This is what I expected the onikuje Of Luke land to do

Not even a single borehole

N some people call him savior

The only thing he’s good at is defrauding innocent people

Also doing mojo short clips

Nnamdi Kanu is a fraudster

Tinubu is 1million times richer than this man so please show us what he has done in his poor village in osun or even on Bourdillon where people still buy Mai Ruwa water

faceURfront:


Ehen, how many people who practice medicine can do what he has done? None. Cumulatively, those projects are worth billions.

My point is, without adding his profile to the fact that he practices medicine is misleading

dangote deals on food stuff and he produce cement , former world richest man is still a carpenter, the current sells books online.

so why a medical practitioner can't do a billion project ? or is it cos he is from the east ?

faceURfront:
An American based medical practitioner indeed.

Them the pluck money from tree for America?

What is the annual income of a doctor or nurse or etc to afford doing all these things listed above.

This news should gv u such heart ache？

Much as I get your point, I consider this a wrong move at Euphemism.

Nwanne, I think he asked the right question.

The problem is that tribalism has destroyed the minds of many of us on Nairaland.

That's why every question or assertion is suspected to have an undertone.

Nairaland is becoming super annoying with each passing day.

Godwin Maduka is a world renown Pharmacist and Anastesiologist with a medical practice in Nevada USA. Havard trained, Nigerian American philanthropist with extensive links with the US Medical board and the United Nations.

He started life as a poor boy from a tiny village in Nigeria who excelled academically and was fortunate to secure a part scholarship to the USA.

America rightly recognised this impoverished but exceptionally brilliant student as an asset and gave him full scholarship to finish school, a job and citizenship to keep him in the country, loans and land to establish a practice as seen below:

"...Maduka’s brilliant mind earned him scholarships at U.S. colleges. He finished his bachelor’s degree in chemistry at Rust College in Mississippi in less than two years, earned a doctorate in pharmacy at Mercer University in Georgia and a medical degree from the University of Tennessee. He finished his postgraduate training and residency in anesthesiology and pain management at Harvard Medical School and Beth Israel Hospital before setting up his practice in Nevada in the 1990s."

He was able to acquire a property in Nevada according to Clark County records to establish the Las Vegas Pain Institute, where he employs over 80 people. He has since opened several branches in the US and around the world.

Yes, he remembered the poverty at home and went out of this way to alleviate people's suffering but he didnt relocate to Umuchukwu. He stayed back and transformed his outfit into the largest pain management centre in Nevada.


He has become a global authority in chronic and acute pain management, anesthesiology, and interventional pain management.

He is also a Clinical Faculty Supervisor of Pain Management/Anesthesiology at Touro University Nevada’s College of Osteopathic Medicine.

He was certified by the American Board of Anesthesiology in 1998 and fulfills the role of Medical Doctor for the Nevada State Board of Medical Examiners.

Now, Sarrki, if you want to draw attention to a good deed, just do so without an ulterior motive. The bolded portion below is the major aim of your write-up.

sarrki:

Back in the late forties, the Yoruba elite met with the sage, Chief Obafemi Awolowo to complain that this outsiders from across the niger were buying up and developing lands all over the place and sought to stop them. The wise Awolowo simply told his people not to mnd them. That all is well.

And yes, all is now well for the Yoruba, today. The can easily afford to carry placards and tell ndi Igbo to go home. Same story in Kano, Abuja, Ibadan, kaduna and portharcourt.

I respect the late Chief Awolowo as a brilliant and well-meaning sage and visionary and his legacies speak for him. However, some of our founding fathers' policies were separatist and backward and they would not have reasoned that way if they knew that technology was going to integrate the world.

Nigeria will not progress as a nation if people keep reasoning like you and buying your version of patriotism.

Advocate for strong institutions, promulgation of enabling legislation and enforcement of exsisting ones. Allow citizens and foreigners with economic value to invest and collect taxes.

Go regional if you must but dont subtly preach hate, tribalism and violence. It won't get the country anywhere.

majamajic:


he is not ordinary doctor , he is working with UN and American government in terms of raw materials to produce medicine, I have been to the village myself, I have that 17 storey building pic on my phone now sef, it's blue in color, u need go there to see, he tared the whole town, I saw the high Court and houses he built for Catholic monks, I saw about 100 units of flat he gave out to people of the town, solar powered electricity, after about 2 hours driving round I decided to go, the village is UMUCHUKWU , in Anambra state just before u enter isuochi abia state, near umunze. he bought the lands from his village people to build what will benefit them, he paid for every piece of land to build hospitals and churches , Nigerians don't know him but he is brain behind medical products under UN and USA, he is a big shot !! ,

Jisos my husband hails from there ,omg ...he isnt d only one doing that they are many turning umuchu to wonderland
Biafra is the key ,say no to one nigeria

I have every reason to doubt this information because they bring up this news every year with the same pictures and the same details. I first read about this 2 years ago and at that time, someone was also questioning why the news with the same information was still being paraded after many years as at that time.

Don't doubt it o. I used to be thomas too until I decided to see things myself. When I got there, my eyes pop out of their socket s. Walahi, that man should be given next Anambra gubernatorial ticket

lol. Make we start from home first. Na beg I dey beg

Nice one from the philanthropic pharmacist. God bless him for transforming his village.

"Kudos to this worthy son and it's not as if he is even the richest Igbo man. No way! We have plenty of them but their brains are not with them."
.....Bianca Ojukwu

The other day, I watched a group of angry Yoruba people carrying placards that read, "go back home and create your own Lagos there". To many ndi Igbo that invested heavily in Lagos, it was a bitter pill to swallow but then, the truth remains nothing but the truth....Bianca Ojukwu.

I hope all the MuthaFvckingly rich igbo guys in lagos will read this truth. Id just heard that one medical surgeon bought the fast rising tower on Eko Atlantic. Why??

Why cant he come home and invest like maduka? And he is from Anambra too.

If you are a rich Igbo guy and still thinking, and holding dear to Lagos... may the Devil caress you in your dreams

Godwin Maduka is more than a good doctor. He’s a good businessman as well. He founded the Las Vegas Pain Institute and Medical Center in 1999 and has seen it expand to a total of six locations throughout Southern Nevada. Each facility is a one-stop destination for a wide array of medical services, including primary care, preventative care, urgent care, radiology, lab work, and even surgery. “ The product we have benefits everybody, regardless of social class,” says Maduka. “It’s helping people.”

The business growth has been dramatic for the doctor, but his journey began on the other side of the world, in Africa. Maduka was born in Nkerehi (later renamed Umuchukwu), a tiny village in Nigeria. He is now its favorite son, after heavily investing his own fortune to reimagine it from the ground up. His projects include homes, apartments, government buildings, classrooms, churches, police stations, a hospital, a gas station, and perhaps most impressive of all, a 17-story building designed for medical research. Maduka also worked with the government to help bring clean water, electricity, and roads to his people.

The story represents an amazing turn of events when looking back on Maduka’s childhood. His family had little money but there was one important factor working in his favor. “I was given a gift,” he says. “Academic brilliance.”

From kindergarten through high school, Maduka was always first in his class. “Almost a 4.0 GPA all throughout,” he adds, while noting he traveled outside his village to pursue his education. He adored his father, an herbalist who was able to heal patients with roots and other forms of natural medicine. When his father passed away, Maduka made an important promise: “I said ‘Dad, I’m going to be a pharmacist and I’m going to be a medical doctor. I’m going to make you proud.’”

He blew through an entrance exam and was accepted to the University of Port Harcourt School of Medicine, about 150 miles away. “But there was nobody to train me,” Maduka remembers. With few options at home, he started thinking about opportunities in the United States when a friend gave him a scholarship form for Rust College in Mississippi.

Maduka was accepted but the scholarship only covered about half his expenses. Fortunately, his younger brother, who had moved to the Nigerian capital city of Abuja, was able to help cover the rest with money made from auto repair work. “He said, ‘Don’t worry. You’re the smart one. Here’s the money. Maybe the family can now have a chance in life.’”

After receiving a little more financial help from an uncle in the air force, Maduka made his way to the United States in 1982. With the pressure on, he graduated summa cum laude in chemistry in a year-and-a-half instead of four - before the money ran out. That led to a scholarship at the Mercer University School of Pharmacy in Atlanta. “I did what I could to sustain myself,” he remembers. “I worked as a security guard. I washed plates in restaurants.”

He earned his Doctor of Pharmacy, found work as a pharmacy technician and was weighing options for medical school when he received a call from the University of Tennessee in Memphis - a school he hadn’t even applied to. Maduka says the university was heavily recruiting minorities following accusations of discrimination and offered him a full scholarship. “Room, board, books, tuition, everything,” he says.

After receiving his Doctor of Medicine, Maduka’s toughest test came in Boston at Harvard Medical School, where he studied anesthesiology, critical care and pain management. “I took the board and passed it with flying colors,” he remembers about earning his medical license. “Written and oral, even with my accent.”

Finally done with school, Maduka relocated to Las Vegas in 1997, based on a recommendation from a classmate. He received a job with Dr. Eugene Chen, was given $8,000 as an advance payment, and found himself working as an anesthesiologist at UMC, Desert Springs, Sunrise and other hospitals throughout the valley.

After a few challenging years, Maduka wanted to expand his scope to cover pain treatment. The first step was starting his own practice in about 700 square feet of empty space at the Red Rock Medical Group. “I had one exam room, one office and one toilet. That’s it,” he remembers. Maduka started marketing himself and business exploded.

By 1999, he was seeing so many patients, it made sense to find a place of his own. He aimed high and took a bank loan to purchase the commercial space near Jones and Flamingo that would become the first Las Vegas Pain Institute. His vision was to have a clinic for himself and then lease the rest of the space out to other medical professionals. He paid the loan off in less than two years and soon the entire building was operating under his umbrella. Despite the challenge of the Great Recession, Maduka was able to open a second location in Henderson. Over the following years, the Las Vegas Pain Institute expanded to the northwest near Centennial, northeast near Nellis Air Force Base and on Sahara near the Strip. A southwest location on Blue Diamond will celebrate its grand opening by the end of 2017.

“There is no other medical center like this,” says Maduka. “We started as a pain management center but after many years, we realized we had to do more for our patients.”

With a depth of services, the Las Vegas Pain Institute offers convenience, often serving as an emergency room alternative for non-critical patients. Maduka says each facility is strategically located near a major hospital to make sure every patient has quick access to whatever care is needed. “We’ll treat you in-house or find you the appropriate specialist,” he says.

Maduka’s new approach even carries over to wearing a business suit instead of a traditional white coat. But the most important factor is offering each patient understanding and empathy. “You can be the best businessman, but if you generally care for folks and have a passion for what you do, it shows,” he points out. “This is a business of healing. This is a business of making people feel better.”

Maduka continues to visit Nigeria about once a year. Despite the improvements made to his native village, there have been plenty of struggles and challenges along the way. The majority of the people are Christian but Maduka says he’s faced resistance from those who don’t understand his vision, including a small Pagan population who perform animal sacrifices in a public stream and follow outdated concepts. “When twins are born, they kill them because they say people shouldn’t be born in multiples of twos. If you have a headache, they say you’re a victim of witchcraft when you might actually be suffering from malaria. This is the kind of stuff we’re fighting.”

The doctor says he’s been the victim of slander and falsely tied to criminal acts by vigilantes. Those allegations were dismissed by Nigerian police following an in-depth investigation. “They accuse me of all kinds of stuff,” he says. “There’s no connection.”

Whether it’s in Nigeria or the United States, Maduka has a valuable role to play in continuing to help others. “I’m here for a purpose. What happened to me, doesn’t happen often,” he says. “From the jungle to Harvard... how often do you see that happen?”

Nah your pupcy...You copied it from wiki?

Where is Author Eze village? Can a commoner get access to him just like maduka that provided social amenities for his people? Author eze can only make his family friends and workers millionaires. And same thing goes to Adenuga and Dangote.

Pls say only what you know. You don't know zilch about Eze n'Ukpo.
