@GhDevMe said:

“The sad thing about mental health in this country is, majority of the people on the streets could have been made better if they were sent to the hospitals. But we have made it to be some spiritual thing, thereby leaving these people to themselves after two or more prayer camps couldn't help. Please, doctors could help, send them there.”

“The woman literally left him there, I guess. Black mind with black mentality. She should have taken him home clean him and take him to psychiatric hospital.”
