Truly there lies ability in disability. A young man has braved the odds, stigmatisation and his physical disability to earn a living for himself.
The young man, whose identity is still unknown, was captured in pictures shared on Twitter with a digging tool, known as 'digger', in hand just as he supported the remains of his other leg with a waist-high stick.
He appeared to be digging a gutter under the hot sun by the side of a busy road.
Sharing the pictures, @Abdullahi_wolf advised his followers to "be thankful for what you have."
