Believe me, for whole day, I was restless. I called her more than 10times. Painfully, he phone number was not going through.
It is only a healthy wo/man that can think properly, only a healthy wo/man can secure us, only a healthy wo/man can teach, educate, engage in sports and many other activities. But, in Nigeria. Our government is yet to make HEALTH a national priority.
