The
global economic crunch that is affecting all sphere of life is really
having its tolls on Nigerians abroad who have resorted into selling their
kidneys and other sense organs for money.
These Nigerians abroad whose lives have been so unbearable are
actively seeking markets to sell their kidneys online and have been
making journeys to countries in Asia, – Malaysia and India particularly,
to sell usually just one of their two kidneys for over $30,000.
The spoil: N5-10 Million, which translates to about $30-60,000 for
the vital blood filtering and red blood cell (RBC) generating organ has
become a booming market for them.
Researchers have just discovered that there is a
sophisticated online network of vendors, agents, resellers and hunters,
who actively seek candidates, sometimes going to the extent of
kidnapping them and supply these usually desperate,
hopeful-for-a-quick-fix to life’s financial dreams, young Nigerians, to
ready slice-and-pop physicians in shed facilities.
These ‘experts’, we gathered, excavate the organs and ice-box them to
the eager transplant centers, thriving with Asians, Middle Easterner’s
and Europeans on the waiting list, hoping for that fresh, cheap paupers
kidney.
How much do clients pay the harvesting centers for these kidneys? About $100-200,000. And they are teaming on the waiting list. “Sometimes
kidneys are harvested with meager remuneration given the ‘donor’, or
rather, seller- paid as little as $5,000 for the vital organ, and many
others die at operation or soon after,” a source told us.
As you read this article, there are possibly 1000 Nigerians reading
it with you, hoping to find a link to the underground network where they
can get the hook-up to sell their organs. This is what poverty caused
by bad leadership has caused Nigerians. So Sad!
