So proud of him but his health condition is the problem, let's all help our brother

Papa Yaw

He is not the world’s tallest man though. I feel he has a condition that affects secretion of growth hormones (maybe). Cos he said he wasn’t like that previously. I wish he gets his surgery outside Ghana so he can get the best care possible
