Nigerians are reflecting on the legacy of the late Prof. Dora Akunyili, former Director-General of NAFDAC, as the agency faces heavy criticism over the proliferation of fake drugs. The backlash intensified following an alarming increase in kidney failure cases across the country, which many believe is linked to the widespread circulation of counterfeit pharmaceuticals. On social media platform X, a user shared a photo of Akunyili, praising her dedication to ridding Nigeria of fake drugs during her tenure from 2001 to 2008. Under Dora’s leadership, NAFDAC made significant strides in combating the sale of counterfeit drugs and unsafe food, earning her widespread respect. The current criticism of NAFDAC was sparked by a revelation from popular video director TG Omori, who disclosed his struggle with kidney failure, attributing it to the consumption of fake drinks. His story has reignited calls for NAFDAC to take immediate action against the rising cases of fake drugs, alcoholic beverages, and other consumables. Many Nigerians are now urging the agency to either step up its efforts or face closure, as frustration with the current state of affairs grows.

Igbo people and good legacies are like bread and butter. After 4 years as president, we all would have been singing the praise of Nigeria and Peter Obi. |

richeeyo:He had many good legacies too, maybe made a small mistake because of his sick daughter. A father's passion to save a child. Some people will kill or remove any obstacles to do the same thing. It's nature, no matter how wrong it is. That cannot uproot Like the roads he attracted to his constituency, or the completed projects he left behind. Compare ekweremadu and Tinubu in their constituencies, Ekweremadu will beat Tinubu. |

Softmirror:By unknown gunmen who were never found because Nigeria security is in the hands of people who will like to Bury the truth. By those who wants to destabilise the region with big na.e killings. The innocent man killed is no threat to anybody, not robbed, not digging position anywhere, just a retired and loved medical doctor. When the killers are found, you will see their tribes. |

A competent person will be remembered for their competence, and an incompetent person will be remembered for their incompetence. No amount of propaganda or tribalism can change that. |
