Some individuals of this country are still making us proud . Congratulations girl.

Actually, three other Nigerians emerged winners in different categories of the competition which includes poetry,non fiction and fiction. Our own Olutimehin emerged the winner in non fiction category(thou overall winner) while Chisom and chukwuebuka emerged winners under poetry and fiction respectively.
Apart from the above, many Nigerians made the final shortlist and we should celebrate them too.

Actually we are killing ourselves with 'tribalism'
We won't go far if we continue this way. Three Nigerians emerged winners in different categories of the competition which includes poetry,non fiction and fiction. Our own Olutimehin emerged the winner in non fiction category(thou overall winner) while Chisom and chukwuebuka emerged winners under poetry and fiction respectively. I expected op not to shun other Nigerians in his post. He didn't even mention them at all and this shows who we are as a nation. Nigeria won't move forward if we continue like this.
Apart from the above, many Nigerians made the final shortlist and we should celebrate them too.
I stand for one Nigeria devoid of 'tribalism'

You just derailed this thread, why don't you go to Lindaikeji's blog and ask her why she didn't include and acknowledge those?

You just derailed this thread with that ignorance

I shared it exactly the way it was written on the website I picked it from.

Delete your post and comment and don't derail this thread

How did I derail the thread? Are you okay at all? Reminding my fellow Nairalanders of other Nigerians worthy to be celebrated translated to derailing your half baked news? Today is Sunday and I have been trying to play it cool with your first mention. Let's respect ourselves now.

You just gave yourself out despite your first poor attempt at feigning ignorance. Lols.

You accused me of what i know nothing about.

I shared the post exactly the way I saw it on the website and I don't even have an idea that there was other categories for the Award.

You are the one exercising your stupidity and ignorance, you should have known I added a link to the post and you should have check it out instead of going ahead to accuse me of what I know nothing about.

You accuse me of what I know nothing about so your post and comment is all wrong.

I'm I the owner of Linda's Ikeji Blog? I just shared the post on Nairaland, nothing more. You should have forward your accusation to Lindaikeji blog not me.

Lols. Alright.
I have seen other news from some blogs that carried other Nigerians along ,hence; my erroneous conclusion that you intentionally cut the part off.

Mabinu.
Will edit my first.
