Its hard being deaf in nigeria my guys can i see something from you to use it hold body

Dear Nlfpmod, Honorable Seun, and Amiable Mynd44, I implore you guys to please move this important yet hardly discussion topic to frontpage.
I have noticed that when "People Living With Disability" are mentioned, The Blind, The Crippled even Down-syndromes all get the necessary attention. Alas! nothing is said about the Deaf Community!
Even among the disable in Nigeria - maybe due to lack of any visible disadvantages - there is discrimination against the Deaf!
The Government have failed these people, Family/Community have failed some. I don't want Nairaland to fail them too.
Here is a popular thread that made it to Frontpage sometimes ago. Unfortunately, the guy is yet to get the necessary attention!

Olayinka8793:
Thanks

Good one sir,
I will you guys soon when get a whatsapp enable phone.

Thank you @sporaD8 for always checking up on me. i am still following your advice and hoping for the best.

It will be a miracle if this is on front page though, there is so much discrimination in the deaf world that can make some question if we are all human, even people with other disabilities look down on us in a gathering. The government has also failed us greatly so there is no need to complain about individuals. Worst still, the deaf lack cooperation. I just tire for everything but what i no is that, one day one day, everything will end

Can able bodied man ? I mean we are all human and theirs a lot to learn from each other worlds... I'd like to if possible, might find a girlfriend and proceed to better life.

Attend sign language class, you will understand or decode their signs.

Back then I was learning this thing. It's a very lucrative field.

I have forgotten all my sign language gestures. Chaiiiiii.

I am sorry. The group is strictly for the deaf and hearing impaired. itting normal hearing individuals will defeat the purpose for which it was created.

How do dead and dumb people learn English and can type/chat in correct english or that's almost error free?

My bro is deaf and dumb but it's a struggle to understand his written English messages or statements.

I just use to decide it based on the the main keywords he uses
