Transcript
- 0:09Hello and welcome back to another episode of bands with
- 0:11Laurencia. How are you all doing?
- 0:13I hope you're doing great. For today's episode, we're going
- 0:15to be talking about Chimaobi Eric that sold his kidney on
- 0:20credits. Yes, you heard me right.
- 0:24According to the story he was working with his boss I think in
- 0:28Lagos and then he, the boss approached him because the
- 0:32bosses brother had kidney problems.
- 0:35So he said the boss approached him, told him about the proposed
- 0:41$20 million to him that he was going to pay him if he donates
- 0:46his kidney to his brother. So they offer was very enticing.
- 0:52I mean $20 million. I know he has, he does not even.
- 0:59I don't think you understand what $20 million is because
- 1:02according to what he is now, even the boss can don't even
- 1:05have $20 million. But anyway he was promised $20
- 1:10million and to fly him abroad and everything.
- 1:15So according to Eric, they took him to perform medical checkup
- 1:21and they found out that the kidney matched.
- 1:24The whole procedure was done in Nigeria.
- 1:26He donated the kidney and they did a transplant.
- 1:30The brother is now feeling OK and everything.
- 1:34His boss is now refusing to fulfil his own part of the
- 1:38agreement, which is paying him $20 million.
- 1:42So Chimaobi Eric is now crying out saying that people should
- 1:48help him because apparently even the boss, he had to go back to
- 1:53work for the boss and According to him, his health is no longer
- 1:58what it used to be. Because you know these things.
- 2:00Now you need to be on medication for the rest of your life once
- 2:03you've done that procedure. So even the medication has
- 2:08finished, he is not feeling OK, the boss, even the job.
- 2:13The boss Jose I think increased his salary.
- 2:15It's ridiculous. But at the end of the day, he
- 2:19agreed to sell his kidney. Now watch the interview.
- 2:25Which will be Eric. Can you just tell us?
- 2:28Your story. I started working with my boss
- 2:31as a driver at the month of. 2020 at the end of 20/20/18.

- 3:40to happen to me. So you have bought that one
- 3:43thing inside me like this is the rub it on his hand rub it on my
- 3:47head. So in outside playing in their
- 3:48own dialect. So what?
- 3:49I'm I'm just saying I should be saying.
- 3:52To after that. And I drove him to where he was.
- 3:57He was going to go and meet his friend.
- 3:59So I London inside the car and I told him that I would need to
- 4:02keep them for his mother, that you give me $20 million that
- 4:06will buy a house for me in America.
- 4:08And we assign me to one of his friend America, where I'll just
- 4:11be driving cars that will come down from ship to to where they
- 4:15will be packing it. So when I say yes I will do that

- 4:28Yeah. God bless you Chima.
- 4:30I say men so in that to him that we should go to the hospital
- 4:33that we have discussed with the doctor.

- 4:46so and I did many many tests they corrected my poo poo my wee
- 4:50wee so they're not my kidney will match or civil kidney but
- 4:54that's OK for that day. We now go back home.
- 4:57This was the next day me with my regard with OSI with one of his
- 5:02in law which his name is Mr Joe now went to the transport to the
- 5:07not detain us for like 3 days when the incident happened
- 5:12without that three days now she was in Saint Nicholas.
- 5:16So after that the total called me that this is the time for us
- 5:20to do the operation. To allow into the operation
- 5:23room. So that was what I you know that
- 5:26I removed my kidney and give to C So since then after I just
- 5:30started the the drugs they preside for me.
- 5:33Before 2 days I finished the drugs, so till now till 2018 to
- 5:3712 and until now have not been received any treatment.
- 5:40So the other promises that Maga promises.
- 5:44Couldn't make it up, so I keep the team between myself.
- 5:48If I ask my guy how, how far now about the promises, he said.
- 5:51Don't worry, yeah, we'll see. You still put me in mind.
- 5:54So after two weeks ago in this this motor, we are now remember?
- 6:02Happened to me and I'll get back to my senses Sir.
- 6:05So I have to expose this into my parenthood to know what I'm
- 6:09passing through. So after that I let my people
- 6:12should know what and pass through.
- 6:13Then I raise the alarm and start going for investigation to
- 6:18confirm whether it is they remove my kidney.
- 6:20Really. Or not.
- 6:25After the incident, so you have entered the house for me at way
- 6:29Bafu. So I was there for the house for
- 6:31the other one week again for me just to relax.
- 6:34So and now called me that I should start coming to the
- 6:36office to come and assure as should resume work again and ask
- 6:40my boss work again. Case if you told me that this is
- 6:43where I'm going to go and I promise all those promises not
- 6:47make it should just be coming. So as I was from there, I
- 6:50started working again. Going to work.
- 6:53Going to work now assignment that will be collecting 70,000
- 6:57per month in that month. If I did not come to work for
- 7:00two days he did not 30,000 of my money will give me $40,000.
- 7:04And you don't even think of what I did.
- 7:07I don't have any more strength is no I'm not.
- 7:11I'm not. I'm not.
- 7:11I'm I'm not because I don't have much power before the game that
- 7:15I'm using. He said.
- 7:16To sit down does not concern him that I should be coming to the
- 7:19to to that one kidney I would leave.
- 7:22Since then I will be working working.
- 7:24Till now I'm still working with him.
- 7:25So what what I want from the man is to compensate me.
- 7:29The capacity from that year till now, I demand for him 20
- 7:34million, $20 million. To compensate me.
- 7:39Go for medical check up again. They collect more treatment and.
- 7:42Was any document signed before the transplant?
- 7:46She will be told us she signed some documents now.
- 7:50Apparently, he doesn't even know the content of what he signed.
- 7:54So if this consent were obtained?
- 7:58By Deceit. Then that consent.
- 8:02Cannot hold if he has made a promise.
- 8:05We are demanding that if he's going to settle this matter, he
- 8:08should pay 500,000,000 naira to the victim.
- 8:12They called on the police to diligently investigate the
- 8:15matter and ensure Chimaobi gets justice.
- 8:19Now you can see the problem how the rich used people.
- 8:24They literally used this guy, harvested his kidney and now
- 8:30they don't even take care of him medically.
- 8:32The $20 million they've not paid him and his lawyer is crying now
- 8:38saying that you see that they fulfilled their own part of the
- 8:41biking or they face the law. This is at the back of aquarium
- 8:47module who trafficked because actually this procedure was done
- 8:52in Nigeria so there's no international law or anything in
- 8:58this case. But he willingly sold his kidney
- 9:04in the case of acquiring Mardu. He trafficked a child or a young
- 9:08adults with the promise of it because he's still the same
- 9:12promising this man or promising the the the the young adults
- 9:16that he's going to give him money.
- 9:18He's going to get a job, he's going to do this, he's going to
- 9:21do that. After promising all those
- 9:23things. None of it was fulfilled the
- 9:26same thing in this situation. I know then in the case of the
- 9:29government, they said ohh, he accepted, he accepted.
- 9:33But OK, now we've seen somebody that actually accepted to sell
- 9:38his kidney for $20 million. But now this man is not P nop.
- 9:46He's not even taking care of him like his medical bills.
- 9:50He's not even doing any of those things.
- 9:52This is the situation that we find ourselves in.
- 9:54So these are the issues, you know, the rich exploiting the
- 9:58poor. You see somebody who you know
- 10:02when you tell them call such an amount of money and they
- 10:05thinking that this money is going to help them get out of
- 10:08poverty or help them improve their life, they are going to
- 10:11accept these things. OK, you've promised, why not
- 10:13fulfil the promise? Your brother is now living with
- 10:16his kidney while he is now having problems because he
- 10:22cannot even afford the medication of taking care of the
- 10:26remaining kidney. You increased According to him,
- 10:30increased the salary. But why?
- 10:32Why are people like this? Why?
- 10:36It's crazy. It is if you actually want to
- 10:40buy a kidney, which is like, I don't even think that's legal.
- 10:45But let's say you actually want to Why are you even selling your
- 10:48kidney on credit? This is what people are saying.
- 10:51Why are you selling your kidney, your organ on credit?
- 10:55Let's say you've gone to the hospital and it was a match.
- 10:58At that point is when you start demanding for your money at that
- 11:02point. But I think he's just young,
- 11:04he's naive, poverty and everything.
- 11:09And they just use, they exploited this guy, they used
- 11:13him, they call an amount of money that even the boss does
- 11:16not have. But we don't know these things
- 11:20you're thinking, you know, in Nigeria or in Africa, when you
- 11:23see somebody has a house, drive a car, ah, he's a big man, but
- 11:27you don't even know if that person is borrowed the money
- 11:30that he's doing all those things with.
- 11:33Maybe it was a bank loan that he's using and he doesn't even
- 11:38have 20 million, $20 million. That's what we're talking about
- 11:42here. So I think people should start
- 11:45being enlightened in certain things.
- 11:48Ignorance is no longer an excuse.
- 11:51This guy has sold his kidney for nothing.
- 11:54Why do people do all these things?
- 11:56If you know you don't want to help somebody, don't put them in
- 11:59more bad situation. He is poor.
- 12:03And then you now gave him medical challenges that he's
- 12:07going to leave it for the rest of his life without any monetary
- 12:11compensation. Well right now you look at this
- 12:16whole thing is going to be who knows who they will go to court
- 12:22and the the boss will bring a big lawyer before you know they
- 12:27will sweep everything under the carpet because he probably
- 12:31signed a document. They said this rule can be very
- 12:34manipulative. They probably gave him something
- 12:37to sign and maybe now when you go through that contract you
- 12:41might just be OK. You sign $2000, not $20 million
- 12:46people can for the fact that the boss did that.
- 12:50He planned it all along from the beginning.
- 12:53He he wanted to exploit this young man.
- 12:58I pray that the law handles this case and give him justice
- 13:03because this is he is going to leave the rest of his life on
- 13:07medication and from the look of things he doesn't even have the
- 13:10money to do that. People should stop exploiting
- 13:13the poor. Let the poor brief.
- 13:17Let the poor brief. Anyway, thank you very much for
- 13:22watching today's episode. Please like, like, like and
- 13:24share. Thank you very much.
- 13:26Bye, bye.
