Too bad he won't be there to bury her corpse.

I just pray she will not be depressed or attempt or commit suicide. To feel responsible for the actions of her parents is very serious. They need to get her lots of help, and stay with her and her parents need to keep letting her know it is NOT her fault, else one issue can turn into many issues.

Aunty Sonia... Save the sob story abeg!

Countless people have died in Nigeria over kidney failure due to the looting and criminality of politicians like your father!

Money that should have been spent developing our healthcare sector was siphoned out by them including the presidents we have had since 1960!

I'm sorry, but I'm not moved one bit by your situation... Honestly, the judge was too lenient in the sentencing.

Such a very touching story. Its hard to imagine what it means to fall from grace to grass, to go from a highly exalted position to prison, father and mother. I hope the family can pick one or two lessons from this and ride on it to move on.

Mrfixiit:
It's very painful I must say

Meanwhile a drug lord can never be my president God forbid

Noh dey shake this table. You wan chop food for ground

What has happened to the Ekweremadus is so sad. I really feel for them. I have a daughter and I know I can go to any extent to save her life. Ekweremadu did not commit the crime to make profit but to help save her daughter’s life from a life threatening illness. The UK court should have been more lenient. No one chooses sickness, it comes and we can’t help it.

The sentence should be appealed on humanitarian grounds. I’m sure humanity and common sense will come into consideration at the appellate court. My thoughts and prayers are with Sonia and her family.

If United Kingdom was running their laws and justice system on humanitarian and humanity grounds .... they wouldn't have hospitals that can handle sonias health situation in the first place...it would be like Nigeria where everyone with means would be running abroad to treat malaria.
You guys keep showing mercy to your oppressors and I dont get it. They thief ur resources still wan hijack ur kidney, dem catch dem una say una pity them. After working for a month, Dem pay salary una tell them thank you as if na for free una suppose work.

Acidosis:


All the teaching hospitals in Nigeria (including the one in Enugu state) and some private hospitals carry out a lot of successful kidney transplant.

Kidney transplant no be new thing... With some millions and a willing donor, you will get it done. But nobody hates Nigeria and made-in-Nigerian things more than the average politician. They only love you when they need to get something from you (e.g., votes, kidney, brain, and common sense).

The Ekweremadus were just ma.d because they didn't trust the same healthcare system they "built." Same reason your presidents run to the UK and France for treatments. Apparently, the best surgeon in Nigeria is not credible enough to touch their precious daughter on Nigerian soil.

Tell these stupid supporters and sympathizers of political criminals.

because you and your parents were mean and devilishly wicked to the poor boy.. If you had allowed the guy to be without kicking him out on the streets and threatening to call immigration on him.. your parents would have been OK. You and your parents should have given £2k to the guy to find his way.. instead you decided to ‘ show him’ as Naija big folks.. lol.
You thought you were in Naija to treat him like your domestic servants??

God1000:
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

Bad family.

Prayer of Nigerians are working.

Stupid people, I could hear some voice in the background instructing her, you think is Nigeria that you form small god's.
reap what you sow.

Iamicekid:
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

First visa attempt is six months for UK

Very foolish people..they deserve whatever the politicians are putting them through...

I believe the court is already lenient, they said maximum punishment is life-imprisonment.

He will and if you do anyhow you will end up like her father

I'm sure if they had put up an ad for help some people would have come up to help them rather than the foolish deceptive boy they tried to bribe and take advantage of.

UK should investigate all Transplant of kidney in the past 20years...sure this is not the first case.

This chick is playing the victim.

Sis, you're an accomplice, you could have talked your parents out of it or said you wanted no parts.

You get no sympathy from me.

olas24u:


you know with more educated women in the east ,you know the result?

have you ever in your life read about the case in america?i can bet you have never read the charges before and you dont know the out comes. Only reciting chorus , like all the old stories you have in your brains .if you reply i will write about the consequences of a population that is skewed interms of education towards women and men coming to lagos to sell okirika and spare part

Your poorly put words mean nothing to me. Only brain dead youths will mobilize to enthrone a drug baron to rule over them. Have you ever pondered how it will batter Nigeria's image overseas if the drug baron enters Aso rock ? I guess you're still a struggling guy who has no child yet so we're not in the same category bro. Sell those words of yours to your type okay

Grace to grass....at least they experienced grace at some point. Some have been doing b grass to grass because the likes of ekweremadu have cornered the resources meant for all to take care of Sonia and her siblings.
In any case, these people amass so much....they are so far from grass....privileged Nigerians still writing letters to the UK to temper justice with mercy, that's not someone on grass level yet. Don't be surprised he will come back from prison and be given governorship ticket

I'm telling you...!

So she’s a grown woman? Why did I think she was like 10

Crack head go meet your kinds at the motor parks and quote me no more

No mind am...they asked her if she was aware the boy they brought to uk was presented as her cousin she dey give diplomatic response..the interview dey remind me of Tiwa savage interview that year

How did you know that boy didn't lie?
That has plan. God will judge him

The sick daughter ought to have been a strong mitigating factor in the sentencing of her parents. It's like now: daughter go and take care of yourself or die off before your parents finish their sentences.

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

She did nothing to stop it.

Notice how she started stuttering when the interviewer asked her if she knew anything about the man being portrayed as her cousin?

She is complicit.

a good 5 million dollars can build a dialysis center with the state of the act facilities, a money ur father can easily cough out without going to the bank but greediness and wickedness will not allow him do so, 70% of the doctors in UK are Nigerians just build this hospital and your problem will be solved without going though the stress of travelling abroad. But it seems ur family are too comfortable travelling abroad for treatment, so the common man in his constituency can die of kidney failure for all he cares.

was awolowo a drug baron?why did you not vote for him? Do you know what the generation before you called Awolowo? Do you know what the generation before you called abiola?if you are not thinking like your parents you wont be writing trash ,the igbo people caused more harm to the image of Nigeria than any other tribes in the whole of nigeria.you value crime and its part of your culture. The first 419 in the history of Nigeria was in the east when the English selected chiefs ,they went into the villages to deceive the people using the white men,s name to deceive their people.to collect money ,sleep with women etc.from india ,pakistan,brazil,argentina,peru,chile,nepal cambodia ,the jails have igbos in them with sprinkles of other ethnic groups.so tell me who is damaging the image of nigeria ?
