Nick Vujicic:The man without limbs
Personality profile
Nick Vujicic
Nicholas James Vujicic the eldest son of Dushka and Boris was born in Melbourne, Australia, on December 4, 1982. The infant, though healthy in all other aspects, was born with autosomal recessive tetra-amelia, a rare condition where the child has no limbs at all, except feet with just two toes.However, instead of letting his disability deter his everyday life, he took it as a challenge, using it to change millions of lives with the same faith that kept him going. As a child of ten, he always wondered why he was different from others, and decided to drown himself since he saw no purpose to his living. However, he stopped himself in time, thinking of his loving parents and how much it would hurt them to see him dead. From then on, there was no looking back for this young man, who now has founded his own organization, called ‘Life Without Limbs’. He has released motivational films, like 'Life's Greater Purpose' and 'Biography of a Determined Man of Faith'. He has also written a book titled 'Life Without Limits: Inspiration for a Ridiculously Good Life'. This speaker has even acted in a short film, ‘The Butterfly Circus’, earning the film three awards, and bagging one himself, for his brilliant portrayal of a man very much like himself, who is given a second chance to love himself. He is a devout Christian, believing that God loves everyone equally, and has taken it upon himself to spread the message to everyone around the world.
When Nick, as he is known, turned seventeen, he started delivering speeches in his church group. He earned a Bachelor's degree in Commerce, specializing in financial planning and accountancy, from the 'Griffith University' in Queensland.As a speaker, he mainly addresses school children, young adults, and working professionals. He has also spoken at various churches, all across the globe, because he believes that Christ loves him as He loves all his children.
In his career, Nick has travelled to more than sixty countries around the world, and has touched the lives of millions of people. In 2005, he established an NGO named 'Life Without Limbs', which has its headquarters in Agoura Hills, California.
Nick is an evangelist who is known for his organization, ‘Life Without Limbs’, that hosts events and presents talks on courage and faith in God to overcome any adversity faced in life.In 2012, Vujicic got married to the love of his life, Kanae Miyahara, and the couple have been blessed with a son, Kiyoshi James.
100 DAYS; The Common Man's Score sheet
"In an unjust society silence is a crime" These were the words of ABU HASHIM that inspired this piece.
It is almost 100 days that President Muhammadu Buhari was elected as Nigeria's President, the person Nigerians think will take us into higher grounds.
The reverse is this case as negligence of federal character in appointments, denying the promises made by him during campaigns and more so being partisan in the fight against corruption has been witnessed during these days.
He has turned Nigeria into a family affair in his recent appointments neglecting the fact that this appointments are meant for the six-geo political zones in order to enhance unity among members of this country. It so surprising that key positions seem reserved for our Northern brothers.
On the fight against corruption, Are the Northerner's saints? If the Southerners cannot get key positions pertaining to appointments, there is great fear that part of the country may not experience development.
Although the President already established it that much won't be done to people who gave him 5% of their votes, it is quite pitiable.
Also, there was also an articulate denial by aides of President Buhari on excellent performance within his 100 days in office, but it was promised by the All Progressives Congress? Intelligently, we should ask, Who is APC? Who was adopted as the presidential candidate of APC? Was he deaf when Mr Lai Mohammed was telling Nigerians? and also, Who did Nigerians "supposedly" vote for on the ballot?
It was also on record that the Vice President, Prof. Osibanjo stated that unemployed youth would be given N5000 stipend.
Who knows what the President will say tomorrow?
Enough of this disappointment and denial, it time for the president to start working on promises and fulfil them, whether it being said by the APC or whatsoever.
Although, What does anyone expect from a government built on deceit and propaganda other than same?
It is quite evident that Mr Muhammadu Buhari and the All Progressives Congress (APC) have played games on the intellect of Nigerians for their personal gains.
Conclusively, I would opine that the President eliminates all forms of partisanship in his fight against corruption since it has been alleged that most of this advisers and inner circle have looted this nation in one form.
