He is a professor at a college and should have money and insurance. Why should we contribute? There are millions of Togo people every day facing life issue.

First of all he is not a Professor. He is a lecturer with a PhD. They are not forcing anyone to contribute, Read well the article, the guy had a coverage that will expire soon. If you live in US or another develop country you will understand the situation.
