Where did he get the money? Why did he invite a politician to commission it? This to me seems like a politician-sponsored project. Bite Me |

Ah, is anything about Nigeria not big? Now you've got the "Giant Hospital of Brooklyn" , located in "The Big Apple" (a.k.a New York) , built by a doctor from "The Giant of Africa" , hehehe |

What an achievement? Can you please do same in this country of ours? I wouldn't blame you if you don't, what with the spate of kidnapping especially in the eastern states where you come from. Thump up for you my dear. |

At least he is not on Nairaland bullying Nigeria and her people. |

Aloy+Emeka: He got the funds from the same place other people that build such hospitals get their funds from. Would you have asked the same question if he was white or non-Nigerian? What makes you think that he doesn't have access to millions of dollars, legally? How much of the money do you think he needs to come up with upfront? I don’t know him or know of him but based on his credentials, it is more likely than not that his “money” is traceable to a legal source. The last thing any “crook” would want to do is to try to launder dirty money in the US; they might get away with buying a house but building a multi-million dollar business? |

It is either poor journalism or much ado about nuffin. Many Nigerian dignitaries flew to yankie to go and commission the BIGGEST hospital and the name of the hospital was not mentioned throughout the report? |

The Reporter is a motorpark journalist. The so called "Biggest Hospital" is called 'AFAM Medical Center'. And the building is NOT owned by the Nigerian Doctor, he's just renting the first floor for his medical practice. It's located @ 5205 Church Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11203, phone number = (718) 688-8000. There're numerous other tenants including Nigerians and other doctors renting other parts of the building, but "Afam Medical Center" certainly has the biggest signpost. Having said all this, for clarity, let me also state; Dr. Obiakor is very well educated, has an impressive resume and is doing Nigeria proud. I'm proud of him and proud to call him my country man.[/ 1 Like |

Only a blind man won't know that a politician sponsored that project to get away from EFCC that is why is a politician from Home that do the Commisioning, so he do not have american black to do it for him if not criminal from home? we are not kids and can no longer be decieved, EFCC should go after him to confess. When did he come to america? what is his salary? |
Re: Nigerian Builds Biggest Hospital (AFAM CLINICS) In Brooklyn by GBT(m): 2:46pm On Sep 27, 2010 |
Atleast he had nevr hold political appointments,this will teach them (political office holders) to help keep our HARD EARNED FUNDS at home to help sustain our fragile economy. Spot on! |
Re: Nigerian Builds Biggest Hospital (AFAM CLINICS) In Brooklyn by ceej(m): 3:00pm On Sep 27, 2010 |
This is a hospital that is supposed to be built on Nigerian soil. But who will you blame,when there is no enabling environment here. Ndigbo Mma Mma nu! More powers to us. the Jews of Africa! |
Re: Nigerian Builds Biggest Hospital (AFAM CLINICS) In Brooklyn by Wallie(m): 3:03pm On Sep 27, 2010 |
Echidime: What are you trying to say about "american black to do it for him if not criminal from home??” Not that it really makes a difference; the guy started his BSc in the States in 1977 and continued on with his doctoral degree. NOT everybody that is successful in the US is a “crook”! Generally speaking, why is it so hard for Nigerians to be happy for their fellow citizen’s success? Do understand that I’m by no means defending this guy, as I do not know him or know of him, but don’t be quick to think the worst of him especially when he has a traceable source of income. |
Re: Nigerian Builds Biggest Hospital (AFAM CLINICS) In Brooklyn by Wallie(m): 3:09pm On Sep 27, 2010 |
LAX89: +1 It is just a neighborhood clinic with specialties but that doesn’t take away from the fact that it is still a laudable achievement since he will be providing employment for other doctors and obgyns. |

Re: Nigerian Builds Biggest Hospital (AFAM CLINICS) In Brooklyn by hackney(m): 5:26pm On Sep 27, 2010 |
What did they knock down to build that ? (in brooklyn ) Weird news. We need to look out for any past eastern governor that's a doctor; that's where the dosh came from. chikena. |

First of all, this, like so many other claims out there are not true. Doing a google check on this will reveal no similar report from any other source other than the Nigerian source the @Poster has up there. @Poster, can you please provide OTHER links to stories of the same corroborating this claim? We have heard of Nigerians inventing that which has already been invented, and Nigerians buying Gatwick, only to realize that the Nigerian in question is simply an employee of the investment company that purchased Gatwick. Please, we need to stop looking for silly hoorays, and start ensuring that stories we hear and read of from our newspapers are actually linked to facts. Learn to ask for details and maybe find folks to help you corroborate these claims. I can tell you that no new BIGGEST HOSPITALS has surfaced in Brooklyn, of all places, in the last say 10 years. |
Re: Nigerian Builds Biggest Hospital (AFAM CLINICS) In Brooklyn by JUO(m): 6:43pm On Sep 27, 2010 |
great work |
Re: Nigerian Builds Biggest Hospital (AFAM CLINICS) In Brooklyn by Wallie(m): 6:43pm On Sep 27, 2010 |
Kobojunkie: Can you substantiate your claim of him being just an employee? Also, while doing that, can you also tell what it means to “own” a company? How about “owning” a public company? Does “ownership” change if you bought a company with other people’s money (VC)? How about starting a company to control other people’s money; what kind of ownership is that? Adebayo Ogunlesi is the Chairman of Global Infrastructure Partners, the company that bought Gatwick. |
Re: Nigerian Builds Biggest Hospital (AFAM CLINICS) In Brooklyn by tpiah: 7:14pm On Sep 27, 2010 |
i'm still not sure why its news that another hospital has been added to the myriads of hospitals in america? not sure what i'm missing hence my question about the clinical rotation. i'm not knocking the man's achievements but the reporting leaves a lot to be desired, imo. |
Re: Nigerian Builds Biggest Hospital (AFAM CLINICS) In Brooklyn by AloyEmeka5: 7:19pm On Sep 27, 2010 |
tpiah: Its news because there are not many hospitals in America owned by a single person. Most of them are owned by giant cooperations and the few that has single proprietors have been acquired by investors due the cost of running healthcare in America. That is why I still ask where he got the funds. |
Re: Nigerian Builds Biggest Hospital (AFAM CLINICS) In Brooklyn by Wallie(m): 7:21pm On Sep 27, 2010 |
tpiah: Sensationalism or lack of anything else to report. |
Re: Nigerian Builds Biggest Hospital (AFAM CLINICS) In Brooklyn by tpiah: 7:25pm On Sep 27, 2010 |
Aloy+Emeka: says who? in any case, the reporting is off. |
Re: Nigerian Builds Biggest Hospital (AFAM CLINICS) In Brooklyn by Wallie(m): 7:37pm On Sep 27, 2010 |
Aloy+Emeka: Somewhat true. Most clinics are partnerships which are collectively owned by the partners (doctors). I doubt a non-doctor could own a share of a medical partnership, which is true for attorney partnerships. I couldn't find the name of the actual owners and just like I guessed, it is a community clinic. Here's the filed info with the State of NY. Current Entity Name: AFAM COMMUNITY OUTREACH PROJECT INC. Initial DOS Filing Date: MAY 08, 2007 County: KINGS Jurisdiction: NEW YORK Entity Type: DOMESTIC NOT-FOR-PROFIT CORPORATION Current Entity Status: ACTIVE Selected Entity Address Information DOS Process (Address to which DOS will mail process if accepted on behalf of the entity) AFAM COMMUNITY OUTREACH PROJECT INC. 5205 CHURCH AVENUE BROOKLYN, NEW YORK, 11203 Registered Agent NONE |
Re: Nigerian Builds Biggest Hospital (AFAM CLINICS) In Brooklyn by AkinEgba: 7:39pm On Sep 27, 2010 |
tpiah: AloyEmeka is correct. Most clinics in the US are co-orporation-owned. |
