MFR FOR STEPHANIE OKEREKE & 5 OTHERS


While some like acclaimed Poet, Novelist, Critic Professor Chinua Achebe acknowledged as one of the greatest living African writers & noted Politician and a member of the National Assembly-Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila would scorn the National Honors and rightly so, we believe their reasons for the rejection of the National honors, twice by the Professor were valid. Many others are so full of joy, that their nation has recognized them and rightly honored them.

PRESIDENT GOODLUCK EBELE JONATHAN & STEPHANIE OKEREKE

STEPHANIE OKEREKE

One of those so honored was delectable actress- Stephanie Okereke who like many in the recent honors list became a Member of the Order of the Federal Republic, the beautiful actress was escorted to the awards ceremony by her beau-Linus Idahosa-GMD/CEO of  Del-York International. The Nigerian National Honors are a set of orders and decorations conferred on Nigerians and friends of Nigeria annually. The MFR is the 2nd to the last in the hierarchy of National Honors conferred yearly.

MFR MEDAL
Apart from Stephanie Okereke, others from Nollywood conferred with the same medals were the indefatigable Olu Jacobs-the veteran thespian, Genevieve Nnaji Africa's own Julia Roberts, Kanayo O. Kanayo who we hear is more of a politician now, pint sized actor of note Osita Iheme aka Paw Paw and foremost producer, writer and director Amaka Igwe making 6 in all from Nollywood. At-least, they were recognized. Curiously no one from the music industry was thought to be worthy of this year's National Honors, maybe better luck next year.
