Disabled Yet Earned A Bachelor's Degree In Computer Science by Nobody: 5:47am On Sep 05, 2013
When he was two years old,
Stephan Abge lost his legs to
polio. But he did not allow his
disability to prevent him from
getting a degree. Stephan
bagged a Bachelor’s degree in
Computer Science at the Cross

the fees myself, so it was not
so easy for me. At the
university, I had friends who
carried me and helped me in

I could not have been able to
see myself through school.
How did you cope with the
stress of the orientation?

Gone are the days when people capitalise on their challenges and become destitutes and beggars.
Congrats to him though, next thing is to work on his mindset, life is a hustle. Let him run from pity and seek to be the best.

May God lead him
