" People said to me, Peter Obi doesn't spend money, (I use my money for what is meant If you go to a place called Balogun in Trade Fair Lagos, they will tell Peter Obi built about 100 stores but I don't own one, I gave out to young men to do their best, the store cost 250,000 Naira at that time but today you buy them for nothing less than 50 million Naira.
" I am supporting a school of Nursing in Nsukka, where there is no such thing with over 150 Million Naira, I gave them about 70 Million Naira in the past two weeks ago.
"For me, that is what money is meant for, My name is Peter Obi, if you call me Okwute that is your business, and I am not going to give you money for it"

There are over half of a BILLION children living in sub-Saharan Africa for instance and not a single dedicated peds IR to our knowledge (but one graduating next year thankfully). So yes, it’s hard to wrap your head these numbers, but those are the facts!

Supremely important lecture by @fabianmaxlg entitled "Interventional Radiology Capacity building in East Africa" at the 2nd Annual @YaleRadiology Clinical Research Symposium! So few #irad physicians support patients on an entire continent! Lots of work ahead! @YaleMed @Road2IR

Great work by our first Nigerian graduate @fonzyu. It is the most basic procedures that can have the biggest impact, this is particularly true when resources are limited. #irad for the win 🏆
