Amputee Nigerian Lawyer, Oghenewaire Nikoro Makes A Case For Inclusion Following Her Experience At A Nail Salon
A Nigerian lawyer, Oghenewaire Nikoro who had quite an experience at a salon took to social media to subtly make a case for inclusion. When Nikoro who is an amputee at the arm walked into a nail salon to get her nails done, the stylist seemed confused and her reception was unwelcoming, Nikoro noted.
She goes on to say in her post that people often look down on physically challenged people and think they do not deserve to live the kind of life they want for themselves. When that happens, Nikolo says it is your duty to put your foot down and politely insist on what you want.
She wrote:

HILARIOUS DRAMA
Me entering into a hair dressing saloonStylist : Good Afternoon ma
Me: Good afternoon also
Stylist : what service can I render to you today
Me: I want to fix my nails
Stylist : MA??? ( Looking at my hands and still not understanding my request)
Me: Ma, don’t you fix ladies nails here.?
Stylist : yes, we do but….
Me: but what ma?? (In a calm tone) I said I want to fix my nails, something simple and short.
SILENCE as every one in the saloon turned staring at ME.
