office building, well furnished apartment, bark out orders, get recognition anywhere as "Minister for Information",  receive jumbo pay and ridiculous allowances and then come out and tell us "the government is corrupt" plsssssssssss not all Nigerians are idíots.

Nkojo Iweala resigned when she discovered that she couldn't play the ball game any longer, i think Dora needs such people as mentors

you talk well.   it takes her type to be in the pdp in the first place so dont be surprise

over hyped and over there as they say.

semid4lyfe:
@ Elrazur
She made a blanket statement that Nigerian music is crap and I'm entitled to express my opinion and call her a F.O.O.L for saying such. . . .EOD! It's funny this is coming from someone who watches Nollywood movies like sey her life depends on it. (Just take a stroll to the TV/Movies section and click on the thread 'What was the last movie you'  watched and you'll see what she's about). . .'fake @$$ wanna post on every thread' & 'popular by force' idiot of NLand. . . . .Mama-gee, keep it up, so gbo?. . . .you no win any NLand award for 2009, you'll definitely win one this year. . .Idiot oshi!

o boy cool na abi you be their malager or na manager dem dey call una?

i have to admit i only touch some naija gospel but it isnt it a common knowledge that most of the thing we call music and films in naija are pure crap?

instead of developing a proper production industry we are busy creating and promoting half baked talents as celebrities as if nigeria depends on glorified tarts passing for actors.

we will live to regret the day we allowed these nonsence in our midst. we are being entertained or robbed to death.

You guys are just blaming the police. But what about the dead victim, what if he had restrained, his life would have been saved. wasnt that the right time for him to go call the police or vigilantes to handle the boys than taking it upon himself? [size=18pt]didnt he trust his wife? wasnt it a party? would they go to a party like that and they would not dance? they would have known better[/size].

you are really a sahara dersert chic. you should not be allowed any where near the human race. i know we have some wicked people amongst us didnt know we have some heartless young women too.
