UK's judicial system is part of the economic arm (Capitalism) of thire Democratic system. Their courts are a major income earner for the economy when foreigners are trapped within the circuit i.e the case including the lucrative appeals; domestically, it is a part of the taxing ecosystem or industry if you prefer.

We Nigerians need to quit thinking from our anus sometimes. This is why someone like Ahmed Tinubu is running to enslave you in his obviously deteriorated condition. What is in question here is the rule of law. The United Kingdom is not a lawless society in the mold of the cesspit called Nigeria.

The letter of the law is simple, organ donation must be altruistic. In this case, it is not. And the donor cannot be reasonably expected to resist the inducement employed in the request to donate, even if he was properly clarified regarding its demerits. He is poor as hell, and who in his situation in Nigeria will not jump at the opportunity to board an airplane out of the country first?.

What is being prosecuted here is first class exploitation, human trafficking with intent to harvest organ. There is no bloodline nexus between donor and recipient and remuneration was agreed, that's a crime.

But you are a Nigeria, corruption ravaged, and cannot be reasonably expected to think well.
When you're done thinking with your ears you clap for yourself.
Did they force him? He is the only one that is poor? Why accept to do something and reaching there he turn around? With someone who live in the city of Lagos and was engaged in selling of phone accessories. He knows what he's doing. He was just looking for an easy way of getting a visa.

They are too tribe-conscious.

It applies not only to politics, but in everything.
Even the way other people eat their swallow, they feel theirs is superior. So you can imagine how primitive their brains are.
It is why so many people are paranoid of them. You can't constantly tell me you are better than me and expect me to vote to put you in a position that puts my affairs at your mercy.

There are very good igbos, I am in business today because of some of them, but the constantly chest beating by a miscreant few will make people to continually be paranoid of the igbos.

It is sad but fact.

You are absolutely right about his culpability, and if you read through my submission, you will find that I did not seek to exculpate him in any way. Now, that being said, none of that makes the Ekweremadu's less culpable in the eyes of the law.

Let me return to thinking with my ears and clapping for myself jare.

Why does UK join the Buhari's steering the government of Nigeria in tormenting Ike Ekweremadu, his wife and even his daughter suffering kidney disease?
UK needs to understand that Ekweremadu and Saraki taking over Nigeria's Senate in 2015 is reason the Buhari's are using the case as vendetta against Ekweremadu.
Saraki was even framed later by the Buhari government as an armed robber, a laughable frame up.

Originalsly:


The prosecution did research and found out he was born in a village and Ihis birth was not recorded.... the reason for him not having a DOB nor knowing bis exact age. The only way for the defence can give problems on this point is to produce his birth certificate or some record of birth. Will they risk family that?
The doctors that tested him in Nigeria ... did they tell him the truth about what he was tested for?... and why? Do you really believe any of them will want to take the stand and bear witness in this case?
No doubt... the law for donors may be similar to that for surrogate mothers. And yes... there is a thin line between payment and financial support... but this is not about payment ... which carries a sentence of 3 years max ... this is about trafficking and exploitation which is a specific charge.Why would you say it is non specific? He used false information to get they guy into the country .... that's trafficking .... and the purpose was to harvest his kidney ... which is illegal.... different from if the kidney was donated... exploitation. He had full control of the guy in the UK ... slavery.
He is not going to get out of this. We should reflect on how many Nigerians... especially young people... go to hospitals for belly pains and are often told minor surgery is required. Do they really know what the surgeons went in and removed? They should go and check and see if they have both kidneys.... many would be shocked.

He is not getting out of this .. and he dare not try getting the guy to change the story.

Every rope has an end.



Oga, it's true that i hate politicians for looting our common good.

But that guy knew what he was going to the UK to do.

Ekweremmadu wrote a letter to the embassy to that effect.

He only reneged on the agreement.

Keep talking nonsense like a typical Naija. He knew it was illegal to pay for any organ.. had to make the guy lie about their blood relationship. An agreement btw 2 parties that violates UK Laws, is considered void.. with no effect. An absolute nullity!

There is absolutely no case here and the court will throw away this case within weeks. All these talk of controlling the young man and claiming he doesn't know his age is where the prosecutors have problem. The doctors in Nigeria that assessed him before he went to U.K are going to debunk the lies that he didn't fully know why he went to U.K.

On issue of money for organ donor, the law is fluid in that regard. It is like the law around surrogate mothers, it is illegal to pay them, but it is recognised that you have to support them financially. So there is a thin line between payment and financially support.

Why are they charging them with human trafficking and exploitation, which is another none specific charge? I think it is because they are trying to see which of their week claims will stick.

The prosecutor must have seen incriminating evidences on Madu’s and his wife’s phone downloads.

How would you buy somebody kidney for 3.5 million in this day and after looting their lives and not call yourself wicked.

This guy deserves to be shot dead. 3.5million is disturbing. Do you know how much ordinary car just luxury car this man drives is worth.

3.5 million. If the boy eat, renthouse, treat himself how much go remain.

Most black people are devils, i tell you. If e doesnt have now i will understand. But a whole theiving politician buying kidney for 3.5 million naira. Wow terrible


The kidney agent fit don get im own cut but all the same, 3.5m is ridiculously small. Average black market rate of kidney goes for, between $120,000 and $400,000. That’s like N90,000,000 and N300,000,000, respectively, using Aboki rate of N750/$1.

It is straightforward. The whole family is going down. I don't support evil or Nigerian politicians, because they are like 5&6. But they could have chosen somewhere else like India or Pakistan.

Yes India or even Turkey.

If they had any intentions to pay the boy they wouldn't be charged with slavery.

They might have just done the 3 years for organ trafficking now look at them..due to their own wickedness. They are being charged with modern slavery on top

Blacks abroad rarely donate their organs thereby making those needing organs wait for years or even die before getting a donor. The man attempted shortcut and will pay dearly for it

That's the selfishness of our people. They don't donate blood either.

But in their time of need I'm sure they'd like to receive blood or organs with open arms.

Have you read the latest news from the trial, Bro? These guys falsified the visa applications, saying that the donor was a close cousin of theirs. Sonia even took pictures with him to fool hospital staff but it didn’t work. It gets deeper by the day with the more news that’s released.
