Nollywood actor Jigan Babaoja spoke about the benefits of being disabled in America compared to Nigeria, as he shared a video of a woman pushing him in a wheelchair upon his arrival in the United States.
He mentioned how the Nigerian mentality of rejecting pity still affects him, while in America he has never seen a disabled person like himself walking alone without assistance.
Jigan Babaoja said: “The real advantage of disability in another part of the world 🌎, since I have been traveling up and down , they gave me option of getting a wheelchair cos of my leg, but Nigeria mentality of not wanting anyone to pity me hasn’t left my head ! Since I have been going around in the USA 🇺🇸 I have never see anyone like me walking by themself without someone pushing them !
