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."
