@king_preacher said he didn’t know the rider was deaf until a little girl called his attention to the write-up. As seen in @king_preacher’s video, the write-up read:
“I am deaf, please,
“Touch me when you want to stop.
“Inform others because some may not be educated.
“Thank you!”
Lessons passenger learnt from deaf keke rider
@king_preacher was inspired by the deaf rider’s display and shared what it taught him. His statement in part read:
“…This got me thinking, seeing a man deaf, riding keke would have been the hardest thing to do,but the man found a way to communicate
“– Communication is not all about speaking but your actions too.
“–The man’s mindset is so so unique, cause his mates will rather beg…
“Cause I’ve seen young boys with all sanity in their early 20s begging,I told the boy I won’t give you my 1 naira, you rather choose to beg than work? Then you are abnormal…
“At the end of my journey I paid for the mother and the girls keke money, and the smart girl said brother thank you so much, my mom only had money for 1 seat and it wasn’t up to the amount, you are God sent, at that point it dawned on me that God places us at every point for a particular reason ,and I think I have to start writing these things down…”

Deaf man bags PhD from American varsity
Meanwhile, TheTalk.NG previously reported that a deaf man had graduated with a PhD from an American university.
The deaf man said that while in university, he slept five hours every night and napped for only 20 minutes during the day. During his postgraduate studies, he scrapped napping and maintained the five hours at night for sleep, as he revealed that he always went to bed at 2 a.m.
Nnaemeka said having a vision was very important and dealt with it accordingly. To succeed in school, he decided that if people who were not deaf could read one book ahead of lecturers, he would do 10.
