Are Americans coming to Nigeria for kidney transplant or organ harvesting?

Vice President Kashim Shettima should not be beating his chest that Americans are coming to Nigeria for kidney transplant. Why kidney not heart, brain or spinal surgeries? This strange medical tourism should give Nigeria a cause for concern.

To me, it is not about the quality of our healthcare services or advancement of our medical equipment or expertise of our doctors, but availability of cheap organs for harvesting.

It is just the way some people travel miles into a deep forest to consult a babalawo in a derelict, off-grid shrine. Although there is no development in the forest, it is however believed to be a spiritual realm where physical and metaphysical remedies are available.

Owing to weak kinship ties and erosion of institution of marriage in Europe and America, it is difficult to get a donor in their countries. But in Nigeria, they found an organ farm with cheap and unregulated inputs.

At the time Senator Ike Ekweremadu is languishing in a UK prison for organ harvesting, our leaders are encouraging foreigners to come for a bumper harvest.

Cluelessness from top to bottom, if a sitting vp can be this daft to the extent of parading his cluelessness in public, I wonder what they do in those so called foreign business trips they fly all over the world to attend.

Oga they are exploiting your citizens and flying away with their organs for peanuts, and you are up there feeling fly instead of raising alarm.

True talk. Nigerians are being slaughtered in the thousands every week. It can't all be for the "gods". This problem can't be solved by police. Only mob action, but poverty has made the masses more docile

In America they wait endlessly on the donor list whilst in the process paying expensively for dialysis..
And here in Nigeria the surgery is cheaper n donor is readily available...
Hence the rush to Nigeria.
Infact this present economy don make people dey sell their kidneys ooo.

Instead of investigating some hidden atrocities, these propagandists come out to celebrate what an ordinary citizen know is evil. Nigerian politicians trying to score cheap support
