THIS MAN WHOSE PICTURE YOU ARE LOOKING AT IS THE GREATEST IGBO MAN ALIVE TODAY.

Author admin 0 938

His name is Dr Godwin Maduka, a United States based medical practitioner. On one of his visits to his village, he took a look around and wasn’t happy with what he saw and now took it upon himself to singlehandedly transform his community(Umuchukwu in Orumba South Local Government, Anambra state).

These are some of his accomplished and ongoing projects.
1, he built two churches, one for the Catholic and Anglican.
2, he built Trinity hospital and maternity which is a 17 story skyscraper.
3, he built over 100 standard bungalows for the poor and the widow.
4, he built immaculate conception international college, 1 and 2, with buses donated to them.
5, he built a police station for maintenance of peace and security.
6, he built a magistrate court.
7, he built a standard market called affor, for the community.
8, built barracks for the civil defense staffs.
9, built two monasteries for churches.
10, built a Civic center for the community.
11, built a post office.
12, built a state highcourt.
13, he provided transformers to boost electricity in the village.
14, built mighty edifices for primary and secondary schools.
15, built a befitting palace for the monarch of his village.
16, built houses for the clerics of the Catholic and Anglican Churches.
17, he built a five star hotel known as ” Lion of Africa resort”.
This is apart from sponsoring of students and helping many to secure good jobs.

And I dare ask, who do you think his community will think about after Jesus Christ if the person does all these for them?

NDI IGBO CAN’T WE THINK?

WHAT HAPPENED TO OUR WORLDVIEW OF ” AKU RUE ULO”? Abi dem do us?
You buy up exotic buildings all over Nigeria and beyond while your village is like an evil forest, yet when you die, your carcass will be brought to be buried there. Can you imagine what the dignitaries that accompanied your corpse to your forest you call village will be saying after the burial? Not too hard to imagine!
They say Diamonds last forever but it’s apparent that Dr Godwin Maduka will last more than any diamond in the minds of the people in his community and ndi Igbo in general.
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.

AKU UNU RUE ULO so that our people are directly empowered. Let’s not forget like this honourable doctor, na obu aka mere ohia ya awoo uzo.

Need I add here that he has singlehandedly achieved what some state governments in the south east could not, ever since this democracy came to be in 1999.

Chiedozie Nwokoye.

In a powerful intervention against digital exclusion, a UK-based Nigerian tech entrepreneur, Wale Atekoja, is rewriting the future of disadvantaged children in Lagos, one line of code at a time.

His organization, Borderless Tek, has launched the Kids Coding Partnership — a grassroots tech education program designed to equip underprivileged schoolchildren in communities like Ikorodu and Yaba with foundational coding and software development skills, completely free of charge.

This is not just another CSR initiative. It’s a deliberate human-centered response to the growing digital divide that continues to marginalize low-income Nigerian children from the technology revolution sweeping the globe.

“We’ve been teaching Black kids in Europe how to code, but what about those back home?” says Wale Atekoja, better known as @AtexXeta on social media. “We’re not targeting the privileged. We’re starting with the forgotten — the children who have never touched a laptop.”

 

The first three-month cohort of the program is scheduled…

A renowned radio personality and social commentator, Hon. Obi-West Utchaychukwuo, has sparked conversation on social media with his bold statement debunking the myth surrounding wealthy individuals from Southeast Nigeria. According to Utchaychukwuo, the wealth of Igbo businessmen is not rooted in ritual practices but in hard work, smart networking, and deep business acumen.

In a recent statement shared online, Utchaychukwuo noted that the southeastern region of Nigeria, predominantly occupied by the Igbo ethnic group, is home to the highest number of self-made billionaires in the country. “These are not people who looted public funds,” he emphasized, “but entrepreneurs who have built legitimate empires.”

He pointed to events such as the high-profile burial ceremony of Obi Cubana’s mother, which drew nationwide attention due to the extravagant displays of wealth. While some questioned the sources of the funds, Utchaychukwuo clarified that many of those in attendance were top importers, exporters, and sole distributors…

By Anthony Nwosu – Lagos

The South East region of Nigeria has emerged as the leading zone in milk consumption, with a record 54.7% of households reportedly consuming milk and dairy products regularly. This is according to the latest 2023/2024 data released by Statisense using figures from the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS), the General Household Survey (GHS), and the Living Standards Measurement Study (LSMS).

The national average of milk consumption stands at 41.5%, with other zones falling behind the South East. The South South region follows closely at 50.1%, while the South West records 48.3%. However, the figures drop significantly in the North: North West (37.6%), North Central (29.4%), and North East (23.3%).

Health and nutrition experts say these numbers reflect the socio-economic imbalance in Nigeria, where access to nutritious foods like milk is often dictated by purchasing power and awareness.

Nigeria’s Cross River State became the second to mark construction of a Special Agro-Industrial Processing Zone after the country’s Vice President Kashim Shettima and African Development Bank (www.AfDB.org) President Dr. Akinwumi Adesina broke ground at the project site on Thursday 10 April.

 

The SAPZ aims to tackle food insecurity, enhance local production, and position Nigeria as a food export leader by leveraging Cross River’s ports and research assets to boost global trade, reduce food imports, and drive prosperity through the agro-industrialization of crops like cocoa and cassava.

The groundbreaking in Cross River follows that of Kaduna (http://apo-opa.co/42Mquvu) which took place few days earlier. Six other states – Kano, Kwara, Imo, Ogun, Oyo, and the Federal Capital Territory – are included in Phase 1 of the $538 million SAPZ program, with plans to expand to the remaining 28 states this year pending the African…

 Boifiok, a fast-rising player in Africa’s agri-tech and e-commerce space, has announced bold plans to revolutionize the continent’s food supply chain by leveraging digital group buying solutions. The company aims to make food more affordable for millions of urban households while accelerating growth for local vendors.

Speaking at a recent industry event, a spokesperson for Boifiok emphasized the urgent need to address food affordability across sub-Saharan Africa, where rapid urbanization has intensified economic pressure on households.

“We are improving food affordability through group buying,” the spokesperson stated. “In sub-Saharan Africa alone, rapid urbanization has presented both opportunities and challenges. Macroeconomic instability and the absence of a digital group-buying platform have led to inconsistent food prices, straining family budgets.”

Boifiok’s digital model aims to connect urban households directly with affordable groceries while empowering vendors…
