Nollywood actor Jigan Babaoja recently shared a heartwarming experience about his time in America as a person with a disability.
In a video he posted, he was warmly received and offered a wheelchair due to his leg condition, a gesture he initially hesitated to accept due to his Nigerian upbringing, which emphasizes self-reliance.
However, he soon came to appreciate the kindness and support he received from strangers in America, a contrast to his experiences in Nigeria.
Jigan observed that people with disabilities in America are often accompanied by assistants or caregivers, highlighting the country’s commitment to accessibility and inclusivity.
Through his personal story, Jigan highlighted the importance of empathy, understanding, and support in creating a more inclusive society for everyone.
