It is not just enough to give us the number of applicants and the number shortlisted.
ReplyDeleteWho were these people who applied? Who were the people shortlisted?
It is only by listing them for Nigerians to see that we can weigh who against who. Lawyers know themselves and the academic community is aware of who is who.
The award has become so discredited in recent years. Everything Nigerian gets corrupted! Shame on us all.😞
Yoruba dominated list announced by Hausa man. Because the Ibos has their share more than the entire North, nobody will abuse PMB/APC in this issue.
