The Disabled inside the Nigerian Entertainment Industry
The Disabled inside the Nigerian Entertainment Industry
Late Ray Charles had lost his sight on the ages of seven and the younger brother, 2 yrs earlier. The planet he once was saw and basked in its beauty and serenity became dark and misty. In the face of hardship and seemingly insurmountable mountains because he travelled wearily on life's path, he found solace in music which turned into some slack route that late Ray Charles walked upon triumphantly into stardom. Such was the life of the great artiste(though blind), who played the piano with dexterity that "RAY" a biopic movie was released in 2004 starring Jamie Foxx and directed by Taylor Hackford. Our parents would likely use a nostalgic feeling, reliving hit songs including "I have a woman", "Georgia", "Hit the street Jack", and the like with a dozen Grammy awards among others in conjunction with cutting edge achievements recorded in his profile, Ray Charles who given to glory on June 10, 2004 was really a legend.

"This track is so delicious, I go by the way of Cobilicious" was the intro of the rap lyrics Cobhams Asuquo reeled outside in Dekunle Fuji's successful track "No Lele", though many Nigerians were unaware of his 'nil vision state'. His popularity soared amongst the populace while he performed the attractive thought provoking chorus in the song "Lagi Mo" (The top Top MCs) which saw the song striking the primary spot on some Nigerian chart shows. He won the Rap world Awards 2007 for that "producer of the season category", helping the number of statuettes he'd already received. He could be presently among the highly desired producers inside the record companies, making guest appearances on television programmes and reality show (Project Fame West Africa, season 1) combined with solicitation for his services which extends to Corporate bodies, banks (Sky bank's advert using the Akuna matata song)
The icy hands of death almost took away Yinka Ayefele in 1999 as he was in an auto crash. The crash affected his spinal chord and sentenced him to life on a wheel chair. From the fiery trials and also the stop of the pity partying, he was bold enough to place the ordeal behind him, and bursting forth like water from the rock to quench our thirst with refreshing exciting gospel flavour. Fame, fortune, local and international awards have willingly found their way into his life.
The Nigerian music terrain can feature this duo who have succeeded on its stage, but can exactly the same be said of the movie industry. We've seen physically challenged roles (visually impaired/ lame) being carried out by able bodied thespians for the better of their abilities, but perhaps it would be an unexpected to millions of movie viewers for medically proven, disabled visitors to naturally perform such roles used on their able bodied counterparts. Who says there are no talented ones one of them whose acting skills can not be brushed up, in the end its not all A-list thespian studied theatre arts or attended schools that specialized in harnessing such talents.

There are a lot of talented disabled individuals rotting away simply because no-one has dared to provide them the opportunity. In the end the scripts may be transformed into Braille letters so they can read, a minimum of we all know their sense of hearing is hyper functional in contrast to the sight seeing fellow. Quite a number of TV Reality shows have hit the screens these past couple of years (dominantly in the Entertainment sector) with a new one emerging every day, including Gulder Ultimate search, AMBO, Next superstar, The Intern, Maltina Family dance all, Star Quest, Football with Fash, The Twelve Ambassadors, Your government Nigeria, Apprentice Africa, Idols West Africa, Nokia First Chance, Project Fame West Africa.
No reality TV show has been created for your physically challenged probably borne away from anxiety about not securing sponsors (who're focused on making returns for their investments), or anxiety about outright rejection by the teeming viewers. Who says possible show that the physically challenged can function in can not be conceived and birthed, its exactly about ingenuity and who is able to tell whether this type of reality show can function as a best on the list of lot, there is nothing impossible!
