Deaf people all over the world are making positive contributions to their country's Nigeria inclusive. We have deaf teachers, doctors, administrators, footballers etc.
I understand the deaf in Nigeria the "giant in Africa" use the ASL (American Sign Language) to communicate. It may be time to teach the basics of this language to uniformed officials like the police and the army (even though I do not understand what army people do stopping traffic) and others so that they can communicate with the deaf!!
Some time back, I think the University of Ibadan has an intake for deaf people to study various courses. It is a good skill to have - being able to communicate with the deaf and easy to learn once you put your mind to it..
