So I just sat in a BRT bus partly filled with Pupils from #Ikejajuniorhighschool Yesterday .
They all stood (standing) there were two woman acting up cos they were around them. Dyu know why? They were Deaf some of them Both D & D and they were all trying to make.....

Conversation the only best way they knew how to!- Gesticulation, facial expressions and sign language. Most of them smiling and exclamating as they communicated!
I was surprised at first when they boarded cos they were too silent for Secondary school pupils. #Solohtolz

One of them had a smartphone and as a pack they all shared using it in turns.
I kept watching and trying to understand whatever they were all talking about! Each of them with different discussion group.
At some point, I smiled and laughed silently along with their discussion.

Imagine making a conversation in silence, or discussing and joking in silence. I kept on pondering.
Are they to be blamed for their unfortunate disability!? Why are they treated any differently!? Or like they aint’t just like us?. #Solohtolz

Like it’s always said that we are responsible for whichever way we treat our fellow humans! It stabbed my feelings & heart the way I knew people would treat them generally in public. I was so full of pity.
I imagined taking shots or document the moment the whole time...But...

So i'm just concerned and inquisitive! Are there any body set up to solicit, fight and take care of the #Deaf In Nigeria.?! Cos we have #ASL and #BSL (American /British) SignLanguage & the communities in each country have alot ongoing for these class of people. But #Nigeria?!🚶🏾‍♂️
