In the traditional African communal structure, recognitions are given to people who are high achievers and role models for others,
The form of recognition used would usually be the conferment of a title to a person which can be compared to the conferment of a knighthood in Western Europe. To attain this, the person's achievements are taken into consideration and better still, there is a character and integrity check to complement it.
The question is, are the people we are recognising in our communities worthy of the titles and honour we bestow on them? Are the right people been recognised or are people buying their way to recognition?
