Is it an igbo thing or a Nigerian thing?

beejay85:

No, it can happen to anyone depending on how despirate d situation is.
From report,his daughter was severely ill and needed a transplant...getting a donor especially one that matches with his daughter is like looking for a needle in a haystack....
The test of how Noble a man can be, is when he faces a situation father Abraham faced, possible loss of a loved one when u have an option to compromise...
I bet most pple condemning this man would do worse when faced with similar circumstance..
I pray d daughter recovers speedily

He should have done it the right way and follow due processes.. Pity

Facts on the Ekweremadu matter
================
1. Ike Ekweremadu wasn't involved in any organ trafficking
2. He has a daughter who needs a transplant.
3. A willing donor was seen in Nigeria and travel preparations were made.
4. Ike Ekweremadu did write to the British High Commission, explaining the situation
5. The donor travelled to the UK with the patient.
6. The donor is a 21 year old man and not a girl as many are writing.
7. He is not a minor.
8. As it happened, the organ did not even match.
8. Not wanting to return to Nigeria, the donor went to report that he was trafficked to London for possible organ harvest, believing same would guarantee him asylum.

That's the other perspective

How did you confirm this? What is your source? If you don't have a verifiable source please stop spreading fake narrative.

Okealaaye:
I'm a Yoruba man, but I'm deeply pained by what they're alleging that Senator Ike Ekweremadu did. I nearly cried my eyes out when I saw him on TV being manhandled in Germany a couple of years ago. May God sustain him.

To spend years in prison.

I suspect a mix up in politics!

The distinguished lawmaker must be aware of the rules involving minors, same for the medical personnel involved, since the organ transplant was meant for his sick daughter.

Maybe there's a dispute as to the donor's age! You know some Nigerian children can look smaller than their real ages.

I recall the case of one footballer, who claimed 18years or so, but after being run through a development program in Europe, all they could achieve was fattening instead of getting big, because he had gone beyond growing age!

this primaries just quiet osinbajo. you see our dullard leaders, any smart person will know the minor question will come into the picture.
too bad for former deputy senate president. a real dullard. na long prison be dat for him oo....

olatade:
One of Ike Ekweremadu's daughters has kidney problems, and has been on dialysis. They 'contracted' a 15yr old homeless boy from Lagos to harvest one of his kidney. In return they promised him a better life. Next they illegally obtained passport stating the boy was 21.

Unfortunately for them, on getting to the UK the doctors refused to proceed with the operation having been alarmed that the boy in question was a minor and cannot give consent. That was when it began to unravel that it was a case of child trafficking for the purpose of organ harvesting.

A country that works, and have regard for the dignity of human life.

bitingcool:
the fools claiming the donor was a willing donor, how come a tissue match wasn't carried out before he waS taken to the UK. Where is the contract he signed with the MINOR'S family to show consent?

I know lots of hungry people will not mind donating even their two eyes for 50k but as a learned person you cannot claim ignorance

May Ritualistic, organ harvesters and kidnappers continue to be exposed by God's grace. So may people are being abducted and their organs harvested and sold.

Of course he will be given a honorary PhD or even a chieftancy title upon his return and this shameful matter swept under the carpets.

He will forever be known as an organ harvester.

Exactly my point!

Hmmm

This kind of news is something you will expect from erudite skullers.

Matters arising, Nigeria to the world again

This and more like this to every enemy of Nigeria who has already gained structures to seize the forth coming election.

OgaTheTop2:
He should have done it the right way and follow due processes.. Pity

Due process imply he gets her on a waiting list...based in first come first served...citizen first!!
A situation one's money can hardly speed up things for u

Good. That's a country with laws. If he were here in Nigeria, he would have made so much noise- by calling law enforcement officers names, refusing arrest and claiming immunity. Do things the right way!

HomoDroid:

No politics here.

He did the proverbial shitting in da church.

Which one is organ harvesting ?

I don't understand?

Like they want to harvest the organ and use for to cure someone or what exactly?

You see , Igbos have high moral standards , it was the same Ekweremmadu that thought he can hijack Enugu State...but his people knowing him too well denied him of coming to become their Governor .....
Someone who prefer to support PDP instead of his Brother just because of few dollar change....

May God bless Igbos for always standing out once their own is messing up .....

Pls Remember to be OBIdient ......

Ekweremmadu should go and face his sins , that is how all of them in all the regions will be fished out soon....

beejay85:

So by not following due process, he wants to ruin another person's life.

May e tay for that prison.

Did you see how humble Ike Ekweremadu looks?

All that gragra do not extend beyond West Africa.

No need for extradition. He is in the lion's den already.

Very valid question

So bad

Only to find that flati.nos are laureates and professors emritus in this field.

There are bad people everywhere. Even in my region, we hear of people doing rituals in ogun all the time. I know you're trying to attack Obi indirectly in.your post. Take it or you leave it, he's your next president. Before you attack me, I'm not ipob . The earlier you become obidient, the better for you.

You’d be surprised at how many elites are involved in this. All those missing people are somehow linked to this underground syndicate. It’s a terrible thing

these politicians and their children are always dullards. 3 of his children live in the UK and they can not advise their father that they can be arrested for this. terrible. tomorrow you would have heard that one of his children becomes a senator

I still wonder why Sen. Ekweremadu in his international exposure and academic attainment would make himself and his wife scape goats in issue that matters to life like this. I'm sure he never saw this coming and I pray that God will see his family through this shameful situation.

Can you read at all? Did you watch the video?

The boy is 15 years old, he is a minor.

He is not a donor, the boy was taken to the UK on the pretence of a better life.

It was the Hospital doctor that noticed the boy wasn't upto 21 years old.

Phlegman:
This is what happens when you listen to the advice of a woman concerning children.

I'm very sure it's his wife who brought the idea of using the innocent boy.

may your 'sure' land you in problem soon. Aways looking for a way to bring women down. stupid projection from a limited imbecilic mind

At least 15 years in jail...


I hope the victim is still alive?

lorbah001:
Sad situation!

He's got all the resources to do it legally but why does he resort to this?

What becomes the condition of his sick child after this avoidable publicity?

Kept asking myself several questions as to why taking this route...

The biggest loser in this case is; the boy allegedly trafficked, the sick child and Nigeria at large!

He took the route because they dnt value other dignitary, if me and my family safe, even entire country burn,....... I don care


I am very sure ,it's hospital management that reported him to the police, if it's here now, he only need to rub CMD palm and the next thing is for professional to start doing illegality

Is it that they couldn't find a single donor in the entire Ekweremmadu family; both nuclear and extended?

OgaTheTop2:
What is sad about this? Wait until you have your organ harvested.

A whole Nigerian Senator getting involved in such venture....I mean, is this senator lacking wealth


Good riddance to rubbish

Its apparently not about wealth, some say his son is sick and needs organ transplant so mr dishonourable probably wanted to use a relatives son as donor.

Realists:
Igbo Amaka, Nyamiris have this open secret to tarnish the name Nigeria, just imagine a former deputy senate president & currently a serving senator involving himself in human organ harvesting.
There is nothing an okoro cannot do for money.

I'm not Igbo but you are a complete Foolish idiot to go tribal
