There are many people in Nigeria doing wonderful and amazing things, but you do not hear about it. What Oby, Dora, Ngozi had in common apart from coming from my part of the country, they love publicity and the OBJ administration gave them huge PR budget. Don't get me wrong they are hard working women in their own right, but they love publicity too much and they made no effort to groom younger women around them - only younger men. I have often wonder about such powerful women. I am a beneficiary of one of them.Eze[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8686769.post-84843418662220058292008-05-01T16:23:00.000+01:002008-05-01T16:23:00.000+01:00seriously?!seriously?!gungunhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16732528564504437537[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8686769.post-46097677812396892182008-05-01T14:40:00.000+01:002008-05-01T14:40:00.000+01:00While Akunyili is a positive role model and someon...While Akunyili is a positive role model and someone that ought to be celebrated, I have atimes wondered why she doesn't feel any conflict about appearing to pick up gong after gong after gong. There is an ostentation about that in itself that is not dissimilar to people collectiong chieftaincy titles by the truckload.<BR/><BR/>And there comes a point when the titles become meaningless in themselves. Then consider the fact that many organisations and companies may give her some awards just to cultivate some patronage.<BR/><BR/>There should be a stronger value judgment about what awards (if any more) she receives. Akunyili should have the humility to, in the words of Elizabeth Barrett Browning, "turn from praise" - and politely turn down some awards.<BR/><BR/>F.MAnonymous[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8686769.post-16313820123967279772008-05-01T14:24:00.000+01:002008-05-01T14:24:00.000+01:00Dora accepts every and any award from all publicit...Dora accepts every and any award from all publicity seeking groups, even inconsequential ones that have a only P.O.Box address and letterheaded paper.'Yar Mamahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05839366950872841588[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8686769.post-85153006878707606392008-05-01T13:40:00.000+01:002008-05-01T13:40:00.000+01:00Is this some kind of a joke jeremy?Is this some kind of a joke jeremy?Anonymous[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8686769.post-78555391452116725242008-05-01T12:16:00.000+01:002008-05-01T12:16:00.000+01:00Wow! only one person.
