In all the chaos, humans are bearing the brunt as only wildlife seems to be having freedom from human actions that hitherto endangered their lives.
For persons living with disabilities in Nigeria, the lockdown has compounded what to them has been a very difficult life journey largely because the country seems not to have factored in their welfare in the national plan. Unlike in other countries where infrastructure and other facilities are planned for their convenience, the Nigerian environment seems strictly for the ‘able’ bodied.
Many of those living with disabilities depend on families and friends for survival. Some even depend on public solicitation for alms in which case they need to move to such venues to earn a living. The lockdown has impacted on their benefactors and areas of operation. The communities have been lamenting about the hardship resulting from the lockdown largely because they are helpless; being dependent on others increases their vulnerability at this time. Unfortunately, it seems only Lagos State has an agency for the disabled, we wish more states would do so too.
