Can you see how laws are interpreted?? If it was in Nigeria, the judges will collect billions and rule that technically, Ekweremadu was not involved, he never communicated with the guy, at worst they ll fine him or say “law is not sentiment, there is no enough evidence to convict him”.

Ekweremadu's sentence is a misapplication of justice.
Anyone who can think deeply will understand.

He was convicted of "slavery" even when it was clear that the boy was paid
even before the job was done.
Since when do slaves get paid for service to be rendered.

Qed.

Imagine paying meagre 4.5M Naira for a human kidney. This Ekweremmuo is very wicked and stingy. You're referring your daughter's donor as "that guy"

That 9 years is too lenient in my opinion.

What's meagre about 4.5M?
Kidneys are a lot more cheaper in Nigeria.

profmallor:
Then it shows you never did your homework well. He probably is the most intelligent president Nigeria would ever have. Might be perceived as been corrupt, but he is very intelligent.

Might be perceived?

007Marvel:
Exactly, reason why most blacks guys run after white girls! You see those black girls they love free meals so much and feels entitled, And are dirty minded, stingy and very unreasonable.

Leave your village for once.
Most blacks don't run after white girls and the minority that do rarely have
a successful relationship.

You must be pretty slow to call that Akata a Nigerian girl.

Jeezuzpick:
Hmmmmm......when did this info come to light?

Seriously, I didn't know this before now.

The news came out earlier, some threads were even created here on Nairaland
The boy was taken to an hospital in UK and the test concluded that his kidney is not a match.
Those saying the boy changed his mind didn't know the full story.
It was the realization that he is going back to Nigeria empty handed that made him
go to the police with his fake story.

Anyway, couldn't such compatibility be checked before an offer to buy his kidney was ever made?

In my opinion, I think that's the bedrock of the whole deal.

That is what surprised me about Ekweremadu's conduct.
Who flies a random stranger to the UK without first checking for compatibility?
It was as if he lost all his senses when it comes to his daughter's medical problem.

Such a compatibility test in Nigeria would have gone a long way in his defense in the case.

hmm

Blue3k:
Another lesson is Ekweremadu's should have sponsored legislation to make buying organs legal in Nigeria. Next option go do you business where its legal.

It is not illegal to buy organs in Nigeria as long as it is consented to.
Ekweremadu's ignorance cost him his freedom, no smart person
goes to UK for transplant.

AwkaFinest:
Nonsense talk. Step down fire. Paper weight politician that felt he's bigger than what he truly is. The primaries exposed him.

Party primaries are very different from national elections.
The last election result should have cured your ignorance.

dublinkmy6:
You must think you're sensible.

Why would he accept to donate his kidney for free in Nigeria?

I think you should rather stay on the sideline if you don't understand simple issue.
There is no such thing as simple donation.
The lying boy who previously claimed to be underage understood exactly what he
signed up for and what he will get in return.

His handler told him everything which he agreed to before being flown out.
Before you ask for signed contract, there is no contract involved in Nigeria's
informal organ donation market.

Ekweremadu ran into problem because it is illegal to pay for organs in the UK, it has
to be given without inducement.
Coupled with the fact that the adult boy really want to stay in the UK by all means
possible. It was easy to claim that he doesn't know why he was in the UK.

Daniego:
Had it been the market is dominated by the Northerners, this could triggered ethnic war. How can these idiots been paid to destroy what their generation can never acquired just for politics!

Actually, the "Alaba Rago" raided by police is dominated by northerners.
If you took time to read, you will realise that no market was burnt.

Jeezuzpick:
In all fairness to the boy, all that is important to the Ekweremadus was the kidney.

Period.

He had to go to the UK for the success of the transplant.

Dasall.

I won't be surprised if the plan was to take both his kidneys and leave him to quench sef.

These politicians are wicked like that.

The boy is not the first Nigerian to agree to sell kidney for money.
Nobody is quenching anybody.
FYI, his kidney was not a match to the girl.

The boy became a "victim" when he learned he would be flown
back to Nigeria because he couldn't provide the needed kidney.

fuckingAyaya:
how did he caused them trouble?

He agreed to be a donor only to claim victim after getting to the UK.
Before you reply with exploitation and oppression bla bla, remember that their
are people who donates their organs right here in Nigeria based on agreed upon condition.
Nobody forced them.

inforesource:
hmm. That is why I don't trust these foreign countries. They don't reject anything fraudulent, instead they will shield you and bank your money and generate income and taxes. I don't blame these corrupt politicians that have safe havens outside to bank our wealth, it is the corrupt foreign countries who connived with them to carry out these dastardly acts.

I don't know what you are feeling like.
They don't need your trust, respect or approval.

Only a foolish country will reject direct foreign inflow.

Pierohandsome:
13yrs with no breast? Is that how they look over there?

Over here in Ph, even 9yr old girl has full blown boobs

Dumb pedophile.
Check the topic again.

N3TRAL:
At this point we cannot deny that the plethora of leniency pleas sent by prominent African individuals and organisations, in the form of letters posted to representatives of the British Government, influenced the court in tempering justice with mercy.

It's a fair conviction and sentence, especially, due to the fact that the case is the first of its kind in the United Kingdom brought under the Modern Slavery Act of 2015.

They'll become better Earth citizens when they complete their jail terms.

I hope that my pretty Sonia gets a legal donor and completes the transplant successfully before her parents are released.

I also wish the brave victim well and hope that he goes through a soothing integration into European culture and society. He is the Hero of the story.

The letters had no effect.
In fact, Ekeweremadu's lawyer is one of the worst attorney anybody can get.
Imagine getting your client who had no direct communication with the alleged victim
until he got to the UK convicted of slavery.

Even madams who actively traffic women don't easily get convicted.

olasaad:
Come to Ogun state and get answer to your question. They have many big industries and very bad roads yet everyone is doing their job.

I thought you guys only rate politicians based on infrastructures?'
I mean all the campaign season was about those who built vs those that didn't build.

Nazgul:
The US through Antony Blinken negotiated a 3 day cease fire between the warring factions in Sudan and are constantly pressuring both sides to sheath their swords and embrace peace.

But the same US is encouraging Zelensky not to surrender but to keep fighting with Putin and are even selling weapons worth billions of dollars to him.

If the US replicated the kind of efforts they're putting in Sudan to ensure that the crisis over there doesn't escalate...in the Russia-Ukraine conflict, believe me, both sides would have come to some kind of agreement, and peace would have returned to both countries.

It's obvious that this Russia-Ukraine conflict benefits the US. That's why they don't want it to end anytime soon.

You know what they say, it is better to keep silent...

For your learning exercise, I suggest you read about the difference between an invasion
and a civili war.

blabulu2000:
To support of is a business in Nigeria for people that really know how to do it....if you doubt me, ask Rufai in Arise TV...rufai was a nobody journalist in Arise TV but the moment he started making comments to support Obi....it has sudden become an Ace Journalist.....you can not imagine millions of naira some of these corrupt politicians could have dump into his account just to keep spreading and propagating lies about APC, Buhar,i and President-elect...
David Humyein also has cash out with this lies ...and all kind of unreliable news he is publishing....or so you think he is spending his personal money to be doing all this garbage?/ not until you trace his bank account...you can imagine those bulk of.momey these corrupt politicians could have transfer into his account to keep doing what he know how to do.best...but I was disappointed the day I heard him speaking as a journalist. And that if this is who some people are taking his word seriously then.....we don't have journalists in Nigeria.....he is so unprofessional

Always speak the truth.
There is nothing unreliable about this news no matter how Hundeyin presents it.
Ownership of houses in the west are not some super secret.
Even a kid could verify ownership themselves.

Air Peace didn't go to Sudan.
Not even the airforce could go there.
Nigerians were airlifted from Egypt.

Afamed:
The sincerely question , you should ask yourself.

Why did Osinbajo come far distant 3rd behind Amechi in the APC presidential primary election?

Because Tinubu already pocketed the governors by promising to pick several of them as VP.
He also cornered the northern christian votes by promising them VP positions too which caused
them to react negatively to his eventual decisions.
Also, most APC governors and ex in the SW owes Tinubu a favor.
BTW, let us stick to the topic which is a scenario in which Osinbajo is the flagbearer.

Both PMB structure and Tinubu structure won the presidential election for Tinubu
The question is where is Osinbajo structure in APC.

So Ganduje, Shettima/Zulum, Wammako's and Wike's structure is now automatically Tinubu's?

Small time now, you will start telling us how Tinubu build those men from the ground up.
Tinubu's so-called structure failed totally in his Lagos residence.
What does that tell you?

Never ever compare PMB with Tinubu.
PMB has a constant loyal structure that has nothing to do with which party governs which state.
PMB never had to beg nor bribe anyone for support. That is a real structure.

Osinbajo himself knew, before the primary election, that was why he was lobbying to anoint him.
Osinbajo knew he would still have to totally rely or bank on Tinubu machinery if eventual he had won the primary

Osinbajo knew that primary elections is tougher than the general one because
he has neither the money nor gang members to rely on.

Most of una no want elementary truth
Most of you know nothing in politics

You are speaking of yourself.
You know absolutely nothing about politics.
That is why you can't mention one state that Tinubu won that Osinbajo would have lost.

Now here are the Osinbajo would have won that Tinubu lost.
Lagos, Osun, Plateau and Nassarawa.
sleep on that.

trutharena:
All the states in the North except Benue.

Atiku will never come third in Kano to an Osinbajo.

Osinabajo will never win Sokoto or Borno. You can see that even Tinubu struggled in Borno a bit.

Other states that Tinubu got massive votes in the North would have been ceded to Atiku if Osinbajo had been on the ballot.

Now can you mention states you think Osinbajo would have won that Tinubu wouldn’t win?

Actually Atiku will come third in Kano.
Desperate Ganduje produced Kano's result and not Tinubu.
It is obvious from their governorship election.

Borno's result was the handiwork of Shettima and Zulum.
Even if Shettima had been a running mate to a tree, the result won't be any different.

Remove Wammako from Sokoto and Atiku would have crushed Tinubu over there.

In fact Tinubu northern winnings had everything to do with whether a powerful APC leader
exist in the state.

He will have given Atiku a run for his money in Kaduna.
Osinbajo would have won Lagos and Osun with clear margins.
Osinbajo will never lost Plateau and Nassarawa.
In fact, a large part of Obi's vote in North-Central would have been swallowed by Osinbajo.

adekolaelect:
Agreed but I meant if Oshibojo replace Tinubu in apc with obi and Atiku . Atiku would have become the president by now.

That outcome is not certain. It is highly unlikely that Atiku will get 25% in 24 states. Actually a rerun would have been declared.
First Osinbajo will win Lagos hands down.
He will also win Osun because Adeleke campaigned against Tinubu for fear of him buying judgment
for Oyetola should he become president.

Despite what the result look like, MM ticket had some effect in the SW as many refused to vote.
Atiku would have lost majority of the votes he got in the SW, obi's votes won't even be worth counting.

As to the North central, Plateau and Nassarawa would have gone the way of APC.

What many don't realize is that most Northern APC governors, senators and reps can't afford to not fight and campaign for
their presidential candidate because should he lose woefully, many will be swept away along with him.

garfield1:
Tinubu did well in core north because of his religious combo

First, Osinbajo would have won Osun because Adeleke won't bother campaigning against him.
Adeleke was scared that a Tinubu presidency will buy judgement for Oyetola.

Secondly, Osinbajo would have won Lagos hands down. In fact, his margin of win in the SW
will be massive compared to Tinubu's.

Also, Osinbajo would have won Nassarawa and Plateau state.
In fact every place Obi did relatively okay in the north central due to religious sentiment will be fairly contested by APC with
Osinbajo as candidate.

People keep saying Tinubu did well because of religious combo but that is entirely different from
what is on the ground.
Where were the jubilant northerners when Tinubu was declared winner?

Tinubu benefited from the fact that most northern APC senators and reps have no choice but to campaign for full party tickets
or they will be committing political suicide.
Many northern APC governors were also afraid of their post-office future should a different party take over at the center.

adekolaelect:
Oshinbajo can never win presidential election against Atiku. All well know politicians knew this that was why they opted for Tinubu but those non Apc supporters that want Oshibajo for Apc are just doing that for the easiest defeat of apc in the presidencial election.

You are wrong.
Neither can Tinubu win Atiku.
Obi gave Tinubu victory, if not he would have suffered the worst humiliating loss.

Afamed:
The bitter truth. Atiku knew this, that was why he was rooting for Osinbajo or Amechi as the candidate of APC.

Atiku wasn't rooting for anybody.
He only hoped he could unite PDP.

There is no state Tinubu won that Osinbajo would have lost.
None.

If you disagree, list the states you believed Tinubu won based on his own recognition.

trutharena:
Osinbajo will come third if he was the one on APC ticket.

—Atiku will come first

—Peter Obi second

—Osinbajo third

—Kwakwanso fourth.

Can you list the states people voted for Tinubu because he was on the ticket that Osinbajo
would have lost?
I am waiting.

Jogs1900:
Tinubu is the only Southern politician that can defeat Atiku and Atiku and his gang know this.

God bless the Jagaban

Obi actually got Tinubu elected.
Without him, Atiku would be preparing for swearing in.
Don't believe me?
Go and check INEC rev portal.

Some posters up there thinks blockchain and bitcoin means the same thing.
They don't, so don't bother rejoicing.

DMerciful:
Europe solved this problem by dividing along ethnic lines to the smallest countries like Monaco, Luxembourg, Malta, Croatia, Macedonia etc.

Here, we believe division is a bad thing. That's why people hate biafrans because they say they wanna break up Nigeria when infact Nigeria is too diverse to succeed.

Remember when God wanted to destroy the tower of Babel in the Bible, he introduced many languages and they became confused and couldn't work together. Nigeria is not designed to succeed unless we kill tribalism which is extremely hard!

Cure yourself of ignorance.
No European country is a single tribe none.

At no time did European sit down together and divided
themselves along ethnic line.

If diversity is the bane of development, America, a diversified country from birth
should be worse off than Somalia which has a majority ethnic group.

No cause for alarm.
