To even think he started his medical training at UI cheesy

Most of those Nigerians you hear doing wonders abroad all graduated from Nigerian universities.

Brain drain has been on going for years, and still ongoing steadily.

Nigeria hasn't got her priorities straight at all. She trains her youth, to benefit other countries. Trainings that costs the Federal govt millions of dollars when you look at it critically...

Early this year, Wale Adebanwi became the first Black African Rhodes professor at Oxford university.

Dr Oluyinka Olutoye performed surgery on a baby and returned her back to her mother’s womb.

A wise person will ask why they are unable to achieve such feats in their own country.
The wiser person will take steps/action to ensure that the enabling environment is created here for such achievements.

It simply shows the quality of most people who comment these days.
It may be a reflection of the type of stories that make front page.
If you have Tonto, Hushpuppy, two-fighting etc stories, what can one expect?
Then add recession plus joblessness and youths being fed by their parents to get the full picture.

Most educated, most industrialised yet ordinary tap water is not available in most parts of Yoruba land?
Have we forgotten that "Esin iwaju ni ti eyin n wo sare"?
Which sensible person benchmarks himself to less performing people or groups?
No wonder our governors are paying half salaries and owing several months and years of salaries and pensions while forming shameless constituted authority.

Waoooo am impressed with what I am reading here. This is an epitome of yoruba man. Always do well in his or her assignments. Really hard work pays. This man has came out to stand out from his colleagues and become great in his field. I pray for long life and prosperity. Well no one should envy anyone again. Yoruba will always be great in their works cos they involve God in their assignment and involve integrity and honesty in their assignment. This is the results of your works when you are honest and exercise integrity.

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.

It's time you stop bin tribalistic

What are you gonna say about this Hausa Man, Jelani Aliyu, he designed General Motor's First Electric car. The Chevrolet Volt

What about Doctor Philip Emeagwali inventor of the world's fastest computer.

I am from the Yoruba Clan but I do appreciate every tribe cause we are all humans with different cultures. The same blood that flows in my vein flows in every other humans out there in the world. So why the hate? #Before we find world peace we gotta put aside the hate for fellow human.
