Popular Yoruba movie actor, Jigan Babaoja, has revealed what some people think about disabled people, while also revealing how his uncle gave him different names because of his disabled leg. In a video that was posted on the official Instagram page of Talktob5000, during an interview with Biola Adebayo, he disclosed that he has an uncle who gave him up to 41 nicknames because of his disabled leg. He made it known that some people think that those with disabilities are not intelligent, which is why he decided to keep living his life without trying to please anybody.
In his statement, he said, “In Nigeria, anybody living with disability sees us as people who don’t have anything in their brains, even in the midst of people, they always say we don’t have anything to say. That makes me always keep my intelligence to myself so that I can hear what people are saying about me. I have an uncle who gave me up to 41 nicknames because of my disabled leg. I always answered all the different names they gave me, so at that point they accepted me and decided to let me do my thing.”..……..See More
