Governor Peter Obi of Anambra State has commissioned one of the biggest hospitals in Brooklyn built by a Nigerian, Dr Ifeanyi Obiakor.

He called on other Nigerians in Diaspora to think home and help in the development of the country.

A statement by Obi’s Special Adviser on Media, Val Obienyi, made available to Sunday Sun said the commissioning was part of his one-day visit to America as he accompanied President 890Goodluck Jonathan to the United Nations Session.

Obi who met with various investors in America while on the working visit according to Obienyi also turned the sword of the Sleep Centre under construction by the same Nigerian doctor, Ifeakor, an indigene of Anambra State.

According to him, on hand to help the governor was the Minister of Health, Prof Onyebuchi Chukwuma and other dignitaries from Nigeria and America. Obi who was accompanied by his wife, Margaret, expressed surprise at the magnificence of the hospital and how well equipped it was.

He said he strived to attend the function because he felt delighted in seeing Nigerians especially Anambrarians do well in their various fields. “Already, he is building a hospital and university in Abuja, but I will subtly remind him to remember Anambra State especially. I am particularly proud that he has employed many Nigerian doctors as well as whites in the hospital.

“I am proud of him and as an evidence that he is not afraid of his roots, he named all his businesses in America, including the Hospital and pharmacy after Igbo names”, he said. The Minister of health commended Obiakor for his bold strides and told him that now was the time for him to partner with the Government.

The climax of the event was the inspection of the hospital and its many departments led by Obiakor.

He explained that the hospital started with the department of Gynecologist and Obstetrics before expanding to community Medicine, Pharmacy and other departments. He said that he was already talking with the New York State University for conversion into a health institute and highlighted the planned establishment of HIV training and management department.

Such a laudable project,am impressed

Atleast he had nevr hold political appointments,this will teach them (political office holders) to help keep our  HARD EARNED FUNDS at home to help sustain our fragile economy.

He has tried his best, atleast some nigerians abroad are known for hard work and sacrifices for their nation while some are known for looting the treasury.

The fact that he is building hospitals in Nigeria too and not just in New York is even more thrilling.

Where did he get the money?

Shut up!

At least they are using the money wisely.

Health care in America is a growing business, due to the aging of the Baby Boomer Generation.

So you don't care if he is into 419?. Building and running  a hospital in America is a multi million dollar empire especially in NY. Where did he get such funds?

commendable >>> but the nigerian diaspora must come help to join in the Nigerian struggle

Think for a change. They said he has investors who are financing this project as well. Angel investors are common in the West who will help finance some profitable ventures.

Plus, he is a businessman.

Why should Nigerians in the diaspora come home to help, when Nigerians back home are not fighting for their rights?

I want to believe you but I am still trying so hard. Who are these angel investors?. Do they have Obasanjo and Peter Obi as directors?

Folks from Netherlands are involved. Do some googling http://news.webshots.com/album/560448237EZREbq

I tried it didnt say it. The American news didnt report it either- why is that? Its suppose to be the biggest hospital in brooklyn and probably the most current one built.

The hospital name?

so no one knows the name of the biggest and newest hospital in bk? where is bbky when you need him?

might be american hospital though i'm finding it hard to understand what the hullabaloo is about.

maybe the 3 month clinical rotations for medical students from nigeria?

The publicity it gets depends on what press was invited since it is a private hospital. Apparently the man preffered that it be commissioned by Nigeria, hence his state gov and the Federal minister of health were there to do that.

Lol. I was actually reading this shiyyt but decided not to comment. Everything Ibo is always "the biggest". . . . . If he built the "Biggest" hospital in Brooklyn (which, judging from the pics IT MOST CERTAINLY AINT) what do we call Hospitals like Cumberland, Hull and Kings County? These Ibo folks. . . . . .
