MY mother has End Stage Kidney Disease. She is dying, and only an urgent kidney transplant will save her.”

Such were the words of  Johnson Delight  Uzebbaonuan whose 48-year-old mother, Flora O. Akhare is currently down with the ailment.

Johnson who is the only child and custodian of the ailing Flora, said she  hails from Uzebba Luleha Owan West local government of Edo State and is a staff of Ikpoba Okha Local Government in the State.

His words: “She was diagnosed with Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) in April 2018. Prior to this she had been a confirmed hypertensive and diabetic patient and was  usually complaining of poor vision (diabetic retinopathy).”

Johnson told Good Health Weekly that it all  began around 2015 when Flora noticed excessive thirst and frequent urination and she went for check up. “She was confirmed to be diabetic and started treatment immediately. But her condition deteriorated and she had become totally bedridden.

“She went for an eye check in Benin  City and was told she had diabetic retinopathy. She was recommended to Eye Foundation, GRA, Ikeja where tests showed that her kidneys were affected.

“She currently undergoes dialysis at Clinix Healthcare, Anthony where she was referred from the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital, LASUTH.

“Series of tests and a doctor’s assessment confimed that dialysis is unsustainable and that her  hope is kidney transplant.

“Already we have a suitable donor, but the challenge is that we need a lot of money the surgery.

“I am begging for donation from kind hearted Nigerians. We were told the transplant will cost a minimum of N8 million to be carried out in India.

“Please kindly assist  with whatever you can.  I’m alone in this. Everyone else has abandoned her but I cannot abandon my mother. Please help save my mother’s life.”

If you are moved to assist, kindly send donations to  Akhare Flora Olochemuan, First Bank 2009301003 or contact 08064945586.

According to InfoMigrants, Nigerian women are at growing risk from traffickers in Germany who exploit and engage them in prostitution. Read the full report below by InfoMigrants. The new prostitute protection law in Germany was meant to identify victims of human trafficking – most of them migrant women. More than 18 months after the law came into effect, thousands continue to be targeted for exploitation, and the risk for Nigerian women seems to be increasing. There are campervans parked by the roadside. Some have hearts painted on them, one says “girls, girls” in red letters. It’s an easy matter for someone to stop for a quick transaction in one of these Love-Mobiles – sex with one of the “girls” in exchange for the going rate. Prostitution is mainly legal in Germany, as are these mobile brothels. But many of the women in the business – including those working from the Love-Mobiles – are victims of illegal human trafficking. Most of the women are from Eastern Europe or Nige...

FULL TEXT: A sacrifice for our new political order – Ezekwesili

“When the ACPN leadership approached me in a series of visits to appeal that I run for office on their platform, the party appeared to be a good fit. It was founded by some disgruntled PDP members some years ago, but when its prime founder decided to return to the PDP, a core of its membership refused to move back with him. I was told that they stayed back because of their opposition to the ways of the PDP.

I have been truly overwhelmed by the reactions to my announcement from Nigerians. Even in airports outside the country as I travelled last week, Nigerians walked up to me with questions, concerns, encouragement, and motivation. I also saw disappointment by some who had poured their hearts and hopes into actualising our mission ...
