Hey!

I know we are nowhere near where we are supposed to be because of the doomed to fail federal system of government we are currently running. angry

Nevertheless, no tribe in Nigeria can by any means measure up to us!

Useless looonatic flatiyeasterners have to be cut to size before they make some Yorubas believe their own fantasies, lies and mischief. angry

If it is doomed to fail, why are the Yorubas not leaving the federal system of government?

Rather sad to see all the anti-Igbo posts on this thread.

There are criminals in every tribe in Nigeria....and the fact that there are Yoruba or Ibo criminals does not mean everyone in the tribe is evil.

Matured posting, please.

Though I am Yoruba, I see all the comments here as pettiness. Trivial, which does not engender unity and oneness. Nairaland used to be an educative and informative forum but some sections have been taken over by silly and frivolous people. We should realize that Nairaland articles/ comments are not read by Nigerians alone.

At least this is some good news about my dear kingdom of jackals and hyenas. We have the best doctors, best engineers, best lawyers, best economists, best ... best ... best ... Unfortunately, we also have the ''best'' criminals as leaders. Very soon, Americans will celecrate when given any appointment in Nigeria. In fact, they'll sweat before securing a visa to Nigeria.
Hey! Don't wake me up yet. Let me finish this bottle of cognac. They won't allow me to carry the remainder outta the dream world.


Nevertheless, I'm still proud of my country NIGERIA 'cos I believe that the much needed revolution will happen during my lifetime.
God bless Nigeria and the handful of good Nigerian, including myself, who have sworn to make Nigeria proud.

Peace.

The American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM) has appointed a Nigerian doctor, Olakunle Akinboboye, as the chair of the cardiovascular disease board.

It is the first time that the 81-year-old body would appoint a black chair to head the cardiovascular disease board.

Akinboboye will be responsible for certifying all deserving cardiologists in the United States.

Heading the 12 members of the board from all over the country, Akinboboye will carry out periodic knowledge assessments of all practising cardiologists in the US.

Commenting on his appointment, Akinboboye said he is “proud to have the opportunity to chair this very important Board.

“Unfortunately I am taking over the mantle of leadership at a point in time in which many cardiologists are openly revolting because of what they perceive as high handedness of the board over the years.”

Akinboboye said his goal as the board chair is “to work with other board members to come up with assessments for practicing cardiologists that are fair, and not unduly burdensome”.

Richard Baron, president and CEO of ABIM, via a press release, welcomed the new chair on behalf of the board.

He said, “we are honored to have Dr. Berns, Dr. Akinboboye and Dr. Udden—three highly regarded physicians with significant clinical experience to serve the community in their disciplines and across specialties to offer more choice, relevance and convenience as they help to set the standards for excellent patient care”.

Here are a few things to note about the doctor.

EDUCATION

Akinboboye received his medical degree from the College of Medicine at the University of Ibadan, Nigeria and later finished his internal medicine residency and part of his cardiology fellowship at the Nassau County Medical Center, State University of Stony Brook.

He has masters degrees in public health from Columbia University and business administration from Columbia Business School.

He completed his fellowship in cardiology with two years of dedicated training in nuclear cardiology and advanced echocardiography, when he moved to Columbia University.

ACHIEVEMENT

Certified in cardiovascular disease, hypertension and sleep medicine, this won’t be his first board appointment. Akinboboye serves as chair of the clinical trials committee of the organisation and also on the international board of governors of the American college of cardiology as the liaison for Africa.

He is an associate professor of clinical medicine at the Weill Medical College of Cornell University in New York, the medical director of Queens Heart Institute/Laurelton Heart specialist in Rosedale, Queens, New York and a past-president of the National Association of Black Cardiologists’ (ABC).

The doctor won an award for “exemplary professional services and outstanding contributions to cardiovascular medicine” while serving as president of the Ibadan College of Medicine alumni association, North America, between 2004-2005.

I love yoruba culture and people.

It's just this tribalism thing that puts me off. I can't advise a non yoruba girl to marry a yoruba boy.

They make for fun friends though. wink
