No young man who fully understands the implications of donating a kidney and doesn’t have the money for life-long medical care that’s necessary after donating a kidney would’ve agreed to that.

Cantonese:


Nothing is contradictory. People simply heard that Ekwerenmadu attempted to harvest someone’s organ and they all crucified him instantly. Killing for ritual purposes is rampant in our society, so many then drew the conclusion that Ekwerenmadu was a ritualist. The press went straight to business. His political enemies went straight for his neck.

Now we have heard the story on the other side. The boy himself has told us his own side. Ekwerenmadu has filed a suit before Justice Ekwo asking for the release of vital information that would show the world that he was transparent at all times.

The boy’s neighbors have commented. The boy apparently changed his mind, having japa(d) from Nigeria and was requested to return home, as his kidney did not match. The UK police would try to protect the young man, at least for now. If he loses that case, na handcuff e go carry return to Nigeria.

maasoap:


Were they not going to ruin his life if not for luck, miracle or God? They have other children, don't they? Evil people and their supporters everywhere!

frowland:


The reports are incoherent. The initial event happened around Jan/feb. The boy refused to return and instead seeked for asylum.
Ike went back to UK enroute to turkey with ‘another donor’ but he was arrested based on previous report which he never knew the asylum seeker leveled against him.
If you understand the system in seeking for asylum then you understand that first the boy have to throw away his passport, and then ‘lie’ that he was trafficked. This move guarantees automatic stamp on your papers. Nobody seeking asylum ever says the truth.
Either the government is oppressing or you are a victim of transgender hate and so forth. It always work.

Pinklygul:


The fact that you already declared Ekwe guilty as charged makes you more dubious than I.

See ya

chuksbogus:
These are lies. He was never said to be 41 yrs and wasn't only tested and he wasn't a match. Problem started when he noticed they will be going back to Naija and he was the one that went to the police with his cock and bull story and not what this story is saying.

dadavivo:


Seun is a shame your website has been reduced to mere fake news machine like this op is known for

Curdlebug:


The boy will lose case? Hahaha very funny... First of all the Ekwerenmadu are healthy donors, their children are healthy donors,but u choose to bring someone from a third world country to donate ... If you think his kidney was no match and they just found that out there in the UK after going through all the stress to get him there,common, there are hospitas in Abuja to test for that, in fact,do you know kidney transplant s are done in Abuja and even Lagos?

To further enlighten you because you do not actually know what the crime is here, it's against their law to buy a kidney, You cannot buy in cash or in kind or in anyways transactionally obtain a kidney from a living donor in the USA and UK. the ekwerenmadu are doing time... take it or leave it.

satandeterrible:

It is not.
Please let's not even begin to argue this.
There's no law anywhere in Nigeria that prohibits that.
Law doesn't deal with sentiments. The fact of the matter is that the financial inducement - if there was - happened in Nigeria and not the UK.

Even if happened in the UK, the organ has not been transplanted yet. So at best, it is a case of ATTEMPT to financially induce.

Namzy:
I don't know why people keep saying he wasn't a match and then decided to lie. For such procedure to be done, he would have been tested even before travelling for said procedure that's the standard.

gimakon2:
this one na better Lie.
As in the Lie na Senior Fullstack Level Lie.

Date of birth on that idiots passport day read 2000 as birth year!

GloriousGbola:


The ekeremadus have simply paid different bloggers to plant different stories

It is nothing we haven't seen before

This is how James ibori also produced documents back then to show it was a different ibori convicted for petty theft.

They are already gaming the Nigerian court of public opinion. Most Nigerians now believe that there is no harm no foul because David is an adult who was 'fully aware of what he was doing' and is an ungrateful thief who took the opportunity to set his 'benefactors' up

" after all we did for you - we brought you on an all expenses paid trip to the uk - we paid to xxxxx naira! we took ypu from the slums for a sightseeing trip in the UK! this is how you choose to repay our kindness to you!"

The memes about poor thieves being burned and rich thieves being celebrated are true.

There is no real difference between this and the frequently reported ritual organ harvesting.

The difference here is that this is white collar organ harvesting by a big man with a pen.

Authority stealing.

AkaraAndBread:


My dear, I am a doctor. Donating an organ to someone does not necessarily mean your life is ruined.

There are many people with one eye, one leg, one functional lung, one functional testicle (and still able to father children), one functional ovary (and still able to give birth) etc. living perfectly normal lives.

There are even people born with a solitary horse-shoe shaped kidney living perfectly normal lives. Their renal function tests may even be better than yours or mine (we that both have two...I am assuming you have two )

With any paired organ or tissue it is better to have both in case you develop a problem with one.

A one eyed man can still see, but if something should happen to that remaining eye that he has then he would then be totally blind.

You can donate a kidney and still live a normal life. The only caveat there is that if your solitary kidney should develop problems, then you have nothing to fall back on.

That is why people with ONLY ONE KIDNEY for whatever reason (after nephrectomy, after donation, degenerative disease of a single kidney etc) SHOULD ALWAYS BE ON FOLLOW UP WITH A NEPHROLOGIST.

They are not sick, but they are at a higher risk of renal failure compared with someone with 2 kidneys. Things usually go wrong when the donor is not regular with his appointments or if there is a problem with the solitary kidney it is discovers late.

People are naturally selfish so they will always be sceptical when it comes to organ donation.

Therefore, PLEASE, if you have a loved one who needs a kidney and tests show that your renal function is good/excellent don't be hesitant to lend a helping hand. You are saving someone's life.

You may be putting yourself at risk but these risks can be minimized if proper follow up is done after the donation. Mind you, the follow up is for the rest of your life.

PS: Donating an organ should be on ones volition. Not under duress, deception or coercion.

It is unethical (and in some countries illegal) to purchase one (that is where the crime of exploitation and organ harvesting comes in).

1stGenAmerican:


The issue is not about the age. Their criminal charges are not age-specific. They are charged with human trafficking, exploitation, and organ harvesting.

Geopex:

I agreed with u. Both with the passport, and what it is written on it and According to Nigeria immigration, the purpose of his traveling was stated on the visa, and how come the boy also claimed to the 15 also. It means the boy is telling lies and also the senator is guilty of the other offense too

Vatsyayana:


Thank you for this. It should also be known that you can voluntarily' donate your organs.

Newton2024:
Stop defending nonsense.


"The doctor at the Royal Free in Camden became suspicious about whether the alleged victim was aware he was the donor of the kidney and whether he was 41 as his passport claimed.

The 15-year-old was given the passport of a 41-year-old in order to get into the UK, but did not know he was there to donate a kidney until he went a hospital appointment in London, a court heard yesterday.

After he arrived in the capital in February he had a string of medical appointments about kidney donation, but a consultant at the Royal Free Hospital in Hampstead, North London, became concerned about the boy's real age and if he knew he was there to donate an organ."

LordOfTheGame:


Go back and read again. They were not with the boy while going to Turkey. They may have informed him about the unmatched kidneys and consequently going back to Nigeria hence; the boy leaving home and going to take asylum because he doesn't want to return to Nigeria. As far as I've followed the issue, the Ekweremmadus didn't have any intention of harming the boy just that the ungrateful boy decided to play a smart one thereby giving his benefactors allegations to tarnish their image and get him asylum favour.

He couldn't have been tested here in Nigeria because Sonia was in UK. The two of them have to be tested by the same hospital.

1stGenAmerican:


The UK newspaper used the statements of officials. Tell me why the lawyers haven’t disproved or challenged the information?

1stGenAmerican:


Ashamed of myself? When you live in a country that has presidential candidates who are banned from entering my country due to being convicted of crimes in my country? What a joke you are.
Let’s see if you will be flown to the UK when you have health issues. I think not!

Whoknowsme:
That 41 yrs may be a typographical error

Fira09:
Am tired of this issue.........he supposed to use one of his children kidney and be free from all these problems.

Vatsyayana:


Probable Cause is not enough to charge a person to court (it may be enough to commence investigation) for a criminal case where the standard is proof beyond reasonable doubt.
No you no Sabi criminal law.

1stGenAmerican:


Nope, and I don’t get my facts from social media or bloggers that are habitual liars.
