Story Of BILYAMIN A Blind Law Student Of The Better By Far University. by olawoyintolani: 8:44am On Jul 11, 2015 |
Bilamin Babalola became blind when he was struck by a chronic eye disease as a toddler . But , despite his visual impairment , this student of University of Ilorin ( UNILORIN) is determined to become a lawyer . . A sudden loss of sight has aborted many dreams, but to Bilamin Babalola , anyone whose dreams die after losing his or her sight does not have a dream . Although, Bilamin is visually- impaired , he sees beyond his current circumstance and visualises what many of his contemporaries do not see. Bilamin was barely two when he was struck by a chronic eye disease , which rendered him blind . But , he does not want to allow that to limit him. He may be blind , but he visualises being a Senior Advocate of Nigeria ( SAN ) in futre . A tall dream , many would say , considering the rigours of studying law ; but Bilamin is determined to live his dream . To Bilamin, blindness is not a barrier . “ Seeing with two eyes is not a requisite to become a lawyer , but skills , ” he said , adding : “ My inability to see does not pose a challenge so long as I have conviction to do what I want to do . ” With confidence , Bilamin said he has the intellect to achieve his aim . Before his admission into the University of Ilorin ( UNILORIN ) to study law , Bilamin, an indigene of Oyo State, took the Cambridge Advance Level programme at Education Advancement Centre in Ibadan . There, his ability was underrated by his colleagues , who thought he would not do well in his studies . Bilamin left the school as the best graduating student in Arts. He was denied admission severally to study Law because he is physically challenged. “ I was denied admission to study law many times despite my success at the Cambridge Advance Level Examinations . Although some universities complained that they don ’ t have the facilities for training special people like me . However, I remained hopeful that one day, my wishful thinking would gravitate into reality , ” he said. On why he insisted on studying Law , Bilamin said....please read the full story here http://www.olawoyinmustapha..nl/2015/07/blind-student-with-big-dream-story-of.html?m=1

Good for him. I know of 3 blind students in Igbinedion hostel in AAU. One in law. I don't know of the rest. They are roommates. Despite their challenge, they didn't let it pull them down and yet some people will refuse schooling because one of their limb is amputated or for any silly reason. |

GraceInUSA: the message they are passing is that there is ability in disability,, being disabled is not an excuse for not making it. |
