Just curious to know because I also see post-humous awards!

Maxymilliano:
Why excluding Dele Momodu ?
Exactly. That was when I drew my conclusions about how petty and vindictive Tinubu is. That singular move also diminished the weight of the national honour and what it symbolises. He excluded Dele Momodu simply because he refused to sing the mandate song. He only now rewards it to sycophants, cronies and mandate standers. Even Chagoury got one of the highest in the land, GCON.

Babajide "Olofofo-Oju" is one of BAT's media boys from a long time ago even works for his media house...nothing new. With all the "Ganusi" he has bedn doing maybe if BAT comes back in 2027 he will get one of those his compensatory ambassadorial postings to Burundi or Nepal grin

Otitoju was a man that lied about Port Harcourt refinery. A man whose lies on TVC is unprecedented. As for Joe Igbokwe, his noise has paid off. Odumakin husband will be turning in the grave. As for others, Let our conscience judge us. grin grin grin grin grin
You don't know Otitoju. Find out were he started when investigative journalism was alive in this country. It was as risky as being in the military. Many paid with their lives. Kids of today will not understand this.

As for refinery he reported that it worked and others confirmed it. The present GMD of NNPC didn't say anything contrary. He only said that the operation wasn't profitable and shut them down.

he did not honour late fela kuti then I can say Tinubu is a cunning politician that knows how to honour those supporting his adulterated politics

When I saw the senators distancing themselves from Oshomole because of his comments on the NNPC, it was then that I understand that the Nigeria problem is institutionalized. Imagine after spending hugely on the turnaround maintenance of the Port Harcourt refinery, we saw them deceive us that works were done, up till today, the refinery is not working.
And the senators are making it clear that they can never probe the system.
It's so sad. That we even pay so much for this ineptitude! NNPC couldn't account for Two Hundred and Ten Trillion Naira. The claim defunct banks went away with the money and 103trillion lost to Tanker Drivers grin.
Criminal Akpabio was not comfortable with Oshiomole on the matter at all. He kept shutting him down. It was so sad to watch. We go still suffer wella for this country and in the hands of the deranged men.

What kind of democracy are we practicing today? A system where the presidency has all the powers and the national Assembly is nothing but a rubber stamp and the judiciary? That one is a discussion for another day.
Don't deceive yourself. Nigeria has no democracy. What we have is a system where one criminal minded godfather imposes his will on the people.
We just love living a lie in this country.

The Civilians mentioned are truly bastions of the democracy we all enjoy today. They fought the military with their pens. They went underground to continue the fight. They made IBB, Abacha, and Abubakar to become restless until we achieved democracy. They sacrificed a lot. The News, Tell magazine, Tempo, The Guardian, Punch etc stood their grounds to reject the jackboots called military regime. Through investigative journalism, write-ups, articles etc, they fought the military without firing a gunshot. The Civil Liberties Organisation became a pain in the neck of the military boys, peaceful demonstrations became a daily agitations until they couldn't hold it anymore and succombed to the agitations of the populace and on May 29, 1999, they bowed out in shame for democracy to thrive
