Über mich
forbes.comBarely three
years after his graduation, Sampson Nneji, a visually-impaired graduate
of Philosophy, from the University of Nigeria (UNN) is yet to be employed.
He has therefore called on President Muhammadu Buhari to save him from discrimination and provide him with a job in any government establishment.
He also needs at least N2 million to produce a Gospel music he composed.
Nneji, from Umuezeowo, Umunomo, Ehime Mbano Local Council of Imo State,
was born on September 23, 1988. He was not born blind.
He became physical-challenged at the age
of eight, when he was playing a football match with a neighbouring community.
At the time, he was a good goalkeeper. Probably, he may have ascended
to national prominence today, if the accident had not occurred.
According to him, a big shot from his opponent came straight to one of
his eyes, causing instant severe injury that led to partial
blindness. Three years later, precisely in 1996, both eyes were affected.
That began his journey as a blind man. He lost his father at a tender age.
His surviving mother is not doing well.
But determined to succeed, he took a decision not to
beg on the streets. He is today a Bachelor of Arts degree holder from the
University of Nigeria, Nsukka (UNN), and has concluded
his National Youth Service Corps (NYSC). According to him, he is determined to read up to Masters and Doctorate degree,
if he secures a job.

chairperson, Mrs. Amaka May Abiogwu, and others, was sponsored to attend
Apkodim Rehabilitation Centre, Mbaise, Imo State; Central School of the Blind, Afara, Umuahia, Abia State
and later, offered admission to the Department of Philosophy, University of
Nigeria, Nsukka, where he obtained his B.A Philosophy.
