Very interesting indeed!The man who made the first indigenous film of independent Nigeria, Kongis's Harvest, based on Soyinka's play of same title, Francis Oladele is omitted. The man who brought Nigerian theatre to international limelight, late Duro Ladiipo is missing. The man who midwifed the Nigeria cinema era, Ola Balogun is not in the list. The man who spearheaded what became Nollywood, a Yoruba theatre practitioner, Late Alade Aromire is omitted and we have Kenneth Nnebue who came 4 years after him to be honored. The man who routed Biafra, Gen. Benjamin Adekunle "Black Scorpion" is not on the list. And so many other names...It must be a hoax indeed!Shalom!Diran

This is interesting indeed. First why was the list limited to 100 knowing fully well that it could limit the choices we have to make. Ifejuna l think was the first Nigerian to win a medal for the country. You are right about the Kid but even worse is that no civil servant of the first or second generation were found worthy to be honoured. People like Simon Adebo, Allison Ayida Jerome Udoji. I can't also believe that people like Profs Adedayo Adedeji, Aboyade Cole, Billy Dudley are not on the list so also Rev Father Dennis Slatary, Adebaju and Amachere . These last three deserve recognition for the foundation they laid for our football
