Wow! The best place to invest should be your country if not because of greed and the notion some people have about investing abroad, if these assets or investments were in Nigeria it would have ripple effect on the entire economy even the owners are deceased."
Okorie Chukwuka Justice also said:
"This is an organized country. Look at the way they are calling the relatives to come and claim or have a fair share of the property while some people are fighting Igbos to leave their property in Lagos. Nigeria is a big scam."
Nneoma Benise Igbere
"That is the result of greed, selfishness and wickedness of most humans who chose to eat alone. A lot of them have poor and wretched family members who needed their help and all you keep hearing is things are hard over there."
Okibe Daniel Joyce
"Wow! That's very kind of the UK government. We commend and appreciate them whenever they do any good thing and equally do the opposite when they do bad things."
Nwagbara Anurika Happiness
"I honestly feel that the list is not complete. I am looking for my mother's father brother uncle's name that left Nigeria to UK since 1990. I need help. Tell the UK government to release the other list."
Ogechukwu Udenweze
"Hmm! This is a big lesson for people who keeps secrets! Only God knows how much is in their bank accounts over there and relatives are languishing in poverty."
Israel Elube
"My father's brother went to UK about 20 years ago. His name must be on the list."
Organ Harvesting: UK speaks on 'possible immunity' for Ekweremadu
Meanwhile, on Tuesday, August 16, the British High Commission said it won’t comment on the alleged organ harvesting case involving Ekweremadu and his wife, Beatrice.
When asked about the possible immunity for Ekweremadu and the probability of a transfer of the case from the Central Criminal Court in the United Kingdom to Nigeria, the Head of Political Section at the British High Commission in Abuja, Aneesah Islam, stated:
“The British Government and therefore, in this instance, the British High Commission in Abuja do not comment on ongoing legal matters.”
