ONCE YOU BECOME DEAF, YOU WILL ALWAYS BE DEAF

When i was growing up, i learnt to accept my flaws (my deafness) and it helped alot because i met alot of people in my life who have always tried to use my flaws to discourage me or stop me from doing what i want in life but guess what, it didn't work a bit. Like they said "once you accept your flaws, nobody can use your flaws to against you".

Accepting your deafness is the first step before anything like going for Cochlear implant or whatever so that when it fails, it wont affect you as i have many cases where Cochlear implants worked for some Deaf people and failed some so its 50/50.

HOW TO PUSH DISABILITY BILL TO PASS INTO LAW!!

This image was culled from CBM & DRAC
I always say that we the Deaf cannot do it alone, we cannot push the Disability bills to pass into law alone, we cannot do it alone at all, we need everyone to join the struggle, we need everyone to  support the cause, i mean we need everyone such as the traditional rulers, religious leader that is when we will be able to make it happen miraculously. How do we do it?? Let us go further!

Society still treat issues with disabilities and persons with disabilities with disdain due to wrong or negative misconceptions they have held for long and festering in the society. Despite contemporary modern times fast paced growth and development, issues with disabilities still takes the back burner in the society why??

Therefore, I want to examine various ways some persons who can help the course and causes of disability, who should be seen as people with the "midas touch", people who can mold opinions and help in immeasurable way to ginger disability to take front burner in the society and most importantly who can help in passing the disability law and change conditions of persons with disabilities for the better.
