Michael Showunmi: Physically Challenged Graduate Plays Football In Crutches

Meet Showunmi Michael Thompson, a physically challenged Nigerian graduate and Maths teacher who uses crutches.


During this Easter season, a physical challenged Nigerian Maths teacher plays with friends while using his crutches.

He was pushed down, but he stood up and continued and later dribbled them.

This has inspired some Nigerians online.

Sharing his experience, Michael wrote:

"When you fall, Rise up Again 🏃
We can not call on the name JESUS and end up in shame 👌
Happy Holidays and Happy Easter to Y'all ❤❤❤
Its holiday, so I got the chance to play ⚽.. My crutches-leg-over skill is the best 😁😇😂
