    1. It's fortitude not gratitude. The way some people write English on this blog, it's like nigeria was not colonised by the british. Sorry if u feel offended.

  14. Dora Akuyili was simple and selfless during her service to the country. It's sad she lost the battle from her illness and she will be greatly missed.

  17. These woman was a woman like a man. I don't believe she died of illness. People killed her. She stopped flow of almost $200 million from fake drugs. That's a lot of cash. If it was yours you won't let someone just stop your money from coming in. She couldn't do it alone that's what she didn't realize.
