This is touching, your parents love you, they didn't want you to die but they did it in the wrong way.

I pray she gets a good Samaritan kidney donor soon.

UK isn't Nigeria where you do things anyhow and go scot-free.

Our corrupt and wicked politicians should learn from this and build good hospitals in Nigeria

It is very hard to pity naija politicians and their families because of what they've done to this country

Of course

It's very painful I must say

Meanwhile a drug lord can never be my president God forbid

U and ur parents are mad, with all the money they have stolen, for them to go through the legal way of organ donation they don’t want to cause they will spend atleast half a million dollars upward, they want to cut costs without caring about the boy it will affect, they deserve everything, dem heartless to the point that the boy they wan steal him kidney, dem no fit do 2years visa for am, Na 6months dem do, they wan use am send am back make him come dey suffer while unna go dey enjoy

Well
What shall we say

But it really breaks my heart when she said the kidney problem is heredity problem the I remember things like that are possible.
But I still blame the senator and his family for his plan to harvest that innocent boy kidney unknown to him

Despite the money ur parents have , they chose not to do things the right way. That was what led them to prison .

No dey come here to blackmail us emotionally . When they finish serving their sentence, I hope they would’ve learnt how to do things the proper way and not going through shortcut like typical naija big man

Money no dey solve all problems. Hope the politicians and elite learn to do the right things

Twasn't about parental responsibility alone, but reckless abuse of privilege...

There's this intrinsic thing about Nigerian politicians and abuse of power. Maybe it's because of a system where money means you get away with any misdemeanours.

So much lessons to learn from the Ekweremadus saga. May we never be in this sort of mess 🙏

A UK deportee can never be my president too

They have done the crime, they will do the time.

You did nothing wrong, your parents were just being stupid.

Ok

I know a young girl here,the dad is one of d top politicians in nigeria ...
She is a huge baller,club all week.....while d foolish poor fools are there in naija defending her father...

You deserve to be in prison with your father.

Yoruba guy

You cant do the right thing in a wrong way,there is always consequences and reward for every action.
Being human i sympathise with the Ekweremmadu's but the boy in question is also human and could have lost a kidney and without proper health care and management,he will kiss the dust and he is easily forgotten because he is a son of nobody.
i wish sonia and many other ordinary Nigerians with serious health challenges,quick recovery.

I pray the situation does not worsen her health.

Most parents will do anything to save the lives of their children , but it shouldn't be at the expense of putting other people's children's lives at risks simply because they've got money.

Ọmọ aye

Ok

You are a victim of doing the right thing the wrong way
Your father as a lawyer should have known better
But he chose to go the Nigerian way

Your parent's ordeal has both local and international connections.
What is to be guilty about parents seeking cure for their daughter?

Your father did not learn from Saraki with whom both denied president Buhari the opportunity to select the Senate leadership of the National Assembly in 2015.

Saraki the Senate president then was later charged for armed robbery. But he escaped the ridiculous charges becsuse he was in Nigeria and had local connections to disentangle himself from the charges.
Ekweremadu, the Deputy Senate President then should have been wary, should have known that he was under surveillance since then by the most unforgiving lot in Nigeria.
The David and kidney eruption in the UK was a grand opportunity for the unforgiving lot to extract the pound of flesh they have been scheeming for.
