I heard about a blind farmer in garin-sarki under Lau LG in Taraba state. I decided to go pay him a visit for my personal CDS & probably make a program out of it to encourage others. It's a 32km journey.

Got to a point where I have to board a bike & spent two hours sitting on bike. Arriving garin-sarki, I met Baba in his farm farming rice, I couldn't control the tears rolling down my eyes because I discovered that Baba is not only blind but BLIND, DEAF & DUMB with a paralysed left Hand.

Yes is true, Baba got blind, deaf & dumb at the age of 13. It will amaze u that Baba is a farmer just like any individual who can see, speak & hear. He farm to feed himself & feed 14 children that his deceased brother left behind.

If a blind, deaf & dumb Baba who is 71 years old can still farm rice, corn & maize what then is ur EXCUSE in life as an individual, as a youth, corp member, teen, parent & as a complete human who has healthy eyes, ears & mouth for not achieving what u want to achieve in life?

I want us to take this as a challenge & stop blaming people & situations around u but wake up strong, thank God for creating u & for where u ar, believe in urself, accept whom u ar and tell urself, Yes I can do it. U can achieve that colourful beautiful dream, u can get that level u want to.

Pray, think positive, work hard & u will discover that there's nothing impossible for human to achieve on earth & even in Heaven. be patient & keep pressing harder. Believe that God is there & He loves u, He will see u through. My Dear, u have no excuse in becoming what u want to become in life.

Lalasticlala please move to front page to encourage somebody

This are one of the advantages of NYSC. To help a community or communities where gov don't reach

Op, ur reward is great in Heaven and here on earth. God bless u for bringing out real meaning of NYSC (service to our father land)

Truly, there is no excuse for being idle!

only one person?

And some ediots will come online to beg

If this man couldn't find an excuse to be lazy, there is no excuse for an able-bodied to be lazy. Nice one papa. You are a great source of inspiration. I need to do more! Weldone sir. Help is on the way to lessen the stress.

Cheap s6 edge plus. Check my signature.

And

Only one person with all these disabilities?
Sorry Baba.


God I thank you for my own life o

Imagine

Government should help this man

Great Hope!

Baba, God go bless you and your hustle till He calls you.

Shame on all forms of government at all levels in Nigeria.
A completely paralyzed man is having to fend for himself at age 71.

Iranu.

On the other hand, thank you Sir for being a shining example to all lazy yoots on how NOT to be lazy!

This is courage at its finest! All these disabilities and he's still a breadwinner catering for an astonishing 14 dependants excluding himself! And he still looks fit and healthy. I'm speechless.

It's indeed an inspiration. Nobody can read this and not still be inspired. God bless you sir, abundantly. Your family must be proud of you!!!

Princeofnigeria:
Rubbish why showing us?


Give or help in secret then let our heavenly father reward you openly

angry bird

I'm more interested in the (his) story than the summary. Where's the full transcript? Thanks in advance

This is too much for one person.

Oyindidi:
my mama na ashi Kobo kobo

hahahaha useless fam

This is exactly what NYSC is all about, God bless this corp member

The man try well well

hmmm...nice1

And some miscreants would commit crime and blame poverty.

Honestly, if we had a functional society, this man should be on FG welfare program. I guess people like this are targets of the financial palliatives for young folks which many are bad-mouthing.

How can only one person be blind, deaf and dumb plus paralysed. Na only him disability wan finish?




Logically how does he do what things he does? I'm begging for answers...

my mama na ashi Kobo Kobo my profile on inmessage

you can say that again

Disability seems to be a state of mind

Disability triggers other senses.


But the write up was encouraging.

People with major senses have accepted defeat while some have fallen. Really encouraging.
