Can you post links about nigeria? i'm specifically talking about our country. even normal people are experiencing hell here talkless of an individual that has limitations

MrBrownJay1:


bro, sadly, these disable children in Africa are discriminated upon due to the view that SOCIETY has upon these children with disabilities. many parents of such children hide them in shame, but that does not mean that these children should be aborted.

@magnolia

you are talking to a person living with a disability here, i'm also previledge to have access to many around me. i know what this individuals are going through and yes, some attempted/comitted suicide but it many not make the news headlines. but believe me, it's not easy in the disability world.

udoji2021:
It was just a harmless sir, i still believe and stand on it.

udoji2021:
Let me tell you people a story before i sleep. there was a man in my village that married a lady with mental illness, i heard that they advice him him against impregnatin the girl that he did not hear. guess what, he gave birth to four children who are not normal. the man later died and left them. the first son went and marry a girl and have birth to two children again, the second daughter also get married and gave birth too but the husband send her back home due to her behaviour.
now, they use to sleep in one big room. the funny part is that, s*x in that room is free(i mean the guy can sleep with his sister and mother, the last born can sleep with the mother,sister and elder bros wife) for all and the wife and daughter and give birth to 3 more children. unfortunately, all the adults and children in the house are not normal.

this are the things i was preaching against

udoji2021:
yes i was not born with it but later acquired it through sickness.

as for your question, i'm not so much interested in life, infact those that died may be better than me, however i can not kill myself or allow someone to kill me. moreover, i was talking about unborn children or babies who don't know anything and not grown ups like me.

To be frank, the life of a physically challenged person in Nigeria is awful.

It is only lagos that actually tries to accommodate them. New bridges in lagos have a ramp. And commercial facilities are mandated to have disabled restrooms and wheelchair ramps.

And that is not that much. In a country where able bodied people are dragging for jobs, a disabled person has almost no hope

Until remote working and coding I guess. Assuming the resources are available

It’s actually going to be stressful but then if you have the strength and time to take care of a disabled child you can keep the child….. for me, I can’t cope….. I pray to God each day for a complete baby without deformity, it’s better not to have a child than having a disabled baby…. Another mind of mine says, if it comes disabled I would keep it I can’t bring my self to kill an innocent baby…..

udoji2021:

Right to suffer should have been more appropriate here. and there is a difference between LIVING and EXISTING.

Unzerious:

I don't know your Perspective, but Mercy Killing isn't a Solution.

Acidosis:
1. Your campaign is achievable but make sure you have enough money to share around so pregnant women can carryout ultrasound and other investigations to know which child is disabled or not. You'll also need a lot of funds for education as this is a major problem.

2. States like Zamfara and Bayelsa have less than 30% antenatal visits. The national average is about 53%. Mind you, when we talk about antenatal visits, it is mostly about people who visit primary healthcare centers where you can't find a laboratory.

3. Not all disabilities are congenital. Some are a result of highway accident, workplace hazards, polio, etc. What are you going to do about people in this category? Shoot them on sight?

4. My opinion is that the most achievable goal is to build healthcare (antenatal) centres or start a campaign and distribute supplements like zinc to pregnant women to address the risk of congenital diseases. I believe you will make a difference with this. For all forms of disabilities in general, it is completely up to the government to provide an enabling and friendly environment for everyone to thrive.

True. But it calls for a reform. Not death to the disabled.
Btw most disability is acquired after birth. This poster may be disabled but has such an astounding ignorance about the issue of disability.

He’s literally chanting eugenics thinking he’s doing something here. Dangerous topic

cococandy:
Only a relatively few cases of disability are congenital actually.

udoji2021:

This is also true. but my point is; why not try to eliminate this few cases that are congenital and save the parents sufferings and above all, help the child to avoid the pains of life he will experience? i was trying to promote it cos if you look at it well, people with congenital problems are worst than those who acquire these problems later in life. their intervention programs are NOT present in this country i.e when do you hear of an I.E.P conference talkless of placement in africa. bottom line is, this individuals are left to fate and pass through alot from discrimination to the many handicaping conditions they face etc till death

cococandy:
What types of congenital disabilities do you know about?

GloriousGbola:
This thread and eugenics reminded me of Gattaca.

Gonna watch the movie again
