Love And Respect People Living With Albinism.

Albinism in humans is a congenital disorder characterized by the complete or partial absence of pigment in the skin, hair and eyes. Albinism is associated with a number of vision defects, such as photophobia,
nystagmus, and amblyopia.(Wikipedia). 

Albinism is a rare group of genetic disorders that cause the skin, hair, or eyes to have little or no color. 

The purpose of this article is to admonish us to show respect and love to people living with albinism. I realize there are some people living with albinism on nairaland. One of them created a thread about himself, posted some of his pictures but what was the end result..... He was abused and disgraced! This is uncalled for. I wonder what will be going through his mind on that particular day when his fellow Nigerians even rejected him. 

No one is exempted, anybody can be affected by this disorder. (haven't you seen black couples give birth to an albino?) 

They are unique creatures :the white skin, the golden hair, the blue eyes... You can't but notice them. They aren't ghost or angels but they are one us. They have goals, dreams ambitions,just like any other person they have feelings and emotions. 

I'm waiting for when Nigeria will have an albino as a president,when they will head educational sector , political sector and some dignified post. Hardly will you see an albino as the head of a firm because they are judged with the difference in the color of their skin. 

Let's show some love and respect for them.
