From Gunshot To Glory: Uber Driver Who Lost His Sight At 27 Shares How He Beat Depression In Weeks Video

A Nigerian Uber driver, who lost his sight after being attacked by armed robbers in 2020, has opened up about how he overcame depression and found strength in his new reality.

The young man recounted that he was shot in the face while driving, an attack that left him blind at just 27 years old. The traumatic incident initially pushed him into depression, but he refused to stay down.

He explained that one of the most important steps in his recovery was embracing his new identity and confronting life as a blind person, rather than seeing it as the end of his story.

In his own words:

“I became blind at the age of 27 and overcame depression in less than a month. One of the ways I fought depression was by accepting my new identity and facing the challenge of being blind. Whatever you’re going through right now, accept it and let it bring out the best in you.”
