The second decade of this millennium, which started on January 1, 2010, will end on December 31, 2019. It has been filled with momentous and unforgettable events — some pleasant, some non-pleasant and others neither here nor there. thecable.ng/who-is-the-nig… #NigerianOfTheDecade 
There were heroes, heroines, pacesetters, change agents and history makers. So we ask: which Nigerian made the greatest impact in the decade? thecable.ng/who-is-the-nig… #NigerianOfTheDecade
@TonyOElumelu @AlikoDangote @ogundamisi @OgbeniDipo In deciding to pick the Nigerian of the Decade, TheCable editors adopted simple and straightforward criteria. The ideal candidate must have done something positive, unique, important and beneficial to a vast majority of Nigerians. thecable.ng/who-is-the-nig… #NigerianOfTheDecade
@TonyOElumelu @AlikoDangote @ogundamisi @OgbeniDipo It could be in any field — business, politics, sport, entertainment, journalism and health, among others. thecable.ng/who-is-the-nig… #NigerianOfTheDecade
@TonyOElumelu @AlikoDangote @ogundamisi @OgbeniDipo Though @GEJonathan did the unthinkable in 2015 when he lost his re-election bid: he called and congratulated @MBuhari, his opponent, while the final result was yet to be announced. He did not challenge the outcome in court, another rarity in #Nigeria. #NigerianOfTheDecade
@TonyOElumelu @AlikoDangote @ogundamisi @OgbeniDipo @GEJonathan @MBuhari President @MBuhari, meanwhile, shaped the decade in his own way. He became the first opposition candidate to defeat an incumbent president in Nigeria — at fourth attempt. It was previously thought impossible. #NigerianOfTheDecade
@TonyOElumelu @AlikoDangote @ogundamisi @OgbeniDipo @GEJonathan @MBuhari @GarShehu @ProfOsinbajo @OfficialAPCNg Ameyo Stella Shade Adadevoh, the doctor whose sharp mind, quick action and patriotism prevented a certain #Ebola pandemic in Nigeria in 2014. But for her efforts in containing the first case at the hospital, Nigeria would probably have recorded hundreds of thousands of deaths.
@TonyOElumelu @AlikoDangote @ogundamisi @OgbeniDipo @GEJonathan @MBuhari @GarShehu @ProfOsinbajo @OfficialAPCNg What about the enormous impact of Femi Falana, the human rights lawyer, who uses the constitution as the instrument of activism? Since the death of Gani Fawehinmi in 2009, Falana has carried the torch courageously. thecable.ng/who-is-the-nig… #NigerianOfTheDecade
@TonyOElumelu @AlikoDangote @ogundamisi @OgbeniDipo @GEJonathan @MBuhari @GarShehu @ProfOsinbajo @OfficialAPCNg .@seunonigbinde started @BudgITng, using IT tools to promote transparency in public finance. This exposed the national budget scam of 2017 & he is putting public officers on their toes more than ever before with other initiatives aimed at public transparency. #NigerianOfTheDecade
@TonyOElumelu @AlikoDangote @ogundamisi @OgbeniDipo @GEJonathan @MBuhari @GarShehu @ProfOsinbajo @OfficialAPCNg @seunonigbinde @BudgITng In the field of entertainment and show business, @GenevieveNnaji1 broke new grounds, producing Lionheart, the first @Netflix Original from #Nigeria, and getting close to an unprecedented nomination for Oscar’s award but for the language barrier. #NigerianOfTheDecade
@TonyOElumelu @AlikoDangote @ogundamisi @OgbeniDipo @GEJonathan @MBuhari @GarShehu @ProfOsinbajo @OfficialAPCNg @seunonigbinde @BudgITng @GenevieveNnaji1 @netflix Surely, terror and the war on terror defined a chunk of Nigeria within the decade. The Nigerian soldier, fighting under the most atrocious circumstances, has saved the country from being overrun by the #BokoHaram insurgents. thecable.ng/who-is-the-nig… #NigerianOfTheDecade
@TonyOElumelu @AlikoDangote @ogundamisi @OgbeniDipo @GEJonathan @MBuhari @GarShehu @ProfOsinbajo @OfficialAPCNg @seunonigbinde @BudgITng @GenevieveNnaji1 @netflix @DefenceInfoNG @PoliceNG @NigAirForce @NigNavyToday @fredwave Abubakar Abdullahi, an imam, saved the lives of 262 Christians in the face of an ethno-religious crisis in Plateau state, hiding them in his mosque. It is stranger than fiction. thecable.ng/who-is-the-nig… #NigerianOfTheDecade
@TonyOElumelu @AlikoDangote @ogundamisi @OgbeniDipo @GEJonathan @MBuhari @GarShehu @ProfOsinbajo @OfficialAPCNg @seunonigbinde @BudgITng @GenevieveNnaji1 @netflix @DefenceInfoNG @PoliceNG @NigAirForce @NigNavyToday @fredwave .@DapsyOly, publisher of @PremiumTimesng, the online newspaper, led the movement for the rebirth of investigative journalism in Nigeria and has succeeded to a large extent using the media to promote accountability and transparency in government. #NigerianOfTheDecade
