Blind Musician Cobhams Asuquo Reveals He Puts in Five Times the Effort Compared to Peers
Nigerian singer and producer Cobhams Asuquo has shared insights into his journey as a visually impaired artist. The creator of the hit “One Hit” revealed that his blindness motivates him to work five times harder than his colleagues.
In a recent interview with Hip TV, Cobhams encouraged people living with disabilities to accept their realities and find strength in them. He explained, “Being aware of my blindness pushes me to outwork others because society often assumes that blind people are incapable. I strive to prove that I am capable of many things.”
He added, “It’s perfectly fine to be blind. The world has become more sensitive, which is good, but it’s also important to face your situation honestly instead of hiding behind euphemisms. Call it what it is and use your disability as a source of strength.”
Cobhams clarified that he is completely blind, not partially impaired, and embraces this fully. “I can’t see a thing, and that’s okay. I even find some dark humor in it. This is who I am, and I’m proud of the life I’ve lived and the achievements I’ve made despite my blindness.”
His candid reflections serve as an inspiring reminder of resilience and self-acceptance.
