Igbo Doctor in Las Vegas doctor denies allegations he runs militia accused of slayings in Nigeria

No Comments
One of eight children, Godwin Maduka came from a small village in Nigeria with thatched huts and no electricity or running water. The primary school was in a tiny church. Cars couldn't navigate its single lane dirt road. It was common for the drinking water, contaminated with feces, to infect townspeople with debilitating worms.

He bought seven residential properties here for more than $7 million, according to Clark County…

ImeIme Umana:First-ever female president of Harvard Law Review
ImeIme Umana:First-ever female president of Harvard Law Review A shining example is Ms. ImeIme Umana, a Nigerian descent, but born in the United States, beats other eleven candidates – mostly Whites off-course, to become the First-ever female president of Harvard Law Review – a position that former president Barak Obama once held while at Harvard Law School.  I ran into Ms. Umana at Harvard in 2013 during my leadership program at Harvard Kennedy School.  She is a brilliant mind.  With two other Nigerians, we talked passionately about Nigeria’s decadence and way forward.  Despite the immense brainpower and professional expertise that…

South Korea was poorer than Bolivia and Mozambique; today, it is richer than New Zealand and Spain, with a per capita income of almost $23,000. For 50 years, South Korea’s economy has grown by an average of seven percent annually, contracting in only two of those years. In…
