USA Africa Dialogue Series - Prof Okonofua. Tinubu and 50 billion dollars question by Augustine Togonu Bickersteth London England 🇬🇧 may 25 2026

Happy  Africa  Day may 25 2026

First  I want to congratulate  professor  Friday  Okonofua  distinguished  obstetrician  and gynecologist  on being  elected  President  of the  African  academy  of sciences.

 I congratulate  President  Bola  tinubu. I congratulate  nigerians and  I congratulate  Africa.!

 There are 125000 dollar 

 millionaires  in Africa. 340 of them are centi millionaires and. 21 of them dollars billionaire's. 

So in the tenure of professor  Friday  Okonofua  Scientific  Research in Africa  should  not  be waiting  for Bill Gates. HENRY FORD FOUNDATION  or Rockeffeler  foundation  or macartur  foundation. 

 Nigerias at home  and diaspora  same with the Africans in general its hoped  you would  give professor  Friday  Okonofua  all the support  he deserves

 

. I know what am saying. There are 3 miliion  empty  houses  in nigeria. Not affordable  houses. So nigerias part of the 22 bilion dollars Nigerian s send home yearly  could be donated to the African  scientists

.. my pet subject? Neglected Tropical  Diseases  including cholera  lassa Fever. leprosy trachoma  schitisiomiasis and Ebola.there are 21 jn number.

Yes neglected  Tropical  Diseases. Please  look them up now.

 NIGERIANS are you still waiting for Bill  gates? You would  rather  spend your money on Birthdays  Burial  and bBethrotals and not on libraries  laboratories  and workshop.

?

I rest  my case

Signed

 Dearr reader.

My Big Brother  Dr Ayo Teriba an economist affirmed  that  if we can inject  50 bilion  dollars  into  the Nigerian  economy  inflation  would  fall  to 5 pr cent. 

!!

We have now what a certain professor oyesoji aremu calls a ransom economy. Of kidnapping of 2.2 miliion  people so far and 2.trillion  naira  ransome  paid so far.

Banks and financial  institutions  are making profits. Factories are closing down  for lack of investment  and so far 15000 factory workers have lost their jobs according  to guardian TV

Now why has it  become  so difficult  for 230 miliion  people  to attract  50 billion  dollars  into  the Nigerian economy..? 

There are 25 year old in USA worth 20 bilion  dollars  to 60 billion dollars 

The Qataris  arbour friends 🧡  they have deep pockets  UAE ar friends they have deep pockets.  THE AUDI  Saudi arabiabs are your friends 🧡 they also  have deep pockets.

Now either of UAE or Qatari bi's investing  1.2 trillion  dollars in usa 🇺🇸  why not nigeria? Because the returns  may even be more  in nigeria  because of low overheads. We should get our acts together ❤️  in nigeria.

We got our macro  economics right  but we still do no know what to do with  our micro  economics. 

 Let me help  bola tinubu a bit.

Call on professor  foluso okumadewa  of the formidable ibadan school of economics .he has done extensive  work on micro economics now a world bank consultant.  And let him assemble  a crop of  top  notch  micro  economist to advise  government. 

Ebi npa awon. Omo naijiria.inflatiinnis 15.6 per cent y jove!!

Signed
