why were you looking for an argument?
There are four female neurosurgeon at Korle BU teaching Hospital

Again, I repeat, I did not talk about Ghana.

Is English language so difficult to comprehend? Gosh!

I brought NIGERIA into perspective, and you are here talking about Ghana.

Obviously, you are the one looking for argument where there is none.

Must one write in your native language before you can understand?

RIP, English language angry

Ok. Congrats to her.

Take note: First female to match for neurosurgery residency at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine. Nobody can take that from the Ghanian lady, but she never even start.

However, this is not strange to some of us because Nigeria already beat Ghana to this years ago.

The first female neurosurgeon in Nigeria presently works at the University College Hospital Ibadan. She completed residency in the same institution, and is a full fellow of the West African College of Surgeons. She is a qualified neurosurgeon.

Go and do your fact-finding. I won't mention her name
.

Nigerian women are not only intelligent and beautiful. They are world beaters, and we don't 'loud' it cool

Same way there are female neurosurgeons in Ghana. This is about black females in the US. Everybody understands that. No ambiguity.

There are many Nigerian women in the Corporate world doing great things. Don't just tar us all with the same brush.

We have the likes of Ibukun Awosika (Chairman First bank), Enase Okonedo (Dean LBS), Sola Borha (CEO Stanbic), Ndidi Nwuneli (Leap Africa)
My bad, i apologise. cool

Sometimes I wonder if some people are possessed with inferiority complex. Amongst all the hardworking women you see it is the half naked picture of a lady you use to depict Nigerian females with abi? Thank God your mother and sisters are also females so go ahead and insult your country and female folks
My apologise though.

Thanks Buddy. I fully agree with you.

Black females doing mother Africa proud.

By the way, I was taught by Ghanaian teachers for most of my formative years. I can attest to the finesse and highly cerebral nature of Ghanaian academics.

Cheers!

I am sure you can see all the examples I gave are not "ordinary bankers" - the point in case you missed it is that Nigerian women are achieving in different fields you can think of.

anytime i hear neurosurgery, prof Shokunbi comes to my mind. i haven't taken neurosurgery from him b4 though but the way he taught us neuroscience, i give it to him. fine teacher. he always talk about how he read that big Grays anatomy and used to sit at the back. he makes neuroantomy look like basic science. I'm looking forward to Clinicals .

The guy is correct.
The 4 years was just medical school.
This is going to be 7 years.

Isn't it the four year MD, bros? That four years is the basic medical degree after which you'll apply for matching for a residency spot after passing your Step 1 & Step 2ck & cs. She will spend another 7 whole years, Oga!
