This news has made my day sad. Couldn't help shedding tears. Death is inevitable but people like Dora shouldn't die. She lived a life worthy of emulation. She was a true compatriot and a true Nigerian. A woman who would say it as it is no matter who is involved. I wish the family God's comfort and the fortitude to be this irreparable loss. Rest in Peace Dora, your footprints will ever be remembered in the sands of time. Adieu.

Really sad. What a lost, she was suppose to be 60years of ages by next month. RIP Prof Dora Akunyili.

When I first saw this picture of Professor Dora Akunyili some years ago, I was like; all these awards for one person, then again, I said to myself; these are pictograms of acknowledgeable hardwork and true citinzenry. Immediately I downloaded it to my PC, few friends who didn't know me too well and didn't recognized her asked, "is this your mom?" (What a covetous question). How did she acquire all these? (Go ask your mom'a)...You will forever be remembered Prof. Dora.
