RE: Member of The Order Of New Zealand, "ONZ"

in #history6 years ago

The ONZ award must be a grand one for Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth to be one of the awardees.
Kudos! To Sonja Margaret Loveday. He must have been the first to be awarded with ONZ award at 6th February, 1987.
One more thing. Women make a good number of those awarded. That's remarkable. Women are making great achievements in the world, Kudos! To all the hard working women in the world.
This is great history. Well done @len.george

Sort:  

Because we were a British Empire member when there was an Empire to be a member of
our awards are based on the British System.
Even our own awards are settled by the Queen if there is any doubt who should get what,
[GNZM] coming up soon.
NZ was the first country to give Women the vote [just before my time] on 13th September 1893.
We have lead and tried to lead the way ever since.
Thanks for your continued interest.

It's a pleasure. I get to learn some history and you are really generous, I must say 😁, thanks.
Never knew you were a woman. Well you guys a trying to lead the way like you said, I am not sure you guys are actually leading ever since. Is it?

If it a good idea, free beer or food, there will be a Kiwi in the front of the Que.

Kiwi? Friend, I don't understand. I am not sure of what it means. Is it an acronym?

The Kiwi is a native bird from New Zealand. This is the only place it comes from. Because of that, people from NZ are called Kiwis, as a nice nickname.
The other thing we are famous for is the All Blacks, Rugby Union football team.

Cool! What a nickname. New Zealanders are nicknamed after a bird. Mhhmhhm that's lovely. Going to look for an image of the Kiwi bird. I'm sure it must be a pretty one.
Are New Zealanders black? I thought Kiwis are white. I'll check out the Rugby union football team later too.
Thanks for your replies. They're sweet like a bird 😊

And Friend, What will you like to know about Nigerians? Ask me and I'll tell you. I'd love to

have a look there, it is a start.
NZ is about 75% white European [English] descent, 15% Maori [dark skinned who claim to be the first people in NZ], 11% Asian [Indian, Chinese ets] and 7 % Pacific Islanders [Fiji, Samoa, Tonga]
Rugby was supposed to start when a player thought he could pick up the ball and run faster than they were kicking it,
look up "Webb Ellis. and "Webb Ellis Cup"
as for Nigeria, I think it is on the African Continent, and that's about it,
suggestion: start a series of posts about Nigeria, where, what, who, why only do a small section each post, it makes it last longer and gets you more readers/money, at the end you will have taught more people about your place.
