Ramadan is described as a month long fast. Yet the entire month is filled with feasting. Indeed, binge eating during Ramadan has caused health crisis in Muslim countries. So why is gluttony and excess portrayed as strict discipline and self control in Islam? Is there a spiritual component to Ramadan?

London — A senior Nigerian politician, along with his wife and another man, were found guilty by a U.K. court Thursday of attempted organ trafficking. Ike Ekweremadu, 60, a former deputy president of Nigeria's senate, his wife Beatrice and Dr. Obinna Obeta were convicted of "exploiting a vulnerable victim for illegal organ harvesting" after bringing a 21-year-old man to the U.K. from Lagos, according to the U.K.'s Crown Prosecution Service.

The Criminal Court in London heard the kidney was intended for the Nigerian couple's 25-year-old daughter Sonia, who was cleared of the charge of organ trafficking Thursday, the BBC reported.

Sonia Ekweremadu had suffered from "deteriorating kidneys" and required "regular dialysis," according to prosecutors. Authorities "found evidence that her parents, Ike and Beatrice Ekeweremadu, conspired with Dr. Obeta to identify individuals in Nigeria whose kidneys might be harvested for Sonia's benefit."

In February 2022, the victim, a street trader, was trafficked to London and "was kept under the direction and financial control of the defendants… The conspirators' plan was for the victim to provide a kidney to Sonia Ekweremadu in exchange for the suggested amount of either £2,400 or £7,000 and the promise of work in the U.K.," the prosecutor said in the statement.

The court heard the defendants had attempted to convince doctors at London's Royal Free Hospital that the victim and Sonia Ekweremadu were cousins in a bid to justify the victim's temporary travel visa to the U.K.

The victim had undergone a kidney screening, but a consultant doctor had concluded the donor was unsuitable after learning he'd been given no counselling or advice about the risks of the surgery and lacked funds for the lifelong care he would need afterward.

Authorities were made aware of the case when the victim entered a local police station in West London and said he had been trafficked from Nigeria and that someone was trying to transplant his kidney.

US and the entire Europe are afraid of Russia.

Just making excuses.

But a country hard to find on the map which is Ukraine is literally grinding Russia’s balls. Not even the the whole of Europe

Masterviolence:
The media has brainwashed a lot of folks to believe Russia is no where near the u.s in terms of military capabilities.

Unlike the u.s that could not defend her mainland against a balloon, with her overpriced armaments they could not bring down an unidentified object aerial object with a first shot using a $400,000 (advance missile).

You turned off your transponder to spy on a navy base that is as old as America itself

All the Russians had to do was pick up their jet and spilled holy water on this expensive piece of shit only for it to drop into the ocean and was recovered by the Russians.

The Russia plane crashed into the sea with the drone. Russia is trying to retrieve their plane now. Get updated

Of course, this guy didn’t do that

What is illegal hunting

You must possess a valid state license to kill any animal and you can only hunt within the area permitted by your license and not just anywhere. Anything outside of that would land you in jail

MuchAdo:


What's the big deal in hunting a deer

The big deal is that you go to jail for illegal hunting . Besides, I believe that guy hit it deliberately for his restaurant business

MuchAdo:
Why are there so many deers over there

Inferiority complex lun*tics are talking about village people coming back as if US is heaven

well…. That video may be his undoing. How much is meat in the market? Obviously not expensive enough to put oneself in danger of the law. It’s not worth the stress and police questioning. I have been a lot of times in close proximity with deers. Staring each other in the eye. It’s not worth the stress and legal risk

lecowas:
Lol. People can take risk Sha. Why u go allow ordinary antelope chase u come back naija. Maybe na village people Sha, what do I know?

Exactly my thought. How much is meat at the store that he cannot afford it only to put himself at the risk of the law. Even the stress of preparing it won’t let me pick it up. I would rather go to the store and buy whatever meat I want. Village people can make some people do some dumb sh*t

You will see HOW IPOB terrorists turned Obi supporters will start defending TRUMP now

Ok
