The man, who felt uncomfortable after realising he was being recorded, explained that he has prostate issues.

It took the intervention of a bystander to calm Ralph down and direct the elderly man to an appropriate place where he could urinate.

Even after the intervention, Ralph appeared displeased with what had happened and could be heard hurling invectives at the man.

He later stressed the need for collective action in addressing such issues, adding that situations like this do not occur in developed places.

Opoku Bekoe Francis asked:

“If he happens to be your father, will you post this video?”

Ghartey Kojo added:

“Ralph De FellowGhanaian, leave the old man, bro. Prostate is not a joke, and it awaits all of us as men.”

Sarfo Kingsley added:

“Leave the man alone. You will get to your old age and see what will happen to you.”

Kyn Moses stated:

“In every law, there is an exemption. The old man clearly said he has a prostate condition and could not hold it. Most elderly men struggle with this. While you are doing a good job, screen your videos and know what to post.”
