[Glorias desk] I find it quite objectionable that the health status of Mrs Clara Chime, wife of the Enugu State governor, has become a political issue. If anyone is suffering depression and having hallucinations, I believe these are personal issues that should not be celebrated on the pages of newspapers, except the patient so chooses. Our reactions to psychological conditions are fuelled by ignorance and outdated myths. These are conditions that are treatable medically, but many of us are still living in the age when twins were being killed because they were considered strange. Yes, the Governor of Enugu State belongs to the public so to speak, but his wifes ordeal shouldnt make newspapers headlines. This is a personal issue. The press should recognise a personal issue from political, except all the local newspapers want to risk being considered as gossip magazines. I heard Mrs Clara Chimas friend contacted Femi Falana. I will give my take on why his friend should contact Mr Falana later. I believe the press should focus on the development in Enugu State and leave His Excellencys private life alone because the same press will want to know if the Governor is taking care of Madam in the bedroom, if they are stopped now on this necessary family probing. I didnt say anything!
