THISDAY AWARDS 2013 IS FOR VALENTINE DAY

PRINCE NDUKA OBAIGBENA

This year's edition of the ThisDay Awards an annual ritual from the stable of the publishers of ThisDay is set for this Thursday, February 14, 2013. Incidentally that's St. Valentine's Day. Or like many like to tag it ''Lovers Day'' as if all other days are not good for love. 

For the first time in a long while, there's not very much buzz around this particular one, we do not understand why. Unlike in the past when the media is agog with news about the upcoming award, there seem to be a perplexed feel about this 2013 edition. 

We hear the award is back to Lagos and the venue for the Thursday's event is Eko Hotel. This year's award is celebrating to high heavens, those wonderful people we have all neglected- Teachers & Educationists. The bedrock of Nations successes in all areas of endeavors, finally someone wants to reward their hard-work, so its no more about their rewards in heaven. But herein first and in the afterlife later. 

Kudos ThisDay!
