Why are you men always nominating men for the man of the year award, are you saying there is no woman in Nigeria that has made meaningful contributions to the development of Nigeria, a woman must be on the list of those to be considered. The conference room was silent foe a while
 
VANGUARD  Editor at their annual meeting on the Man of the year award had heated eating and with passion, Mrs Funmi Komolafe stood her ground for the women folk. Why are you men always nominating men for the man of the year award, are you saying there is no woman in Nigeria that has made meaningful contributions to the development of Nigeria, a woman must be on the list of those to be considered. The conference room was silent foe a while but for the intervention of the Editor broke the silence, Okey you nominate. Without hesitation the name Ifueko Omoigui Okauru came. Her profile and record achievement immediately justified Funmi’s argument and after the debate she came third on the list of those considered for man of the year after beating several men to it.
