  51. i think the Silverbird man of the year should be Mrs. Ngozi Okonjo Iwealla for her selfless,transparent,unique,sincere, and administrative sagacity in the delivery of her official duties as the Minister of finance of the nation. Also for her powerful n uncompromising stand during the OIL SUBSIDY REMOVAL DEBATE and her solid implementation of the agreed policy...however, Her dedication to her job was posed with a threat recently via the abduction of her mother. thank you

  55. Ngozi iweala is trying as much as she can to be among the group of men,but the truth is that she will remain a lady no matter d achievements she makes.but she is reali trying cos her actions are normally true and just and I like her for that;unlike the real men who do things for their own benefit and that of their family.soo I think ngozi iweala should be given the award.

    ReplyDelete
  56. As far as i'm concern none of them deserves it bcos they r all thieves.

  57. Non of the above!!!.more names please

    ReplyDelete
  58. What is the achievement that landed them the nomination in the first place. As far as i am concerned none of them are deserving of such award. This award has lost its credibility. why is it Man of the year? It should be Politician of the Year since thats the area they draw nominees from.

  76. As far as I am concerned, none of them deserve it. Silverbird should go round schools and pick a dedicated teacher (based on polls done by the students)to be the man or woman of the year. I respect good and dedicated teachers. They contribute a great deal to what a lot of us become in life.

    I am not a teacher (I am a lawyer) but I love and respect my children's teachers. They give so much and I feel they deserve a lot more than what they get in return. It is high time we start appreciating the next door person who has made a difference in society!.

  79. Honestly speaking,none of them deserve to win any award.The pple paraded here are a bunch of politicians who are embezzling our common wealth nd impoverishing us. Silverbird is pathetic,they should go out there and look for pple who are really making a difference in the lives of human beings,then we can vote.They can take a cue from CNN'S CNN HEROES.

    ReplyDelete
  80. none. they r all corrupt people. Tinubu especially. Linda, post my comment o

    ReplyDelete
  81. The "man" of the year for me are two people who have done exceptional well in the circle of thier influence: Asiwaju Bola Hamed Tinubu for leading on the opposition voice we have in Nigeria, giving our hard earned democracy a face n a vioce. Adeshina Akinwunmi the Agric. Minister, he is egually doing a very good job in his ministry, we might not be "seeing" what he is doing now, but before 20:20:20 we will al be gratfull for in input in the Agric sector. For me any of them is good to go.

    ReplyDelete
  82. To be candid, 90% of those on this list don't deserve any award let alone man-of-the-year recognition. Are we talking about a man whose son launders money? Or a politician that is hellbent on commandeering all the resources of Lagos State? Or a minister who is stealthily on the line of bourgeoisie economic principles, someone who doesn't care about the plight of Nigerians on the scarcity of resources at our beck and call? Or the same men in black without any plain direction of ensuring security? Or a minister of planning that has nothing to offer but the talk-show that any Nigerian can organise? Or Minister of agriculture whose focus is directed towards that small-holder rain-fed farmers who are the real Nigerians? Yet we dont know where the Zimbabwean farmers who were given large tract of land for farming are, we haven't seen their products, in fact there is no news about their activities.
    The NDLEA man deserves some commendation even though the Baba-Suwe episode wont leave our heads easily. So someone should tell us what is going on.

  92. I'm torn between Mohammed Abubakar (IGP) and Akinwunmi Adesina (AGRIC MINISTER).
    However, I will give it to Akinwunmi Adesina for the agric revolution. It's as if we have never had an agric minister before him. God bless you, man!

    ReplyDelete
  101. None of them deserve such honor..I blame silverbird anyway not them.But among all I will prefer Tinubu.
    The Governor should tell his son to return govt money they have been looting first. Silverbird, please nominate people who real deserve an honor in case of subsequent awards (don't look at what you are going to gain from people before nominating them) because none of Nigeria present Leaders (looters) deserve award from any reputable organization..

    ReplyDelete
  102. None of em deserves it;

    Tinubu - Forming an undemocratic Tin god in the south west
    Lamido - Laundering money

    Inspector of Police - Not been able to capture or resolve Boko haram or any kidnapping issue

    Okonjo - Subsidy!!!!

    Adeshina - dont know anything about agriculture in nigeria , so that knocks him out!

    Giade - if u catch someone with drugs, saw it in xray machine in his stomach, purged his stomach and still did not see the drug! Dont think u deserve any form of award!!!!

    Basically no one deserves the man of the year but the ordinary Nigerian who has been able to survive the year under the harsh weather imposed by this same people! and maybe the ex-minister for power!

    ReplyDelete
  115. playing stupid games and winning silly prizes...Naija remains a comedy of errors. Any politician with a conscience would assess the state of the nation and ask to be removed from that list before it goes public.

    @ anon December 20, 2012 10:37 AM

    you asked about the farmers from zimbabwe, I read about their ordeal in Nigeria from the financial times in November...all of them have packed up and left because of lack of basic infrastructure and the kwara state government failed on its promises, fake/undelivered fertilizer,300km road trips to mill and deliver product with bad roads and corrupt cops, erratic power supply,unreliable staff etc...the list is endless. Saddest shame

    A BEAUTIFUL COUNTRY WITH BAD PEOPLE

    ReplyDelete
  120. THe minister of agriculture should be awarded the honor. The country is in financial mess so that excludes Okonjo Wahala.
