Meet Dr Philip Ozua, Anambra Medical Doctor Who Donated $1 million to UI

The acting Dean of Medical College, University of Ibadan, Prof Adebola Ogunbiyi ,invited all the old students who are now doctors produced by the college to a zoom meeting.

The reason for the meeting was not farfetched.

The professor was sick with worry about the infrastructure decay and rot at the medical college she oversees in Ibadan.

She is aware that the Nigerian government is too broke to fund it, so she came up with a master stroke, which was to tap into the resources and social capital of the alumni produced by the medical college scattered all over the world to give the medical college a facelift.


A Zoom meeting was fixed on Monday, two days ago, and the link was sent to the former students of the medical college.


Starting off the meeting, Prof. Ogunbiyi narrated the challenges and plight the current medical students at the college are facing.

The current medical students of the college need a new hostel and their classes also need to be refurbished.

The acting Dean of the college ended her speech by appealing to the alumni of the college to support her in rebuilding and restoring the lost glory of the medical college.

Her speech opened the floodgates of donations from the medical doctors produced by the Medical College, University of Ibadan.

The donations were coming in trickles.

N1 million naira here

N200,000 there.

Until it got to the turn of Dr. Philip O. Ozuah (attached in the picture), an old student of the college who is currently the President and CEO of Montefiore Medicine in New York.

Philip Ozuah did not say too much as he went straight to the point of making a donation of $1,000,000 (700,000,000).


In his words, UI’s medical college shaped and refined him into the man he is today, so he has the duty to give back to the school.

When Dr. Philip announced the $1,000,000 donation, all of the old students in the zoom session began shouting, “Wow!” Wow..

Even the dean, who called the zoom meeting, was speechless as she did not see that coming.

None of the old students of the medical college could donate again since Ozuah had set a standard they could not match.

From shouting Wow! Wow! The Zoom fundraising meeting came to an end with the closing prayer said immediately.

It should be noted that Ozuah had his medical degree certification at the University of Ibadan and did his internship at the University of Nigeria Teaching Hospital before he proceeded to Southern California for his Master’s program and got his PhD from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.

this man alone donated 700 million naira to University of Ibadan.

Igbo people are very nice people, very selfless and always eager to help. Look at apostle Chibuzor in PH, doing nice things all over Nigeria.

When Biafra comes, people all over the world would be amazed on how Biafraland would be turned to Dubai in less than 20 years. We have people like this man up to 20,000 in Biafra land...one of them is peter Obi. These are the people that would transform biafraland without the government even raising a finger.

I wish other medical colleges follow suit.Waiting for the government to refurbish those dead structures/amenities is like praying for Naira to equal a Dollar grin

And some fools trying to use ethnicity to sell their expired Agbado candidate are trying hard to show Igbos hate Yorubas.

The man could have decided to take the fund to UNN where he did internship, but he was magnanimous enough to give back to his alumnus UI. May God bless him.

May those trying to incur hate on Igbos never benefit from an Igbo man till they die.

That's Igbos for you. Generous to a fault without recourse to tribe or religion

This is how some of the best Ivy League Universities are funded.

We need revolutionary leaders who can grant full autonomy to Universities in a way that allows them to reach out to the world for funding.

The present system where the federal Govt of Nigeria funds every Tom, Dick and Harry is setting us back.

Yet Igboman is their problem in Yorubaland according to urchins. No matter the economic condition of this jungle, an average Igboman can never eat grass. We know how to make money even from nothing. Our ancestors did it, we are doing it and our incoming generations will do it as well. Igbo amaka.

If he vies for presidency, Tinubu's Agberos and Urchins won't see the good deeds of his past.He will be termed an IPOB member, that he hates Hausa-Fulani,that his village killed Hausa-Fulani.That when he was in UI, he didn't speak Yoruba,he identified with Igbo and all this and all that nonsense.
Ndigbo don't hate Yorubas.
The way Ndigbo rejected Buhari and was proved right by the disastrous performance of Buhari's Government is the same way we don't want to be associated with Tinubu.
Didn't Igbo vote for Tinubu against Federal Government military might in 2003? Didn't we vote for Ambode, Fashola etc?
Didn't we Vote for MKO Abiola?
Didn't we vote for OBJ?
I challenge any Tinubu's Urchin to tell me when Yoruba have ever voted an Igbo man since the history of Nigeria?
People are getting wiser now. The campaign of calumny that worked against Goodluck Jonathan won't work against Peter Obi. If Osinbanjo were the guy on the ballot, trust me, Peter Obi wouldn't get above 70% support..Every sane Nigerian is with Peter Obi. A
Vote for PETER OBI is a vote to rescue Nigeria from the grip of evil, nepotistic, tribalistic, ethnocentric, corrupt ancestors destroying our unity with their archaic bigotry
