For a long time she was the only Nigerian public figure I could look up to.

She was truly a shining star and a point of light for many.

She will never be forgotten.

Prof Dora Akunyili was a true definition of a rare Gem, the most outstanding public servant in my time. I didnt know NAFDAC had a responsibility until she came on board. Dora is one of the reasons I believe in Nigeria, a woman that fought not just criminals but her own brothers, she stood her grounds, no compromise, I must do my job right.

Nigeria first was always her response. This how it should be done, she always sang. Little wonder she raised 6 outstanding professionals. Dora can never die, she lives in my heart and many other hearts.

Who wouldn't enjoy a life like Doras, she received so much love from so many people. Her labour was not in vain and she saw it b4 bowing out. Thank you Dr Chike for allowing your wife serve us, thanks to her children for sharing their mum with us. She was Mummy to all of us cos she was willing to give her life to save us. I am not sure I can do that, I don't know people who will do that. I pray God to give me and many other Nigerians your kind of courage.

And again, Thanks for appearing at the National Conference, only someone and a people who understands and appreciates the vanity of life will do that. You were not ashamed though frail, I cried all night till the day I heard you voice, it was Doras voice, this is my DNA I said, she's back and better, I prayed for you, we all prayed and God answered and saved your soul.

Sleep DNA, we will see you in the morning.

Nkem Dora AKUNYILI: A RARE GEM



Oh death! Why are thou so cruel?
A virtuous soul you captured without mercy
They say you are blind but I doubt
Cos' you steal without warning those we need most
As mortals, we know we are in debt to host you someday
But, must you strike at your own time?




In our voyage, some of us chose the path of avarice
Some others opted for the coverage of selflessness
Mrs. Akunyili made the most of her opportunities
Service! Service!! Service!!! Was her calling
Heaven can attest she did it well without fear or favour
Oh death! Why hast thou walked stealthily to take a fine soul?




We could cry a lake, we could cry a river
The living must assure the Akunyili's to take the pains to calm their liver
Yesterday, it was the Emir of Kano; a good man
Death! Your disservice to humanity is a rude reminder that
Everyday we live, undiluted sincerity should we continue to give
Materialism is temporal; goodness is permanent

Life's but a journey
Life's but an adventure
Life's but service to fellow humans
Life's but sacrifices to liberate the down trodden
Life's but only a privilege



Forever in our hearts Mrs. AKUNYILI, Dora Nkem

Rest well.....

We love you!!!

A true woman!
Despite her position, achievements, fame, politcal and monetary power she remained a WOMAN, WIFE and MOTHER to her husband and kids.
I pray the women of our generation learns a lot from this great AMAZON, who is a true symbol of HUMILITY, despite being greatly empowered.

Adieu Nneoma!
Adieu our Priceless Jewel!!
Adieu my Beloved role model!!!
Adieu the beginning of life (DNA)

We love and miss you dearly, but God loves you more.

Thanks for saving our country from the hands of the Cabal during the time President Yar Adua was sick.

Thanks also from saving us from the untimely death from the manufacturers of fake drugs. You fought your own brothers at Onitsha and closed down their warehouses. I remember vividly how outspoken you were on CNN telling the drug producers in India to administer their drugs to their citizens before sending them to Nigeria.

RIP Ma'm.....I know you are in a better place.

MarvellousGod: I don't have much to say because I'm no poet, all i can say is RIP SUPER WOMAN...

You did a wonderful job when you were with NAFDAC, hence saved alot of lives, even when they wanted to bribe you, you refused, when they threatened your life, you still stood firm...You were given some money to seek medical attention abroad but you RETURNED it after you went and the doctors wrongly confirmed you were alright, HOW MANY PEOPLE WILL DO THAT NOT TO TALK OF POLITICIANS??

You touched alot of lives. You were indeed a rare gem.. You were and will still remain one of my role models cool cool...MAY GOD GRANT YOU ETERNAL REST IN HIS KINGDOM AND GIVE YOUR FAMILY AND LOVED ONES FORTITUDE TO BEAR THIS GREAT LOSS, AMEN!!!! smiley smiley

I MISS YOU!
AGULU PEOPLE MISS YOU!!
ANAMBRARIANS MISS YOU!!!
NAIRALANDERS MISS YOU!!!!
NIGERIANS MISS YOU!!!!!
THE WHOLE WORLD MOURNS YOUR DEMISE!!!!!!


You will forever remain in our hearts cry cry cry

Dora Akunyili is a blessing to the Black Race, you inspired a lot of young Nigerians with the way you went about fighting corruption even in perilous times. I promise to honor you by contributing my quota towards actualizing the Dream Nigeria, and that means standing for the right values at all times. Adieu ma!!
