Umuchukwu born Billionaire, Dr Godwin

Re: Igbos Most Industrious, Innovative and Richest Tribe In Africa see proof by Weinberg: 6:37am On Aug 17, 2017 |
Dr. Godwin Maduka is the Managing Director and founder Las
Vegas Pain Institute and Medical Centre, which is the largest
and most comprehensive pain treatment practice group in
Nevada, United States of America.
He is a philanthropist who in a blink of eyes transformed
Umuchukwu Community in Orumba South Legal Government
Area of Anambra state to a modern city. He built over 100
houses for widows and poor in Umuchukwu town, built both
primary and secondary schools and a gigantic medical centre
in the community.
Dr. Maduka also built a Police Station, barracks for the police
and Nigerian Civil Defence Corps. To proclaim his faith in God,
he also build and donated a Catholic and Anglican Churches
including priest’s house, community and Civic Centre, village
hall, Igwe’s palace, State High Court in Umuchukwu
community among others.
Dr. Maduka is an adjunct Clinical Professor of Anesthesiology,
Pain Management and Surgery from Touro University College
of Osteopathic Medicine.
Dr. Maduka recently granted interview to crop of journalists in
his country home, Umuchukwu when he visited Nigeria for the
burial of his elder brother, Onowu Sylvanus Obioma Maduka.
www.odogwublog.com reporter, was there and reports.
As a philanthropist, what can we attribute to your
philanthropy in Umuchukwu community?
Everybody knows that Umuchukwu in about 20 years ago
cannot boast of a common light or drinking water and all the
amenities eluded us. If you grew up in such abject poverty,
you will have no choice but to do something about it. I
started about 20 years doing something about it with the little
money I use to get before I have left over. I use to do
something, empowering people in the trade, training people in
school. I trained over 90 percent of lawyers in this state and
a lot of people in the higher education.
When you see people living in thatched houses in this
modern day, and you can do something about it, I think
everybody will like to do something about it because nobody
will like to live like that.
Today, there is no thatched house in Umuchukwu community
and most of the families can boast of their children in school.
So, the philanthropy is out of necessity. It is not a desire but
a necessity. You can’t make money and you come home with
a fine car and find out that people around you are suffering
and dying. We use to send people to Annunciation Hospital in
Enugu because of simple illness and that is why I have to
build a hospital here and furnish it, we don’t need to be
sending them away. Even if I am not around, they have to be
going there for treatment.
We didn’t have even elementary school not to talk of
secondary school. So, today we have both because people
don’t need to trek more than miles away to get basic
education. So the things we do here is out of necessity.
What is your motivation in all these?
I think that religious believe have something to do with what
we do. Faith is another reason. If you believe you can do
something, you can do that. If you also believe that you are
the medium which God Almighty can use to help people
because He doesn’t come down here to peoples’ homes. So,
motivation has religious background. Also necessity like I
said. Abject poverty can also influence one to do something
good. I was in this town so poor that if you ask me to raise
five thousand naira, it would take me a year to do that. Our
town Umuchukwu was then known for town of native doctors
and farmers. They didn’t believe much about formal
education. Man was that illogical and unimaginable chance
and I took it and I was able to pay back to my city.
In the midst of all these efforts to touch people’s lives, do
you encounter opposition?
I am so glad that it happens because it makes me a better
man. How can you even be alive and people accuse you of
things you never done and it comes from somebody in your
house – your next door neighbors. But truth never dies. No
matter how long you try to cover the truth one day it will
surface. That is what happened to me. The press at one
point are thinking that I am just a monster but in my religious
believe I said one day, people will realize what I am. After 20
years of doing this, you know who I am. I am not trying to
impress anybody. Anytime I do one thing out of goodness I
feel so good in doing that and I thank my Lord for doing that.
I know that I am not perfect but I said to God if they go to
the extreme, may God forgive them and forgive me too. So,
that is it. You cannot do anything in this life without having
an opposition. If it happens, then, something is wrong. But
time will tell and time has told that I am okay. I have a
simple solution to complex problem but I thank God Almighty
for giving me the excellent education I got from America
having triple professorship, double doctorate degree, Harvard
education and then having a successful practice in US which
paid off. But, with that, everything won’t be perfect unless I
come to the town where I grew up and try to make a change
for the future for somebody else because if I am doing well
and people are passing through the same hardship I passed
through, I don’t think that will make me a human being. So I
can say that philanthropy came to me, I didn’t go to it and I
was doing it without knowing it is called
philanthropy in the first place.
You are rated very highly in Las Vegas, what are your secrets
and how do they see you in America as a black man who
have made it to the top?
Medicine is changing. Medicine is about knowledge. People
don’t really care if you are black or Indian. If you have the
knowledge to save their lives, they will come to you. Those
days of stigmatism and bigmanism is wading away. We have
a black president. So, if it does exist before, it is going away.
Don’t think I became successful from robbing the bank. I
think I became a successful physician by knowing things that
will help people in their daily life. So, nobody cares who you
are or what colour or accent you speak with or which country
you came from. If you will help them with their personal life,
their best investment is their health, they will come to you.
So, that speaks for itself. So, things are changing in America
and it is changing fast. Those days of marginalization and
bigotries is going away. In the area of medicine, people don’t
care who you are anymore and that is why I am doing well.
You talked about the dominance of native doctors and
farmers in your community, what percentage of Christians do
we have in the town now?
It is now almost 100 percent. My father wasn’t a Christian.
He was a native doctor but thank God he wasn’t involved in
some bad practices. He did his own way of medicine with
laughter, compassion and what we called in medicine
cognitive therapy – giving hope. If you come to his house in
the middle of rainy season, he will defile the rain to go to the
bush and come out with roots and herbs – that is Dr. Maduka,
the dead one. And he will dance and laugh with patients to
make them feel good and he used to take me as an
apprentice. I use to go to people’s house with him where he
cured infertility. He cured even mental maladies, malaria,
transmitted diseases and all kinds of problems and took
interest in what we call pharmacognozy – the study of plant
as a way of treatment which is still undeveloped. That is why
I read pharmacy and medicine. The pharmacognozy is the
area I will go back in the future, to look at all these herbs and
roots
that these people used in curing all sorts of ailments before
the coming of the modern medicine.
Are you saying that your call to medical profession is
natural?
Well, I think it is like father like son. Most people do emulate
their parents. My father was a gentle giant. He was not a
Christian because that was what they knew then and I know
he went to heaven. He was the only son of his parents. I
used to watch him and emulate him and he knew that one day
I will be a successful physician. You can have the best
knowledge of medicine but the way you go about doing it
might affect folks. It’s not really what you know but how you
deliver the message. Many thing is art and science, you
master the two because any mistake, you cost people’s life
and I learnt how to reach folks from watching my own father.
So, people feel comfortable talking to me and my group, which
is Las Vegas pain Institute. |

raker300: Insurance is set to shake hands with technology later this month as Private Media Mart (PMM) limited, a media and event management firm has concluded arrangements to hold this year’s Insurance Technology (InTech) expo.
