Thanks and God bless you Kwabena for responding to the cry of the poor, oppressed and less privileged!
I must confessed that I am amazed of the low response this post has caused/produced even among this great elite group. I am not sure of the reason why, but I am certain that it is not the best that we can do as a people, especially as highly placed intellectuals that are very well-respected, with great circle of influence within and around our jurisdiction and/or territory. Anyway, let me not conclude, but rather believe that there are people from this group who are already taking actions and/or planning to take actions against this obnoxious injustice to humanity and a woman!
To respond a little to some of your remarks, I wish to highlight that some Nigerians in Italy (e.g. the man that recorded the video), Nigeria ('ordinary president' media platform and/or reporter) and US (a human right lawyer) are already intervening on the case, as highlighted in the video. However, I strongly feel that more still needs to be done to ensure that Italian Government is well-pressured to fish out the alleged culprits (doctors from different Italian hospitals who perpetrated this atrocity) and have them dully sanctioned and severe punished according to the existing national and international criminal and human rights laws for forcefully stealing the woman's kidney and incapacitating her body and attempting murder through drugs and injections. I have heard about organ harvesting, but have never come close to it in a forceful and cruel way like this before. It is unimaginable to think of the woman's ordeal for 10 years (from 2009 to 2019). It is only God that has kept her alive till this day in order to expose this inhumane and intentional racism and injustice.
I hope that this rejoinder provoke more actions from this group.
Thank you.
Warm regards,
Ndukwe.

--Hello Ndukwe,Thank you very much for your efforts at rescuing this lady by bringing her sad story to the public. This is a lady with a clear mind. Even before her narrative reached where she talked about how they harvested her body-parts, I had concluded that it was the motive and also had projected that eventually they would find a way to impute mental illness to her. What is not clear to me, due to that audio, is whether a Nigerian(s) is involved in the whole process. The Nigerian foreign ministry in Italy should take up the matter with a sense of urgency. Also, the Italian press and Human Rights organization should be involved. The Nigerian community in Italy should champion the rights of the lady. Then again, we Africans don't care about fellow Africans. Pardon my blunt and unguarded generalization, but I am moved by the lady's sad story from 2009 to 2019!Kwabena

Subject: USA Africa Dialogue Series - Devastating blow to humanity, black race, Africans and Nigerians: please can we help bring justice to the victim?--Dear All,
After watching the video recorded in the link below, I have been literally crying and thinking of what I can do and how I can contribute to bring about the needed justice to the devastating blow to humanity, black race, Africans and Nigerians through this Nigerian lady from Edo State. My spirit just struck me to post it to this great group and seek collaborations, independent and voluntary actions and/or assistance that can help bring justice to the victim in the video below: https://www.facebook.com/kingsley.b.omobude/posts/10218671079792947
I strongly believe that rising up for justice on behalf of this lady is rising up for humanity, black race, Africans, Nigerians, and women in particular. Please let us throw our weights using our different platforms, capacities, abilities and privileges, knowing fully well that whoever that fights the course of the poor and less privileged is lending to God and that which s/he gives, s/he will surely be repaid, even bountifully (The Holy Bible: Proverbs 19: 17).
May God bless you and yours for your supports for justice!
Warm regards,
Ndukwe.--
