@tayoburgenland said, “If anyone had the financial means to get him proper medical care, please let them do. No amount of prayers will heal a throat cancer. If they do, we all, as a people, wouldn’t be in the mess we are today.”
@AlawodeMike, said, “I remember his “Jagbagantis” song that he sang about bad governance; That his song “Motherland ” speaks about not abandoning one’s family despite being abroad.”
Meanwhile, another tweep, @ibilemugabe01, listed the factors that can increase the risk of throat cancer, including tobacco use, smoking and chewing tobacco, excessive alcohol use, and viral infections, including human papillomavirus (HPV) and a diet lacking in fruits and vegetables.
