Is The American Based Nigerian Doctor Contesting For The Coming Anambra Election by MrMicholo(m): 1:38pm On Nov 07, 2019
Philanthropy beyond boarders – Dr Godwin Maduka the Bridge Builder.

There is absolutely no word or phrase that seem adequate to aptly describe an indefatigable and enigmatic leader Like Dr. Godwin Maduka. A father to many, renowned global authority in the field of Medicine, an administrator par excellence, a successful entrepreneur, a scholar and a genius. He is a complete package, goldfish in a glass bowl. He is first an Igbo man, then a Nigerian. Worthy of note is that, he is a pioneer partner in the development of Awka capital territory (over 10yrs counting).

Today, his outstanding philanthropy has gone beyond Umuchukwu town. He built bridges connecting Umuchukwu with surrounding towns of Ogbunka and Owerrezukala. Replicated same project with access roads at Mbano – Imo State, also extending road to neighboring Abia State. Lion of Africa has done same for towns he visited with inaccessibility challenges around Anambra and south eastern states of Nigeria. With donations made running into millions for the construction of town hall at Ihite town – Orumba South, Churches, many towns in the state like Oko have benefited from his unique philanthropy. His direct and timely intervention in alleviating the plight of the masses, especially having built houses for indigent people in Umuchukwu and surrounding towns in Orumba, motivated the traditional rulers of Orumba to confer him a ranking chieftaincy title “Okosisi Orumba”.

Being one who detests segregation, he freely interacts with all, attending church services of both Anglican and Catholic denominations. Trained a good number of priests abroad (till date), has a library at St Paul’s School Awka named after him. Knowing that security is key to sustainable development, he has continued to invest in the nation’s security outfits (Army, Police, Civil Defence and Vigilante). Donated a Divisional Police Headquarters to the Police, built Barracks and Commands for Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) and Civil Defense respectively. He imported earth moving/heavy duty equipment which were used for the construction of Asaba Airport and construction works at Enugu State. The massive land acquired for a housing estate project at Orumba South will when completed, ease the accommodation challenges of Ndi Anambra. He’s not after self-aggrandizement, but the betterment of the people and development of the Igbo race. This is simply the hand of God at work, little wonder he attributes all to God.

Adịghị amụta aka ekpe na nká. Lion of Africa is totally different from the usual politician who have excellent blueprints with no evidence of capacity to translate it. It is natural for someone this experienced, exposed and empowered, to be reluctant in joining politics. But, the call to give the people of Anambra a #BetterLife has kept him unsettled. Thousands of Ndi Anambra actually look forward to Dr Maduka saying “Yes, this pain too shall pass”. Dr Godwin Maduka though his foundation, has positively touched lives across boards and built bridges that has translated to peace, unity and prospects for the people.

It is crystal clear, why every society with a genuine passion for it’s people, desire and deserve a “Man Like Dr Maduka”.

#HealThePain

philanthropy does not really relate to good governance. Rochas Okorocha's case is still fresh.

however, Dr. Maduka has nursed this idea pg becoming Anambra state governor for long f now is the time. He is from Anambra south c Senatorial zone as such fits in o . His recent decamping from nAPGA to PDP said it all.

Soludo is the reason why Anambrarians are still supporting APGA, should Obiano fail to hand over the ticket to Soludo APGA is gone!!!!

I love Maduka and what he has done with his money in Nigeria. He fought his employer in US for discrimination as most successful professionals experience in Foreign land.

The windfall from that case was wisely invested in the US and Nigeria.

It is a little disappointing that he had this motive to run for office and become a politician.

All of us cannot be politicians, God created each of us for individual task and Maduka is doing fine, even better than most politicians.

Eh, If I have to choose between him and the headless hustlers running around today, he would get my vote.

Stop these lie against anambra.

If Obiano tries and hand apga ticket to Soludo then it is obvious Apga will be formally buried in Anambra state.

Stop this ridiculous campaign of no gain. Soludo should forget about anambra governorship seat and enjoy his largasse from CBN.

Fielding Soludo is like giving APC weapon to finish by use of Efcc to destabilize and scatter Apga.

Ozoemena.

Please we don't need foreign Governor's again in Anambra state.

I support that notion. If you reside in California then contest for governorship position in California.

We don't need foreign thieves. Let's manage homegrown thieves we have here.

What does Dr. Maduka know about the political jungle of Anambra State? Being a medical doctor is not enough but sticking around humbly for a while and learning the rope critically before attempting to climb the throne is key.

you are just being emotional!!

what made u think Soludo won't win d election. Dr. Maduka knows he can't win Soludo at APGA primary reasons why he decamped.

APGA is Soludo, the moment the ticket is given to another person APGA will be buried

Even Soludo knows Obiano won't hand him that ticket so no need arguing it.

And Apga will win as far as Soludo is not on that box. Time has passed when we encourage and enthrone thieves and be calling them technocrats.


Soludo is a bad market to ndi anambra.

His godfather's are much and are locust waiting to devour....Mbanu.

God forbid.

No wonder he built 20 storey glass building inside thick village. Ogwu ego is not hard to spot. Political investments with no head or tail. If Anambra people don't vote for Soludo as their next governor, then peter obi was right to ask them; Is Anambra cursed or are Anambra people cursed?

Must he be interested in contesting for doing good for his people?

You should have asked is he in support of Biafra and the fall of the Nigger Area that cant do what he has done after 60 years of free oil money and domestic and foreign nyash....

"I built for my community" is not enough to win an election in Anambra state. There are household names like Ifeanyi Ubah (whose philanthropy spans the state/nation during GEJ's era) who couldn't win a gubernatorial election in Anambra state.

I believe Dr. Maduka tested the water with the full support he gave Mrs Bianca Ojukwu in the last senatorial election. And in his very presence, Bianca was outsmarted and thrashed at ground zero after boasting that about fifteen billionaires were backing her.
https://www.nairaland.com/4704646/15-igbo-billionaires-fund-bianca

Politics in Nigeria comes with a lot of fake promises. They will try to suck him in to swindle him. On the day of the primary, it will be like magic how loyalty will be switched. Whatever lesson he learned during the Bianca saga should be enough to guide him. But he doesn't run, sycophants won't "chop". Whose interests are at stake if he runs? Primarily the sycophants.

It wouldn't make a difference if Obama or Bill Clinton is Governor of Anambra or President of Nigeria. It has more to do with the current structure.
This doctor is probably wealthier than Anambra state . Anambra receives only $11 million dollars per month or 100 million dollars per year . After paying government workers and perhaps fixing a few mediocre roads and structures ,there's nothing left . Plus, the governor has to pay godfathers and other miscellaneous expenses (which is part of the current corrupt and disorganized system) .
I do not want to be president or governor in this corrupt and disorganized system because i'm sure there's not much i'll be able to do . I can only govern if Akwacross has autonomy and control over it's resources. Akwa ibom generates 1.2 Billion dollars per month or $15 billion dollars per year from oil alone, bu it receives only 55 million per month from Abuja. Imagine what 1.2 billion dollars can do . In addition to the oil revenue, I would explore and mine the numerous valuable resources in the Akwacross in addition to manufacturing and commerce and tourism.With that ,Akwacross would generate 200 billion dollars per year . With a population of only 4 to 5 million , the Akwacross would be a playground of construction.All Akwacross citizen would have free housing,healthcare, and receive monthly allowance of $3000 dollars per month .
Which oil did Japan have , what about Germany ? Or England

So the average anambra person can't pay 180k per year to have world class electricity, city , health , and education

Keep looking for free money ...tax is the only way Nation develop ....because it makes manipulating the people impossible

Oga that's a lie ...igr is 80% abi 85% to the state

Ok didn't know that .
Due to the fact Nigeria is such a porous society, I think one of the ways to implement and maintain the taxing system in a given jurisdiction would be by creating ID database. Also, I think there should be fewer states.
