What is your reason to give up?

History has experienced most
distinguished success by both
genders in due course of time.

It takes a lot of commitment for a
full bodied man to achieve a feat
like success; meanwhile we have
witnessed so many physically
challenged people who stood out to
level the fame.

we are about to go through
the profiles of people (home/
abroad) with disabilities who rose,
and rising above even the fully
functional people to claim their
desired fame.

1. Cobhams Asuquo:


A Nigerian
producer per excellence, I do not
know how producing music works,
but I am 70% confident the
presence of sight would be very
much needed in the job.

Then if my assertions are true, how
on earth is it possible for a man
who was born blind to outsmart so
many people in same league even
though they are not challenged
physically as him? Cobhams despite
being blind have won so many
awards in the Nigerian
entertainment industry which so
many people with their 2 broad
eyes opened would find it difficult
to beat, he also sings and write
songs, his recent award outside
music promotion includes wining
the best recording in the 2014
headies award ceremony in
Nigeria.


: 2. Hellen Keller


In the history of
education, this woman was the first
ever to merit Bachelors degree in
Arts, Even though she was blind,
she stood by herself and despite her
disabilities, she went on to go for
what she wants and earned her to
be one of the most celebrated
authors in the history of USA.

Think about how easy it would be
for a blind person to succeed in
becoming a professor of Arts, while
thinking about it, I am so glad to
tell you she was also a political
activist which she had the leading
hands in establishing the American
Civil Liberties Union (ACLU).

How great this is? And lest I forget,
did I tell you she was not just blind.
She was also deaf.


3. Vibhas Sen, Head of
Operations at Virtual Snipers,
Mumbai


Vibhas has breakfast, drives to work, help
brands achieve their marketing goals at his
digital agency Virtual Snipers, fences at
Malad, drives back home, relaxes at home,
goes to sleep.

Vibhas has polio in both his lower limbs and
he represents the Indian team in wheelchair
fencing. He juggles work, training & matches
quite efficiently.

For Vibhas, his disability has never affected
his life. His ex-bosses & colleagues love him
and they have always treated him equally, he
says.

“ They all understand & support my sporting
life,
and allow me to be flexible. And I make sure
their trust is not broken with dedication &
passion. They have always looked up to me
with respect & not sympathy ”

4. Don Geo


: This name might not
stand to be heard enough in a
country of so many singers, Don
Geo is a Nigerian rapper who got
his right hand amputated as a
result of an ugly incidence that
happened to him when he was
young.

He never for once lost hope in
chasing his dream of becoming a
rapper despite knowing he would
forever hold microphone with one
hand.

Even though he’s among the most
talented upcoming rappers in the
country.

We have known and seen so many
good and talented people in the
industry as well that gave up music
as a result of one or more
circumstances which is not in any
way comparable to getting
amputated in their parts of the
body.



.5 Stevie Wonder:


So many people can
get acquainted with this name even
though they know little or nothing
about the man behind the name.
I should simply call him American
version of Cobhams, Blind man
with great insights. His name which
has already turned to a lingo in
and outside his country gives him
continuous recognition throughout
the world.

He is a winner of so many awards
and still ruling the music world of
his own.


6.Yinka Ayefele:

A Journalist turned
musician. Yinka Ayefele, OON is a
Nigerian gospel singer who used his
bitter experience to transform his
lifestyle into a very sweet
experience.

He started as a journalist and a
broadcaster on national radio
station before he got an auto crash
which damaged his spinal cord and
confined him to a wheel chair for
over 18 years.

Despite all odds, he stood firm and
followed his friend’s advice to start
a musical career and today he is
one of (if not) the most successful
gospel artistes in the country.
The crippled man is a recipient of
over 200 awards which includes
‘Member Of The Order Of Niger’
awarded by the former president
Jonathan of Nigeria.



What is your excuse for
giving up? Are you going through
some odd moment of life whereby
you are already thinking of giving
up? Stand up to your feet, you are
not physically challenged, and even
if you are, the profiles of these
people should inspire you to say no
to defeat in your life.

No matter how tough the road
seems, there is always a light at the
end of the tunnel.

There is ability in disability!

They found a way when it seems there is no way. Whereas some people will still complain when they almost have it all.
