TRIBUTE TO PROF. DORA AKUNYILI BY FAMILY

By
WE MISS YOU, MUMMY
Dora and husband, Chike

-By Chike Akunyili & Children

Our darling Dora would have been 60 yesterday (July 14) if she were to be alive
But she is no more – felled 37 days ago by the mortal enemy, death, on Saturday, June 7, 2014.

Beloved Dora,
You had eagerly looked forward to this day 
But, alas! you never lived to see it.

We deeply love you, Mummy 
It was our wish never to let you go
But when death comes, what can we do than to submit to the will of the Almighty?

Beloved Dora,
We very sincerely admire the decent character in you and those dreams of a golden future for Nigeria
For which you were ever ready to sacrifice your life during your days as NAFDAC DG
Without good people in politics, good leadership will remain elusive
Thus your hunger to make Nigeria a great brand via “Good People, Great Nation”.

Your life was an enduring legacy of truth, courage, integrity, love of your country, pursuit of excellence, love of your family and friends, and total devotion to God.
Your commitment to any undertaking attained force and vigor that will surely travel through the centuries.
You never held back whatever you could do for the common good.
Your numerous good deeds, infectious smiles, peaceful but firm nature, steely personality and motherly love are all unforgettable.
No amount of darkness can overpower the candle you lit and raised high for all to see.

In pain the children and I accept your exit.
He who is love hath called thee home 
And bade thee thy labour cease. 
Thou art safe in His eternal love and never ending peace.
Dora, lay down thy head on thy Saviour’s breast (as you usually did on mine whenever you were extremely tired).

Nigerians all eulogise you and appreciate the numerous trees you planted for future generations to enjoy. 

WE LOVE YOU DEARLY BUT GOD LOVES YOU MORE 
SLEEP PEACEFULLY IN HIS BOSSOM.

PEACE, PERFECT PEACE, DORA THE AMAZON.

From Your darling Husband Chike Akunyili 
And our gems: 
Ijeoma
Edozie
Somto
Njideka
Chidiogo
Obumneme

EFREN PENAFLORIDA - SOCIAL WORKER AND TEACHER

By
Efren’s Penaflorida – Social Worker and Teacher Efren Peñaflorida, Jr. sports no cape. He has no superpowers. You would neither throw him a second glance nor even notice him in a big crowd. There is really nothing special about Efren except his unparalleled dedication to reforming kids in their poverty-stricken community in Cavite, Philippines.Efren Peñaflorida, Jr.’s sanity was questioned when people first saw him going around the neighborhood pushing his improvised cart loaded with food, books, paper, pencils, and other things you would commonly see in a classroom. Why, Efren goes around the neighborhood pushing a mobile classroom to peddle the love for education. He left his well-paying job as a private school teacher to devote all of his time and effort to his Kariton Klasrum project while his neighbors mock him.To make matters worse, his parents and brother did not see the point in his earnestness to get out-of-school youths interested in going back to school. For a family s...
