Broda Otedola !

We have heard the audio chips,let's see the video Egbon ! Or Upload it on Youtube make we see am abeg !

Enough of all these drama !

Haven't we see a lot more crazier case in the country that went underground and out of the hearing and sight before ?

Abeg make una carry go we are tired of the country and una yeye politcal,economical,social and hysterical drama abeg !

Same old stories !

DNA FOR ALL NIGERIAN BORN CITIZENS AND ITS RESIDENTS IS THE BEGINNING OF THE SOLUTION !

Why are we burdened with so much unnecessary rancour and unsolved mystery murders in Nigeria and then we keep employing the services of men and women with popular names of cheap promises delivering vague results.

Is not high time we all as Nigerian citizens take the DNA test for our own safety and security to start with at first.

When we the citizens are deluded and broken by rampant serial killings,assassination,homicides of this kind which goes randy and prominently happens everyday by it's minutes like a stock exchange price listings and changes,and the president,his aides and cohorts who are saddled with the responsibility of fixing the menace cannot be proactive enough to find solutions but keeps looking like a pack of tiny toddlers and young children playing the game of a 'Round a Round the village' if I may jokingly put will only lead us into more worsened situations that would not be irreparable or psychologically be retained by our feeble and innocent mindset as part of our Nigerian History and everyday living tragedies as it is obtainable in the Pakistans,Palentines,Mid-west bombers and Arab-related Suicidal attacks.


Does it not sound well to Security to approach a well meaning and positive solutions in capturing and probably tagging the lead culprit or groups involved by taking more pragmatic approach like the following !

-Conducting an all-citizen and subjective DNA test.
Any serial killer or group can easily be monitored and traced instead of doubtful guesses and mind-gambling of who could be responsible for what murder or another.

A simple DNA would reduce the services of non-intelligent and uneducated Police force as been seen today for a lot of our graduates with special disciplines can authoritatively employ their skills as they also would do it patriotically.

The Presidency had better taken the interest of himself,his family,his kindreds,his country and the citizens. So seriously by looking into this result-oriented and more pragmatic approach of finding those committing murderous crimes and serial killings and still go scot-free and unchecked is really saddening and not very funny at all.

The answer is an all citizen of Nigeria -DNA program

DNA is the absolute solution before another mass slaughtering or genocide rear its ugly head again.

DNA for all citizen is the beginning of the solution,enough of all these guess-works !

DNA. DNA. DNA.

If they are not among the first Hundred,then why all the hype and hullabaloo for !

Sealeddeal: To end the bloodletting in nigeria,negotiation may be a gud way for that.we have to know first,what we are looking for.if we are looking for peace,we need to negotiate but if we are looking for justice,we keep on fighting..but dnt forget that,blood will continue to be shed as long as the fight goes on.For those that are saying,boko haram has killed our brothers,our parents,our children,therefore,no negotion..i want to remind them that in the course of continued hostility,more people's blood are likely to be shed.i do know sincerely that boko haram activity cant be compared with Militancy in Niger delta but it should be know that negotiation is not only made for niger delta type militancy.Negotiation is made in interest of peace.Boko haram is creating a bad image of nigeria,frustrating the govt,drawing nigeria back and the worst is that its quite obvious that nigeria govt cant stop boko haram with war.America can fight terrorism for many reasos quite obvious but they still never won any.America yearly security budget sometimes do reach 750billion dollars.America techinical sophistry is not comparable to any oda nation in the world.America intelligence agency is 3rd in the world.America military capability is greatest.yet,america never stopped terrorism against them.so saying dat since america doesnt negotiate,we should negotiate is a big error and arrant ignorance.

Are u related to them ? Its just a question o

mu2sa2: Late Yar'adua negotiated with terrorists and succeeded, why should negotiating with another set of terrorists be perceived as wrong? Dont tell me that Niger Delta militants were known and fighting for a cause. BH is also the same:their leaders are not jinns, and from 2001 to 2009 BH never engaged in violence, just preaching for social justice and end to corruption. So, it's easy to deal with BH if there is sincerity from FG. People who advocate force and more force forget that violence begets violence. Ask Americans - ten years in Afghanistan with all their missiles, drones, intelligence and MONEY and they hav failed to secure even Kabul the capital city. Dont expect that our rag-tag security forces, corrupt and unreliable as they are,can fare better here.Dialogue, dialogue,dialogue is better than violence. Let's all work for peace and surely God will hear our prayers for peace.

Mr man,go and sit down or leave the country,you and their sins are catching up with them.

No dialogue,Hausas are Terrorists and they must be checked.

US and UN allied forces must intervene,Hausas started the killings because of Sharia,killed thousands of innocent xtians and you now want what kind of Negotiation.

Niger Delta militants fought for the interest of its people,they were not selfish and did not carry out Genocidal and Homicidal attacks,they protested against oil injustice and not religion.

Hausas need to be checked in this country,othertwise we all shall wake up one day and find ropes,chains,cuffs on our hands tied up as slaves by Hausas.

Hausas appointed a Security post,Hausa has the contacts of this same Terrorists.

Nigerians wake up from your slumber,islamic terrorist wants to use Nigeria as a scapegoat as against other countries they have failed.

A WORD IS ENOUGH FOR THE WISE !!!

Ahmedie25: Sentiment has blocked our sense of reasoning,why condeming dialogue with bokoharam when Yar'adua dialogue with Niger Delta guys & it work, sentiment is Nigeria worst problem

Lord Jesus help us !!!

Another Boko Haram on Nairaland

Is it computer that carries out all these ratings or human generalisation ?

Hmm

Dear Nairaland Management,

I Want you all to understand that the moment you start hiding peolple's heartfelt messages,you have started declining us of freedom of expression as obtained and accepted in the ethics of internet freedom of self opinion and expression.

If like one of the posters had said about
The BET Awards on how Whizkid and Sarkodie are being awarded back stage,does it not say in magnitude that people's opinion are also being sidelined off stage too ?

It is self expression and if you cannot arrest someone via the internet,so what is so scary or secret that someone has said or posted that the whole world hasn't heard or seen before that has made you ''Nairaland to hide people's opinion.

And secondly ,we have better stories and congent articles that are sizzling hot to resist,but you have decided to give only few people that priviliedge to air their own views

Shey na only una sabi share news and articles.

Pls make it a liberally free forum and stop limiting other peoples contributions because without them,I don't think you'll all be here.

Just saying my own mind,if you like hide my posts and stop me also from contributing my fresh and new articles,na God go eventually judge you.
Holla !!!

I CAN STAKE MY BELT fOR USAIN BOLT ANYTIME ANYDAY.

AND IF ANYONE WANTS TO BET,LET'S WAIT TILL THE GAMES BEGIN AND WE CAN START FROM THERE.

BOLT IS A MASTERPLANNER AND HE'S ACTUALLY GIVIN YOHAN ALL THE PRESENT HYPES SO THAT ON THE D DAY,HE'LL ACTUALLY SHUT HIS CRITICS MOUTH

WATCH OUT FOR BOLT BREAKING HIS OWN RECORD AGAIN.

lastpage: It seems you dont even know what "UNIVERSITY EDUCATION" is all about?

Now, Let me break it down for you.......as in course 101:
University Education widens your knowledge, widens your thinking, widens your horizon and thus, using training from a diverse pool of courses (as much as possible) so that when you go out into the "Employee or Employer World", you are AS PREPARED AS POSSIBLE to either "hit the ground running" or to catch-up with a few weeks Training "Upgrade".

So, that an Engineer works as a cashier or becomes a CEO, is no big-deal!...Or dont we have Engineers and Doctors that became Chartered Accountants?

Ajavascript:void(0);gain, what is all this rubbish about "everybody wan work for bank"?
If the banking sector, like the Oil or Telecoms sector, is well-paying, why should people who are confident in their abilities not desire to work in those Sectors?
Have you ever worked in those sectors before?
Go and ask those who work there, ask how many "Qualifying Test and Interviews" they have to scale, to get a job in that sector..
And it is so all over the world.


If those at Management level of a bank use customers money to gamble and pay for their lavish lifestyles (Buying jeeps for themselves every year, taking loans they have no intention of repaying and awarding lavish "estacodes" to themselves).....is that the fault of those being sacked now?

What is the contribution of a "Supervisor or Banking Officer" grade-staff for example, to the financial and policy decision making of a Bank? Naaada!!
But when the chicken come hoem to roost and the bank runs into problems, they are the one to be sacked,....by the same Management level staff that mis-managed the bank!
It is the fault of a "bad system" that glorifies thievery, human abuse and cronyism!

Anyway, the lower cadre staff are the "Pawns" in this game of financial chess, the 'Kings and Queens that eat the fat' are always delighted when they see the Pawns blaming and tearing themselves to pieces, over what they know nothing about!

Lastpage!

BOSS I DON'T THINK YOU STILL GET WHAT THE GUY IS SAYING !

IF AS A MEDICAL DOCTOR OR ENGR YOU NOW HAPPEN TO FIND BANKING INTERESTING,THEN IT'S NO PROBLEM
AS LONG AS YOU CAN FACE THE RIGOROUS TASKS OF TRAINING WHICH IS EMBEDDED IN THE FOUNDATIONAL ETHICS AND PROFESSIONALISM ASSOCIATED WITH BANKING AND ACCOUNTING.


IN WHICH IT IS ALMOST LIKE YOU BURNING-UP YOUR MEDICAL CERTS AND DECIDING TO START AFRESH AS IF YOU NEVER HAD GRADUATED BEFORE.

SO IF YOU LIKE,TAKE ICAN,CIBN,ACCA,AS AN ENGR OR WHATEVER YOU WILL START AT FOUNDATION,AND IF CATCH UP WITH THE CORE ACCOUNTING SKILLS AND KNOWLEDGE IN ABOUT 3 OR 4 YRS YOU CAN BE A FULL FLEDGED ACCOUNTANT WHICH IS THE BASIC EQUIVALENT DURATION OR TENOR FOR UNDERGRADUATE BANKING OR FINANCE,NO MORE,NO LESS.

BUT HOW MANY OF THESE SCIENCE BASED CANDIDATES ACTUALLY WANT TO TAKE UP THIS CHALLENGE ?

I SEE A TOTALLY GREEDY YOUTHS,MORE REASONS,THERE ARE HIGH TOLL OF FRAUDS IN BANKS BECOS SOME OF THESE SET OF NON BANKING GRADUATES LACK THE BASICS OF THE TRADE.

THEY ALWAYS WANT TO BRING IN CHURCH VALUE OR MOSQUE VALUE PRINCIPlES AS REPLACEMENT TO FOUNDATIONAL ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES AND ETHICS AS SUCH AS UTMOST GOOD FAITH.

IT CAN NEVER WORK,A NON BANKER SHOULDN'T BE CLAIMING HE CAN DO BANKING WHEN ALL HE HAS HIS A 2 MONTHS OR EVEN WEEKS OF SPENDTHRIFT TRAINING WITH THE. BANK

IF YOU PLACE AN ENGR IN RISKY POSITIONS AS BANKING AND IGNORE EXPLOITING THE VALUABLE SKILLS OF SOMEONE WHO ACTUALLY STUDIED BANKING AND ACCOUNTING,HOW DO YOU EXPECT SUCH PERSON WHOSE WHOLE STUDIOUS LIFE IN SCHOOL WAS SPENT HANDLING TOOLS TO UNDERSTAND FULL AND INDEPTH PRINCIPLES OF BANKING,HE WILL NOT ONLY FAIL BUT ALSO FAIL WITH BANK,THAT'S WHY WE HAVE FAILED BANKS THESE DAYS,

SECONDLY,WE HAVE WRONG AND ONE OF THE MOST STUDIEST EMPLOYERS AND HUMAN RESOURCES WHO PUT A PHYSICIAN ABOVE A BANKING AND FINANCE GRADUATE BECAUSE HE DIDN'T HAVE THE COMMON DEGREE THAT ALL HAS,IGNORING THE POTENTIALS OF THE OTHER CANDIDATE THAT HAVE SPENT IS STUDIOUS LIFE READING BANKING AND ACCOUNTING DAY IN,DAY OUT BECAUSE HE POSSESS ANOTHER EQUIVALENT DEGREE,IS THAT A PROFESSIONALISM ?

BANKING IS NOT MEANT TO BE LIFE SAVERS FOR JOBLESS SCIENCE GRADUATES,THEY'LL NEVER UNDERSTAND IT,EXCEPT. THEY TAKE THE NORMAL 4 YEAR COURSE,THEIR APPROACH MIGHT LOOK PROFITABLE AT FIRST,BUT HOW MANY OF THESE SCIENCE PROS WOULD AGREE THAT NOT ALL PROFITS ARE INCOME,IF YOU TELL THEM,THEY'LL LAUGH AT YOU AND SACK YOU !

A MEDICAL BANKER BOSS ONCE STUPIDLY MOCKED AND ARGUED WITH HIS JUNIOR BANKING COLLEAGUE THAT A CAR IS A LIABILTY,THINGS THE YOUNG BANKING GRADUATE HAD ARGUED OUT AND PROFESSIONALLY HAD ACCEPTED AS AN ASSET AT 100 LEVEL WAY BACK IN UNDERGRAD AFTER ENOUGH TUTELAGE BY LECTURERS,NOW AN ARROGANT MEDICAl BANKER WANTS TO COME AND CHANGE A THOUSAND-YEAR OLD BANKING AND ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLE.

IF THE OWNERS OF BANKS FAIL TO UNDERSTAND THAT ONLY A PARTICULAR SET OF PROFESSIONALS CAN DO THEIR JOBS MORE FLAWLESSLY AND ENGAGE THE SERVICES OF WRONG PROS AT CRITICAL POSITIONS AND LEADERSHIP,IT WILL PUT MORE TOXINS IN THE SYSTEM,BECAUSE NON BANKING GRADUATES UNDERSTANDS THAT THERE'S A PRINCIPLE IN ACCOUNTING CALLED ''GOING CONCERN PRINCIPLE'' WHERE AN ORGANISATION MUST AND NOT JUST EXPECTED TO AS A LAY MAN WOULD THINK,RUN IN PERPETUITY AND NOT FOLD-UP OR LAY-OFF STAFFS WITHOUT ABOSUTELY CHECKING ALL KEY INDICES.

BANKING IS NOT ALL ABOUT FLOUTING,NOISE-MAKING,SCANDULOUS ACCOUNT RENDERING,LOTTO AND BONANZAS,ENGINEERING,MEDICINE,PHYSICS,CHEMISTRY.

BANKING IS STEWARDSHIP RENDERED BY CORE PROFESSIONALS WHO HAS INDEPTH KNOWLEDGE OF FINANCE AND ECOMICAL SCIENCE OF KEEPING A CLIENT'S STOCKS AND VALUABLES BY ENSURING IT WORKS FOR THEM WITHOUT LOOSING ITS WORTH.

A BANKER IS A PROFESSIONAL WHO MUST HAVE GRADUATED FROM AN ACCREDITED BUSINESS OR BANKING SCHOOL AND NOT AN ENGINEERING,MEDICAL OR DRAMA SCHOOL,WHO HAVING GRADUATED AND CERTIFIED TO HAVE READ A SOCIAL SCIENCES AND WELL TUTORED IN AT LEAST 2 TO 3 YEARS IN ACCOUNTING OR BANKING CAN AND SHOULD BE PUT AS STEWARD TO SAFEGUARD AND RENDER THE STOCKS OF ITS CUSTOMERS ECONOMICALLY WELL.
LET FAULTY HUMAN RESOURCES IN SOME OF THESE BANKS PUT THEIR ACTS TOGETHER,BANKING IS NOT A GOLDMINE.

LET ALSO GREEDY GRADUATES FROM OTHER. DISCIPLINES INCLUDING SOCIAL SCIENCES START SOMETHING FOR THEMSELVES,THEY SEEK FOR HELP,SOLICIT,OR BORROW,NOT DOING NOTHING DOESN'T MAKE YOU LOOK LAZY TO OTHERS,IN FACT HOLD YOURSELF UP HIGH BECAUSE YOU WERE CONTENDED WITH YOUR SCIENCE DEGREE AND DID NOT PROSTITUTE YOUR DEGREE fOR A BANKING CAREER YOU NEVER BARGAINED FOR .

dani1luv: Any attempt to bypass the word censor is AGAINST forum rules and will warrant a ban.



You will have noticed that certain words have been censored on the forum. This is in order to maintain a level of decorum and to avoid drawing undue attention to the forum or affecting innocent minds that might browse the forum.

While mature issues regarding intimacy and sexuality can be discussed, it is the forum intent to control the use of certain words in this regard. Please abide by the rules, as the words are routinely examined to see if they truly merit being removed or not and this will be an ongoing process.

While we try to do this, some members are intentionally bypassing the censor system by posting words that are similar or not identical to the censored word

For example, instead of using the crude word for intercourse (starting with f) some use will repeat the last letter e.g 'fucccckkk' others will replace a letter with a symbol, e.g aS$, while others will spell out the words using dashes e.g G-A-Y.

The list above is not comprehensive but just an indication of the various methods used.

Any attempt to bypass the word censor is AGAINST forum rules and will warrant a ban.

Following this clear announcement, the following enforcement measures are going to be implemented as of 22-01-2009.

1. First offence - instant 2 day ban

2. Second offence 7 day ban

Damn !! School Authorities could have segregated them on basis of their crimes.

How are we to know the ones for exams malpractices and the ones for illegal associations and the names of their illegal associations.

But all the same,it is a great damage on their future.

What a waste of University ambition.

I pity them.

gulfer: A 22-year-old Nigerian has emerged the best graduating student of John Hopkins University in the United States. He obtained a Grade Point Average of 3.98 out of a possible 4.0 to earn a degree in Neurosciences.

A 22-year-old Nigerian, Emmanuel Ohuabunwa, has made history at John Hopkins University, United States of America. Ohuabunwa from Arochukwu, Abia State, has done the nation proud by becoming the first black man to make a Grade Point Average of 3.98 out of 4.0 to bag a degree in Neurosciences in the university. He was also adjudged as having the highest honours during the graduation that was held on May 24 this year.

For his efforts, he has won a scholarship to Yale University to pursue a degree in medicine. Besides, he has been inducted into Phi Beta Kappa Society, a prestigious honour group that features membership of 17 US Presidents, 37 US Supreme Court Justices, and 136 Nobel Prize winners.

According to Wikipedia, The Phi Beta Kappa Society is an academic honour society. Its mission is to “celebrate and advocate excellence in the liberal arts and sciences” and induct “the most outstanding students of arts and sciences at America’s leading colleges and universities.”

It was founded at The College of William and Mary on December 5, 1776, and thus it is the oldest honour society for the liberal arts and sciences and among the oldest undergraduate societies in the US.

In an online interview with our correspondent, Ohuabunwa, who was born in Okota, Lagos and attended Lilly Fields Primary School, Lagos, said he left Nigeria after his junior secondary school education at Air Force Comprehensive School, Ibadan, Oyo State.

“My parents moved the whole family when I was 13 years old. I was about to begin SS1 at Air Force, Ibadan. When I got to the US, I was enrolled with my age mates, which meant at 13, I was in middle school. I went to Fondren Middle School, which was in the middle of the ghetto. That was one of the darkest years for me because I encountered a lot of peer pressure. Some of the students, ignorant about Africa, bullied me and called me names such as ‘African booty scratcher’ because to them, Africans were dirty and scratched their butts all the time.

“Some asked me if I lived in mud huts and ate faeces for breakfast. I remember one day, when I was walking to the school bus, a boy came from behind and punched me in the face, called me an African and walked away. It took everything in me not to retaliate. I knew that God had put me in the U.S for a purpose and it did not involve fighting or selling drugs or doing the wrong things.

“My experience during that year gave me a thick skin. I learned to stand for what I thought was right even when the opposition seemed insurmountable. I also learned to look at the positive in all situations. Even though these kids were bullying me, I was still gaining an opportunity to school in America and nothing would stop me from making the best of this opportunity.

“The shocker was that the kid that punched me in the face was black. I would have expected the blacks to be nicer to me. Nevertheless, I don’t blame those kids because they were ignorant about Africa. All they knew about us was the stuff they had watched on TV or documentaries, showing primitive African tribes, living in the jungle and making noises like monkeys.

“In regards to the whites, there might have been some minor episodes but again I don’t blame them for it because it is a problem with stereotypes,” he said.

But in spite of this humiliation and racial prejudice against him, the first in a family of three was not discouraged. He faced his studies and was always coming top in his class. After he completed his middle school education, he passed the entrance examination to DeBakey High School for Health Professions. It was at this school that his interest in neurosciences and medicine started.

“By the second year of high school, we were able to interact with doctors, nurses and other administrators in the hospital. The more I learned about medicine, the more it felt like the thing God was calling me to pursue and by being in the US I got a lot of people to support me to do this. Even though in high school, I got to see first-hand what it meant to be a doctor. We studied advanced anatomy and physiology, learned medical terminology, and learned important skills, such as checking blood pressure, pulse rate, and many more.

“I knew I wanted to go to the best school in the US. I had heard that Johns Hopkins Hospital had been ranked the number one hospital in the US for the past 21 years and I wanted to be in that environment.’’

Worried that his parents might not be able to sponsor him to the university, Ohuabunwa purposed to work very hard. He did and when the result of the PSAT came, he performed so well that he won the National Achievement Scholar.

By virtue of this award, he received certificates of recognition from various organisations including senators from the Congress of both Texas and the US. He also received scholarship from the University of Houston; Rice University, Texas A&M Honors College and many more.

He had also won the Principal’s Award during the annual awards ceremony at DeBakey High School.

“During our graduation ceremony at DeBakey, I also won the Award for the Most Outstanding Senior Young Man and the student volunteer award for my volunteer activities in the State of Texas,” he said.

But his breakthrough came when he won the Bill and Belinda Gates Foundation full scholarship to any university of his choice. He worked hard and gained admission to Johns Hopkins University to study Neurosciences.

But why Neurosciences, Ohuabunwa said, “I studied Neuroscience, because I was fascinated with the brain, its control of our behaviours and how various diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease, lead to a decline in its activity. I also minored in Psychology because I wanted to understand disorders in the psyche. What causes bipolar disorders or schizophrenia. I did not just want to label them as crazy but to understand what causes these conditions and how we can treat them,’’ he explained.

But what does he consider to be the missing links in the education sector of Nigeria when compared with that on offer in US, Ohuabunwa said unpredictable academic calendar, corruption, examination malpractice and inadequate funding were some of the problems confronting his home country’s university sector. These, he said, were absent in the US.

“There were a few problems with Nigerian higher education that contributed to our emigration in 2003. The first was the number of strikes that occurred in schools. It took my uncle seven years to graduate with a degree that should have taken him only four years. A second problem was the corruption. We had heard of people going into universities, because they paid someone to look the other way. I also heard of a few cheating scandals, where people would pay someone to take their exams for them or get a copy of the exam a few days before,” he said.

But is he saying that US university system has no such problems at all? Ohuabunwa said, “Although this sometimes occurs in the U.S, it is less common because of the strict security. I remember when taking the Medical College Admissions Test, test required before one can matriculate into medical school, each student had to get his fingerprints taken every time we entered and left the hall. The whole place was packed with cameras and security staff that monitored everything we were doing. The exam was computerised to make sure that no one saw the test before the actual date.”

Another difference, he said, is that America rewards hard-work while the system also emphasises on a balance between academic life and extracurricular activities.

On how he won the scholarship to Yale, Ohuabunwa said his 3.98 GPA in Neurosciences, and many awards he had won and God’s grace, contributed to his winning the scholarship.

“As at the time of my application for medical school, I had a 3.98 GPA of a 4.0. This made me the only black student inducted into the prestigious Phi Beta Kappa. I was also awarded the Becker Family Scholarship for being the most outstanding student in the Neuroscience major at Johns Hopkins University. Furthermore, by God’s grace, I took the MCAT and scored in the top five percentile.

“That, combined with my hours of volunteer service in different hospitals across the US allowed me to gain acceptance into every medical school I applied to, including Harvard, Yale, Johns Hopkins, Columbia, and Cornell. As the time came to make a decision, I had narrowed it down to Harvard and Yale. Both schools, I enjoyed visiting. Nevertheless, while my parents prayed, they asked God to give us a sign of what school to attend. A few days later, I received a letter from Yale Medical School, offering me a full ride scholarship for all four years. That was the sign from God,” he said.

But would he come back to Nigeria after the completion of his programme, he said yes.

“I am absolutely interested in the health care policy decisions in Nigeria. Because there are many changes that need to occur, I will not rule out the possibility of coming back after my studies, in order to join hands with the leaders to make these changes possible.’’

He added that his ambition is to become a medical doctor specialising in brain surgery.

“Two weeks ago, my grandmother passed away after a long battle with strokes. Even during emergencies, it was difficult for her to get to the hospital, let alone get treatment. This is a common theme not only in the health care system of Nigeria, but in different countries in the world, where the poor get neglected.

“Second, Nigerian hospitals lack the infrastructure required to compete with major hospitals around the world. It would be an honour to one day contribute to this transformation that is necessary for improvements in Nigeria’s health care sector,” he said.

He, however, advised Nigerian youths who have the wherewithal, to go abroad to study. Ohuabunwa also called on wealthy Nigerians to invest more in the education of the poor rather than in acquisition of material things.

Ohuabunwa, however, said that his parents, who he described as his greatest role models, contributed a lot to his academic feat through Godly training, counsel and guidance. He also did not forget the impact that his short stay at Air Force school had on him.

“I was definitely not the brightest at Air Force. At that time, I felt like I spent more time running away from seniors than focusing on my studies. Nevertheless, I learned three things at Air Force that have served me well in the US. I learned discipline, adaptability and resilience. These attributes helped me a lot in US,” he said.
