What Are The Socio-Economic Importance Of National Honours: MON, OON, MFR, Etc? by sainty2k3(m): 11:56pm On Feb 19, 2013

We've heard of national Honour award being bestowed on good citizens and indeed deserving Nigerians, a recent example is that of super eagle team that won the 2013 edition of Afcon, they were given MON, the captain, OON and coach CON.

My question is what are the benefits u derived from being honoured with this awards, socially, economically and so on. Pls anybody with better knowledge can enlighten me on this or is it just for show and prestige?

Thanks, waiting for your response

Aside the VIP lounges at the airport, any other thing? Again, do they fly free of charge after they flaunt the national honours at check in? .

@OP, I have also asked same question but havent gotten satisfactory answers yet.

I seriously wish to know what those titles are all about, let's see if someone can provide any other benefit of this national honour apart from 'the prestige'

Hmmm... I am a Public Servant. Yesterday, I was asked this same question among other ones during my Promotion Exam at the Public Service Institute, Kubwa.

Mention the entitlements of a Recipient of National Honors Award.

This was what I wrote:

1. He will receive a cash prize
2. He will receive a certificate
3. He will receive a medal
4. He will not have to join long Queues at the Airport.
5. He will receive a Presidential handshake
6. He will not have to do NYSC National Service if he has not done so already.
7. He will have the privilege of using the designation (GCFR) and the like after his name.

I have been searching everywhere to verify what I wrote but surprising such information is difficult to come by.

I pray I am correct.

Honors are conferred on men of outstanding character. It’s to encourage others to be like them.

For example, most scientists study for the passion and not the money. To reward them, the Nobel prize is conferred on some of them.

Money is not everything. The mood of whoever you are ruling over is as important as the money you are helping them make. What makes us human is first within us, every other thing is secondary.

After 11 years plus someone remembered to push this to frontpage, Curse finally broken

National honors like MON, OON, and CON aren’t just for show; they come with some meaningful benefits. Socially, they elevate the recipient’s status, bringing respect and admiration, and can open doors to high-level connections. Economically, these awards boost a person’s reputation, which can lead to better career opportunities, endorsements, and sometimes even appointments to national roles. Honorees are often seen as role models, which adds value if they’re in public-facing professions.

While there’s no direct financial reward tied to these awards, the recognition can bring opportunities that have economic value. Plus, it creates a sense of pride and accomplishment, acknowledging one’s contributions to the nation. So, it’s more than just prestige—it’s recognition that can positively impact one’s social standing and career.

Wen you are in the midst of Nobel, Rich and Famous,.....you will understand the deep meaning of Chief, Dr, Senator, SAN, Prof, ex-this and Ex-that.

Meanwhile, among the common, lowly and hopeless, those titles are worthless and of no meaning.

....... MASLOW'S HIERARCHY OF NEEDS!

I don't think that there's any financial benefit attached. Just the privilege of attaching the prefix only.

My Igbo people actually prefers MON to GCON or CFR (higher awards) because it remains EY to become MONEY grin
