And they killed her cry
E no go better for who silently and slowly killed Dora. She was my mentor. When she joined politics I was so happy and scared at the same time. You didnt even talk about the assassination attempts on her convoy severally cry

My fears became valid .
They silenced her.
Nigeria happened to her husband too.

Each time I remember this, I wondered the trauma her children must be going through.

NAFDAC lived and died with Prof Dora Nkem Akunyili.

Since her demise, nothing good has ever come out of the agency. In fact, we hardly know the name of the agency's DG anymore because, the body has become a complete disappointment.

With 100k or more, you can get the agency's approval for production of sachet water without any of its officials coming for citing.

I read somewhere that one of her family members died from the menace of fake drug . Hence her resolve to fight drug running to a standstill. God rest your soul ma'am
Yeah, her elder sister, Vivian.
Fake diabetic drugs.

IPOB took her husband's life.

And the best some of her people could do was to execute the husband in the most gruesome way because he had police security with him.
Inasmuch as I want Kanu released but he cannot be exonerated of the evil he used his boys to wreck.

Yet it was her own people who tried to bring her down. They repeatedly harassed and threatened her. Their behaviour is nothing short of pure hypocrisy mixed with an ostrich mentality.

Prof. Dora Akunyili was a rare gem.

And the powers took out her husband because of her role in bringing Goodluck Jonathan to power when they were hiding the death of then President YarAdua.

Maybe she had been the potassium bromate stuff for a long before realizing the danger.

If not for her, many Nigerians alive today would be struggling with kidney problems

I cried when this woman died and my then girlfriend if I was crying because of a woman I don't know. I told her,if she knew the contribution this woman made and the number of lives(both young and old) she won't be spilling that trash from her mouth. When she google about Dora she was shocked about what she read. Since then she started talking about Dora everywhere,even in her teaching job. Really miss her

So an igbo woman took on her "brothers" and saved everyone including you who loves bread with "ewa goyin" grin grin
Notice she didn't say "igbo first" or " lokan"
I keep telling you people this senseless tribalism will always haunt y'all but mba
You persist grin

And bad man ordered his boys to kill 2000, unfortunately her husband was killed and people are saying that he should be giving amnesty.
Her husband may not be her kind... but that still does not justify his death by senseless murderers

I know right.

Many Nigerians mourned her death. She'd be missed for her impact in the health sector.
