It's good the plight of former Governor of Nasarawa State, Mallam Tanko Al-Makura, over his aspiration for his party's chairmanship position as a hearing impaired person is bringing this topic to the fore.
If a two term ex-governor, and currently a serving senator could be facing alleged discrimination in his party because of his disability, we can imagine what the common man with a disability faces in eking out a living for himself. I know this from personal experience as a sufferer of Profound Sensorineural Hearing Loss due to Sickle Cell Disorder. Getting anything achieved has been tortuous as a result, but not impossible. I wouldn't bore you now with details. My book will do the needful in due course. I can only but Thank God for the strong-will to keep going.
