This goes to show how immature and myopic some of us are!How can you equate a man with this level of experience and exposure with a medical doctor that has never got an inch of experience simply because he carries a tag"DR"
All these years doctors has been ministers in that ministry,what has been their achievement?
Who is talking about commanding respect here? People will only respect you when they have seen and tasted the stuff you are made of.
