The Lifted Crippled Young man
I saw this man amongst the crowd from the picture of the 1million March for Mr. Peter Obi sometime ago, that image touched my heart, and I was like, why don’t we take this guy off the ground, as a mark of showing the society and the people that we can do it as ordinary Nigerians that wants to see their nation work. I wanted to experiment with it and didn’t want to buy the wheelchair from my personal funds, but drive a public movement that would make it happen. I sent a young lady named Assumpta Okoro, who reached out to me when I asked, ” Can someone get me a video of the guy, she was most helpful on this project to reach out to him despite all her engagements and challenges to get to him again, made a video of him, which we used to kick off this. She was very pivotal and instrumental to this as she followed John up daily and was physically there to understand he’s driven keke before but unable to continue due to his condition, and also noted he sustained this disability many years ago while back home in Adamawa. She was also there (and John was cooperative) to know how much he’s gotten so far and ensure logistics for the wheelchair delivery were successful and executed. Special thanks to her for being so selfless. I want it to be with very minimal ambiguity, and I want funds sent to his account directly.
