When people hear about the Deaf, they automatically pick up an image of a haggard-looking person probably begging at the roadside.
Hmmm, This is why a lot of Deaf people are doubted out there. Because they are looking good and not fitting into that picture.
“How can you be Deaf” they Will ask.
Newsflash !!!Deaf people are people who lost their ability to hear either from birth or later in life.
They do not lose the ability to do other things. They only lost the ability to hear spoken words.
They do not lose their good looks and intelligence. Infact they can match their hearing counterpart.
Do you know that besides the “Most Beautiful Girl in Nigeria (MBGN) pageantry” there is also the Most Beautiful Deaf Girl in Nigeria (MBDGN) pageantry?
Beautiful and talented Queen Maria Okese contested and won the first-ever Miss Deaf Nigeria Beauty Pageant.
Though an orphan, Queen Maria is building an inclusive world for Deaf children , Deaf Women & girls and Deaf Boys in Nigeria.
On May 22 – 29th, 2022, she will be crowning another Deaf Queen in Portharcourt, Nigeria. Who will become the 2nd Miss Deaf Girls in Nigeria 2022.
This will make it exactly 22nd year since Miss Deaf World has been going on around the world but Nigeria has never participated.
This is just one of the many ways Deaf people are forgotten in Nigeria.
It is time to have an identity and display our cultural heritage to the world
It is time we fly the Nigerian flag at the world stage.
A Support for this is a support for humanity.
