We were able to raise some money for the little boy, but the people in charge of the cause just sent me really bad news. The money was raised through Kelechi's father's account and what I hear now is that the man squandered the money...all of it!. He has been arrested and currently at Ikoyi Prisons pending when he's able to post N500k bail. The Commissioner of Police signed the petition against him through the PPRO's office. He will be charged to court soon.
I know what y'all are thinking; how's baby Kelechi? He's still sick, he has not been treated...and this makes me so sad. How a father can do this to his own sick child is beyond me. Truly sad. Will keep you guys updated about this case...
Sad!!
ReplyDeleteChinekemee! Unu adikwa sure na isi di nwoka nma? Like u rightly said, how cud a father do such to his child, its a pity.
DeleteStupid MAN! Hw can a father be dis wicked! What did he use d money for eh? Idiot! Money u can't earn! U v eaten! Mtscheeew. Dunno why some fathers ve no paternal affections for their kids, its appaling
DeleteThis will make people reluctant to help via your blog with stories like this. Shame on him
ReplyDeleteLinda read your post again there's an error
ReplyDeleteChief Editor, we are talking of a Lil boy's life here n ur more concern abt a mere typographical error. Mschewww. I guess ur a lady , cos some of u are unusually n unecessarily critical.
DeleteYou started to make a valid point, but you just had to end with a dumbass conclusion. Smh
DeleteU guys r both being unreasonable....drop banters and support the call 2 bail d'father....hehehe
Delete4 real nw, my heart goes out 2 the little baby
'Madam i too know'. Like all ur written n spoken english are perfect. Mtschew.
DeleteAyodele re u well at all? Bail d same father who squandered every penny realised to treat his sick son? Pls get out of here jo!
DeleteAi
And what if there's an error? If u couldn't understand the rest of the story bcos of the error then u must be a dunce. I am a lady and I believe she is a lady too cos I know ladies like her and they are just irritants.
DeleteThis will discourage people from donating...it sad that I went out of my way to donate generously and see what the money was used for. Maybe the father even used part to chase women ...... Chai
ReplyDeleteThis is the same reason I was sceptical to donate for the woman whose husband burnt her with hot iron. The igbos in charge of the money were just too much for one not to be wary. Not like other tribes won't steal; no! Far from it. They might, but they won't take ALL of it. I've seen too many cases of igbos squandering ALL of the money donated for people in need, and I've thus become greatly discouraged to make donations through them. I'd rather contact the individual directly.
DeleteYou are mad 4 mentioning igbos! Punk ass fool..barbie
DeleteI'm igbo and no k wouldn't hv squandered the money cos I couldn't live with myself anyways, I am also sceptical about such donations except i'm certain. Well I actually hate the fact that you said igbo's blah blah blah I think that was wrong and I am yet to come across any tribe within nigeria or anywhere in the world that don't have dubious ppl and also when it has to do with money as we all know money brings out the worst in ppl. Please I urge u to change ur perspective and know that even you could hv done the same. I don't know ur tribe but I beg to differ. However it saddens me that a father would let his foolishness take precedence over his son's health. It really is sad.
DeleteGoodlawd! Dis is jst wrong! Dead wrong! Ow can u do dis 2 ur own child!
ReplyDeleteThat is such a shame. look how gorgeous the babe is. may God take control.

ReplyDeleteWords fail me! Infact, the only thing streaming fast through my head na curse, real conc Ijebu epe but i'll pass and leave the man to God for punishment/redemption.
ReplyDeleteYour own son? I'm sure even Satan himself will be shocked. Heartless bastard!
Some father's has no feeling, while some are weak for their kids, they stand out better than some mum. I pray has parent we will have better understand what how role are to our kids... Linda when are we meeting coko bar 2mrw rite?
ReplyDeleteLinda run far away from this english illiterate.. Well unless u don't mind lol

DeleteThis shouldn't dissuade people from helping the child. That nasty ass father needs a red hot iron up his ass! How cruel can he be?? Too bad!
ReplyDeleteMay that sickness be transferred to him IJN.
ReplyDeleteDr pinch, I kno dis really hurts but trust me if d guy we're 2 go down by dis condition, u wudnt even hav d heart 2 ignore his pain
DeleteThe evil that men do.
ReplyDeleteAm speechless!
ReplyDeleteLinda! I don't believe this. No No No! Kelechi's father did what? Chai! So poor Kelechi's condition has remained same all these months! Squandered it on what biko? This useless father must go to jail. If women are involved, he should be castrated. Please let's do the fundraising again, Linda. Let the police commissioner elect(and personally supervise) another family member to be in charge
ReplyDeleteDon't be stupid mate. Another family what?
DeleteNigeria is a weird country , have u not heard of guys sending money from abroad to familes for a purpose ie buying or building homes, looking after parents, and they chop the money? Also when you ask for ur money, u can get eliminate in the process.
Oh dear,
ReplyDeleteGod is merciful sha. Some kind hearted ppl nid children n dont ve buh God still gave a man lyk this.
We cant question him anyways.
Woww what a pathetic story baby kelechi will be in my prayers
ReplyDeleteU now see why a lot of ppl depise Ndi Igbo! Greed runs in their veins!Lee this man poverty choro igbu kwaa,they raised money to help his child get treatment,onye oshia erie d money! Ojidi Egonileaaa raa Ashawo or what? What did he do with d money? Tufiaakwaa!!
ReplyDeleteAnon 11:18: Away with ur distasteful ethnic jingoism & tribalistic views. They are not welcomed on here. Anyone from any tribe could do this.
DeleteWhy4o serios, take it easy, dis is obviously an igbo person as well n all d person said is its cos of ppl lyk dis dat igbos are stereotypd. C'mon dnt take it d oda way
DeleteSuch Pig of a father! Should be shot!
ReplyDeleteOMG. I've never felt this terrible in a while. My heart bleeds. What manner of a father is this? God, please make another way through LIBers for Kelech and punish this devil of a father
ReplyDeleteOh dear!!! Wat woun't some people do for money! Guess he can't be bothered if the child dies or not. God have mercy!!!
ReplyDeleteUrm Linda, not sure u should be posting this cos its gonna discourage peeps from donating for genuine causes.
ReplyDelete@Eze: Initially thought so too...not sure about that though
DeleteWat Linda did is so ryt. Ppl deserve 2 kno how dia donations we're used n if d life was saved in d long run. As a matter of fact next time more measures will b put in place 2 ensure dat dis donations are used apropriately
DeleteOMG!!!! No way!!! Wot of his mum? Let not our giving spirit be dampened by this cruel act! Pls people let us riseup n com 2 baby Kelechi's aid once again. Yes we can!......says d 9ja spirit! God bless....1 luv!
ReplyDeleteIf U really wanna help then you should do it like dis. Linda,find out the name of the hospital he is going to be getting the treatment in India,pay the cash directly to the account of the hospital and personally purchase the travel tickets then give them little pocket money.that is how we help people in my society in church,society of st vincent de paul in the catholic church. We have sent a few people to India this year and this was how we did it.
ReplyDeleteAm confused! i feel likke i have just read d wrong info, i feel numb, mayb d police dint investigate properly. can we donate again for him pls, with proper info nw pls?
ReplyDeleteWhy are u people surprised...... Okay make I no talk wetin dey my mind. Cus its a common occurence to some people to kill their loved ones for money". My neighbours 6 year old child mr chidi, just died. Very beautiful child. And this man had the money to take his wife and that child to india cus the child had heart problem.. It was later the wife opened up after the child died that her husband preffered putting the money into a business that did not yield anything, now the child is dead. Their only child. The woman has been trying to give birth to another one even before the child died.... The woman dey fear the husband, cus she was brought from the village and when the man married her he had soo much money and cars. He has shut her up wiv money. Now she is stuck, back to the man in question, where is his wife or where was his wife when all this was happening? Why didn't she ask questions? Was she scared? Did he lie to the wife? Hmmmnn
ReplyDelete@ 11:18 PM ode ni o.What does the tribe have to do with anything.People of all ethnic backgrounds have the ability to be dubious.I am yoruba, but pinning his behavior on a tribe is just ridiculous.
ReplyDeletemy money oya, d man should be made to refund my money to me o. Na wa o, some fathers could be senseless o
ReplyDeleteDis man needs 2b jailed! Can u imagin d thieving bastard squanderin money meant 2 save his son's life.. Damn,i mean,ppl can n rily wicked..buh narrowin it down to one's father is jus so saaad.. May God elp dis lil boy
ReplyDeleteMy God! This is so terrible! Like someone said, he actually should be charged with attempted murder. But why wasn't some external body in-charge of how the money was spent? For future stuffs like this, there should be an external body in charge of the money, not even a relative.
ReplyDeletewww.ahdaizy.wordpress.com
The problem now is that people won't be willing to donate anything to the poor boy anymore. Sad.
ReplyDeleteGreedy man,he don use the money buy container nah...he must vomit that money o,where is the mother sef,she suppose bite the hell out of the man
ReplyDeleteHow can a poor man who had never seen such huge sum of money b4 squander such an amount? Could he have put the money in a pot,drilled a hole in d ground and hid it?
ReplyDeleteHe must have had accomplices or did 419 boys discover him and decided to approach him with fake business proposals?
Whatever it is,it is his son Kelechi that is suffering and this man truly deserves to be put away for d rest of his natural life!
So sad.
ReplyDelete4million Naira? What did he buy. Is it food, a brand new car, house, women or really what?
ReplyDeleteLinda i can imagine how u feel.
That is wrong in all sorts of ways; would like to suggest that for such causes, a neutral account is set up which is monitored by at least 3 independent and trustworthy individuals.
ReplyDeleteWhat state is he from?let the social welfare peoople in his state take it from here.he now needs the money more than urgently&it will be extremely difficult to ask people to donate Again....
ReplyDeletei wonder the whore he wasted all that money on. What about lil Kelechi's mom? Alas Charity giving online for me has ended!
ReplyDeletePls don't get tired, just get wiser, in dis case 4 instance if ppl get tired dis innocent cute kid will die 4 nothing. God bless us all.
DeleteI even remember wondering why his father always hid his face behind Kelechis' in the first post. He never showed his face. So he had an ulterior motive?
ReplyDeleteFool of a father,because its easy 4 him 2 have a child,he feels baby kelechi can die cos he can have another,he does not care about his sons life,God will punish him,he should really be dealth with,pls let's rise and donate again just like one of d comment we donate and linda sends d hospital bill 2 d hospital in india ,purchase the ticket and give them pucket moni.
ReplyDeleteSAD. But this won't stop me from donating. Can u get another account 4 us 2 donate into?
ReplyDeleteOMG, dis is unbelievable for A̶̲̥̅ man †̥Ơ put d̶̲̥̅̊ life of his child at stake cos of his greed. He needs Jesus,fresh Jesus d̶̲̥̅̊ one Đα̲̅τ̲̅ JƱ$† came out of d̶̲̥̅̊ grave.
ReplyDeleteGod visit that...dis cute lad doesn't deserve dis state one bit. *sigh*
ReplyDeleteThis is why I avoid responding to requests for donations- this sort of thing has been going on for years- it is very disheartening- to think of a man stealing his own child's future? and you wonder why politicians don't care about the nation?
ReplyDeleteDamn it!!!some people ª̳͡rε̲̣̣̣ wicked sha!!!His own son #SAD#
ReplyDeletePls find another way to raise the money, maybe thru the mothers account. And pls inform us so that we can donate to help this precious child.
ReplyDeleteAll his fathers organs will start failing nd den he will die in dat prison! Pls how can we donate †o this child again?
ReplyDeleteA big shame...so how do we prevent this in the future?
ReplyDelete-Linda are there reputable NGOs we can partner with in the future? Money sent to them and they'll make the payout?
Is there a possibility of starting LindaIkeji foundation? People pay the money to ur account and you make the payout?
We know the father is an animal, but let's talk about how to prevent this from happening again.
gosh!! dat man is evil. what d heck? he shud b nailed 2 d cross and allowed 2 rot there. c d cute baby na. chai!
ReplyDeleteM not surprised...he is a nigerian
ReplyDeleteU are not surprised he is Nigerian? No u are not surprised cos u are retarded. Mtschewwwww.
DeleteHaba people are wicked just like the other father that stuffed his boy into a suitcase..There should be a designated business account..but then who should be the sole signatory??With this Njas home and abroad who are already paranoid are bound to react..and might be a negative one..
ReplyDeleteThis brings back memories before online banking when people abroad sent money home to execute projects found out the money had been spent by their relatives who even planned to kill them when back in 9ja to see the projects..
poor kelechi tho!!..can we blame Jona for this..HELL NO!!
Just looking @ ths lil boy's pic makes me want to cry. How some1 can be so inhumane not to talk of d person bn d boy's father.
ReplyDeletePls people don't hesitate to always help o, not minding ths kind of evil. Giving opens doors for u, u don't know wen u or ur loved ones might need help too
Ms Bee even NGOs embezzle money. Can't a bank be responsible for such funds and then the bank will pay the hospital directly. Just thinking out of the box.
ReplyDelete@Thatgirl
ReplyDeleteHope u weren't referring to me..about Jona not to blame..hope I'm wrong..but if not..
Lack of well run facilitated hospitals were there no thanks to his predecessors..
State Govt responsibility to establish well run State hospitals..
All factors taken onboard..he was given money clearly to help his son get treatment..
Personal responsiblity..we lack that in 9ja..can't blame the non functioning Govt for our own personal bad decisions!!
God punish u. It is this same nigerian that still wants to donate after hearing wht kelechi's father did. Atleast we are nigerian's, so mr anonymous who are u? Goat. Beauty ph

ReplyDeleteovoko
ReplyDeleteNo word, he will never find peace
ReplyDeleteHummmm na wa ooo where d mother dey?
ReplyDeleteThis just says how wicked the heart of man is.... Strangers helped to keep the boy alive, but the so called 'father' who should be called a 'beast' chopped the money.... I pray this cute kid doesn't die!! #Sadmuch
ReplyDeleteMy heart goes out to this little boy. God pls take control....
ReplyDeleteGrovespot.blogspot.com will tell u more about the Christian faith.
Behind every action is a triggering force mostly unseen!!! He may have squandered the cash but we need to look beyond his actions to why and how cos no true father in his right frame of mind would do such to his own blood! Himself apparently! It could be any of us when we find ourself in his circumstance as well. Cheers
ReplyDelete9ja my people! Pls let's not be weary in doing good. Remember it is the boy's future we are investing on. Let's donate into Linda's account and help the poor lad. Thank u. God bess u.
ReplyDeletei blame d ppl wey cary d money giv dat greedy maga..let God judge sha..
ReplyDeletei blame d ppl wey cary d money giv dat greedy maga..let God judge sha..kudoz linda..u r doin a 9c job jareh
ReplyDeleteFeeling so A-N-G-R-Y right now!
ReplyDeleteMaybe he is hoping for the boy to leave this world, then he used the money to finance a business. 4mila, just like that!
Pray this does not discourage people from donating in future.
my daughter has spinal bifida and the docs here tell me she wil never walk but l hear it can be corrected in india and we dnt have the kind of moni they are asking for,l dont even knw how to go abt raising such a huge sum of moni and yet some1 was able to do it for his child and then squandered it all,am so enraged right now linda ,l just cant stop crying for the boy,
ReplyDeleteKai,,,,d man is so mean....if he had his way he could have killed the child so that no one questions him about d spending of the money.......he never deserved to be a father!!!
ReplyDeleteAnd what was it all for. A few sips to the mouth, a few nice dishes to eat, a few new pieces of clothing to wear and a very brief moment to parade and pretend. Now in a few months where is he? In jail, being eaten by mosquitos and rats. I hope he never gets out and enjoy his stay at his new place of residence. What a difference a few months make.
ReplyDeleteI know in my heart that this little angel will get the care he needs. The mother could seek assistance through an NGO, or a children charity.
Whick kind thin you dey talk
ReplyDeleteThis is why people don't help. Isn't this man just stupid? If the lil boy dies, his blood will be on his father's head. Rubbish!
ReplyDeletei dunno y but i kind ahad a feeling this wuld happen. wish they had paid directly to the hosp. or to the mother...just so irresponsible.
ReplyDeleteAH, dis is so sad. Fine baby kelechi. Linda pls how do we dnate again? Dont mind that big headed anonymous cow.
ReplyDeletelINDA YOU DID NOT POST MY COMMENT? Ok linda post my comment and your birthday pix now.*crying*
ReplyDeleteSo that bastard ate my 10k
