National honours

Mr President deserves congratulations for bestowing national honours on four ordinary, yet extraordinary Nigerians:
Mr Imeh Usuah, a heroically honest taxi driver who returned N18 million that was left in his cab by a foreigner; Mr Onuh Isaac Michael, the diligent Chief Steward at the Presidential Villa, who has served nine Heads of State; Corporal Solomon Dauda, a dancing Abuja traffic warden who approaches his duties with a cheerful dedication that puts smiles on the faces of the motorists he entertains; and Mr Taiwo Akinkunmi, an elderly gent who designed our flag.
Usuah, Michael and Dauda also got free three-bedroom apartments, while Akinkunmi was promised a Presidential Special Assistant’s salary for the rest of his life.It was SO refreshing to watch these regular folks, who haven’t enjoyed cosily privileged VIP existences, being recognised so generously and publicly.
