"The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston is the best hospital for cancer patients, Texas. It's ranked as the No. 1 cancer hospital in the entire United States. New Patients Line: 1-877-632-6789. May the will of God be done!"
@QueenAyosinmi commented:
"Have they heard of Jesus Christ. He died and rose again, while He was dead, He went into hades and collected the key of death. He rose after 3 days. The power of His resurrection can heal and raise any dying person. It starts with accepting Jesus as his Lord and Savior. Surest.
@Emerging_line shared a more pointed response:
"Isn't that 'Ogogo'? When we call for good governance where the health and welfare of everyone will be guaranteed, he said no, impunity must persist, Yoruba lokan, Omo eni onishedibebere, tinubu till infinity. Now he's a victim and vulnerable Nigerians are asked for help. May God grant him healing and I hope this serves as a lesson that we are all victims of the society we collaboratively destroy."
