Andrew, You have done well contacting the family. We have all agreed to help out but must be properly coordinated to achieve this goal. I do not agree with individuals paying into the daughters account. That will not achieve the desired goal. I suggest we raise money through the various group in Jos, Lagos, Portharcourt, Abuja, USA, UK. Then send a team of persons to see him and hand out the contributions. Lets get more people in this loop so they can contribute. You have not said anything about the prescription Ikenna Mbanefo requested for. I suggest we send email addresses of more commandoes who cannot read this mails to Adam John so he can put them in the loop. Cheers keep the flag flying. Call me on 08033403662 so we can discuss the strategy.
