DID YOU KNOW? SEPTEMBER IS SIGN LANGUAGE AWARENESS MONTH

September is a time to recognise the importance of sign language and the role it plays in communication and inclusion for Deaf and hard-of-hearing people.

Sign language is more than a way to communicate. It is a language that connects people, expresses identity and helps create greater access to everyday life.

And this September, there is something important happening in Nigeria that we want you to know about.

The Nigerian Sign Language Convention 2.0 and the 36th Annual General Meeting of the Nigeria National Association of the Deaf (NNAD) will take place from 20–24 September 2026.

It will bring attention to conversations around Nigerian Sign Language, the Deaf community and issues that matter.

BEYOND DISABILITY WEDNESDAY

What if the very thing you think is holding you back could become the reason you push forward?

Today, we are featuring Mr. Frank Dumbiri Eboh, a journalist and professional copy/book editor, whose story reminds us that disability does not have to be the end of the road.

His message is simple but powerful:

“If you have a disability, don't let it limit you. Instead, let it be your stepping stone.”

Those words carry a lesson for all of us.

The journey may not always be easy. There may be barriers, doubts and people who underestimate what you can do. But your disability does not erase your talent, dreams, intelligence or potential.

Mr. Frank's story is a reminder that you can keep moving, keep building and keep becoming.

You are not defined by what others think you cannot do.

Sometimes, what feels like an obstacle can become the very thing that pushes you to discover your strength and create your own path.

Thank you, Mr. Frank Dumbiri Eboh, for sharing this powerful reminder with us.

Beyond Disability is about seeing the person, the potential, the journey and the possibilities.

THESEABILITIES OPPORTUNITIES

Looking for employment opportunities as a person with a disability?

Here is something you should know.

The NCPWD Inclusive Employment Portal was created to connect persons with disabilities with employers and job opportunities across Nigeria.

Through the platform, eligible applicants can:

✓ Register as a job seeker
✓ Upload relevant documents
✓ Search for available jobs
✓ Track their applications

Finding inclusive employment opportunities can be challenging, which is why platforms created specifically to connect persons with disabilities and inclusive employers are important.

If you are a person with a disability currently seeking employment, this may be a useful platform to explore.

Please share this with someone who may need it.

Follow Theseabilities Foundation for more opportunities, including jobs, training, scholarships and programmes relevant to persons with disabilities.

DISABILITY IS NOT CONTAGIOUS. SO WHY ARE WE AFRAID?

In this video, Mr. Ayodele Awobona, Community Ambassador and Advisory Board Member of Theseabilities Foundation, shares a message we really need to hear.

Having a disability doesn't mean someone is incapable.

It doesn't mean you should avoid them, feel sorry for them, or decide what they can or cannot do before you even get to know them.

Give people a chance.

Give them the opportunity to show you what they can do instead of judging them by what you think they can't do.

Disability is not a limitation on a person's dreams, abilities or potential.

Take a moment to watch the video and hear his message.

And if you have a friend, brother, sister, child, parent or loved one living with a disability, share this with them too.

Follow Theseabilities Foundation for more real conversations, stories and messages around disability and inclusion.
