My Dilemma About This Cripple

This is no ordinary cripple...
I had the privilege of studying him for decades...up close...if not personal...

His deformities primarily physical, have had telling mental and social consequences...on his person...and his immediate environment.

He has a global progressive form of muscular dystrophy...

He could walk albeit at turtle speed, during our college days...as we greeted and overtook him on the way to lectures...

He is now confined to a wheel chair...motorized! His worthy toy!

His plight must evoke empathy...even in the stone-hearted...as he crawls "snail-speed" to transfer his wasted frame from his wheel-chair to his office chair or car seat!

He suffers from a depleted ego...
His eroded self esteem is predicated on his physical limitations...

He beams at vainglory and other forms of flattery...

He is bitter at the world...and would not hesitate to squash other humans under his feet...in offense or defense....

He would do anything....just anything...for money...

He thinks his material wealth confers on him a monopoly of wisdom..so he is strongly averse to counsel...

He is much at ease at treachery...at criminality...and all that is at variance with the law!

He is wickedness personified...
He snoops for opportunities to hurt other humans...

He is elated at demobilizing other people especially in financial terms...

He employs auxiliary males in his private hospital to perform major surgical procedures...

His physical disabilities notwithstanding, he poses extreme threat to the lives of Nigerans!

I have a soft spot for him...considering the fact that he is a cripple.

I know I, being in my true elements, would not need external counsel to report him to relevant authorities.

But how does a derobed crippled physician survive?
Those are my sentiments...
What do I do about him?
