House mortgage, tax,maintenance,insurance,HOA is like 2 million.

Cars 500k If financed, him,wife kids.

Lifestyle,vacation, Mansion in Anambra, side chicks, charity. Black tax(family members) 3 Million

Kids college fees,accommodation,feeding etc 1 million.

If he is an internist who worked 30 years, he will never have 7 million after taxes, that's exaggerated

Investments if prudent 1 million....which has a maximum yield of 30-40k $ a year, that will barely pay his property taxes if he lives in a good neighborhood.

The American lifestyle is a rat race, when i tell people they don't understand.
so that's why he went into drug peddling ?

30 years, no other hustle, 9 to 5pm
4.5 million net income after tax in 30 years.
Thats lower middle class money, if you cut your coat according to your size.
Assume you drive a toyota camry....no G wagon
Live in a modest house 350k
Kids go to ordinary schools
You don't have any investment anywhere.
are you trying to justify why Okafor resorted to selling prescription for opiates and trying to get his patients hooked on them?

No, however its a common practice amongst doctors who are financial spent at the end of their careers, check online.

You are still trying to justify what Okafor did by saying it is a common practice.

Who told you that what Okafor did is common among MDs down on their finances?

And what will make an average MD in the US go broke outside divorce alimony payments or legal issues stemming from malpractice.


The average medical doctor of 35ys in service is swimming in money. In the 90s before the import of MDs from third world countries, the average MD in the US earned on average a million USD per annum and most sat on the board of the medical company they worked at.

Medical doctors earn very good money.

Even Okafor operated his own private practice and might not earn as much as corporate employed doctors but he still earns a lot from MEDICAID payments.

So my question to you : what drove Okafor to venture into crime ? Was it divorce rape payments through alimony or was he setting a civil suit arising from past malpractice? I doubt malpractice because if he was found guilty of such, he would have lost his license to practice talk more of owning and operating his own clinic

The truth is that Okafor is a greedy bastard with a criminal bone.

Its not black and white like that. Medicine is not as lucrative as its painted to be. Forget the advertised luring of immigrants with crazy numbers put in public space.
Its America dont forget MC Hammer had 3 private jets at the peak of his career, and went broke, Mike tyson made 400 million , went broke, Goerge foreman made 200 million and went broke.
If all these guys made these money and went broke, who is a doctor that will earn max 5-7 million net in his career fro earned income.
FYI: I am not justifying his action. But trust me doctors are not swimming in money. They are comfortable if they manage their money well.

referencing Mike Tyson and Hammer who were careless spenders who bankrupted themselves through their own recklessness doesn't apply here.

A Medical Doctor doesn't have the time to waste on going on a spending spree. Their job schedules do not allow for time to go to clubs .

Okafor was and is greedy and has a criminal mindset.

Okafor as an MD is at the top of the totem pole.

I know a Nigerian Doctor in the US who owns his own practice and has a chain of Nursing schools in the east coast all from investing and taken loans against his wages when he was still working for a medical hospital firm.

There are even young doctors from Anambra in the US who are building hotels in the SE, Abuja and Lagos from loans the took out from several properties they bough with their salaries. As a MD in the US, you credit score will be so high that banks will loan you money at interest rates as low as 1.5 to 2%

If okafor wanted to make money on the side , there are easier and legit ways to go about it. Okafor is just a criminal and a greedy bastard.

I agree with you, Okafor being a criminal.
But all the other stuff you wrote is just ignorant nonsense....lol
You are completely clueless on how leverage is given by banks and used in America
Sorry. I am not going to waste time explaining to you. But if you want to learn, use AI and self educate.
You are presenting hearsay like you witnessed it.....lol
Thats not how the system works. I will advice you to do knowledgeable research before you come online and talk about what you dont know.

Forget trash talk.

At least I ended your foolish excuses for your bloda's criminal career.

Okafor is not just a greedy bastard but he is suffering from a criminal mindset


Any other rubbish you wrote afterwards, I won't waste my time in responding to .

But just know that I know the US and how they operate more than you.

You keep assuming i am igbo....lol
You are delusional. You are arguing with hearsay
Loan against wages.....hahahahahahaha
So whats the collateral ? You think they are stupid
No one gives you a loan in America without a collateral thats worth more than the loan.
Even if they give you a car loan, they keep the title, If you miss payment they will carry the car.
But they are giving loans for your brothers to come and build hotels in southeast ?
Arochukwu hotels ? Or Dibia hotels ?......lololololololol

They will tell you Nigeria is the problem, take them to the "saner clines" and boom you find out they have always being the problem.

And this fool above me thinks it's competition.

Igbos are the only people that start looking for other people to call when they get caught.

Talk about killings by IPOB in the SE they will tell you people are also being killed in the North, talk about drugs, they will start mentioning other just like the Op did, talk about fraud they will mention Hush puppy.

For them it's a competition.
And it looks like they are winning in every negative news

The st*pid people within the context of this conversation are your father and mother who didn’t teach you manners.
You were insinuating that crimes are exclusive to Igbos, but the reports show that crimes know no ethnicity.

A lot of them just never want to be accountable. I was in Ladipo two weeks ago, and was shocked they are the same way in real life. But not all of them sha. Cos there was one Igbo woman there that was stating this obvious fact you just stated, about how most of her people don't like to be accountable. They always shift blame. I respected the woman for standing up to those men that day.
And Yorubas are accountable? My mechanic is a Yoruba man and that guy is cr*minal who thinks he can get away with his bad behavior by genuflecting and bowing. That’s how you guys disguise your bad behavior.
