Gosh, this is so sad and inhuman. So the minute you encounter some misfortune, everyone around you disses you. And why's he not in wheelchair? Smh

Instead of asking why he is not in wheelchair, may I ask you why don't you buy one for him?

Instead of asking why he is not in wheelchair, may I ask you why don't you buy one for him?

I have sympathy for the sick man, but let me remind you that in Ghana, you'll get at least 3 million people who are in the same situation.

The problem is that since Ghana hasn't got any effective medicare, we shall read of such cases very often because no gov't can adopt all such people and care for them.

Therefore, people must be educated to think seriously about private health insurance, pension and also old age.

STUPID or Fabricated sympathy? There thousands of Ghanaians and West Africans roaming the streets of Accra with all sorts of personal issues. Government agencies need to function appropriately to curb these inhuman, disgraceful and sub-human conditions.

I have seen worse through the streets of Accra. And sorry to say but we Africans are caught between Civilized Humans and Wild Animals Behavior. About a year ago, I saw a man(human) roaming the streets of Teshie/Nungua on all fours. And I mean the man was crawling like a chimp and people were going about their business around him. And I also recognized that he was a familiar sight, eating off the ground and gutter. To all of you fakers, nobody feels sorry nor sympathy for their fellow Ghanaian unless they have to gain something. Even a free pass to heaven "nonexistent"!

I think he has had a stroke and needs medical attention. The sudden fall, slurred speech, paralysis..I am more than confident in diagnosing a stroke.
