Nigerians, Beware!!!

Iwu’s past that forms part of our present & future

Prof. Maurice Iwu’s claim of having obtained an undergraduate degree from the University of Bradford as revealed by Saharareporters has now been topped by the University spokesperson indicating that Professor Iwu’s [Iwu] "undergraduate degree or certificate" from Cameroon as presented to the University was neither verified nor was Iwu’s graduate degree earned through in-class work. Iwu’s study at University of Bradford , asSaharareporters discovered was earned via research work (M.Pharm by research). However discrepancies in Iwu’s backgrounds appear to extend beyond his escapades in masking gaps in his educational qualifications. New information discovered bySaharareporters reveals the shady activities surrounding Maurice Iwu [Iwu] and his non-profit organization – Bioresources Development and Conservation Inc {BDCP} which Iwu founded and piloted as his research outfit since 1993.

[b]In 1999 at the 16th International Botanical Conference, Iwu made the announcement that he has found the cure for Ebola following his groundbreaking research under the auspices of his non-profit outfit-BDCP. Iwu indicated that Garcinia kola extract stopped the replication of the Ebola virus. He followed his proclamation with the call that "Our limiting factor is funds. If we have a sponsor, we can do it in no time." Judging from available information, Iwu received lots of monies towards the development of his findings. As Saharareporters discovered, Iwu received millions of dollars. BDCP financial earnings as stated in Form 990 which BDCP presented to the United States Internal Revenue Service {IRS}. According to the form, BDCP amassed through grants and donors the amount of $425,947 in 1999, $367,870 in 2001, $640,917 in 2002 and $980,771 in 2003– totaling over $2.4million. It also stated clearly on the form that all of the monies were spent for the purpose of "medical research on the use of African herb for medicine". However till date there appears no mention of further development of Garcinia kola extract to cure Ebola or any significant discoveries beyond some patents of which one of them was an"Alkaloids of Picralima Nitida used for treatment of Protozoal diseases" invented by Iwu et al., and assigned to the U.S. Secretary of the Army, Washington , D.C. U.S. Patent 5,290,553 issued March 1, 1994. Interestingly, neither U.S. nor European pharmaceutical houses have shown interest in following the leads.
[/b]
In Form 990 tax documents submitted to the US Government, Iwu and his partners made a deliberate effort to hide the members to their Board of Trustees by avoiding to list their names in the form as expected [by law]. In the Article of Amendment of BDCP – completed in November 1994, it listed five members of the Board of Directors as Iwu, Dr. Lisa Messerole, Cosmas N. Obialor, Thomas F. Tata, and Dr. Chris Okunji.

There is a wide gap between the money raised by Iwu’s research outfit AND the services it provided. The tax forms for the year 2004, 2005 and 2006, for example, appear missing, and all attempts to retrieve them from principal officers of BDCP met a brickwall. Attempts at contacting Iwu and his partner, Chris Okunji, did not yield results. Messages left for Okunji were not returned, including e-mails messages. The only time our investigators spoke to him at his office in Maryland, he promised to call back after a "crucial meeting" but never did. This dodgy behavior meshes with what a source, a colleague of Iwu at Nsukka with a Ph.D. in Pharmacy, told Saharareporters:

"I know that Iwu is not a Pharmacist! Knowing Iwu’s penchant for publicity, he would have been featuring in all activities of Pharmacists but no, he does not because he is not one of us. Prof. Maurice Iwu is not registered with the Pharmacists Council of Nigeria (PCN). Iwu couldn’t have his way in the Faculty of Pharmacy, UNN to be Dean (the rules are clear on who qualifies to be Dean of a School of Pharmacy in Nigeri; you must hold a 1st degree in Pharmacy!). Prof. Iwu left to set up the Bioresources Conservation non-profit outfit that concentrated on herbal aspect of pharmacy is because it attracted a lot of funding from the US which he used to feather his nest".

jmaine:

So a Zoologist is not fit to be a President ? What an unreasonable daft way of thinking !!

caseless: ur paymaster has 'proven' that.

jmaine:

Another petty response that doesn't do justice to your vague and ignorant assertion.

It is obvious you are a novice to the immense contribution of Zoology in our biosphere and what it entails . . . .

Go and educate yourself . . . .

caseless: only if he had stayed in his field, i think i'd have appreciated him more. He wil make a good zoologist than a good president.

Gbawe: Maurice Iwu is a fraudster who likely packaged this Ebola "cure" to obtain 'research funds'. He announced the "cure" in 1999 and till today zilch after he collected money upn the promise that his "cure" will be produced "in no time" if financial help was forthcoming. Can a "cure" have been found in 1999 and still not a single patented delivery 15 years later for such a horrible disease the world is desperate to gain a cure for?

Nigerians should be ashamed of people like Iwu who make our children victim of negative stereotyping. Instead some clowns here are celebrating a fraudster and one even proclaiming ethnic superiority based on 'barawo' behaviour when a few seconds of research will reveal the history of Iwu to be about deception and fraud. Na real wa for Nigerians sha. Iwu is a wicked chap who simply exploited the desperation for a 'cure' to a horrible disease. He should be rejected by a society of decent and upright people.
