ReplyDeleteBefore they present these people, they need tell us why we should vote for them, how they'v helped the country "Nigeria" and its people...
ReplyDeleteThe list is getting watery every year.No suprises,as the country itself is winding down. SMH.

ReplyDeleteThey should rename it "person" of the year since it has both men and women.

ReplyDeleteNone of the above. My man of the year is my husband who has taken care of the kids and I despite the harsh economic times. None of these people has impacted my life in a positive way so ..........

ReplyDeleteNigerians as always praises the same crooks that ruin the country. Nduka ? are you serious......lol
ReplyDeletewho is dat idiot asking wat ngozi iweala's name is doin dere? If u dnt knw wat 2 say beta shut up. Linda publish dis post oh.
ReplyDeleteLinda, Atedo is Chairman, StanIBTC. Please correct
ReplyDeleteThey should call it Person of the Year. And how come only heads of business or government are nominated? So lesser people can't be inspirational?
ReplyDeleteNonsense award! none of them have done anything... most of them have helped impoverish nigerians.... whats did stupid award for?
ReplyDeleteThis is a rubbish list, how have they positively impacted young Nigerians lrt alone Nigeria as a whole. This silverbird ppl sef. Rubbish pageants, stupid station and Ben' list, total crap.
ReplyDeleteAbeeg an calling Ben now, need my name to be on that list! How muchhhhh.Ben state ur price.
ReplyDeleteGowon is still alive? I really don't care for these boys and girls.
ReplyDeleteI see Okonjo and her red lipstick wey she rub for mouth with her little finger is also nominated.
Good luck to other ones.
I vote 4 Dangote cos he provided employment 4 d youths...
ReplyDeleteThis one na list? Let's move on to somthing else please.
ReplyDeleteMen, I love the comments I have read so far. I didnt know you guys share in my opinion as well. When I first saw the nominees, I was like jeez, what is this? If I'm to choose, I would go for Dangote cos I feel he's done STH for the economy even if him dey monopolise everything.
ReplyDeleteThe people I feel shouldnt be in the list are:
1) Olusegun Aganga:What did he do for the country to merit being nominated. When he was finance minister, I didnt feel his impact; even Sanusi outshone him.
2) Ngz Okonjo-Iweala:I cant see what she's done to merit being nominated. If she had been nominated @ d time when the debt relief was granted, it for make sense but now?
3) Nduka Obaigbena:What did he do exactly? Okay, he owns a massive entertainment centre in ABJ, a newspaper and bringing foreign artists in Nigeria.
Why is Jega's name missing in the list?
How much did these people pay? Smh.
ReplyDeleteSince we werent asked to choose from the options, my man of the year is my dad. *Grins*
