Nollywood actor, Chinedu Ikedieze popularly called Aki who got conferred with the MFR title by President Jonathan in July 2010 says the national title doesn't have any visible benefits to him. Aki in a talk with Yes! magazine this week said there's 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 break.
