Julius Oni, a Nigerian medical doctor, has revealed the reason behind quitting his job at John Hopkins in the United States to return to Nigeria after 25 years.

Oni, in a viral video, disclosed that he sold his properties including house and cars – and proceeded on leave with his family.

“I reverse JAPA from the US to Nigeria. Well…six weeks ago, I relocated from the US to Nigeria. I took a leave of absence from my job at John Hopkins, sold my house, sold my cars, packed my bags alongside my lovely wife and beautiful children, and moved after 25 years of living in the USA,” he said.

The Associate Professor of Orthopedic Surgery revealed that he is a determined individual, noting that Nigerian patients also deserve a top-notch healthcare system.

“I know at this point, some of you may call me delusional or even crazy but I am neither, I am just a man full of conviction. I happen to believe that Nigerian patients deserve great care too.

“As part of my mission, I have started DOC Medical Nigeria, which offers high-quality musculoskeletal care to the population, part of my effort is to provide access to care so that people do not have to travel to access high-quality orthopedic surgery care.”

He equally stated that he has worked with patients from different parts of the world since he started the initiative.

“I am humbled to say that people are coming from near and fear, near as Ghana and as far as the UK. There are many patients that will otherwise have travelled but now have access to quality orthopedic quality surgery on the ground.”
