Nollywood Star, Jigan Babaoja Educates His Little Daughter About His Disability For The Right Reasons
Popular Yoruba movie star, Abimbola Kazeem, popularly known as Jigan Babaoja, is already teaching his children what living with disability feels like.
The actor, who has been made a meme on social media over his disability, shared a video on his Instagram page, where he explained his disability to his little daughter.
Revealing why he chose to explain his situation to her, the 41-year-old father of two stated that it is to help his children fight the trauma it can cause them later.
He further noted that his daughter is no longer a baby, hence, the need to understand his situation to prevent her from being trolled or bullied by her friends or classmates.
The Nigerian entertainer told his daughter to tell her friends that the reason why he walks funnily is because it’s his trademark.
He captioned the video with,
“Helping them to fight the trauma it can cause for them while growing up!”.
In his words:
“You are no longer a baby, let me give you this story before you come across it. In case, your classmates or your friends in school are asking you ‘Why is your daddy working like that?, Why is your daddy doing Tamurege? Tell them that’s your daddy’s logo. Tell them that the Tamurege is what is bringing money for my daddy.”
Last year, in honor of his 40th birthday, Jigan had spoken out about his disability. Stripping to his underwear to show off his body, he stated that this is what life feels like living with a disability for the past 40 years.
He stated that his post was to inspire everyone living with a disability. To him, disability isn’t the end of one’s journey as there is a lot one can achieve no matter who they are.
“This is what I have lived with for the 40th years of my life! I m using this post to inspire everyone living with a disability that this is never the end of our journey, there is a lot you can achieve no matter who you are! Happy 40th birthday to me! Get inspired life is beautiful.”
