Do we celebrate those who have touched our lives in positive ways or we suck up to those we feel can give us a few 'çoins' and praise them like they have more importance than the Almighty Himself?
Should we have to go this route to drum up support from the public to save the life of an icon like Uncle Yinka who has touched the lives of generations of Nigerians, Young & Old, Home & Abroad, East, North, West or South?Do we celebrate those who have touched our lives in positive ways or we suck up to those we feel can give us a few 'çoins' and praise them like they have more importance than the Almighty Himself?

Its not fair the way we are so self-centered as a people, we only care about ourselves and those close to us and neglect others we perceive as not being beneficial to us. Must something bad happen (God forbid though) before some no good idiots looking for cheap publicity fall over themselves to organise a 'state burial'?
Where are the Banks and their billions (or they no longer have CSR Programmes again)? Where are the Big Boys and Big Girls of this country (and we hear some anonymous Money Miss Road bought a jeep worth mega millions for Miss Ozolua just to impress her)? Where are the Politicians, Governors, Senators and LG Chairmen (or are they busy siphoning our money into their various accounts so they can further oppress us)? Where are the cheap society magazines that only bother to celebrate vanity and half-naked women? Where is the media and what is wrong with devoting a huge space of their media vehicles to drum up awareness about Mr Craigs situation? Where are Nigerians and why are we not making this an issue of national importance?
We have a voice and united, we can do something fast to save the life of this man who still has so much to offer this country. I commend the originators of this group for their noble effort and hope we can all join hands to support them.
May I therefore kindly ask that we sign up at least 1000 people and send a strong petition to the Presidency, the National Assembly, all State Governments, Major Corporate Organizations, Media Houses, Individuals and other useful contacts to do something urgent about the health Uncle Yinka Craig.
