Driving around Lagos one of the first things you can’t help but notice are the people who just lay helpless parading the streets. Only mobile with the assistance of skateboards or carted around in wheel barrows. This is how Nigeria treats its disabled citizens; left to fend for themselves. It is a stain on our conscience.
How can a country not have provisions that will help the most vulnerable of our society? How can we claim Nigeria is civilised when you see people clinging onto cars for the littlest of change. Other countries fund programmes for disabled people; anything from housing to enabling them to find suitable employment. Yet Nigeria has forgotten the concept of social responsibility. It is very upsetting; call me overly sensitive, but these are human beings not animals.
