"Though the sight may not be there, our vision is still very much intact," In Nigeria, unemployment rates among people with disabilities are almost double that of the general population. But at at Bethesda Home Church in Lagos, blind musicians give people hope. Fed up with seeing visually impaired people socially excluded in churches, Chioma Ohakwe set up Bethesda Home Church three years ago to nurture and celebrate the musicians' talents, as well as providing a place of worship for a congregation many of whom also have sight issues. "When (people) start seeing the ability in them, they will believe in them," said Ohakwe, who runs an NGO for visually impaired people.
