The deaf community in Nigeria is saying that the sign language interpreter at the inauguration of President Mohammed Buhari is fake. They hardly understand him, thereby excluding persons with hearing impairment from participating equally at the inauguration ceremony. Please help the deaf fraternity to draw the attention of APC led government over this issue.

I don't think that's true cos the interpreter sure did a good work. I watched him even though I ain't deaf but I know sign language

Actually i agree with the Op, that guy was just lost in whatever it is he was doing. I knew he was offmark when he started repeating every word PMB said

Hmmm

@hugo with due respect i dont think you really know sign language,and the ethics of interpreting,that message was posted on facebook by the chairman of nigeria national association of deaf,and i had to share it here because my association(association of sign language interpreters of nigeria) acts as an advocate and spokesman of the deaf.the man is unknown to us,and besides he was lost at most time,as he could not sign the words and was busy finger spelling many sentences,which is wrong...knowing signs is different from being a sign language interpreter..this is what happened at the burial of late nelson mandela,and its not the first time its happening here...cheers.

picturr or ah no believe
