In the quest for fast money, a 28-year-old
Nigerian man identified simply as Chukwudi, has
lost his life in bizarre circumstances after he
traveled to Malaysia to donate one of his kidneys
to a patient needing a transplant.
According to a Nigerian business man based in
that Middle East country, Chuwkwudi is not alone
in this risky and dangerous business of selling
internal organs for money as many young
Nigerians undertake this venture just to get rich
quick.
This is what the business man (name withheld by
Pulse) reported exclusively to Pulse:
"I know many Nigerians will say it is none of my
business how others make their money but I want
to bring this to the notice of our country people
how many of our young men die here in Malaysia
in very disturbing circumstances.
I can tell of this young Igbo boy named Chukwudi,
from Owerri, (Imo State) who was paid the sum
of N6 million by one rich man to donate his
kidney for a transplant.
The young man was brought in from Nigeria and I
had the privilege of interacting with him and tried
to dissuade from undertaking such a risky venture
but he was adamant, telling me he had made up
his mind already and nothing could stop him.
I even offered he join me in my little car washing
business from which I have been able to build a
house back home but Chukwudi did not want to
struggle to make money.
He wanted fast money and he ended up a dead
man because the operation was not successful.
he died in the process while the rich man had a
successful kidney transplant.
I felt so bad because I kind of liked the boy who
was graduate and had a lot of life ahead of him.
I want to use this opportunity to warn our young
people not to always be in a hurry to make fast
money."
