Adenike, Ibadan Polytechnic Student Whose Legs Were Cut Off (photos)


What a touching story!

We came across this story of Adenike, an amputee student of Ibadan Polytechnic as shared by Twitter user, Awa Ti Ibadan. Read her story:

"As a toddler, Adenike's legs began to rot away. At age 5, her two legs were amputated in order to save her life. My friend @ayaworanho3d did a documentary on Adenike's story. It was nominated for the best documentary at the AMVCA 2018.

Despite her state & paucity of funds, she chose to go to school, believing her condition will not stop her from having an education. Today she's a student of the Polytechnic of Ibadan. Adenike is a cheerful girl, always smiling & full of life despite everything.

The current prosthetics which she uses no longer functions. She has outgrown the prosthetics, making it difficult for her to move around without human support.

If you know any organization that supports amputees or foundations that can help provide funds (or prosthetics) PLEASE

Help mention them on this tweet. If you can help make recommendations to individuals that can help Adenike get new prosthetics & a new life again, PLS help.

PS: Adenike did not demand this but my heart really wishes to gives this a shot for her. A new prosthetics for Christmas."

Dr. Philip Emeagwali - Inventor of the World's Fastest Computer

Image
Dr. Philip Emeagwali, who has been called the "Bill Gates of Africa," was born in Nigeria in 1954. Like many African schoolchildren, he dropped out of school at age 14 because his father could not continue paying Emeagwali's school fees. However, his father continued teaching him at home, and everyday Emeagwali performed mental exercises such as solving 100 math problems in one hour. His father taught him until Philip "knew more than he did." Growing up in a country torn by civil war, Emeagwali lived in a building crumbled by rocket shells. He believed his intellect was a way out of the line of fire. So he studied hard and eventually received a scholarship to Oregon State University when he was 17 where he obtained a BS in mathematics. He also earned three other degrees – a Ph.D. in Scientific computing from the University of Michigan and two Masters degrees from George Washington Univ...
