Good day ladies and gentlemen. First, I want to appreciate you for making this a success. I must say, I am deeply moved by your acts in order to see how we can move this Literature section forward. I want to thank you all for taking out time to participate in this event, despite the poor planning. As you are all aware, this isn't perfect, but we can be better. In my bid to quickly do something this important in this section, I committed errors that normally would mar this event, but I am glad you all overlooked my shortcomings and still gave your unrestricted support. I must say, this is comforting. Thank you once again, and this is coming from my heart. A big thanks goes to all those who also in one way assisted in making this successful. Thank you for not allowing me to bare the whole burden. I am very grateful. Okay, enough of this speech, I will give a better one tomorrow. Now, here are the Top Nominees for the Literature Person Of The Year award. Ritababe. Larrysun. Mattkent. Repogirl. DonKross1. These are the top 5 nominees out of the total 47 nominees. The winner will be made public by 7:30pm on the 5th of Jan. 2016. Please, forgive me for all the irregularities. See you all then. Thank you. God bless you, and God bless Nigeria. |

ritababe:Yes, I wanted that also, but since this was put together in a hurry, and since this is the first time, I thought people won't respond. I know there are a lots of irregularities, but I can promise, by God's grace, the next event will be better. Thank you for your support. |

Good evening Ladies and gentlemen. You are welcome to the most prestigious event. I want to appreciate everyone for coming. It is a great honour. Okay, let me give a small speech. Abeg no vex. We are gathered here to honour everyone in this section, and to give recognition to that person who we deem has been outstanding in the past year. I must say, everyone deserve this award. The Literature Person Of The Year award is given to that person who has been influential in this section for the past year, not just with the written stories, but also with impacting and helping other people, but then, what is Literature? Literature is a term used to describe written and sometimes spoken material. Derived from the Latinlitteratura meaning "writing formed with letters," literature most commonly refers to works of the creative imagination, including poetry, drama, fiction, non-fiction, journalism, and in some instances, song. Why do we read literature? Simply put, literature represents the culture and tradition of a language or a people. It's difficult to precisely define, though many have tried, but it's clear that the accepted definition of literature is constantly changing and evolving. For many, the word literature suggests a higher art form, merely putting words on a page doesn't necessarily mean creating literature. But what we consider to be literature can vary from one generation to the next. For instance, Herman Melville's 1851 novel Moby Dick was considered a failure by contemporary reviewiers. However, it's since been recognized as a master work, and is frequently cited as one of the best works of western literature for its thematic complexity and use of symbolism to tell the story of Captain Ahab and the white whale. By reading Moby Dick in the present day, we can gain a fuller understanding of literary traditions in Melville's time. In this way, literature is more than just a historical or cultural artifacts, but can serve as an introduction to a new world of experience. Why is literature important? Ultimately, we may discover meaning in literature by looking at what the author writes or says, and how he or she says it. We may interpret and debate an author's message by examining the words he or she chooses in a given novel or work, or observing which character or voice serves as the connection to the reader. In academia, this decoding of the text is often carried out through the use of literary theory, using a mythological, sociological, psychological, historical, or other approach to better understand the context and depth of a work. Works of literature, at their best, provide a kind of blueprint of human civilisation. From the writings of ancient civilisations like Egypt, and China, to Greek philosophy and poetry; from the epics of Homer to the plays of Shakespeare, from Jane Austen and Charlotte Bronte to Maya Angelou, works of literature give insight and context to all the world's societies. Whatever critical paradigm we use to discuss and analyse it, literature is important to us because it speaks to us, it is universal, and it affects us on a deeply personal level. Even when it is ugly, literature is beautiful. At this point, we are here to recognise that person that brings this long speech I have written closer to us. Thank you for reading this long and boring speech. |

Before I make public the winner, I want to apologise for all my shortcomings during this event process. In my bid to quickly rush this, I did not plan this very well, and the consequences have been slapping me in the face ever since, but I managed to see how we can go forward with this and plan for a better one. I am to sincerely apologise to everyone who believe this event was organised poorly. I know it was. But it can only get better with your help. Next year event, by God's help would be better and bigger than this. I can assure you that. Plans would be made public on how that will happen. So, please, accept my apology. |
