Are they envisaging a mass leg breakage? i dont get this!

That money would have gone a long way in bringing our orthopedic hospitals up-to-date.
We always put the cart before the horse.

Thank you Japan. People with disabilities would benefit a little bit from this. But on the other hand why are people with disabilities treated with disdain in Nigeria? Are they not Nigerians? Nigerians need to do some soul searching. Seriously

Nigeria has no provision for wheel chairs on our road.
