His wife, Peace, lamented that their two children dropped out of school because of their father’s health condition, adding that she finds it difficult to provide even one square meal for them.

“Sometimes I go to my elder sister who is living in Lagos for financial help to enable me manage to feed the children. The burden is too much for me to carry alone. I am trying to see if I can secure a job but it has not been easy.

“Our daughter did not  sit for the WAEC this year. She  dropped out  because there was no money to register for the examination.  The younger one in Junior Secondary School  cannot also continue with his education. We are battling to feed.”

She said both children had been sent to her husband’s village because they could no longer  afford  a house in the town, having spent all their money on  treating the legs.

Nsek pleaded: “I want to start a small business that can fetch me some money to take care of myself and my family.

“I don’t want to sit in the wheelchair to beg. That is why I am calling on good spirited individuals, and the government to come to my assistance.

“Even though my two legs are gone I know I can still make good use of my two hands and earn a living  for myself and I believe there is ability in disability.

“I am making a passionate appeal for help. I will appreciate every little help” Nsek said. If you are moved to assist Nsek you can do so through his account details:
