    As a great cancer survivor, prof Nyongo need to enlighten men on this debilitating ailment. He need to write a book about prostate and share his life journey. President Reagan talked about his ailment(Alzheimer’s) and as a result there’s a big breakthrough. Our leaders need to do the same since they are our role models.
