Item description from the seller

Dr. Nowamagbe A. Omoigui can be described as a precious talent who set records wherever he went. He attended Corona primary school, St Saviors Primary School, and St Mary’s Primary School, all in Lagos, Nigeria. He proceeded to Federal Government College, Warri in Nigeria, where he graduated with distinction at age 15. He set a record as the first in the history of the school (and one of the first in West African History) to obtain a Grade A1 in Fine Arts.

In 1975, after a year of pre-Med at King’s College in Lagos, he gained admission to study Medicine at the Nigeria’s premier Medical School, The College of Medicine, University of Ibadan. In 1981, he graduated at the top of his Medical School Class with distinction and delivered the valedictory speech. He did his mandatory Youth Service at the Brigade of Guards where he gained new insights into many key events in Nigerian military history and set new records by coordinating an air, sea, and land Military disaster drill. He also received a National Award from the Nigerian President Shehu Shagari in 1983.

He obtained a master’s degree in public health from the University of Illinois, US, trained in Cardiology at Stanford University and in Interventional Cardiology at the Cleveland Clinic (America’s best heart Centre).

He made history in Cardiology by being the first Nigerian immigrant to serve as Chief of Cardiology of a major University Medical School in the United States – The University of South Carolina, Columbia. Nowa Omoigui was a member of the South Carolina Military History Club and was an amateur gun and military aircraft enthusiast.
