A Nigerian journalist, Yahaya Taidi, 48 yrs. is being managed for a diagnosis of chronic kidney disease 2nd degree to diabetic neuropathy. Medical consultants in Abuja, Nigeria, where he is being treated at the Zenith Medical and Kidney Centre say the condition can lead to death if a kidney transplant is done soon. Yahaya is undergoing a thrice-weekly haemodialysis at a cost of N105,000 weekly (N420,000 monthly) until he finds sufficient funds to undertake the trip to India where he will undergo a transplant operation to save his life. This will cost N7million (£28,000).
Just like the support of the National Judicial Service Commission, the Supreme Court, and other well-meaning Nigerians in donations, the African Voice lends its voice in appealing to well-meaning individuals and corporate organisations everywhere to donate generously towards the early facilitation of his kidney transplant. He is married to a wife and three children who are indigent on account of managing his illness.
