Paper Columnist: Akunyili Was Treacherous, Aaodoakaa Was Courageous by doyin13(m): 5:58pm On Mar 01, 2010 |
They cast her in the mould of a heroine. She saved the nation they said. At a crucial time when the ship of State was adrift and rudderless, she, with uncommon courage and magical sleight of hand, guided it to the shore. Now they sing: ‘all–hail-Dora, the patriot, all hail-Akunyili the heroine of our time’. There is no mystery as to why Nigeria is where it is with people like this. |

Apparently, this writer has no ideas of his or her own. The whole article is based on paraphrasing other western writers and thinkers and framing judgements based on the applied implications of the borrowed phrases. Take away the quoted phrases and there is little left. Again the density of the references to other authors, apart from diminishing his or her own place as a thinker exhibit the authors narcissism. The article is about the author, to attract attention, to sound so shocking to be noticed, to play with words and throw out names in order to be seen as 'well read.' Such literary masturbation can't be taken seriously. It will be more time well spent if author spent more text, fleshing out argument to compel readers. But, that is far from his or her intentions. I doubt if Idontcare paid for such empty promotion. |

I doubt if Idontcare paid for such empty promotion. In my opinion d writer tried it was a wholistic piece but usin Dora as a villian is wrong nd mayb he could hav used d likes of Falana and Pastor Bakare, where Falana believes dat he is d only one capable of givin our constitution he didn't write a meanin and Pastor Bakare who believes dat God does not have solutions to Nigeria's problems but requires him givin ultumatum to a govt he didn't elect. Like I hav said Aondoaka only tried dischargin his duties to the best of his abilities and mayb somtimes overreached himself but true to d article he showed himself to be a loyal dog of a master who will stand by d masters side in good and bad times and he took defeat gallantly and I didn't hear any gloating or continous defence of his position but instead he has taken it in his strides in his words "I am the Minister Of Special Duties" |

I can bet the author of that piece is Aondooka himself or his paid image maker. Absolute Rubbish! |

@poster, great piece, All we need is patience, time reveals all. I'm not on aondokaa's side, but unlike many blind nigerians, i'm not fooled by Dora. She's an obvious hustler, and all she's really doing is self preservation, not preserving nigeria. God bless Nigeria, our beloved country. |
