The dilemma of 1927 re-presented itself last October.

The editors of TIME magazine were confronted with a dearth of news, which made the gloomy spectre of choice of cover subject for that December holiday period more real.

It is not very often you have such a galaxy of eminent Nigerians under one roof.

Awardees at Vanguard Personality of the Year, 2015 Awards, which held on Friday, at the Eko Hotel, Victoria Island, Lagos, had these to say:

RADIATING influence, affluence and royalty they commenced arriving the Eko Hotel and Suites venue of the Vanguard Personality Award at 5pm.

The cream of Nigeria’s political and economic players on Friday evening, converged at the Eko Hotel, Victoria Island, to to witness The Vanguard Personality of the Year, 2015 Awards, with President Muhammadu Buhari and his predecessor, Goodluck Jonathan as joint winners of the Personality of the Year, 2015.

Names have a way of affecting an individual. A man’s path and career could be tied, some how, to his name. Perhaps when he was growing up, he might have said that he would, one day, become a colossus on the Nigeria banking scene. He dreamt of being a change agent that would revolutionise the Nigerian banking industry. He had a discerning mind and a knack for figures.

WHEN Major General Muhammadu Buhari was announced as the winner of the 2015 presidential election, on March 31 and eventually sworn-in as president on May 29, 2015, it meant many things to different people. To the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, it meant loss of power after 16 years in the saddle. To then President Goodluck Jonathan, he became the first incumbent to lose re-election in Nigeria.

Whichever way you look at the 2015 presidential election, ultimately, Dr Goodluck Ebele Jonathan was a gallant contestant; he did the unfamiliar in this part of terra firma — for the first time in Nigeria, an incumbent President accepted defeat. Again, a President seen by many as weak actually reached into the recesses of his psyche and drew inner strength to unflex taut muscles and let go, preferring the way of peace to that of conflict, the beginning of which all may know and see, but whose end not all will see and know.
