Kayyy: @ sagamite, while you have a point, reality is most of these people using those funds to sponsor themselves abroad for treatment and the waste you call it are doing and would continue to do it as long as the status quo remains, it is the sorry state of our country, nobody is held responsible and they're not answerable to us at the moment (whether you agree with me or not), so if these people enjoy this benefits, how much more people that have shed blood and sweat for nigeria, the example of paul gascoigne in the UK as posted by someone below is a typical example of how you rally round a legend of the country. there was time where gascoinge was in the news for everything bad, neglected, but now he is appearing in the media once in a while after rehabilitation.

i'm also sure you remember maradona's weight issues and how the country rallied around him, and also how boca juniors brought him from no where and placed him in an important position in the club, that is what most people here are refering to.

Jarus: The insanity story was a rumour. He never lost his sense. He only became very religious in his last few years and became detached detached from worldliness,voluntarily gave out properties in charity, joined the ordinary men on the street mosques for prayers etc. Never lost his sense, those were what people, who expected him to be living high society life as an ex-international, saw and interpreted as insanity. He only became overly religious and detached from worldly fancies.

He was clearly not rich, but appeared contented. I know his two-storey building in our hometown, Offa. I guess that's where he will be buried tomorrow.

Sagamite: It is amazing when people form opinions based on ignorance. This neighbour surely is very ignorant to mental health issues.

Yekini’s neighbours disputed claims that he was mad. One of the people who shared fences with him said “if he was mad, he would not go and engage a labourer to cut the grass in front of his compound when it is due, a mad man will not put on his generator to watch European Champions League games and how would a mad man drive a car and go to the stadium to do exercise? Someone who is mad will definitely not be able to coordinate such activities.”

Lord_Reed:
I suppose many mental ill people go about their daily lives driving themselves and taking care of their houses.

Lord_Reed:
BTW how many mentally ill people do you know who died as a result of their mental illness?

texazzpete:

YES! Yes they do!

I beg you, stop airing your ignorance in public. You think the only mental illness is the one exhibited by those men that roam the street and eat garbage?!
