Julie Okah-Donli, Director-General, National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons, Abuja: I read the article titled as above last Thursday where the writer, Abimbola Adelakun, said there was no such thing as rituals for money. I align myself with this position and concur. I have always said this and will continue to say that it’s high time all security agencies came together to have a joint investigation and operation.
I believe organ harvesting is taking place big time and people are getting away with murder. We need to investigate where the (severed) head of the murdered LASU student was taken to. Who received the body parts and who are the end users?
That guy was paid some money, so surely whoever is paying is receiving money for that head from someone. Who is that someone? What is it being used for?
We must lift the veil and find out those behind organ harvesting as it is a huge cartel and we must burst it.
This is a major assignment for NAPTIP in collaboration with other law enforcement agencies in 2020.
Be warned, organ buyers, sellers and harvesters!
Emmanuel Nwazue, MCL Television, Umuahia, Abia State: I read Abimbola Adelaku’s piece on the above subject, last week, and I totally agree with her. Our society, just like the writer pointed out, is one that has its foundations laid in myths and illusions that have stood the test of time and somehow made worse by religion so much so that not even the so-called education in Africa and particularly Nigeria is able to erase such bogus claims as the ‘money rituals’ that have often resulted in tragic waste of innocent lives.
Just as we have stepped into the Day 6 of the New Year, so many prayers and pronouncements were made in different churches and other places of worship on the popular “31st night” preceding the New Year’s Day. I bet you that these were not done without the mention of the almighty ‘unmerited favour’ which has year in year out pushed people into remaining idle and docile – waiting for some money they never worked for.
The year 2019 was rife with alleged cases of ladies deprived of their underwears on gunpoints by individuals who either graduated from our different ‘citadels’ of learning or are still students or just school dropouts who ventured into what we have all come to know in its superlatives as ‘Yahoo Yahoo’, ‘Yahoo Plus’ or even ‘Yahoo Extra’. It is striking how such crime as Internet fraud, a product of ICT, has adorned a whole new attire of fetishism just for its adherents to propitiate money. With this, education, particularly in this country, is on trial; the same with the religious bodies, and until the authorities in these areas especially from the pulpit, begin to de-emphasise money and unmerited favour, there is little you and I can do to debunk the fact that there is nothing like money rituals.
