    I wish this man well but why is this news? Is he more important than the man on the street or my neighbours son or my uncle/nephew/grandfather? People get sick everyday and are hospitalized. If it is because of his status and designation then ayo have some serious problems. Ayo magnify and place significance on a man’s title? Everybody is equal. Ayo get that in ayo head.
