A funding proposal to the State of the African Diaspora · Akure, Ondo State, Nigeria

The Sixth Region builds its city of healing.

The Akure International Medical Village is an 800–1,500 hectare healthcare, research, education, agriculture and wellness city — anchored by a 1,000-bed teaching hospital, funded by Diaspora hands, staffed by returning Diaspora clinicians, and endowing free care for the poor around it.

The story in one picture

Ending the reverse remittance.

Every year the Diaspora sends money home with sacrifice — and over a billion dollars of it flows straight out again, to hospitals on other continents. AIMV turns that river around.

Today

African money, twice exported

Diaspora Family in Nigeria Foreign hospitals remittances US$1bn+/yr Value leaves the continent. Capability never arrives.

Foreign exchange lost. Specialists emigrating. Families flying their sick abroad — or not being able to.

With AIMV

Remittance becomes inheritance

Diaspora AIMV, Akure bonds · equity · endowment coupons · care · careers · legacy Capital that earns, heals, trains — and stays African.

A Diaspora Medical Corps of returning clinicians. Bonds from US$1,000. A city the Sixth Region can visit, and point to.

Why this belongs to SOAD

Every SOAD pillar, made physical.

AIMV is not merely aligned with the mandate of the State of the African Diaspora — it is the mandate, poured in concrete, planted in soil, and staffed by the Sixth Region.

Sustainable eco-cities

A carbon-conscious smart city: solar park with storage, recycled water, circular waste, green belts and lakes — a demonstration eco-city for the continent.

Health & wellbeing

A 1,000-bed teaching hospital, 15+ institutes, telemedicine into Diaspora homes, and an Endowment guaranteeing care for the indigent.

Agriculture & food sovereignty

A 450-hectare estate — crops, livestock, aquaculture, processing, cold chain — feeding the campus and funding free care.

Education & human capital

Medical, nursing and allied health schools for 3,000–5,000 students, with Diaspora scholarships and faculty exchange.

Twinning & cooperation

Institutional twinning between AIMV and Diaspora hospitals, universities and municipalities under SOAD's own policy.

Diaspora investment

Bonds from US$1,000, equity, and endowment giving — remittances converted into income-producing African assets.

Climate justice & SDGs

Direct delivery on SDGs 2, 3, 4, 7, 8, 9 and 13, consistent with SOAD's climate-justice campaign.

Pan-African partnership

A flagship for joint advocacy through SOAD's continental relationships, including its MoU with the Pan-African Parliament.

The numbers, honestly told

Built to be examined.

Figures from the 30-year, formula-driven Financial Feasibility Model that accompanies this proposal. Deliberately conservative — and every assumption is open to SOAD's analysts.

Where the money comes from

Revenue builds for three decades

Total revenue, US$m (base case)
EBITDA, US$m
$583m
Revenue by 2040

Revenue by 2050

Project IRR, base → high

Base case is conservative by design: domestic-weighted tariffs, no terminal value, full campus capex charged to the health economics. The upside — international patient mix, tariff realization, SOAD-accelerated volumes — is documented, not assumed.

Participation from US$1,000

What your money does — and earns.

The AIMV Diaspora Bond Programme is designed for every wealth level of the Sixth Region: trusteed, escrowed, milestone-released, audited — and endorsed by SOAD.

The document suite

Everything SOAD needs, in one place.

Seven documents. One decision. Each opens or downloads directly from this page.

Hosting note: keep the seven files in the same folder as this page and every link works — on a website, a shared drive, or a USB handed across the table.

The call to the Sixth Region

Come and walk the land with us.

For four centuries the Diaspora has enriched every land except its own. One decision changes the story: anchor the first Diaspora-owned health city on African soil. We invite the Government of the State of the African Diaspora to appoint a working delegation and meet us in Akure.
