See his post....
I am Abimbola Kazeem, fondly called "Jigan" , "Cardozo". I wasn't born like this, neither was I involved in an accident. My physical state is a result of medical carelessness a long time ago, as I was given wrong injections for a particular illness. I grew up struggling to do things "normal" people do. I grew up building my esteem.
I didn't let my physical state limit my dreams. I have always wanted to be an actor. I realized I might not get some roles due to my condition, yet I didn't give up, because I was made to understand that there are no small roles. Any actor can make a difference, it depends on perception to duty.
The journey so far has been filled with a lot of experiences- some people failed to show support, while the support of some isn't as genuine as it should be. God has been my pillar.
Gradually, I have grown to join the league of film producers, with the support of God and some distinguished individuals.
In few days, my movie #BOLOWOYOKUN shall be showing on Libra TV, while #Asiyan and #BabaOja would hit your screens in few weeks.
I am where I am today, because I didn't give up.
I am where I am today, because I didn't look down on myself.
I implore you all to show me love and support on my movie projects. When it begins to show online, kindly watch it, tell friends about it. It's the best support you could give me at this stage of my life.
