How Does The Government Assist The Disabled In Our Midst by sodiamond: 6:28am On Sep 26, 2018
This has been a concern to me since I met one nice disabled guy that comes to buy things at my shop. He told me sometime last year when I saw him with some disabled fellows that they were trying to form an aasociation so that their voice will be heard. They succeeded in forming the association but up till now nothing has been done to assist them even when they have gone to identify with the Local govt( Ifako Ijaiye). I saw him yesterday night looking so hungry and he told me he was going to see if a customer that owns a restaurant could give him dinner that atleast his wife would take care of his three kids. I assist him from time to time but with how much? After all I still have my family to care for in this tight economy
Pls if you have anywhere or you have heard about where they give support for disabled pls send me a msg I'll comunicate to him.
The major problem is that he shares the little he has with other members of the association who do not have any means of survival. He use to own a Keke napep but sold it when the dad was ill.

They don't. The somewhat lucky ones that got themselves into Cheshire homes have to go out daily to beg to eat as the home is collapsing due to lack of funds.

Nigerians really really need to STOP giving birth indiscriminately. Hard to tell what or biggest wahala is right now ; corruption or population.

Lagos state office for disability affairs. I don't know how helpful they are but they might have empowerment programmes for them.
