What are you talking about bro? We ain't  talking about fifa here. Then you can tell your state governor to go ahead and steal. Do you know how much destruction public fund siphoning causes? Fake roads getting built leading to thousands of deaths,thousands dying in hospital and yet you're saying this?

Some people are just foolish by default. A woman who has worked on the world stage and a two time minister of finance not forgetting that the husband has been a medical Doctor since God knows when. What did Tinubu did to make his money and have the kind of assets he has in lagos state? What did Ameachi did to have the kind of wealth he has? What about Atiku, obj and the likes? This woman's child is even a medical doctor and some illiterates on this forum will open their mouth and accuse her. At least they have the moral conscience of building hospital to save lives what about those that stole and took it it banks in Europe and America? Won't that hospital employ Nigerians? We have been hearing Ngozi is corrupt yet no one has charged her of any crime. Today buhari will say this, tomorrow, he will deny it. Ngozi has been making a fool of this government by allowing his aid to reply to such filthy accusations because she is not on the same slandered with the block heads perceived to be running Nigeria on auto pilot.

But why Abuja ,why not UMUAHIA his home?


My dear, think a little bit before u ask question.

This kind of project cannot be located in Umuahia considering the fact that Abia state government is a sham and a failure.

Do you expect some to put his/her multi billion naira project in a state that is more backwards than any other state in Nigeria? And do you even know that Abia state doesn't have an airport?


Abeg think before u say anything. which road they for abia state. and that umuahia u r talking about?

Her project is strategically located ok. And this kind of project can only be located in Abuja, Kano, Lagos, Calabar et

It will end up rotting away. Those who can afford it would rather travel abroad. I however expect them to get business from 'curious' high net worth clientelle.
Considering the TOP companies that did the job the hospital will be very expensive even more than some abroad....

And some rich people are stingy,, they don't want to spend money they will rather go abroad except in Emergency cases...And they can get the same kind of treatment in places like India at a cheaper rate..

It is either you are a comedian or you are plain ignorant.

So you think that if you make $900 or $30,000 in a month that it means you will get a check of $900 or $30000 respectively? $900 means you will be receiving about $600+ after deductions depending on your dependents. At $30000, the tax rate is close to 50% depending on deductions as well.

US is set up in such a way to encourage spending. So the best option is to spend on things that are tax deductible like house mortgage, business expenses, etc.

Kudos to the Iwealas for investing in Nigeria. I hope the hospital project comes to fruition. Other moneyed Nigerians should emulate them. We need more world class hospitals like this.

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.  


Screenshot of Dr. Iwealas announcing the project

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.”

Yes, there is no big deal about this. They are able to build such. The childrens are all highly educated with the best jobs, ngozi her self is a world class financial technocrat and rated among the the 100 greatest persons in the world. Among the first 40, the highest by any living or dead Nigeria, the only nigerian woman in the lis with Dangote been the other nigeria. The husband is a professor of medicine probably owning such world class hospital in US. Wont he we be happy he is building such in Nigeria. Unfortunately Sahara liar is afraid to indict her or even mention stolen fund in this report. Ng carry go

If you actually did that calculation for 8hrs at 6 days, it will be high above the estimate... You are obvious the comedian here because if I also add extra time the figure will still rise... The 30k$ for your info is average... Can't you read or comprehend? 80% makes more than 40k$.... Now tell me thank you and go to bed

at least the money should remain here instead of giving it out to foreigners.

maybe she doesn't want us to know how Much the project cost because you know say our mouth too dey leak.

We don't! Nigerians lack the skill and craft. Those that have the skill will charge more than foreign experts. Look at the building sector. Togolese build waaaay better and charge far less

At $40k, what do you think is the tax bracket? You are an id1ot.
They have no living expenses, no mortgage, no malpractice insurance, no liens, no bills? They just get the money and dump it into their accounts.
There is a reason they say that "it is not how much you make in USA, but how much you can save". Keep reading articles online.

Some people are already asking if the common man will be able to afford it;should everything in life be about the common man? Sheraton and Eko hotels weren't built for the common man;same goes for this specialist hospital. There are hospitals for the common man. Nigerians should stop this stupidity of always asking if the common man can afford everything. The rich also have as much rights as the poor;if the poor can't afford something,let them go for what they can can afford. There's no way I'd be commiting such amount of money into a project with the masses at heart;how would I get my money back? It is the duty of the govt to take care of the poor;not private investors/businessmen.

I like to educate f00ls.

Accept it for what it is, the Iwealas will not go into such ventures without using corporate financing. It makes more economic sense and Mrs Okonjo knows it because that's her area of specialty. The operation we are talking about here is beyond your comprehension. If you read the article well, you will understand that saharareporters insinuated that but in a sinister way. No one saves money to start a corporation in this era especially when corporate funds are available and venture capitalists are scouting for the next good deals.
