Nigeria is described as a country rich in great potentials and lots of natural and human resources. Dr. Chief Bamigboye Ezekiel Ogunbiyi made this known recently in Abuja .
Dr Chief Bamigboye Ezekiel Ogunbiyi is the Chief Medical Director Tolbert Specialist Hospital, an Ultra-Modern Specialist Healthcare Centre in Abuja; and one of Nigeria’s foremost obstetricians and gynaecologists.
In an interview with the GreenLand News Magazine Online, Dr Ogunbiyi said, “Nigeria is so rich and blessed with great potentials and natural and human resources”.
According to him, “Nigerians are the best brains all over the World. We have the best technocrats in all fields of human endeavour.

Dr Ogunbiyi charged those in authority to appreciate and encourage health care givers with good remuneration and the state of art medical technology to avoid brain drain.
He also said he was opportuned to have gone to school through scholarship. The trend then was to go to western countries, for postgraduate training to acquire more knowledge, skill and experience and come back home and impact on the society.
He further described medical tourism as an unpatriotic, retrogressive and self-centred practice that should be discouraged. He said, “We have the best Medical experts in every specialty here in Nigeria.”
He urged the government and well-meaning Nigerians to join hands to develop the health sector. According to him, there are some emergency conditions that cannot wait to travel abroad; example is ‘Heart attack’. He therefore encouraged all hands to be on deck to tackle the evil called “Medical Tourism”.
In the same vein, Dr. Ogunbiyi expressed gratitude for the secret of his success. According to him, “the secret of my success is God. I operate between my workplace, church and home. I love God and have good relationship with him. Also, Matthew 6:33, said keep on then, seeking first the kingdom and his righteousness and all these other things will be added to you.”
He also used the opportunity to encourage men to support their wives in their chosen career. He narrated how he supported his wife Hon Justice Clara Bata Ogunbiyi JSC(Rtd) to the peak of her professional career in the Supreme Court of Federal Republic of Nigeria. She was the first female High Court Judge in North East Sub-region. He as well encouraged her to go to the Court of Appeal. She became the presiding Judge Court of Appeal in Lagos where she served for 7 years. She subsequently ascended to the Supreme Court of Federal Republic of Nigeria as the 4th female at that exalted position and the first from Borno state of Nigeria. These accomplishments were made possible as a result of his love, sacrifice and support for his wife’s profession.
Dr. Ogunbiyi who is married for over 50 years without a third party interference also charged men to love their wives as their own bodies. A man who loves his wife loves himself according to Ephesian 5: 28 said Dr. Ogunbiyi.
