My 2017 Experience
.
In 2017 I had many beautiful, good, bad, bitter and Ugly Experiences.
.
I had great fun, beautiful Love, I was Loved and Cared for by family, And Few friends,
I made new friends, bond with lots of friends and had fun with them.
.
Some Friends even stopped calling me on phone when they got married, And when I call them they don't answer my call
.
Some friends turned Frenemies
.
I also lost alot of friends to the wicked hands of death, Some got tired of being my friend and unfriend me, I offended some and they got tired of me, many said am not caring, others said am too busy with my work that I don't have time for friends,
Although few friends stayed with me even when I devoted all my time to my work.
.
I got into touble Severally while trying to solve peoples problems or Save Family members and Friends.
.
I was Cheated Severally, Hurt, Lied to, Disappointed, Back Stabbed by Friends on different occasions, Deceived, those I took bullet for even played with my emotion.
.
I've had to push through even when all odds were against me.
.
I've had to look forward even when my past failure beckoned on me.
.
I’ve put on the winning armour and have fought through.
.
I’ve given to hope when the best option was to give up.
.
I’ve been the strong me over the years and now it’s worth the decision!
I’ve been my own critics and my best of fans.
.
I learnt alot of things in 2017.
.
Like I said in I've seen the Good, the Bad, the Bitter and the Ugly side of Life In 2017.
.
Pls 2018 Be Nice

TO HEARING PEOPLE
This is how you communicate with Deaf and hard of hearing (HoH).
* If you want to talk with a deaf person or HoH at night make sure its in a well‐lit areas that is neither crowded nor dark.
* If you want to get our attention, tap our arm or shoulder or wave your hand. Never yell at our back or throw stones or touch our A**.
* If we are with an interpreter and you want to Speak to us, speak as if the interpreter is not there. Do not ask the interpreter to tell us this or that. Just face us and tell us what you want to say. The interpreter will do his/her work by interpreting whatever you speak or whatever question you ask.
* Maintain eye contact with us when you are speaking, not the interpreter.
* Do not interrupt us when we are signing. Wait until when we're done.
* Do not assume all deaf and hard of hearing (HoH) people read lips. Some can while others can't.
* do not yell while trying to talk. Don't assume that deaf or HoH people can hear you when you shout. Some can while others can't.
* When you yell at our back and we didn't respond, do not assume we are ignoring you. Its because we can't hear.
* Don't think that we need your help, no we don't. And do not force us to learn how to speak.
* Do not ask us stupid questions. For example. How Can deaf people drive? instead ask: can deaf people drive? or how can deaf people fall in love?
* Don't try giving money to a deaf person you see coming to your shop or office. Stop assuming every deaf person or HoH you see come to beg.

WHO IS DISABLED?
YOU OR ME?
If you fail to see the potentials
In the person
But see only the person's Disability
Then who is blind?
YOU!
If you cannot hear
Your brothers cry
And justice
Then who is deaf?
YOU!
If you cannot stand up
For the right
Of all people
Then who is crippled?
YOU!
if you cannot have
The patience
The tolerance
And understanding
For individual differences
Then who is mentally-handicapped?
YOU!
YOUR ATTITUDE TOWARDS
PERSONS WITH DISABILITIES
IS THE BIGGEST
HANDICAP.
CHANGE YOUR ATTITUDE!!!

❕A man rented a house and moved in with his family.
❕After 2 years, the rent was increased from #400,000 to #500,000.
❕He didn't complain because he liked the house.
❕The following year, he couldn't come up with the money and the agent was on his neck.
❕The wife saw what the husband was going through and decided to help. She lent the money to her husband to pay the rent.
❕The husband was indeed very happy that his wife was so helpful and he paid back later.
❕Two years later, the house rent increased to #700,000 and the man became upset. So he begged the agent to introduce him to the landlord so that he could plead with him but the agent bluntly refused.
❕The man decided to do an underground investigation to uncover who the landlord is.
❕What he found out really shocked him 😳
❗The house belonged to his wife.
The question is;
❗What will you do if you were the man⁉
❕❗Be sincere with your comment❔❓

A SPEECH PRESENTED BY MR EROMOSELE KINGSLEY , SECRETARY GENERAL ON BEHALF OF MR OZAH STEPHEN,CHAIRMAN,EDO STATE ASSOCIATION OF THE DEAF DURING A COURTESY VISIT TO THE NIGERIAN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION (DOCTORS HOUSE), BENIN -CITY,EDO STATE ON 23RD MARCH,2017
The President Nigerian Medical Association,Medical Doctors ,Sign Language Interpreters ,my brothers and sisters in the silent world ,ladies and gentlemen ,on behalf of Edo State Deaf Community,we say good morning to you all. We heartily welcome you all to this first ever interactive session between Nigerian Medical Association and Edo Deaf Community.
Your being with us today despite your tight schedule is a great assurance of hope and the willingness of Nigerian Medical Association commitment to partner with us,rub mind together to ease accessibility of health care delivery services for the Deaf people in Edo State.

Our association is registered with Edo State Ministry of Women Affairs &Social development,we are also affiliated to Nigerian National Association of the Deaf(NNAD),National Headquarters and World Federation of the Deaf (WFD). Our slogan all around the world is "NOTHING ABOUT THE DEAF ,WITHOUT THE DEAF FULLY INVOLVES". This slogans gives Government of nations that are UN member countries the right to work with Deaf association in meeting the needs of the Deaf.
As an Association in Edo State,the affairs of the Deaf is directly under our purview and we work in conjunction with our National body and similar organizations
With the sole aim of improving the lives and rights of the Deaf to function effectively in all spheres of life be it in education,employment opportunities,w
elfare,vocational training,advocacy and actualization of Deaf rights among others. One of such organizations is the Association of Sign Language Interpreters of Nigeria(ASLIN)which is registered professional body of all Sign Language Interpreters in Nigeria. It has members drawn from the 36 States of the federation including Federal Capital Territory. It is also affiliated to the Association of Sign Language Interpreters(WASLI)which is the world body. This body is saddled with the responsibility of bridging the gap between Deaf and the hearing world through interpretation. Deafness being a hidden disability is shrouded in mystery and is the most neglected of all clusters of people living with disability.
With the right approach and training,we the Deaf can perform excellently in all spheres of life. The only thing a Deaf person cannot do is to "HEAR".
We humbly appeal to Nigerian Medical Association to partner with us whenever the need arise and to give health talk on"INFERTILITY" during our forth coming MARRIAGE SEMINAR. The date of the seminar will be communicated later,the seminar becomes necessary because of the incidence of high rate of marriage brake up ,violence and battery a result of childlessness and health issues ravaging the Deaf community.
Again,we seize this opportunity to appeal to Nigerian Medical Association to help liase with those in authority to facilitate the employment of Sign Language Interpreters in Government hospitals and during health talk in electronic media . People die as a result of lack of knowledge. There was the case of a Deaf woman who died as a result of drug overdose. This woman was sick but due to ignorance of side effects of drugs and communication constraints,she felt that by taking much of the drugs,she will get well quickly but this was a fatal mistakes that send her to the journey of no return. There was also the case of a Deaf woman that almost separated from her husband until the intervention of an interpreter. She was diagnose to have contacted veneral disease ,she approached many hospitals,her relatives sent her drugs from abroad, when there was no improvement,she thought that her husband might have transmitted the disease to her. It was when an interpreter accompany her to hospital that it was discovered it was menopausal sign. Today she lives happily with her husband.
Once more ,the employment of both skilled and unskilled unemployed Deaf people to help address high unemployment rates and poverty among the Deaf.
Making medical heath care services delivery assessible to the Deaf is a responsibility of us all which can be actualized with the assistance of Sign Language Interpreters.
Once more ,we thank you all immensely for granting us audience.
God bless Nigerian Medical Association,
God bless Edo State Association of the Deaf,
God bless Association of Sign Language Interpreters,
God bless Edo State,
God bless Federal Republic of Nigeria
