2. Life pension

3. VIP lounge at the Airpirt

4. In the event of death, Federal government bears the burden of the burial.

Etc

sainty2k3:
We've heard of national Honour award being bestowed on good citizens and indeed deserving Nigerians, a recent example is that of super eagle team that won the 2013 edition of Afcon, they were given MON, the captain, OON and coach CON.

My question is what are the benefits u derived from being honoured with this awards, socially, economically and so on. Pls anybody with better knowledge can enlighten me on this or is it just for show and prestige?

Thanks, waiting for your response

So all these footballers and movie stars are on life pension?
Hope you are sure

National Awards provide several benefits, including recognition, prestige, and validation of one's achievements in a particular field. They can enhance the visibility and credibility of the recipient, increase their career opportunities, and inspire others to strive for excellence.
Copied.

For show offs and personal selfish gratification

Fryx:
Honors are conferred on men of outstanding character. It’s to encourage others to be like them.

For example, most scientists study for the passion and not the money. To reward them, the Nobel price is conferred on some of them.

Money is not everything. The mood of whoever you are ruling over is as important as the money you are helping them make. What makes us human is first within us, every other thing is secondary.

in summary, there is nothing considerable it confers on the recipients

what are the "etc"?

what is "diplomatic tiers"?

OboOlora:
Nothing!
It is as useless as P in psycho.
Imagine someone like Teni the musician having an MON and Nnamdi Kanu doesn't have?

National award for an active secessionist? How does that sound?

what visibility and credibility do the recipients have?

do you have any example of any recipient that enjoyed new career opportunities as a result of this awards?

The only pride is presidential handshake picture and hanging in your sitting room for visitors to see

And what do you know about prestige?

The thing is, you can use it as a leverage to acquire other social benefits. That VIP could be among dem!

shadrach77:
I'm not even sure they have access to VIP lounge at airports. Where did you guys get that from? It's just for prestige otherwise it's useless

MON without EY

National honors like MON, OON, and CON aren’t just for show; they come with some meaningful benefits. Socially, they elevate the recipient’s status, bringing respect and admiration, and can open doors to high-level connections. Economically, these awards boost a person’s reputation, which can lead to better career opportunities, endorsements, and sometimes even appointments to national roles. Honorees are often seen as role models, which adds value if they’re in public-facing professions.

While there’s no direct financial reward tied to these awards, the recognition can bring opportunities that have economic value. Plus, it creates a sense of pride and accomplishment, acknowledging one’s contributions to the nation. So, it’s more than just prestige—it’s recognition that can positively impact one’s social standing and career.

Correct. Any letter signed by you with those any of those abbreviations after your name will be looked at twice, whether it's a loan application, a request for a favor or indulgence, a plea on behalf of someone else, a project proposal, a contract bid, whatever.

Those abbreviations instantly tell the recipient that you are "somebody."
And in naija, such things count, even if they are shallow.

Hmmm... I am a Public Servant. Yesterday, I was asked this same question among other ones during my Promotion Exam at the Public Service Institute, Kubwa.

Mention the entitlements of a Recipient of National Honors Award.

This was what I wrote:

1. He will receive a cash prize
2. He will receive a certificate
3. He will receive a medal
4. He will not have to join long Queues at the Airport.
5. He will receive a Presidential handshake
6. He will not have to do NYSC National Service if he has not done so already.
7. He will have the privilege of using the designation (GCFR) and the like after his name.

I have been searching everywhere to verify what I wrote but surprising such information is difficult to come by.

I pray I am correct.

these answers looks like that of a pry 6
Student..rubbish as usual...if ur office is in the northern part of Nigeria u will definitely pass but not in south south

Most important when you want to come out for local government chairman election and they write them beside your names

Can't you see that this once great forum is gradually but steadily dying?
There is nothing more here anymore. Seun and his bigoted group made it possible.
From swearing an oath to contribute in a Muslim tread, to the ethnic bashing here, kids below 16 misbehaving, the forum is dead awaiting it's funeral.

I've been here from inception and I must say that the forum decline has been monumental.

Noothing last forever except the Creator.

It enhances your status in the society and open doors of opportunities for you as an individual when your national honor(s) is(are) attached after your full name.

I so hate this thing. Atiku gave Genevieve three. Till today, I’m wondering what they mean.

sainty2k3:
I seriously wish to know what those titles are all about, let's see if someone can provide any other benefit of this national honour apart from 'the prestige'

The National Honour is meant for more than this few:
it is meant to/for motivation (honouring a person with outstanding performance) for others to look up to.
honour people that proved themselves worthy in the society (like a teacher that went all the way to impress).
honour people that came out selfless, went on to sacrifice just save a person/situation.

Just a few reasons but the award has been bastardized in Nigeria (it is meant for criminals.

Listen up, ladies and gents. I have gotten 2 National Awards.

1. For Nigeria- 1990 Gideon Orkar Coup. For singlehandedly foiling it. Files are still classified. Can't say more.

2. For Biafur0 - for single-handedly becoming a chief exporter of sem3n to the yammites

God bless Nigeria 🇳🇬 🙏 🙌

He must have been an efcc official in Equatorial gunea

Ringstonemasks:
Nobel price recipients are paid millions of dollars

Get ur contexts right

You are only arguing like illiterate and uninformed, where did he say, Nobel not given prize money?

Get ur head right, trying to leaving ur life for honour and not money, money.

Money stop at death, while honour outleave human beings.

Nothing... Just an Ego booster
