while I was growing up my father told me
that a cat would never ever sleep on his
back I believed it for a very long time
until very recently about two weeks ago
while I was in aswan egypt i saw a cat
chilling like this you see a few years
ago i met a young lady and then i made
acquaintance with her and then after a
few days of conversation she introduced
me to a fiance it was an albino and i
was shocked and i asked of all the men
in the world why would you choose to get
married to this one and then after that
i called myself back to order and I said
why not and I realized that my initial
thoughts have been triggered by myths
and stereotypes that I grew up with as a
kid we there be no child is the one we
sang just songs that I’m sure some of
you know the songs songs like oh you
were Pepe
if you meet Pepe go yellow bomb on your
bus is now a few Kinte oh it literally
translates as people living with
albinism don’t eat salt they even go as
far as saying that a funeral awesome
which means that they don’t see in the
afternoon and there are a lot more myths
and stereotypes that will grow up with
such a saying that people in albinism
their parents probably committed
adultery with
a foreigner so I leave there on all of
the Smiths there are even extreme ones
in some parts of Africa like Tanzania
some parts of Mozambique where in some
villages people living with albinism or
believed to have body parts that fetch
money in some parts of Kenya they are
referred to as Meza which means money
and let’s bring it back home I read in a
publication and Nigerian publication a
while ago about a village in under state
called Ebola Shura where people leave
you with Albanese it might not welcome
at all so it happens that they believe
in the river goddess called duro who any
time someone living I listen comes into
the city would flood the city o the
village rather and people will be
disturbed until the personally human
organism is killed so I thought to
myself these are stereotypes things that
will leave do it
from childhood it is engraved in our
memories and whether we like it or not
sometimes we just act impulsively based
on all of these things so I decided I
was not gonna join the bandwagon of
people and I just gonna judge and take a
back seat and just believe in
stereotypes and go ahead and judge
people based on that so I decided that I
was going to intentionally become
friends with some people living with
albinism then I started as such and
faith I did and then I met or not anime
introduced me to after I told her my
thoughts and I met it found it
interesting and then she introduced me
to all the friends of us people in
urbanism also and before I knew it I was
in this community of people living
organism I was introduced to there’ll be
no foundation lagos chapter headed by
mrs. Amado maharaja spin a nurse in
right there the last tumor on the right
in Lagos University Teaching Hospital
and then right there I would seat and
then here this people talk talk first
and the issues that are facing society
and in spite of all of this come
together to try and help themselves and
see how they can do things and how they
can be better how they can give
themselves a chance let’s take a look at
Emmanuel Amano’s mother like every other
woman is excited about the opportunity
the possibility of bringing another life
to the world until the day of delivery
and she gives better
amano the day of delivery which happens
to be Christmas Day and then she got a
Christmas surprise by giving birth to a
mono and then she wonders why why would
I give back to a white child she’s black
her husband is black and after some
education and after sensitization she
realized that she had given birth to a
normal child a child as normal as every
other child a mother would laugh in
Monroe could cry the mother could do
everything basically everything that any
other child can do so people ask why do
we will give better realism now people
leave you without believing albinism is
a genetic condition characterized by the
lack of melanin and the human skin and
then two people have to have this gene
in the system for them to be able to
give birth to someone leaving without
finishing and this gene is so recessive
that it can go four generations without
showing up and all of a sudden at one
bath you have an RV no charge so I have
a question could it be possible that any
of us here has the possibility of giving
better an RV no child I do not say this
to scare you but should it matter really
if you give that to someone living with
albinism if we would have the right
attitude towards people even without
this a to of five siblings Abdul Rahman
and Abdul Karim Abdul Rahman is the
first child after Kara in the last child
I named between them they have three
siblings they have my skin color Abdul
Rahman and Abdul Karim just like the
siblings normal children they play the
laugh they do everything that every
other child does as a matter of fact
Abdul Kareem is one of the most happy
children I ever met this is on a man on
a mat is a wife a mother and somebody’s
child
she’s linked with albinism all alive I
had to deal with all of the prejudices
and meats that society believes in but
with the support and love of a family
she has lived beyond it and now she rose
a foundation where she educates people
about the condition and also encourage
people even with albinism that they are
gonna be like that for the entire life
they better stop making something out of
their life this is Dom Lala you see the
Maluku sea is a New York Film School
graduates under Nollywood actor Dom Lola
played a lead role in a Nigerian movie
recently and is living his dreams so
after listening to all of this can
anyone tell me what it is about these
people that is not human does anyone
have a contrary opinion they have dreams
they have goals they have aspirations
they want to become people they ask for
simple things the minimum requirements
alive and that remain requirements of
the right to leave but society has been
so boxed up
that it believes that some things are
some way and then that’s how they’ve
always been and that’s how they’ve
always been so my team and I came
together and with some of the stories
that were made we decided to put up an
exhibition we titled Angels among men
and in this exhibition we exhibited
pictures from the stories that we made
and then it served as a middle point for
people living with albinism and
dark-skinned people like me to come
together to talk so let’s see what is it
that I have believed so much how do I
treat you that you do not like only then
if you realize that a lot of people did
not even know how I asked they’ve been
when they relate with people leaving
with albanism why did we call the
project angels among men a lot of people
asked me and then I told them that
angels among men there was more
offensive people evil are praising
themselves they are not angels they’re
just humans like him but angels among
when other people who would decide to
leave beyond the stereotypical judgments
have been ingrained in them from bad
stereotypes are real we leave in Africa
and stereotypes are like a part of our
culture but would you lean in the box
that the society has placed you in or
would you rather step out of a box and
understand whatever i sees you do not
know about a condition rather than judge
people based on things you know things
you believe things you’ve heard I
believe is not the only case that
stereotypes are sated with or meets are
seated with there are other cases like
dwarfism like Down syndrome sometimes
even patients living with cancer people
living with HIV there’s so many
stereotypes in the world out there but I
encourage every single one of you to
become angel among men angels among men
to move from that point of stereotypes
aware culture escape
in where cultures boxed you in to cross
over so understand that life can be
better and we can give all the people a
chance of life because the minimum
requirements that everyone desires and
everyone wants is the right to life the
right to leave can you imagine how many
myths and stereotypes that you have
believed in all your life all your life
your entire life that deprive people of
basic needs such as the right to life
could it be that because of stereotypes
and myths around and the condition
coochie-coo
a young and promising young man
committed suicide in August 2015 and
test exiting Lakers leave did organism
could it be I encourage everyone
listening to me please be angels among
men move from the point of stereotypes
understand conditions before you judge
and together I believe we can make it
the world a better place be an angel among men thank you
