We made 2 record this year. . . .

1. Losing to USA's basket ball team with a large margin

2. First African country to win gold in Paralympics powerlifting.

I'm impressed by the latter. Proud to be a Nigerian cool

Good news. What the able bodied men could not do, the disabled man has done it in style, big congratulations Mr.Yakubu Adesokun. Keep it up God will continue to be with you. Who says that disability is dependability? Its high time Nigeria should be participating in the competitions where there are hopes of winning medals and trophies than sending bunch of nincompoops and sex hawkers on jamborees.

You are right my dear. I think it’s time we give these disabled Nigerians the equal status and opportunities in the leadership of this country Nigeria.They have been neglected and relegated a lot while the so called able bodied ones keep on disappointing the country. Able bodied ones couldn’t win even a wooden medal. Even the South African double amputee ran past our able bodied athlete in the recent Olympics.God is punishing Nigeria for discriminating much of his creatures’ .The disabled Nigerians.

They are only physically challenged but not disabled as people wrongly refer to them. Their mind-set is more focused and more prepared to achieve whatever goals they set for themselves.
