Nwando Olayiwola

She is yoruba married to igbo man... Hence igbo surname... They even have two kids

Olayiwola is masculine name.
Female yoruba won't bear such.

No Abokis among them

Davash222:
Are there no medical practitioners in the North? Are they restricted from practising in US? Or is it Haram to practise in US Asking for my neighbor, sha.

If you ask me? Na eji I go ask?

But this question get as e bi sha.

Just imagine if Yoruba people and Igbo people UNITE AS ONE and form their own country. That country will be competing with the likes of England, and France. But no. The two smartest tribes in Africa spent most of their time playing politics.

CreekCommando:

I tire ooo, apart from looting and politics. You will never see a northerner at the forefront.
This tells you alot. The educated left governance for the non educated. That's why we are moving backwards despite the large human and intellectual capacity of our nation.

martowskin1:
UNTIL YORUBA AND IGBOS AGREE TO WORK TOGETHER, NIGERIA won't MOVE FORWARD... It's SO OBVIOUS THE COMBINATION OF THIS TWO TRIBE WILL TAKE NIGERIA TO ITS DESTINATION... BUT RATHER COMBINING THEIR STRENGTHS AND LOOK FOR SOLUTIONS TO NIGERIA PROBLEM, THEYR ARE BUSY FIGHTING... IDIOTS

You are right. And unfortunately, this division has led the inapt to take hold of the affairs and dragging the country into a comatose state.

abi brain dey pain you ni?

God1stson:
Your so called oppression is not in Nigeria. Hello! It's in America where merit is rewarded.Allow a level playing ground for all people in Nigeria and see other tribes take up the challenge. Emir Sanusi saw it coming at Ei-rufai birthday, but some myopic minds are still fighting the obvious reality up North.

jeez calm down I was only praising them

Five (5) outta the 10 names are YORUBA's, Naturally Brilliant set of people...Omo Odua

weblord1900:
They think it's by showing Benz, Rolls Royce and Ferrari on salah day.

You wicked small

DenreleDave:
She is a lady....

Of course, I know she is a woman otherwise while will they use 'she' in her citation.

The argument here is which is her first name and which is her surname.

She is NWANDO married to OLAYIWOLA

Dr Bennett omalu is the best doctor in the u.s

Cc meleszenawi

YorubaKing:
60% are Yoruba! Fact!

When you're on top of your "food-chain", who dem born well to challenge you?

Is there anything positively great in this nation not dominated by the Yorubas?

Nothing

We just don't shout!

Unlike them

5 Igbos and 5 Yorubas... Honestly I love the riverly between this two tribes, Yoruba will make a fine nation if only they will key into Olive Branch offered to them by Igbos and go for oduduwa republic... But Fulani spell on them will not allow them be

Kekereekun123:

You are funny or maybe you don't stay there... say what you know.

Basic123:
Nothing

We just don't shout!

Unlike them

5 out of 10 is 50%, please read o make you for no insult yourself for public forum.
Tribalism is bad but if you want to do it, do it well.
Learn to read before quoting, he said out of 5000 practitioners.
The op, excluded 2 top practitioners because they are above the others (I think), do well to check their names.

Those guys are Americans.. why do nigerians like claiming already made people?

Well done doc, we are proud of you all

DenreleDave:

I don't know much about Igbo but I asked my girl she said that Igbo doesn't have Nwando as surname.

She also said its an all girl's name and doesn't even come close to being a surname.

She said the name is peculiar to Anambra people.

But then, I know about that Dr Nwando even before now.

Mynightmare:
a yoruba man believes an average igbo man as his competitor, hence they are comfortable to play second fiddle to spite the igbo man.

Lolzzzz

Nigeria na wa o. I saw the caption Maduka, Ali, and Igwilo, top the list of Nigerian medical practitioners; but, when I tried to read the article I saw Maduka tailing the list. How long will our ethnic bigotry last?

Mynightmare:
a yoruba man believes an average igbo man as his competitor, hence they are comfortable to play second fiddle to spite the igbo man.

Lol... You only said what your wicked and lying parents told you about the Yorubas. Yorubas don't care about your existence.

Putting urself first doesn't transform to cheating, everyman in any situation will want what will be best for him which is obtainable from any tribe, but if you talk of cheating you need to educate me more on how the igbo tribe are cheaters , , and for being tribalistic, urs smells from ir write up.

DenreleDave:
We hate cheaters....... I am not tribalistic pls but igbo people put themselves first b4 others..


I - I
G - go
B- before
O - others


So not many people are okay with such behavior..


Anyway one Nigeria
