I dont enjoy and get any special benefits as an MFR- Chinedu Ikedieze
Nollywood actor, Chinedu Ikedieze popularly known as Aki
who got conferred with the MFR title by President Jonathan in July 2010
says the national title does not come with any visible benefits to him. Aki
in a chat with Yes! magazine this week said there is no monetary value or
special benefits to the title as obtained in western countries.
"The only joy in it is the recognition. When I am traveling
and I get to the Airport, I get special preference and recognition.
Apart from that, I don't get any other thing. I don't get paid, I don't
get any special benefits as an MFR. As an MFR, I hold the same position
with some of those who are Members of the British Empire (MBE) and they
have some special benefits in the international community and honourary
recognitions but those things are not here" he said.
Aki was also asked if he ever wonders why he was created in the form he is. His answer after the cut..
"Am
I the one that created myself? Why would I ask myself such a
question? You can only ask such a question when you are frustrated about
life or if you are tired of life. But in my own case I am not. When you
wake up in the morning and you have something to eat, you have people
who can smile at you and you smile back as well, then what else do you
need? Then you go to bed, you sleep and you seldom go to the hospital, so
which other gift is more important than that? As far as I am
concerned, that is the greatest gift. There are some people who have all
the money, cars, houses and all the things they want, but they are sick.
They don't enjoy the money. So the perfect gift for me is good health".
