She is the Nigerian Heroine of the decade, sadly this current government haven't found it fit to organize a national award not to talk of recognizing her.

The best way to fight corruption isn't through medial trial of political opponents, or ignoring political associates alleged Corruption, It is by awarding and recognizing heroes especially women so laid down their life's for this country.

she's a legend
