It originates from the fact that the dodo bird is no longer in existence.<\/p>\n<p>The dodo was a bird that lived on the island of Mauritius. It was somewhat like a turkey and couldn\u2019t fly and was hunted to extinction.<\/p>\n<p>The phrase is used to stress that someone or something is dead.<\/p>\n<p>Posting on Twitter this Monday, Chamisa said he was just back from the Easter retreat in the countryside where the network is zero. He wrote:<\/p>\n<p>Fellow Citizens, Brothers &amp; Sisters a lot has happened, this is not the time to trade barbs and fight each other. We give oppressors oxygen and a lifeline.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s fix our eyes on the prize. We must win change for everyone. Let there be peace &amp; love! We\u2019re #OnePeople Zimbabwe!<\/p>\n<p>On being asked by one of his followers if CCC was indeed as dead as a Dodo, Chamisa said:<\/p>\n<p>It matters not.. calling an elephant a rat a million times doesn\u2019t make it a rat. We are a juggernaut!<\/p>\n<p>Everyone knows this, especially those who oppose, dislike, and can\u2019t handle us! Keep shining!<\/p>\n<p>Chamisa, however, made a veiled attack on Chin\u2019ono, saying weak people attack others instead of offering solutions to problems. He said:<\/p>\n<p>Weak people criticize others. Strong people criticize themselves and give ideas and solutions. Let\u2019s all be strong people. Stronger together!<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/zimbabwe\">Zimbabwe<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Zimbabwe.
