Let’s break down the stigma attached to disability one conversation at a time. Join me on the brand new Clubhouse show, ‘Views From Below’ on the @afropolitan network Tuesday, Feb. 16th at 8pm WAT.
Disability never has to mean inability.

Disability is often a stigmatised taboo topic in the Nigerian society. It is misunderstood, misinterpreted and misconstrued. The truth is, one in 10 Nigerians are classified as disabled. Which means, it is quite conceivable that someone you know is disabled.
One of the most frustrating things about being disabled in Nigeria, is everyone believes they have a divine call to heal you.
Everywhere I go, “I command you to get up in the name of Jesus”.
Then that awkward moment of staring at each other.
Why you gon make God look bad?
