See, I thought to myself “why didn’t they go to India or one of those other countries where such things are more easily obtainable”?.

He probably wanted what he thought would be better quality healthcare not knowing the issues that would come with it.

Regardless of the boy’s age and valid/invalid consent, if it’s illegal to exchange money for organs in UK, then the senator is still going to be in trouble. Ignorance doesn’t excuse anyone in the eyes of the law.

descarado:
All over the world, as long as you are of age of consent and agreed, you have no case. I personally know an undergraduate his age who did that for his prof's son while in school in India.

No hospital will accept to harvest someone's organ without seeing signed agreement from both sides.
The guy has also started implicating himself. Uk is not a country you just walz in and start searching for job. Who will give you such visa? So far, all the documents produced favours ike. Let's watch and see. Uk govt become very interested in the case when he said he is a homeless 15 yrs old boy. I was livid too.

Gwan2:
Even if the boy never had any intention, he might have met people on board the plane or in naija before travelling that gave him this Japa idea.

I met someone like that on board a flight to UK, though a Ghanaian, but his questions to me suggested he won’t return back on his visit visa and will do anything to take back in UK.

Ekeremadu is learned enough to know that the boy consenting to such operation isn’t enough, his first family will be contacted to give their consent as well. Even if the boy consent and the family decline, the operation won’t be carried out regardless the boy’s age

The layers of frustration. Wow

9jaRealist:
Duress is irrelevant….
You cannot make an agreement to buy human organs.
>

Right.

I guess the correct term I should have used is “willingly donate”.

Can they prove he willing agreed to donate before this recent change of heart? I doubt that.

I see big troubles for the senator either way it goes.

maasoap:
So what? At 22, he's still young, innocent and ignorant to make such life changing decision without any of his family members involvement.

Yes I said that earlier too. Even if he wholeheartedly agreed without the enticement of money or citizenship, it’s such a big decision.

There’s no way he wasn’t going to regret it in 5-10 years time when he’s beginning to come into his full adulthood. The senator didn’t think this through at all.

Ishilove:
The British are quite thorough and I'm pretty sure they'll get to the bottom of it.

I believe so too.

Meanwhile I’m praying for the sick person who was supposed to get the kidney.

Gwan2:
You as a senator with all your knowledge and travelling experience took someone to place like UK for major operation with perfecting your background runnings?? What were you thinking?

Exactly
He let his desperation get the better of him.

I kinda understand because any parent can do anything for their child. It’s just all messed up all around

It’s possible the boy is 21 as his passport shows but that doesn’t mean everything is all clear.
Did he know about the reason for the journey before hand? And even if he knew, what measures did the senator take to make sure that the boy wasn’t agreeing based on duress?

I know it’s possible he wanted to use the opportunity to escape the country and then turn around to claim underage. But the senator being the bigger person here should have done due diligence.

So you don’t want a submissive woman?

All your online preaching only to go date and egalitarian? If she’s egalitarian, then she’s feminist. End of discussion.

Glad you had enough reasoning to understand that a mindset of equality breeds the best type of relationships where your partner can truly be a partner to you not like a child under your authority.

Keep it up!

pansophist:
Well not married, but dating a feminist. They are the best kind of women to be with, that if she is truly a feminist. Not the hypocritical ones we all dislike. My ex, for example, does take me out and pay for herself, or for us sometimes. She recognized my struggle as a man and doesn't even believe in nonsense such as patriarchy, because she is aware of and acknowledges her female privilege.

We dated when I was in uni, and of course, broke like hell. She made my life far easier in school, as she will bring all kinds of food stuff from her mother and grandmother and land at my place. She is a good person, feminism or not. Also, many of these so-called feminists are just fronting, they usually melt when real men show up, especially when they won't tolerate that toxic feminism.

She does domestic stuff since it's one of the ways she can show that you love and cares for me. I will probably call her the type of feminist that was preached in the 90s, the older, matured, and humane version, not the idiots that populate feminism now. She even hates what feminist has become these days and will rather call herself an egaliterian. If you meet this kind of woman, then go ahead and marry her.

simeoneh:
Feminist should rest and marry their fellow feminist

True.

But the problem is people who marry those they know that have obviously different ideologies and then want to change them or force them into “submission”. Why?

The women around you obviously do not care.
Live your life the way you want!

ibechris:
I simply disagree with u.

I don’t need you to agree or disagree. It’s a fact. Your agreement means nothing

The general population of active workforce in Nigeria is estimated to be about 80 million people with women occupying approximately 50% of the workforce over the past couple of decades. Anywhere between 48% - 52% from 2010 to 2022.

It fluctuates but never has the female gender been significantly less in employed than the male. If anything, in some years, more women were employed than men. Who knows if this study even considered petty trading because we know there a lot of women involved in it and they feed their families with it.

So please argue with your misogyny

Redpillar:
It is only on Nairaland that men do everything alone. Those women selling fish in the market under hot sun are doing so to buy shoe and makeup by Nairaland logic. Lol

Na who no know them dey listen to them.

Funniest thing ever is that most of (if not all of) their moms contributed financially to their lives. They come to NL and suddenly develop amnesia in order to score some cheap points. Very sad.

May my labor never be in vain. Amen

There are millions of women like your wife.
Women who don’t contribute anything financially are in the minority.
Most women contribute financial resources to their homes and a statistically significant percentage are major or sole breadwinners

ibechris:
Thank u beautiful lady. I love news like this.

This is exactly how my wife has supported me for the past 7years now. And I have not regretted my marriage with her.

Through her support we have been able to achieve alot. Bought 8 lands although we sold the cheapest one this year now 7.

Madam don't relent and u will see how sweet your marriage would be like in time to come.

Do not listen to those feministic idiots out there,who often believe that men were created to suffer alone.

Good luck to u.

Some things leaves one speechless

What’s your previous moniker?
I’m curious now

UpInTheSky:
Hehe. Thank you.

I didn't want to delete my previous moniker. I loved it!
This moniker is here to stay, though. It's going nowhere and anyone who wishes for me to delete it will have to find their nearest transformer. Me nuh care.

I'll continue to post my seafood (e.g. my loves: Salmon and Shrimp; and others like lobster, crab, etc), and non-seafood loves.
I've an IG food page now and only post some photos here for fun and to frustrate my haters in this thread with their jealousy.

Stay blessed and have a great weekend.

“It was the dramatic return of a great and beautiful queen who was simply resplendent and who shone as brightly as the morning star.

"There are some moments that words cannot capture or express and this was one of them. After two long years of contentious silence and acrimonious separation, she graced us with her presence and came home,” he said.

The All Progressives Congress chieftain further said, “It was joy all around to see the return of this great lioness. Every single one of the 60 people that live and work in our home was happy to see her and some even shed a few secret tears of joy.

Mama Aragorn displayed such courage, grace, dignity, and class. This was a moment that I shall cherish for many years. This was a triumph for all lovers of peace and sons and daughters of righteousness

This man is a dangerous weyrey

Someone carried theses ones for nine months and risked her life to birth them. What a waste !

Klass99:
Fat ass and small waist, off me completely . You've got a mouth on you Coco.

How exactly does a male man (not a transgendered one) have a fat ass and small waist?

I am trying to imagine it but it's not working. I just end up smiling and shaking my head.

He’s just pulling “facts” out of his ass. It must be a large curvy ass to hold such a staggering amount of misinformation.

Honestly even if he’s 21, to me his still too young to make that type of decision. Giving a kidney is such a huge deal and the potential for regret is too high especially at such a young age. More so for someone who’s not your family.

The senator should have known better!

Oh the probables are not yours to create but you’re sitting on your fat ass and small waist telling me what’s obtainable in my life?

postmann:
The probables are your creation and yours to feed. Hardly interested.

It's past midnight here and I'm late for the sheets already.

Happy dinner and please keep that charming smile going each time you welcome hubby home from work while helping him with the briefcase and undo his tie . A rare darling of a wife you.

Bye.

Tell me more since you know my finances so well.

Pray tell, which bridge or incomplete building do you think I’ll move into if I end up being the one to provide solely for my family.

I mean according to your logic, I’ll sooner be homeless than pay for my family’s upkeep. No?

postmann:
Most probably it's dinner time for you and I trust your culinary skill makes your dining table one of the most favourite spots in your home. They probably tap their fingers on the table in an excited anticipation while waiting for you to turn up with the HOME MADE goodies from YOUR kitchen.

Hubby provides while you make the home. You wouldn't switch roles for anything, social media feminist rants regardless.

Very unrealistic.

The things misogyny will make y’all say

postmann:
He doesn't have to DO illegal things.

Those are fundamentals that a man ought to be able to provide by himself.

And should the wife works , well good for them both. But it's entirely up to her to decide if she wants to assist.

There are evil people everywhere but the kinds of things that happen in Nigeria leave me speechless. Especially since the reasons are so stupid. Good lord!

Out politicians are bad but it’s possible this boy is lying for benefit. We are always out here trying to wayo each other

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

Oh my gosh

Malachite:
There is poverty and less learned people all over the world, and there will always be. Go do your research even tiny countries with small population have poverty.

Birth control is a choice and some of these pills and injection caused obesity and other side effect in some women. Let people have choice how and when to have children. Stop the decimation against married couples who live by their religious faith.

That’s why more men should get vasectomies. It benefits both them and their wives after they have had the amount of children they wish for. No need for continuous hormonal birth control

John360comng:
Why was your ancestors sleeping when his ancestors worked smart&they were still able to maintain the wealth even him as increased the wealth.

The way poor people hate rich people is so cringe.

I’m poor people?
That’s all you understood?
Okay

Is there any Black Country that has historically or is currently colonizing any white country? Politically disrupting them for their own benefit and holding them down economically?

Some of you are just wow

I can’t even

Loreettaa:
Drop this ancestor ish.
Blacks are greedy.
We are. We sold our relatives to the white man. We.
Stop looking for excuses for the sins of the fore fathers. The Whites didn't do anything we weren't doing.
Wars, murder, rape, slavery. Blacks did all that to their fellow black people.
Abeg!! Enough with this!

I’ve seen the recipe a few times on tiktok/Instagram and they are always complicating it.
Somehow I knew yours would be simpler and it is. Thanks

Cut your cucumber to desired shapes.
Add a spoon of sea salt, ordinary salt can serve too marinate and set aside for 5 to 10 minutes.

Finely chop small ginger. Slice onions, (i used green onions) into a bowl. Add korean hot pepper flakes. Add sugar, oyster sauce. You can use dark soy sauce if you dont have oyster, sesame oil and Korean hot pepper paste, vinegar, wash off the salt from the cucumber and add, add toast sesame seed and mix all together.

Alternatively, you can substitute sugar with honey or any other sweetner, add sriracha instead of hot pepper paste then reduce the sugar or honey.
For 500mg cucumber, all the things you add should be half a spoon. Taste and adjust seasoning as you wish.

Eat as side dish or main meal

Then stop
