Is Ekweremadu a medical doctor beside if he has provide the medical team and fund what should he do again?

FreeStuffsNG:
Hmmm. You are using western world to compare with Nigeria life style. No human being is perfect, but judging from what l have read about his family, l think he has tried enough. Of course it's easy to apportion blame





I recall having this conversation with my wife during the week when the case of Sen. Ike Ekweremadu came up and I was completely in an incandescent shock that this man actually has a bed ridden daughter yet has been all over the place attending political meetings for his political ambition instead of taking time out to sort out this his daughter's pressing health needs

He was all over the place during the PDP primaries, he lost the PDP gubernatorial primaries for Enugu state then started planning to decamp to APGA, then APC and was even taken to APC national Chairman by HE Uzodinma when APC stalwarts in Enugu APC,led by their state Chairman, outrightly rejected him. He is not returning to the Senate as well. Eventually, he lost on all the political fronts.

Sen. Ike Ekweremadu was all over the place so much that he did not follow through on the health and lifestyle choices of his children.

He did not follow through on what I believe is more important than his political ambition; the life of his daughter and a family at the low ebb of the apprehension of losing a child to kidney failure.

Ike Ekeremadu was so consumed by his political ambition that he had no time and seriousness to do due diligence and background check on the character they got him as a donor for his daughter , I doubt if with his PhD, he even had the time to follow through and read up to ask the right questions from the professionals, understand the risks and benefits of why it could be better for one member of his family of 6 to donate to the daughter instead of a stranger and seek help to find out if there are some of the tests which can be done on the stranger here in Nigeria before bundling a total stranger overseas.

He was so consumed by politics that when the 22-year old donor went rogue and was allegedly scheming behind him to deny his age and report Ike and family to UK police, it probably escaped his detection and intervention soon enough so he can be the first to report to UK police and then return the donor to Nigeria for him to immediately restart the process of getting alternative donor(s) for his ailing daughter whose life was more important to him.

He forgot that he was first a father and husband before becoming a Senator,Deputy Senate President and SSG.
He forgot that he will finish as a father and husband.

I compared him to Biden and I believe that he could have followed the Biden example. Then V.P Biden had a dying son in 2017 and had the opportunity to contest against Trump for the US Presidency but stepped down to support his dying son.

Biden was to sell his family house before Barack Obama intervened and offered to pay for the treatment. Biden's boy made his Dad promise him that no matter what happens, Biden must not give up his life long ambition to be US President, Biden's boy later died. Biden grieved without the guilt of abandoning his son for his political ambition.

In 2021, years after his son had passed, Biden contested and won. There are many Nigerian politicians who will do like Biden but not like Ike.

Family is so important that we even need the approval of a sick dying one before we place anything above their life

That is the lesson Ike missed and about to lose from both ends as his wife who takes care of the daughter remains in prison until July 7.

Last two weeks was Father's Day and I really truly hope that fathers used that day to reflect and understand the real responsibility of fatherhood. It is the hardest job for a man but it gives the greatest reward if you do your best at it.

As a father , I have realized that it is not possible to outsource that role of a father and not pay heavy fines.

May God heal that Ike Ekweremadu's daughter and may God help the Ike Ekweremadu in this their difficult time. I know it is a difficult place for them May God help all fathers to realise that "your child is your responsibility".

That you pay all the bills and have a devoted and responsible wife/mother of your child won't still make up for your negligence.

Your child is your responsibility and not even your ambition can replace what you will miss if you neglect your role in the life of your child.
Do not be like Senator Ike Ekeremadu who was literally chasing rats around the house when his house was on fire.

May God help us all to succeed and may our children not develop kidney failure( Amin). May our labour of love and sacrifice be rewarded in our life time and when we are long gone(Amin).

Funflipper:
Ekweremadu shot himself in the foot with this one because it is a clear example of how powerful he is in Nigeria which the British authorities will likely use against him in establishing their case.

BeeBeeOoh:


Forget matter, God has used the Ekweremadu's to butter David Ukpo's bread.

One thing that's sacrosanct is that he's gonna seek for aduro in UK and they'll give him better aduro to chop.

Lifestone:
They will charge him for lying to the Met Police, a very serious offense, the least he will get is conviction and deportation

Dorakay93:
U are the Mr. Brain inside the skull of every rich person to know they won't think like that.
Is my comment about thinking or just an advice.

Maxymilliano:
That's a fair enough in light of the age discrepancy as reported by the claimant that he's a minor.

Next is to provide enough evidences to prove the botched arrangement was consented to by the donor

Doudoublo:
Mmmm

matrixme:
Many Nigerians are just interested in seeing Ekweremadu go to jail in Britain for no other reason than he's simply Ekweremadu. Yet it changes nothing about the sorry state of your lives.
I personally don't like Nigerian politicians, but one thing I've learnt in this life is that you must never take advantage of sickness to outshine anyone. Sickness is a natural thing about life that could happen to just anyone. I honestly believe there was a mutual agreement between both parties as well as a guarantor's consent before the boy decided to go rogue and decided that it is his turn to shine.
Anyway, it's within the jurisdiction of a functional justice system now, so let's keep our fingers crossed and watch the development.

07kjb:
Which one is charge for Lying? Someone that wants to save him self from being harvested

I guess u don't know what to say

kozmokaz:
Lol will UK deport him ? My guess is NO

guy man will seek asylum since his life is under threat at home

Still a win win for him

gaetano:
If you like bring details confirming his age is 21, it doesn't matter. As far as ekweremadu can't provide a signed agreement that the boy actually agreed with the medical procedure, it won't fly. I just want our politicians to suffer small. You can imagine the kind of bills that would have been passed to help improve our health sector by establishing such facility here but instead they loot and send their kids abroad. Wo, I want him to suffer and for the boy to find his way and enjoy his life over there.

No be everytime politicians dey run us street, make person sef run them

tuoyoojo:
If truly the guy is not 15 as he claims ( something which his facial configuration does not collaborate going by how he looks in his photograph), the U.K govt may start questioning all his claims.

If he is found to be lying, then they would rule out the possibility of the former deputy Senate president offering him financial gratification in exchange for his organs ( which is a punishable offense)

If by chance the former deputy SP is found not guilty, then the young man would be locked up and after serving his sentence, quickly deported back to 9ja

But let's see how it pans out

festacman:
Under normal situation, embassies take their time to scrutinize visa applications from young Nigerians. Numerous questions are asked and vital confirmations made before visa is issued.

Now, given that Senator Ekweremmadu wrote to the British High Commission stating clearly what David Ukpo Nwamini was traveling to do, did the High Commission officials not interrogate the applicant to confirm his mission before issuing visa?

And this question is important given that the boy denied knowing what he was traveling to do.

If the boy is not a minor, it doesn't clear the Ekweremadus. There are still many legal hoops to jump. The prosecutors are the ones holding the aces.

If they like, let them print his DNA too. An aggressive prosecutor can argue that just like the way he got the boy to UK, the Ekweremadus are leveraging on their power in Nigeria to secure those documents which could be falsified going by the level of forgery and corruption that Nigeria is notorious for. The fact is : Nigeria is happening to Ike Ekweremadu right now. Hopefully they won't use him as a scape goat.

They are glad this case is not in a highly litigious country like US. If it were to be, the boy can still file civil lawsuit against the Ekweremadus seeking millions of dollars in damages even if they get acquitted and discharged.
