I am Moses from Nigeria. Here is my disability story: I am Moses Gonsi, born on the 3rd of April, 1973. I come from Lowe Town in Gokana, a local government area of Rivers state, Nigeria. Born deformed, I was put in a basket and abandoned in a place called the Forbidden Forest in my village by my father, who was amongst the people that stood strong in ensuring that an age-long tradition of killing deformed and twin babies was respected. So I was kept in the forest where ants moved around the basket but the mystery was that they never got inside. I was exposed to the harsh conditions of the weather and other things for several days but remained alive and unhurt until I was picked up by a hunter.
