Media Action for Minority Inclusion

"No welfare programme exists in Nigeria to fund specialised services. The entire financial burden falls on parents — and the poorest families carry the heaviest weight."

"Many of the so-called 'mad' people on Nigerian streets are autism sufferers who were neither diagnosed nor treated." — Autism Around the Globe @NcpwdOfficial @JonapwdNg @officiallasoda @DisabRightsFund @MAMI_Inclusion

"The greater cost is not in providing services. It is the loss of harnessing the potential of individuals with autism due to inaction and neglect." — Journal of Clinical Sciences, Nigeria

A baby born in the morning is called Monica, A baby born in the evening is called Evelyn, A baby born on the floor is called Florence… What do we call a baby born in a car? 🚗👶 $700 prize for the correct answer. 🏆

Across Nigeria, digital and #SocialProtection systems are expanding rapidly. But when #accessibility is not considered at the design stage, persons with disabilities are left outside the room, waiting to be included in decisions that directly affect them. jonapwdng.org/digital-inclus…

Disability is not a show stopper after all.

Deaf Nigerians don’t need sympathy. They demand: ✅ Justice ✅ Equity ✅ The right to participate fully as citizens. A truly inclusive Nigeria won’t be complete until the deaf community is heard. #DeafAwarenessWeek @NcpwdOfficial @NGRSenate @HouseNGR

It's World Contraceptives Day, but in Nigeria, Deaf women are denied their SRH rights due to communication barriers at public health centres. No thanks to a health policy which fails to recognise sign language as an axis of equality and access. @followlasg @JonapwdNg @GDIHub

@NcpwdOfficial @JonapwdNg But silence is not destiny. Nigeria has the Discrimination Against Persons with Disabilities Act. What’s missing? 👉 Enforcement 👉 Commitment 👉 Accessibility in schools, workplaces & public institutions. #InclusionMatters #Accessibility @JonapwdNg @NcpwdOfficial

It’s #DeafAwarenessWeek. In Nigeria, millions of deaf citizens remain shut out of education, work, healthcare & governance—not for lack of ability, but because society refuses to listen. #Inclusion @NcpwdOfficial @JonapwdNg @AdepoetEditor @DisabRightsFund

@BashirAhmaad He is the only public officer who truly understands what disability inclusion means indeed. HE Ambode has the votes of all disabled Lagosians come 2027.

Former Lagos State Governor, Akinwunmi Ambode, has declared his intention to contest the 2027 governorship election in Lagos?

@AkinwunmiAmbode As a blind journalist who saw what you did for PWDs in your first term, please note the crowd can't wait to vote you back to Alausa in 2027.

As we look toward the 2027 general elections, I remain steadfast in my commitment to supporting President Tinubu’s re-election. I am confident that, with another four years, Nigerians will have more reasons to celebrate our collective progress. My dedication to his vision and aspirations for our nation remains unwavering.

This policy neglect that leaves children with albinism stranded in Nigeria violate the Child Rights act in many ways.

Peter Obi and his wrong examples Peter Obi, the aspiring presidential candidate of the fledgling opposition party, must have flunked history in school. In justifying his so-called ‘sacrosanct’ pledge to serve only one term of four years, he cited Abraham Lincoln, JFK, and Nelson Mandela as leaders he wanted to emulate. A simple fact check by a politician who always challenges his gullible and unthinking mob to verify his statements would have revealed that he quoted the wrong examples. Obi would have found that Lincoln, at the time he was assassinated, had finished his first term, had won re-election, and had been sworn in for a second term. Lincoln began his first term on March 4, 1861. He won re-election on November 8, 1864, and was sworn in on March 4, 1865, before his assassination on April 15, 1865. John F. Kennedy, who shared a similar tragic fate with Lincoln, came into office on 20 January 1960 as the 35th President of the United States. He was assassinated on November 22, 1963, before the expiration of his first term. Nelson Mandela served as the first president of South Africa from 1994 to 1999. He declined a run for a second term on account of his age. Mandela, at the end of his first term as president, was 81 years old. He decided to retire from politics rather than contest for another five-year term. Mandela’s example might be more appropriately recommended to Obi’s rival for the opposition ticket, who will turn 81 by 2027.
