At 63 years of independence, Nigeria is either under the knife of a quack doctor, a certified but perfidious organ harvesting doctor, or a know-next-to-nothing illiterate who uses his or her brother’s certificate to organise a medicine store that doubles as drug exchange point!
“Suyi, we are losing our humanity.” That was from an elderly fellow. It was a telephone call. I kept quiet at my own end. He continued: “I don’t know what to call this. We have gotten to a stage where we cannot trust our hospitals not to harvest our organs!” Still no response from me. Then he asked: “Suyi, can’t you hear me; why are you not talking?” I could feel the anguish in his voice. I knew it was rude for me to remain silent when an elder initiated a conversation. But I wanted him to enjoy his agony. He is one of those who always find excuses for the failure of leadership that has been our misfortune in recent times. I merely sighed. He asked if I did not read about Adebola Akin-Bright, the 12-year-old boy whose intestine was poached by some felons at the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital (LASUTH), and the butcher in Jos, Plateau State, one Mr. Noah Kekere, who, for years, had been harvesting human organs with absolute impunity in the name of a surgeon. I eventually responded that I read the stories. He retorted: “So, you mean in Nigeria, doctors harvest people’s organs? Are we still human?” I answered by saying that it is not only people’s organs that are missing in Nigeria, but the country itself has lost all its vital organs and as such, the citizenry has lost its humanity!
Nigeria celebrated its 63 years of independence on Sunday, October 1, 2023. That was a huge one for the country and it would not have been a bad idea if we had rolled out the drums to celebrate. But Nigerians could not rejoice. Nigeria itself could not dance in celebration of its freedom. Why? Every vital organ that the country needs to be able to do acrobatics for the 63rd anniversary of its nationhood has been harvested by bad governance that has been its lot since independence in 1960. The last eight years under General Muhammadu Buhari have been the worst ever in the chequered history of the nation. Unfortunately, the present administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu appears to be the very one sent from the pit of hell to finally nail the coffin of the country. The agony of the people since May 29, 2023, when Tinubu assumed office remains a contender for a conspicuous space in the World’s Guinness Book of Records. From our lethargic executive to the comatose legislature and the amenable judiciary, Nigeria is on the reverse gear to the Stone Age. The nation drifts around like someone whose organs have long been lost to debilitating infirmities. And truth be told, legions are the ailments which afflict Nigeria. For my interlocutor above, my submission is that Nigerians lost their humanity long ago and the business of organ harvesting in the country is unlimited.
FROM THE AUTHOR: Alaafin Stool: Putting Culture To The Sword? [OPINION]
We will be living in the proverbial fool’s paradise if we believe that organ harvesting is limited to the Plateau kidney theft or the Lagos intestine poaching. It is an all-encompassing malady. More than anything else, bad leadership, corruption, and deliberately playing accessory after the fact of maladministration have harvested Nigerians’ organs more than the felons in Jos and Lagos have ever done. Check it, there is no organ that the corruption and perfidious system we run have not harvested from the Nigerian populace: our eyes, noses; brains to common sense, and from our hearing to sensitivity and sensibility. If not so, how would ‘human rights activists’ of yesteryear close their eyes to the corruption going on in the land all because their pay masters are in power? If our eyes have not been harvested by the filthy lucre thrown at us by the locusts in power, how would a government remove fuel subsidy without any plan to ameliorate the attendant sufferings and the no-subsidy-removal-group of 2011 are not seeing Nigerians going through untold hardship in the hands of the very ones who bankrolled the Ojota, Lagos music concerts to pummel GEJ into backtracking on subsidy removal? How are we sure that those who gave ‘inspirational’ speeches at Freedom Park in 2011 still have their eyes intact to see the sufferings in the land?
Who else, but a populace that has had its brain harvested will still advance arguments in support of President Tinubu’s stance that Nigerians, nay the entire world, have no right to know the contents of his ‘acclaimed’ academic records, as he is arguing in court in the United State of America in his case with Atiku Abubakar? How about the professors, who for over three decades have taught students upon students, but who now come out to tell you that a First-Class graduate, as we have in President Tinubu, has the right not to show the world his academic credentials? What do you make of the brains of such ‘eggheads’; what has happened to their brains? When a gynaecologist of no mean repute says that it is not our business to know if the Bola A(hamed) Tinubu who attended CSU can be a male, female, or a hermaphrodite, do you still think such a gynaecologist has anything occupying a space in his skull? Do we also talk about the numerous Senior Advocates of Nigeria (SANs) and their arguments that by virtue of students’ entitlement to secrecy and privacy, our president is covered by law not to make his credentials available to us to screen? If for these legal ‘luminaries’, the issues of morality, integrity and credibility can be completely ignored, are we not right to interrogate the existence of their sensibilities?
FROM THE AUTHOR: Obasanjo: Day Obas Ate In Public [OPINION]
What about our feeling as Nigerians? Do we still have that intact also, or it has long been harvested? Why, for instance, would David Umahi, the Minister of Works, lock out workers for coming late without paying attention to the fact that most of those workers have since abandoned their personal vehicles because of the unaffordable fuel prices, and have to wait, endlessly, for the non-existent public transport, if he still has his sense of empathy intact? Why, again, would Nyesom Wike, the emperor of Abuja, the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) and Femi Gbajabiamila, the Chief of Staff to President Tinubu, showcase their culinary expertise in a country where Nigerians go to social events with all sorts of containers to pack leftover food and bones to feed their families? Will people with unharvested sense of propriety make a video of such rich dishes, the way Wike and Gbajabiamila did, in the midst of abject poverty that has made the masses return to dunghills to scavenge for food and other daily needs?
Think about the troglodyte in Imo State. Who else but a governor with a missing reasoning faculty; someone lucky to be made governor by the reason of a missing organ in the nation’s supreme Court, but the only thing he could offer his people is a second Trans-Atlantic slave trade jobs in Europe? Or did you not watch the video where Governor Hope Uzodimma of Imo State, in his desperate bid for a second term, “assured” the youths of the state that he had secured for them 4,000 jobs in Europe? He did not stop there. He told his equally cheering vital organ-deficient crowd that he had discussed with the European countries and had concluded plans to pay for the tickets of the 4,000 intending slaves to Europe! If we were to carry out a physiological analysis of the Imo State governor, how many of his organs are we likely to find missing if in 2023, the best a governor could offer his people is a promise of 4,000 jobs in Europe? Why has he not been able to create 4,000 jobs in his state? Is it not the same state where the late Sam Mbakwe created Aluminum Smelter Company at Inyishi, the shoe factory in Owerri, the Imo State University, the College of Agriculture, Umuagbo, the College of Technology, Owerri, now Federal Polytechnic Nekede, the Golden Guinea Brewery, Umuahia (now Abia State), the Model Poultry, Abutu, and many more? How many jobs were created then? How much will it cost Uzodimma to transport the 4,000 Imo youths to Europe? If you get the figure, ask what that amount of money will do for the good people of the state! Why have Imolites not raised the alarm about the missing brain of their governor?
Why are our leaders not smelling the ominous cloud of disaster waiting in the corners if the current level of lack in the land continues? Why are they carrying on as if all is well in the face of the combustive frustration, anguish, anger, lack and bitterness in the land? Do they just think all these will go away naturally? If their nostrils have not been long harvested, why is it difficult for them to smell the impending disaster? If they have no nostrils to smell the latent danger, can’t they touch the palpable tension in the country? They asked us to take to farming. We did. Herders showed up and ate up our plantations. We ran. We returned later to harvest the leftovers, loaded them into trucks for the nearest markets; the vehicles got stuck on bad roads. Tomatoes rot away, onions perish, and livestock die for lack of water on the bad roads the inept leadership donated to us. The entire atmosphere is perfumed by a poignant smell, yet our ministers keep doing ‘on-the-spot-check’ to determine the states of our roads. The construction of the Benin-Ekpoma-Auchi-Okene-Lokoja-Abuja expressway started in 2001. Over two decades later, not more than 30 kilometres from Benin to Auchi have been completed. The Lagos-Ibadan Road is there, and many others. Nigerians die avoidable deaths on those roads daily, and leaders upon leaders keep on using them as campaign promises. Yet they cannot perceive that a day will come when the people’s goat will be pushed to the wall, and it will turn back to attack its tormentors. The country is sitting precariously on a keg of gunpowder, yet our leaders are busy playing cards with boxes of matches, and we don’t want to believe that their nostrils have long been harvested!
FROM THE AUTHOR: OPINION: The Husband Beaters Of Lagos
How many more Nigerians will have to have their organs harvested before the government will realise that we don’t have any health care delivery system anywhere? What is happening in our tertiary health institutions such that a child’s intestine would be harvested the way that of Adebola Akin-Bright was harvested in LASUTH? Who supervised the operation? Who was the consultant in charge of the ward that day? When the poor boy began to show signs of post-surgery trauma, what steps did the management of the hospital take; what further medical examination and re-examination did they carry out? The University of Benin Teaching Hospital (UBTH) loaded my son with antibiotics for over two years until I demanded for a referral letter to the teaching hospital in Osogbo because that is close to where the boy schools. I almost ran mad when on getting to the Osogbo hospital, the doctor who examined the boy raised the alarm and told me matter-of-factly: “This boy must go for surgery today!” Before I could say anything, the doctor, I guess a consultant, had instructed his subordinates to prepare the theatre for 3pm, scribbled something on the paper, handed over the same to me and asked me to go for costings and make payments. By 3pm on the dot, my boy was prepared for the knife, and I say this, since then, the problem has not recurred. That was the same issue a consultant in UBTH, who would not even allow me into the consulting room, was recommending antibiotics for! How many of such cases do we have all over the country?
What about the organ harvester of Jos, Noah Kekere? Who is to be blamed for his activities? In the entire community of Yanshanu where he plied his trade before he was arrested, there is no single health care facility apart from the slaughterhouse called Murna Clinic and Maternity Centre. Is it sufficient for the Nigerian Medical Association (NMA), to come out to deny that the fake doctor is not its member? Beyond calling out doctors on strike action, does the NMA monitor what goes on in that sector of our nation? How many maternity centres, clinics and hospitals are registered? Even the so-called registered private hospitals, how many qualified nurses are on their payroll? How many people who answer the appellation nurse, are nurses indeed? Who certified these private hospitals to train ‘nurses’? Or has the NMA’s sense of responsibility been harvested too? About seven people have come out so far to say that Kekere harvested their organs. Are we ever going to know the actual number of his victims? Will Nigerians ever get to know the buyers of those illegally harvested organs? Those who poached Akin-Bright’s intestine, may we ask them what they used it for: suya or the delicacy called orisirisi? In the words of the entertainer, Mr. Macaroni (Adebowale Adebayo), “Are we normal?”
Go to your neighbourhood and see the number of ramshackle shops painted white with the inscription, ‘Pharmacy’, conspicuously etched on them! Some of the ‘pharmacists’ operating those shops set drips for patients, administer injections, and ‘prescribe’ medications! In some extreme cases, these emergency community pharmacists perform minor operations. I asked one of them which Faculty of Pharmacy she graduated from, and her answer shocked me. Her brother, a certified pharmacist, used his Pharmaceutical Society of Nigeria (PSN)’s certificate to establish the business and used it to “settle” her. So, the ‘pharmacist’ has a certificate allowing her to operate. Why is that so? The PSN is only interested in the annual practice fee paid by its members, chikena! That is why you have one PSN certificate opening as many as 10 shops in different cities across the country and the owner smiles to the bank every month with the returns from the shops. In such PSN members, their sense of duty and responsibility was long harvested!

Edo Hospital Denies Complexity In Death Of Twin Babies

Management of the Med-Vical Medical Centre in Benin City, has denied allegations of medical negligence, secrecy and incompetence in the handling of the very ill extreme pre-term twin babies referred from another facility to them.
Med-Vical Medical Centre is specialized in paediatric and neonatal intensive care services with state of the art facilities for respiratory care and life support
The pre-term babies died on separate days at the neo-natal intensive care centre.
Parents of the babies, Mr. and Mrs. Jerry Sylvester had petitioned the Police calling for discreet investigation into the death of their babies.
They accused the hospital of taking one of the babies to the mortuary without informing them.
But the hospital said the babies were delivered pre-term in another hospital, but subsequently referred from a second private hospital to our facility at about 9pm on July 9th.

The Consultant Paediatrician/Neonatologist of the hospital, Dr. Enato Gertrude said she received the babies who were in a critical condition and diagnosed them to have severe prematurity, severe respiratory distress syndrome, severe neo-natal sepsis and peri-natal asphyxia.
Dr. Enato said despite the fact that the parents of the babies could not provide 50 percent of what was needed to start treatment, they commenced treatment in a race to save the babies.
She said the parents were counseled, informed and their consent sought on every step taken to treat the babies.
Dr. Enato said the first twin died after eight days of being admitted at the facility, while the second one died after three weeks.
According to her, “I wasn’t there at the delivery. I don’t know what transpired. I don’t know everything that happened until they got to our facility which was several hours after the children were born, because they came into our facility very ill.
“When the children came, we diagnosed them and put the babies on the machine and started treatment, there is a minimum deposit that is supposed to be paid. The babies needed tubings, surfactants and caffeine citrate, which are expensive. They are not even readily available over the counter.

“They’re actually specially ordered, specially packaged, and cold chain must be maintained with them. And they are quite expensive. I don’t produce them. I buy them to use for the babies. And it’s supposed to help these babies. So at this point, the parents didn’t have enough money for all of this. I think the father had less than 50% of the money because he said he couldn’t get the money at that time.
“He came to meet me and I just told the billing officer not to bother them, let’s attend to these babies first, collect what he had. So I think then he had just 250,000 or so for each baby. But we were not focusing on the money. We just needed to save the lives of the babies of which we continued the care.
“We placed both babies on the machine and we continued to give antibiotics and oxygen therapy. And at a point, we noticed that the respiratory distress was not getting better and we informed the parents.
“while on admission we noticed the babies had thrombocytopenia (low platelets) and immediately we told the parents to get what they call platelets. Due to the severe sepsis, we also requested for blood culture.
“At a point on day eight, we noticed that the thrombocytopenia for baby two was not getting better despite all that we had done. A diagnosis of severe neonatal sepsis with multiple organ dysfunction and disseminated intravascular coagulation was made.

“So we called the parents and counselled them that we needed to put the baby on the ventilator for complete life support but at this time the baby was bleeding from thrombocytopenia and we carried the parents along. They saw what happened. Despite all our resuscitation efforts for the baby, the baby succumbed to the illness. The father wasn’t happy after we explained everything to him. It was quite painful at that time for everybody.
“Following the passing of the first twin, the father became hostile and we tried to counsel him but he was difficult to get him to calm down. We even suggested referring the second twin to UBTH, but he quickly declined and pleaded for treatment to continue, as they had no where else they preferred to go to.
“We did a lot for these babies to ensure that the second baby continued to live but two weeks after the passing of the first baby, we noticed bleeding continued for the second one despite blood transfusion with platelets administration, and the baby needed a mechanical ventilator (life support).
“We counseled the mother and told the mother that at this point that the baby had poor prognosis. Chances of survival was slim and she said yes that we should continue to do everything she has faith that the baby will survive.
“On wednesday we saw a little bit of improvement but it declined again and the baby had to be continued on mechanical ventilator life support, but the baby succumbed to the illness.”
She said the parents were contacted, the mother came to see the corpse of the child, she left and didn’t return.
“Due to the delay in claiming the corpse after 12 hours of demise and after several attempts to reach the father to no avail, we decided to take the corpse to the mortuary. We never denied the parents access to their child’s corpse.”
The hospital further added that they are committed to transparency and accountability in their operations adding that at Med Vical Medical Centre, patients safety and well-being are top priorities as they strive to provide highest quality care.

Rome’s history offers timeless lessons for all nations to jealously guard their freedom. Consider one of its emperors, Caligula: Born Gaius Caesar Augustus Germanicus, he reigned from AD 37 to AD 41. Known as Little Boots, Caligula’s four-year reign epitomised tyranny.
Albert Camus captured his ruthlessness in his 1938 play “Caligula”, while Stephen Dando-Collins’ 2019 book, “Caligula: The Mad Emperor of Rome”, and Kate Zusmann’s article, “Roman Emperor Caligula: The Mad Tyrant of Rome”, give vivid portraits of his excesses.
Zusmann wrote: “Caligula’s reign lasted only four years, but his cruel and unpredictable behavior earned him a reputation as one of the most notorious emperors in Roman history… He engaged in construction projects to emphasize his power and divine status. He humiliated senators by forcing them into menial tasks or public spectacles.”
Though he initially presented himself as a noble leader, he soon became Rome’s worst emperor. He wielded taxation and reckless spending as weapons of control.
One account records: “Caligula squandered 2.7 billion sesterces in his first year and addressed the deficit by confiscating estates, levying fines, and even imposing the death penalty to seize wealth. He crippled the Roman Senate in the process.”
Freed from opposition, he built an extravagant bridge at Baiae and introduced crippling taxes on everything, taverns, artisans, slaves, food, litigation, weddings, even prostitutes and their pimps. Taxes doubled in just four years, leaving ordinary Romans broken and resentful.
Is this not eerily familiar? In some places in Nigeria today, task force agents harass even mourners transporting corpses. They must pay the State.
Caligula’s Rome is a warning. When opposition disappears, tyranny grows unchecked, and taxation becomes limitless. Nigeria is already on that path.
Read this report: “It was gathered that governors on the shopping list of the APC include the Enugu State governor, Peter Ndubuisi Mbah, Bayelsa State governor, Douye Diri, Plateau State governor, Caleb Muftwang and the Zamfara State governor, Alhaji Dauda Lawal.”
That was how the Nigerian Tribune concluded its lead story on page five of its Monday, August 25, 2025, edition, titled: “Tension grips PDP leaders as APC targets more govs.” Two riders followed: “South-East, South-South, North-Central govs on shopping list” and “Tinubu to receive another PDP gov on arrival.”

An average student of Nigeria’s political history should be deeply troubled by this report. The concern is not just the well-known fact that Nigeria’s political elite rarely show fidelity to principles, loyalty, or decency, but rather the imminent danger this trend poses to the survival of democracy and to the ordinary masses.
We must ask ourselves: what awaits the common man if Nigeria slides into a one-party state? Can the current wielder of power – the architect of this emerging no-opposition order – truly manage such a system? If today, under the pretense of multiparty democracy, impunity has already reached its peak, what happens when there is no one left to challenge those in power?
History warns us that we are about to repeat our mistakes. Nigeria has a peculiar habit of forgetting her sordid past. Some call it resilience; I disagree. What we parade as resilience is actually a battered psyche. Nigerians have been beaten into submission by those who weaponized poverty. With crumbs thrown here and there, leaders get away with political robbery. We have been conquered.
The sages warned us that thunder must not be allowed to strike twice in the same place. Their reasoning was simple: if bad history repeats itself, its second coming will be catastrophic – so tragic that no one will have the words to describe it.
That Nigeria is gradually sliding into a one-party state should raise an alarm. Euphemism has no place here. A one-party Nigeria under President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is an invitation to disaster. The consequences will not stop with the opposition; even those within the president’s inner circle will eventually taste the venom. Tyrants spare no one—not even their favourites. We are headed down that perilous road.
Make no mistake: a one-party state will kill this democracy. It has happened before—not once, but twice. Some of us lived through it, others read about it. Nigeria lost two republics because those in power chose tyranny and crushed opposition.
The First Republic collapsed when the ruling Northern People’s Congress (NPC) attempted to monopolise political power. It formed alliances, coerced defections, and silenced dissent. Opposition leaders were detained on trumped-up charges. Resistance sparked the violent Operation Wetie in Western Nigeria in 1962. By January 15, 1966, the First Republic was dead.
What followed were the January and July 1966 coups, and then a 30-month civil war that consumed over two million lives. Yet we learnt nothing. When the chance came again in 1979, we squandered it.
MORE FROM THE AUTHOR:OPINION: KWAM1, KWAM2’ And Their Holy Water
By mid-1982, the ruling National Party of Nigeria (NPN) had perfected its plan to decimate opposition. It swallowed the PRP in Kano and Kaduna, captured the NPP in old Anambra, and went after the Unity Party of Nigeria (UPN). Oyo and Bendel fell to its onslaught, while only Ondo resisted—and that resistance produced bloodshed. By December 1983, the Second Republic collapsed, swept away by the military coup of Major-General Muhammadu Buhari. For the next 16 years, Nigeria was under the jackboot.
Whichever way we spin it, the truth is clear: the destruction of opposition in both the First and Second Republics laid the foundation for their collapse.
Those who defend the current defections as freedom of association miss the point. We are not disputing that right. What we warn against is the danger of acquiescing while political and economic power concentrate in the hands of one man. As Aesop warned: “Those who voluntarily put power into the hands of a tyrant must not wonder if it be at last turned against themselves.”
Those who think they can collaborate with the ruling party, pledging loyalty in opposition but serving power in secret, should think again. When tyranny consumes a nation, no one is spared. As the proverb goes, when heaven falls, it falls on everyone; the rain has no enemy.
Caligula reigned until his own guards turned on him. Tyranny and rebellion are monozygotic twins. Let today’s plotters of a one-party Nigeria take note.
Steven Levitsky and Daniel Ziblatt, in “How Democracies Die” (2018), explain it best: democracies rarely collapse through external invasion. They are destroyed from within, through the slow erosion of norms and the ambitions of authoritarian leaders. Nigeria is walking that path again.
Chude Jideonwo and Adebola Williams, in How to Win Elections in Africa (2017), observe that political parties in Nigeria are not built on coherent ideology but on opportunism. The APC, they argue, never stood on any deep philosophy; it merely capitalized on the weaknesses of the PDP. That explains why even serving PDP governors are defecting in droves to join it. But what exactly is the attraction? To answer that, let us revisit one of our old moonlight tales.
Long ago, when animals behaved like humans, Ikún, the deaf squirrel, desired to live as long as mortals. It went to a diviner to seek the Oracle’s blessing.
The divination was swift and stern: for Ikún to live long, it must avoid anything sweet that came from the enemy.
Ikún protested. Why should it shun sweet things when everyone knew it delighted in them?
MORE FROM THE AUTHOR:OPINION: Tinubu And His Northern Teachers
The Oracle replied with finality: What is sweet kills faster than anything else.
Ikún left, troubled. It wondered who its enemy could be. The only one that came to mind was the groundnut farmer, whose produce it relished. Resolving to obey the warning, Ikún avoided the groundnut farm.
The farmer soon noticed that Ikún no longer raided his crops. Suspicious, he tried several tricks. He attempted to smoke Ikún out of its burrow, but failed—for as elders say, òrò burúkú kii ká ikún mó’lé (misfortune never meets the squirrel at home). He tried hunting it at night, but that too failed—for ikún kii jé l’óru (the squirrel never ventures out at night).
At last, the farmer set a trap, using ripe banana as bait. The fruit was carefully placed over the blade, waiting to spring at the slightest tug.
Not long after, Ikún wandered by and spotted the banana. Overjoyed, it rushed forward. Banana was a delicacy, and its sweetness irresistible. Ikún took a bite, wagged its tail, and forgot all about the Oracle’s warning. It bit again, wagged its tail, and then tried to carry the whole banana away.
In a flash, the trap snapped. Ikún was caught between the jaws of death. Too late, it realised the truth: the sweet gift from the enemy was a lure to destruction. With its dying breath, it remembered the Oracle’s words.
Our elders, who preserved this tale, summed it up in the saying: ikun ńjẹ ògèdè, ikún ńrè’dí; ikún ò mọ̀ pé ohun tó dùn mà únpa ènìyàn (the squirrel wags its tail while eating banana, not knowing that what is sweet is what kills a man).
And that, precisely, is what the defecting governors are doing today. The banana from the ruling APC is sweet, but beneath its sweetness lies a deadly trap.
