The two sides of a coin

DORA,what a pleasing name !I believed this name is like the feet of those that come with salvation.A warrior's name! A champion's name that was synonymous with life saving crusade in Nigeria.A name that shone like a shooting star!A name that fought proliferation of adulterated and substandard drugs to the standstill.This was a name that send jitters down the spine of of over night millionaires who cares not about the essence life! The bearer of this was our own very Dr.Mrs Dora Akuiyili,ex-director of National Food,Drug Administration and Control(NAFDAC).The body that regulates and control the importation ,exportation,manufacturing,advertisement,distributions,sale and use of regulated products.Dora,of blessed memory,set an unprecedented benchmark in the campaign and sensitization of drugs and food products consumption in Nigeria.She had her name written in gold on the page of history.
However, in a distant land was another Dora,an hero for dehumanization.An epitome of evil and horror. Drakula's residence.The underworld's hell on earth.A camp of evil genius,callous,horror and vampires. The camp,DORA,was designed by SS supremo Heinrich Himmler to house 60,000 prisoner-slaves from occupied Europe during the WW2.Forced to build the infamous V1 and V2 rockets,her victims suffered appalling tortures and ill-treatment ;many were brutally exterminated.It brought to me mind Kanye West's song 'No Church In The Wild'. In that hell-hole ,rocket genius Werner Von Braum conceived the secret weapons that rained terror,maim and destruction on Britain and Europe-and his slave labor battalions fed the chain of death and destruction.Thirty thousand died at the hands of the sadist Kapos and Laager SS.
