Reddington Hospital Group is a multi-specialist facility offering tertiary level care. The hospital has launched a new healthcare facility, that provides super specialist expert care across a range of clinical specialisations. The founder of the hospital is Dr. Adeyemi Onabowale, a British-trained, consultant cardiologist.





Known as the Maxy Super-Specialty Centre it offers professional advice, treatment and management of conditions and diseases using specialists in Otorhinolaryngology (Ear Nose and Throat), Dentistry, Ophthalmology and Optometry (Eye conditions), Endoscopy as well as other specialist areas such as dialysis and sleep therapy.



With their new clinic, anyone can access the best expertise available, professional advice and ongoing support across a wide array of specialist healthcare disciplines without the need for a referral by a doctor.”

ENT specialists that treat a wide range of ear, nose and throat conditions, as well as head and neck conditions are part of their medical team. They are supported by skilled hearing therapists (audiologists), and speech and language therapists, who are professionally qualified in the field. Their state of the art endoscopy centre is able to provide diagnosis and treatment of diseases of the digestive tract, along with other skilled treatments that are not readily available in Nigeria.”





Reddington Hospital also conducted the first successful cardiac angioplasty and stenting procedure in the country, on July 6, 2009, by a team of specialists led by the hospital's consultant interventional cardiologist, and the Medical Director of its cardiac centre, Dr. Yemi Johnson. The state-of-the-art digital cardiac catheterisation suite and cardiac centre, is located within its premises in Victoria Island, Lagos. It is affiliated with the Cromwell Hospital in London.



Reddington Hospital also opened a Breast and Gynae Centre for women, recently. It is equipped with cutting edge technological support, never before seen in West Africa. They include a 3D Digital Breast Tomosynthesis (3D Mammography), a 3D Automatic Breast Ultrasound System (3D ABUS), a 3D Digital Streotaxic Biopsy System (3D Stereo), and a 3D MRI with 1.5 Tesla GE Explorer Technology.

Don't post on the ibo thread again.

The aim of their useless thread is to hit 200 pages and you are helping them

Their age long foolishness (trying to measure up to Yorubas) has been laid bare before them and now that is their only consolation (hitting 200 pages)

Its not that Yoruba isn't aware of the benefits of a dissolved Nigeria, but that historically our civilization bequeathed to us a legacy of dimensional growth and expansion. Even when faced with the worst adversity we triumph. Dissolution of Nigeria and the resulting benefits pale in scale when compared with the challenges of Kiriji War for instance. We did not dissolve the Yoruba Commonwealth because of competition and today we see that we are better off for it. The Yoruba signature is that of a builder, the one who takes nothing and brings out of it something beautiful to behold, or who meets a dilapidated situation and invests in its improvement and rebrand.

We are resilient and we are creators of urban civilization and order.

We have vast investments in Nigeria, the challenge we face will wear down in the course of our resilient stay, and we shall triumph and return to the regional governance.

Kiriji war was as a result of hegemony of oyo Yoruba
And that's 1893
Under yorubanation we will build a better nation
With equal constitution!

Almost all of them are Yoruba.

According to Hacker rank, Nigeria ranks 3rd on the list of countries with the best programmers. We all know yorubas are the ones who put Nigeria on that list. We tagged lalashitlala the day we opened threads on it. He never moved any of them. That one na story for another day

Sadly, our people don't know these things. I'd like to believe it's because we don't suffer from inferiority complex like those clowns. But then again, it's upon every Yoruba man to know what's happening around him before outsiders start pulling out useless figures.

If you go to Andela in Yaba , na Yoruba full the place. Same with most of the startups in Yaba. We just have this natural flair for tech. It should be known.

Hopefully, we can sustain it so Tech doesn't become another thing Yorubas "used" to dominate like education

But we have been reduced to competing with yibbo people coz we are trapped in this contraption that tells us we can't develop past a certain point because some other parts have to play catchup and slow down the rest of us, we can't generate our own power (even though we certainly have the capacity to) because some people who have not invested money in IPPs like our states have would feel bad, or we must get permission from Abuja to allow us build a light rail on our own soil. We are supposed to endure the jealousy and envy of some people we share the same country with, who wish us ill and hope the worst befalls Lagos and the rest of the SW.

Re: Yorubas Are The Most Industrious,Richest & Educated Tribe in Nigeria & Africa by laudate: 4:02am On Aug 20, 2017


John Tani Obaro is known in several circles as a consummate innovator, a visionary, and a trailblazer. He attended Baptist School, and Government Secondary School, both in Ilorin, before proceeding to Kwara State College of Technology, (now known as Kwara State Polytechnic) for a diploma. From there, he went to Ahmadu Bello University Zaria, and graduated with a second class upper degree in Mathematics and Computer Science. Two years later, Obaro got an MBA from the University of Lagos. Not yet done with acquiring knowledge, he participated in the Chief Executive Programme at the Lagos Business School (LBS) arm of the Pan-African University, Lagos, Nigeria.



Obaro was also accepted into Stanford Institute for Innovation in Developing Economies, in the US - a program which "serves promising companies in developing countries by providing business training and onsite coaching." Today, he is the Founder and Chief Executive of SystemSpecs Nigeria Limited, a software architecture, fintech solutions and e-payment gateway company, (which he set up almost 25 years ago) which is now regarded as Nigeria's software flagship company.



John Tani Obaro started his career with Leventis Technical, before he moved on in 1982 to United Bank of Africa (UBA) for an exciting Systems Development role. In 1984 John joined the defunct International Merchant Bank (IMB) rising to become the Head, Information Systems. In that role, Obaro led a team that implemented Nigeria’s first international banking application on a network linking Lagos and four other states.

Obaro's firm has developed cutting-edge applications to make commercial and business transactions easier, in the Nigerian business world. Such solutions include HumanManagerTM, a proprietary Payroll and Human Resource Management solution, which streamlines processes related to staff management and compensation. Another of their products is RemitaTM solution, which enables easy payments and collections of funds in an efficient manner using a single inter-bank platform, by individuals and organisations in the public and private sector.





When the federal government adopted HumanManagerTM software under a World Bank financed Integrated Payroll & Personnel Information System (IPPIS) project, involving 7 MDAs, over 12 billion Naira was saved over an initial 24 months period. http://www.ncs.org.ng/john-obaro/




Industry watchers say the success of that programme, probably led the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) to select and eventually adopt the RemitaTM payment gateway, for the Federal Government’s Treasury Single Account (TSA) project, after a keenly competitive bid was launched. RemitaTM processes about $6 billion USD worth of transactions on a monthly basis.

In October 2011, after a rigorous evaluation process by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), the Office of the Accountant-General of the Federation (OAGF) with support from their foreign consultants, RemitaTM an e-payment and e-collection platform owned by SystemSpecs was selected ahead of local and foreign options to provide the electronic payment technology to power the federal government’s Treasury Single Account (TSA) initiative. Emir of Kano, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi was at the time CBN governor. Former deputy governors of the CBN, Mr Tunde Lemo and Mr John Ayo, signed the contract on behalf of the Inter Departmental Committee of the central bank. https://www.newsheadlines.com.ng/leadership-newspapers/2015/12/25/tsa-and-remita-the-full-story/



John Tani Obaro has served at various times on the boards of the Ministerial Advisory Council on Information and Communication Technology.He is a Fellow of Nigeria Computer Society (NCS); an ex-member of the Governing Council of Computers Professionals (Registration Council) of Nigeria (CPN) – the highest industry practice regulatory body for ICT professionals in Nigeria. Obaro was the immediate past 1st Vice President of the Institute of Software Practitioners of Nigeria (ISPON). He has also served on the Governing Council of the National ICT Incubation Program - Information Technology Developer Entrepreneurship Accelerator (iDea), etc.

Obaro is a fellow of the Center for African Policy Development and Research, Glasgow, Scotland. John Obaro was recently honoured with the Leadership in Technology award in recognition of its promotion of excellence, best practice and innovation at the 2016 African Achievement Awards in Scotland, and also recognised as the ICT Software Personality of the Year 2016 at the Beacon of ICT (BoICT) Award. For the BOICT award, over 1.3 million people were said to have voted in the various categories, with Obaro emerging the clear winner in ICT Personality of the year category with 874,871 votes



Over the years, John Tani Obaro has received numerous indigenous and international awards for his hardwork, enterprise and expertise in the Nigerian ICT industry. The prestigious Lagos Business School (LBS) of the Pan-Atlantic University has written two case studies on Obaro's company, SystemSpecs Nigeria Limited,.

1. We need to ask ourselves why Facebook CEO, visited Nigeria, stayed in Nigeria for 3 days meeting IT folks all over Nigeria, engagements with Nollywood folks and talks with the Nigerian president and leadership, but spent just a few hours in Kenya.

2. We also need to ask ourselves why Facebook CEO and his wife's first investment in African IT company went to Andela/$24 million, a Nigerian company co- founded by a Nigerian/ Iyinoluwa Aboyeji and not a single kobo investment in Kenya.

3. kenya made noise and maybe prematurely leaped ahead, but we've closed that gap and now obviously in the lead with many largest in Africa IT brands and innovations.

4. The major backbone of IT is e-commerce and so far, Nigeria's IT/e-commerce companies are in the leading with the largest revenue in Africa including job search platforms like Jobberman and so on.

John Tani Obaro is the MD/CEO of Systemspec Nigeria Limited, an indigenous I.T firm that developed an information technology platform used by the banks, federal government and some states for e-payment, e-collection and e-payroll. In this interview, during a conference on Winning Big With E-Payment, organised by the company, Obaro spoke on the state of the e-payment industry in Nigeria, challenges being faced, and the role of RemitaTM in the future of the industry.

"...... the first major challenge we had was that all our transactions were going through the switch, and we had challenges because of the volume, we were simultaneously trying to pass through the switch. This is because this switch was designed primarily, to serve individual customers who want to do one transaction, at a time.

They maybe many, but they do it one at a time as against where we started which was salary processing, and you need to pay fifty to one hundred thousand people at once, through the same file. So we were having quite some technology issues. That led us to start thinking of an alternative approach to the same problem, and that’s how we ended up creating the non-switch model.

This involved a lot of technology thinking and accounting knowledge, to be able to arrive at that model.

Another challenge we had was that having brought in payroll, and all that features that makes life easier for customers, and because we tend to work with banks, they would have agreed some fixed amounts with customers, and no matter what you come up with after that, they now expect you to reduce your own price, to match whatever random number, they have promised whoever. Those are the challenges, but we will continue to educate that for you to have premium platforms, you need to invest in technology financially.

One thing that God has blessed this company with, is a very intelligent and enthusiastic workforce, which you would have seen in your interaction with them, at various levels. That apart, we believe in the passion that we have in the organisation, that any assignment we are given, we will deliver. Even for Nigeria, our country, it’s a vision come true, being given the privilege to deliver those things. So by God’s grace we will not fail.

Remita Mobile App will provide individuals with a much easier way to manage their finance,” said John Obaro, SystemSpecs’ Managing Director at a ceremony held recently in Lagos where a new Remita logo was also unveiled. “Now, with Remita App, customers of various banks will experience increased convenience, as they would be able to access their various accounts, seamlessly settle bills, and stay in firm control of their finance, anytime, from anywhere, on a single app.”

“We are optimistic that this solution will contribute significantly to transforming the financial culture in Nigeria,” said Adédèjì Olówè, Executive Director at SystemSpecs. “Not only will users be able to effortlessly settle utility bills using their mobile phones, Remita App’s exciting expense management feature will enable them make more financially intelligent decisions as it provides easy-to-understand colourful charts which analyse and display expense patterns.” Also on the occasion, the winners of the Remita Seed Fund for Startups received financial support to tune of one million naira each.

The beneficiaries are Temie Giwa-Tubosun of LifeBank Technology and Logistics Limited, Damilare Ogunleye of Lasiko Ltd, and Taiwo Ayanleye of Stutern Limited. Read more at: http://www.vanguardngr.com/2017/03/systemspecs-releases-remita-mobile-app-unveils-new-remita-logo/
