The happy thing about all this is that she has been confirmed and people like you are roasting here.
With the way you are spamming this thread, they locked it for a very good reason, i guess.

bobokelly:

Well i don't expect Dora to come back for any ministerial post , its seems, she also benefit something in that post , otherwise she would have rejected her second offers.

stillwater:



Waiting so as not to speak too soon. How many people had substantial information about his whereabouts? Wouldn't it be hasty to speak when you had few information? I bet if she had spoken earlier, many people would still have castigated her. Some people even think the time she talked was too soon. What is late for you is early for many people.  Beside that, it is her prerogative to question her earlier stance of keeping quiet and speaking out even if many people see it as late or for mere convenience forgetting this is a country that one can be assassinated for talking too much. Why do you think the other ministers kept quiet. Is it because of loyality or fear of putting their lives in danger? As a literate woman, she would have put all these into consideration before voicing out. Which person would stake her life just to be noticed?


If what she said has no weight why are we discussing this issue now? Why are you fixated on her case?  And what did Nigerians protest that people in government hadn't thought?


So you think my position towards Dora is an issue of who is capable of attaining sainthood? Is she begging to be called a saint by you? Did these people voice out pertaining to the issue we are discussing right now? Is there something I don't know?

Who is calling her a victim? If she gave you answers why she had waited, they wont still be enough because you have already resorted that everything she did was out of personal interest. There was a thread of her interview here maybe you can read that i.e if you have already read it. If you still maintain your position, no problem. I still see nothing wrong in Dora changing her stance when information about the president was not forthcoming.

10. I wish to call on the Federal Executive Council to act now in the best interest of our dear President and our dear Nation.

We also need to save ourselves from shame because our stand is becoming very embarrassing. He has been away for about 70 days now, even if he returns tomorrow, is it not better for him to rest and recover before taking over from the Vice President?

11. We need to do what is morally right and constitutional for the President to officially hand over to the Vice President to function as Acting President. If he does not, we can evoke whichever aspect of the constitution that should make the Vice President an Acting President.

Kobojunkie:

LOok, if you want to argue now if it was SELF-SERVING then I suggest you listen to her own interview on why she changed her mind. She did admit it.

agabaI23:

Do you expect her hate herself? She is supposed to salvage her integrity and if she does that while serving the nation I cannot fault her.

Kobojunkie:

Na wa ooo!!!!

YOU CLAIMED she was not pursuing a personal agenda in all. And I posted for you the contents of her own letter, as well as the fact that she revealed she did it to save herself, now You still come after me on that? Are you for real?? Lol

agabaI23:

Yes I am for real.

If you read the interview very well you would see where she said she was not able to sleep and her conscious was not allowing her rest because of the situation of things. She had to do what she did to save herself from going mad. She was getting paranoid because what going on was alien to her person. That implies that she felt it was unfair to the nation. She had to do what was right to clear her conscience(save herself) and save the nation from collapse.

Kobojunkie:

WoW!!! You really listen to all that EMOTIONAL rant? You mean if Yar adua came up to give such an interview himself, you would swallow it all HOOK LINE AND SINKER? ROFLMAO!!!

Again, let me go back to the topic please. The fact is she admitted she did it to save herself from the shame that could come if they did not act at all. That is all I think everyone should be concerned with. 

If the woman herself admitted it was a move for self-preservation, which is even bolstered by your post there, why are we still on about it? Are you trying to prove in some way that her SAVING HERSELF is a SELFLESS act of some kind? What is this really about?  I only posted that piece from her letter to help clear the air on WHO said it was personal. She said, not Kobojunkie. I took her on her own words which are documented in the letter she wrote to her collegues and to all.

agabaI23:

You use some part of the same interview for your argument and call the other part emotional rant? Is the sentence you chose  not an emotional rant as well? Why don't u discard it?

agabaI23:

And again, even the bible said, love thy neighbour as thyself. it did not say more than thyself.  We Appreciate the bravery that enabled her do what she did.

agabaI23:

OK do you wanna tell me that other members of FEC do not wanna self preserve? Why did they not do the same? They were all cowards who congratulated here after her bravery. It takes [b]integrity [/b]to want to preserve ones dignity not minding the odd.

agabaI23:

So give it to her. She saved herself in an act to save the nation and we are all reaping from that.

agabaI23:

I have nothing to reply to again because we have finished the debate. It is now kobojunke trying to be the last as usual
Thanks for your time.

Kenjo:

madam kobo please enough, you are doing my head in with your arguments!!

mama-gee:

Can Dora Akunyili start doing what she's supposed to do as a minister and stop all these rants?

otele:

nigeria is such a mess. 42 ministers were so dumbstruck. zombies of unknown powers and by extension creating a nation of 150 million zombies. then one zombie stood up and spoke out. triggering a series of events that led to some form of common sense in the fed govt, and the zombie is under attack for trying to exit zombieworld.

how come nobody is talking about the 41 ministers who just sat there or even supported or even gained from the fiasco called fed govt of nigeria.

message, nigeria is going nowhere. it is not a course, not a spiritual prediction, just common sense statement like saying tomorow will be 1st april and day after that 2nd april.

eros:

Like it or not, Mrs Akunyili has done a very good job for Nigeria. We need more people like her who are not scared to stand up for the truth and do what is right and not those thieving, hypocritical, losing bastards called Ministers, Senators and Legislators.

md4real:

did Dora did what she did for national interest or simply she is opportunist who knew how to play the cards of politics just like her dear friend and mentor, TURAI. look and think critically!

simplychic:

Dora is too lousy,she is fond the habit making herself pure like Dove but trust me she is not,she is as dirty as every other politician,she knew she had already failed as the information minister and she used this to bring herself back,at her age she is suppose to have stop this notice me attitude of hers.
The deed has been done,my advise geos to the new team of jonathan goodluck to be very careful with this madam knowall,if not somday soon she will betray them too.
She is not a mere citizen or a radical lawyer,she is a minister for crying out loud,she is suppose to be a little bit secretive & if she must pass that this kind of information she should have applied wisdom not open her mouth as wide as it is to say rubbish about her boss.
She may be healthy today but she's not sure of the ailment that will kill her.
