The Essential Dora Akunyili Lives- Ojo Maduekwe

A few months before Professor Dora Akunyili was appointed National Conference member, she sent me a text message with a United States number to say she had just been through a major health challenge but was improving. I eventually met her in Nigeria some weeks later.

For someone who had been through the valley of the shadow of death, she looked remarkably strong, and was clearly vibrant. She definitely was not the same Dora that was shown on the internet when she took her place at the National Conference shortly after I visited her. It was subsequently argued on the social media, partly out of genuine concern by some, and partly out of other considerations by others, as to whether it would have been better for her to excuse herself from the rigors of the conference and proceed wherever, to take care of herself.

I read some of her responses to those suggestions at the time, and I said that was vintage Dora. Dora was too full of life to live it incrementally. Her passing away in the manner, time and context in which she took her final bow, brought to mind Dylan Thomas’ plea to a dying relative:

“Do not go gentle into that good night...
Rage, rage against the dying of the light”

 A mother has beaten odds of a million-to-one by giving birth to a baby who appears to be of a different race.Catherine Howarth, 32, from Milton Keynes, is Nigerian by heritage, and so was, at first, a little taken aback when she saw her son Jonah for the first time.

With his pale skin, green eyes and light brown hair, Jonah, now three months old, looks like any other new-born baby - but, when seen in his mother's arms, his uniqueness is obvious.
Recalling the moment she delivered Jonah in Milton Keynes Hospital on June 1, his mother told the SundayMirror:
