Philip O. Ozuah, M.D., Ph.D., serves as professor in the departments of pediatrics and epidemiology & population health at Albert Einstein College of Medicine. He also is President, Montefiore Health System.

No way any sane man will leave this type of Job to work for a Buhari. I would do it with Obasanjo and Jonathan and Yaradua

Professor Philip 0zuah, an Igbo man with Biafran
instinct, was alleged to have rejected ministerial
appointment offer from President Muhammadu
Buhari.
The professor was said to have "totally declined
to be Health Minister in Nigeria, stating that there
is much corruption in the country"
Professor Ozuah is also said to own a hospital in
the US whose annual budget is $13 billion.
He was the Chief Operating Officer in Montefiore
Hospital based in Bronx, New York, United States
of America.

Apart from the fact that the man is a good and hardworking doctor like many hardworking Nigerians abroad, the rubbish about appointment in Nigeria is a lie, unless you have have proof to show that he was contacted for a job in Nigeria.

You people really need to stop lying, it's nauseating and annoying.

Do you have proof that the man is worth $13 billion?

Do you people even know the meaning of $13 billion?

joseph1832:
Well I believe he has his reason for rejecting the ministerial position, but still I believe, no matter what, when mother Nigeria call, no matter who sit in Aso Rock, we the children of mother Nigeria should obey.

Nigerian can rubbish a good man/woman. Ask Ngozi Okonjo Iweala; ask prof Barth Nnaji. Some of us abroad will be happy to work in Nigeria but not under Buhari (speaking for myself of course).

The man is not worth $13 billion; but the hospital he is the president of could be, no doubt. Nairaland (Internet) is 50% Fake news

seunmsg:


If he owns a hospital with an annual budget of $13billion, it is accurate to rate him a billionaire and have his name on Forbes list.

We all chest beat once in a while but you guys take it to a very ridiculous level. Buhari didn’t offer that guy any ministerial appointment. Any random person can snap with the Vice President so look for a better proof to back up your claim. In fact, the mod should move this thread to the jokes section. The claim is simply hilarious.

Lol, you guys talk like illiterate sometimes.

Budget is expenses. Profit is the difference between revenue and budget.

Only part of the profit is distributed while the rest are plunged back to the business and again, he doesn't owe the hospital 100%.

The total asset of capital oil is over 500 billion Naira but he is not listed on Forbes.

I doubt your claim
This is what wikipedia said about the hospital you said is owned by the said person

Hi @iaindabawa*

*Duta Search Result: Montefiore Medical Center - Wikipedia*

Montefiore Medical Center is a teaching hospital network of the Albert Einstein College of Medicine, with the largest hospital located in the Norwood section of the Bronx, New York City. It is named for Moses Montefiore and is one of the 50 largest employers in New York State. In 2016, Montefiore Medical Center was ranked #7 of the 180 New York City metropolitan area hospitals by U.S. News & World Report.


== History ==

Montefiore was founded by "leaders of New York’s Jewish community" as the Montefiore Home for Chronic Invalids at Avenue A and East 84th Street in Manhattan, and accepted its first six patients on October 24, 1884, Moses Montefiore's 100th birthday. In its early years, it housed mostly patients with tuberculosis and other chronic illnesses.

You are the illiterate, my friend. If you own a business with an annual budget of $13billion, you’re a billionaire. Your argument that he doesn’t own the company 100% is another ignorant comment. According to the OP, he owns the hospital. Go back to the OP and read or get someone more sensible to read and interpret for you.

Btw, the dude is just an employee of the university that owns the hospital. The issue of percentage of ownership doesn’t even come up because he doesn’t own any part of the hospital.

He is not just an employee. He is the President

He is not just an employee. He is the President

So, because he’s the president of the hospital, he’s not an employee? Are you saying he’s the owner?

Nobody is the single owner. It is owned by the University which is owned by a Jewish Foundation.

As the president, he is the ''owner'', much as Buhari is the ''owner'' of Nigeria. If you know what I mean.

I said he’s an employee of the university that owns the hospital and you claimed he’s not. So, what exactly are you saying?

ruggedtimi:

Correct. It's $5.9 Bill

The system — which includes Montefiore Medical Center — recorded operating revenue of $5.9 billion in the year ended Dec. 31, according to recently released financial documents. That's a 7.3 percent increase year over year, partially attributable to higher net patient service revenue.

You are not making any sense. The CEO of Dangote group is from Netherlands. Is he the owner of Da gore group?

Your mcm is an employee of the university that owns the hospital. He can be fired at anytime. You either accept the truth or keep arguing ignorantly.

Do you know what ''owner'' means, when compared to owner? Nigerian graduates - awon olodo rabata

seunmsg:

My point is that he is not just an ordinary employee. He is the president running a $5.9 Billion hospital.

American graduate, he’s neither of the two. He’s an employee just like the cleaner in the hospital.

spectroscopic:

That means that he was employed,abi?
He was not even born when the university hospital was established.
I bet he is not even worth up to 1 million dollars.

I guess in life nearly anybody can be fired. If Nigeria was working Buhari would be fired now and replaced by his VP.

Ritchiee:

Lol. He is worth much more than that. Doctors of even lesser caliber are very well paid in America. He is not just a doctor; he is a professor and a president. Actually, I can authoritatively say he receives over $3 million per annum. Of course, you can guess like how much the IRS takes away as taxes from that money - about 20%, or so.

seunmsg:

Where did I claim he is not an employee? I said he is not just an ordinary employee; he is the president..... Again, reading and understanding problem.

This is the real president of Montefiore Medical Center.

You do not even know his worth and because they made him the Chief Operating Officer he has become the president and owner of a university hospital built more than 100 years ago,where he was employed and can be sacked anytime.Are you saying that he is claiming ownership of the hospital?Another FBI thing,don´t you think so?
