Nigerians are stupid. She is using looted money to build a multi-million dollar hospital that will create jobs, provide healthcare and add a beautiful infrastructure to Nigeria. Please let her loot more and continue to invest in Nigeria like this.

The minimum Nigerian graduate at 40k assuming he is a teacher will probably produce more than a US minimum probably a waiter at McDonalds... Meanwhile the US minimum earns more..

you seem to misunderstand the concept of 'production' and value addition
a ton of iron costs 600 dollars
but an engineer or even artist that designs the outer shell that attracts customers to buy basically the same engine and gear box with different packaging Will be paid more for drawing cos there are fewer of him than the grunt on the production line who can be replaced by machines or Mexicans
same thing, they Mickey Will have higher standard of living cos his clients want higher standard of service
while teech Will wear tattered clothing and sandals cos he has nothing to offer. (if he did,we wouldn't be in the mess our nation is)

Thieves. Criminals.


Multi-billion dollar my foot.

Financiers my black asss(they also refused to disclose who they are) .


On a normal ground, that Ngozi okonjo-Iweala's salaries + his husband own + his son own + their retirements benefits no fit build 1/20th of that structure talk more of equip it.




Don't worry, una mama and wife dey enter jail pretty soon

Person bring im investment home you are criticizing him for not hiring a local contractor, abeg u remember synagogue church?

And if I may ask which investment una papa don bring?

Good project.
Hopefully this will serve the Nigerian populace.

Though this is not NOI project. If others use their money too like this, we would have more jobs and reduce unemployment. For example, this hospital beyond health care, will provide employment to Dr, nurses, pharmacists, cleaners etc.

Let's encourage others to establish too. It's for our good. If u scare them, they will go and put the money abroad and Nigeria will lose.

Good investment, wrong location.

The husband and son of immediate past Minister of Finance, Ngozi Okonjo Iweala, are set to open a multi-million dollar hospital in the Gwarimpa area of Abuja, Nigeria’s capital.

Prototype of Iweala's multi-million dollar hospital in Abuja

Mrs. Okonjo-Iweala’s husband, Ikemba Iweala, and their son, Uchechi Iweala, are teaming up to establish the Capital Health and Surgical Care Center in Abuja. Both men, who are medical doctors, will serve as chairman of the board and medical director respectively at the medical facility described as state of the art. 

The hospital was originally to be formally opened last June by former President Goodluck Jonathan, on the assumption that he would be reelected. Mr. Jonathan’s defeat froze the idea.

Information available on the hospital’s website, http://www.chscnigeria.com/home/page?id=Press, states that the hospital “is conceived to improvetertiary-level healthcare delivery in Nigeria and Greater West Africa by providing top-rate service of international standard.” The hospital, which has been quietly under construction and development in the last three years, is equipped with 50 beds, three operating rooms, Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), and CT scan.

The undisclosed financiers of the project apparently spared no expense in conceiving the project. The project’s architectural design was undertaken by Perkins + Will Global (http://perkinswill.com), a major player in the world’s architectural scene. The firm is based in Washington, DC with offices in more than 24 countries all over the world. The firm of architects has designed various multi-billion dollar projects in the US, Asia, Europe, the Middle East, and Latin America. The hospital’s interior design was done by Perkins + Will/DAR Group.

Another US-based multinational company, General Electric, handled the hospital’s technological equipment and infrastructure. The project does not list any indigenous Nigerian company as being involved in the conception or execution of any aspect of the hospital. 

While the hospital’s website does not provide any cost estimate, two sources familiar with the project claimed that the Iweala’s hospital cost between$100 and $150 million.

An Abuja-based architect also told this reporter that the profile Perkins + Wills suggested that the hospital was pricey. “If we go by the scale of projects that Perkins + Wills gets involved in, then we can conclude that this was a major project,” the US-trained architect said.

The hospital’s website provides no information about the financing of the project. SaharaReporters contacted the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission to ascertain whether the anti-corruption agency knew the financial backers of the project. “No, we are not aware,” a senior EFCC official told our correspondent. He added that the agency had no reason to investigate the source of the hospital’s funds. He added, “The only issue is that the arrowheads of the hospital are family members of the former Coordinating Minister of the Economy. But we cannot just investigate unless we receive information that public funds were somehow committed to the project.”

hmmmmmM. Well I wudt say anitn ooh. Bcus I kw d money Abacha looted is on dat project. I kw nigeria wil b a greation 1 day and I and my family wil be alife 2 njoy it AMEN.

Good one. Please inform us when they start recruiting staff. kudos to the Iwealas!

Is that mrs okonjo iweala's father and son?

Come to think of it how did they get the money?

48noble:
This is good, others are moving their investments abroad and here are the Iweala's showing love for country...God will bless our hassle.

When will Ibo leaders start investing at home? When

Yorubas are developing Ogun and Ekiti and moving things along. Hausas are developing Kano and Jigawa. Very soon the redevelopment and renewal of NE will kick off. What is going on with people in the East?

Family of thief.

They are thieves......

They must be investigated...

Most Europeans/US senators/MP who have equally served in different capacities within and outside their countries at the top management in World Bank/IMF for decades are still living in their normal houses and doing things within their salaries' scale.


Most of these US top administrators are still driving normal cars while our minister for finance for 12yrs and World bank administrator is planning to build a medical centre worth $100m.

There is no way she and the rest of her family even if they have all worked in the same capacities with Ngozi Iwealla would have been able to have $2m for any project if not for what she has stolen from this country.

She is nothing but a common thief.

EFCC needs to know where the credits for this project is being sourced or was sourced otherwise, she needs to be prosecuted along side her Clandestine boyfriend-Mr clueless Jonathan

divinehand2003:
Just too early now. WHAT IF IF........

If what?

Do you think that one has time for you and your Buhari probe?
She has answers before the probe will start and is more intelligent than your president.
Carry go, Madam.

Xavier9ja:
She and her family can actually build it. She is a two time minister of finance and have headed world bank. By the way they didn't say okonjo-iweala alone, they said 'she and her family'

God will bless ur mum & dad! dem no waste dia tym on bed @ all!!! & waitn 4 biased minds 2 begin ranting

shizzy7:
Chai!! see escape Stragey!!!
Thieves,,, It will be the most expensive hospital in Nigeria,,, multi Million $ hospital,,- Madam you need to TAPOUT

Hospital for the Maitamas by the Maitamas,

By the time Buhari is through with you that hospital will be a FEDERAL Hospital..... Amen..

Open your heart and accept other people's progress.
They were idle before she became minister. Now that the project has come to light, you and your Buhari should go their and commit suicide. Rubbish.

Please relax. Would u have preferred Abacha style where our money is put in another country without interest and benefit to Nigerians?
Encourage them to establish here and create jobs and development in whatever area they invest.

Great move, but why not south-east?

Too much tribalism in this country.

Have u thought they could get loan? Or even partner?
They have money, connection and intelligence. What can they not achieve with these.

Useless SR, they must find a way to bring/mention Jonathan. I now believe that "dem use Jonathan swear for them' awon Iranu Abasha! Mcheeeeeeeew.

Now that some people are already complaining about stolen money, I think the best is that they move EFCC headquaters to the building.

If at the end they don't find her guilty, all of them including president probe probe should go their and commit suicide.

Madam carry go.

Don't mind them. Hatred and tribalism has blinded the eyes of many Nigerians.

Afromalaika:

U b igbo abi? Not too difficult to spot anyway.

what are you talking about?
Are you a tribalist yourself?

Public servants steal public funds discreetly and try to invest the money in the country.

iamrealdeji:
you don't know what you're saying,do you know the meaning of 150million dollars? If you put Ludacris,50 cent,Nicki Minaj,Meek Mill,Wiz Khalifa networth together,its not up to 150million dollars

and if u care to knw ngozi oknonjo-iweala is rich enough to pay beyonce, jay-z, madonna or any a-list celeb to perform for her. Meanwhile check the post again, they said ''iweala's family''. That means is not a sole business, it a family effort. She is not building it alone

Why all this media trial? This is way out of point, it's not good for our democracy.

Innocent until proven guilty by the highest court in the land.

I thought of all that before making my assertions.

I also knew u didn't read my comments well neither did u read the original post, but that is by the way.


"And they have refued to make known the 'FINANCIER' of the project", if na loan dem collect, why dem go hide am? If na other coperate body financed it, why dem go also hide am?
