Ability in Disability: Meet Nigerian Guitarist Who No Fingers Or Palms

Simeon Djagbo a graduate of Delta State University was born without fingers or palms but he has not let that stop him in life. Simeon explains how he was first rejected from school because of his condition. 

"The school authorities felt I could not write and might scare other students away from enrolling with the way I look," he said. 

About How He Became A Guitarist

“My church brought a man to teach the guitar to others. I was in the drum section just watching as he was teaching a lady to play a progression on a particular song. I watched the way the lady’s fingers were moving on the strings and I was capturing it in my head. When she dropped it, I picked the guitar up and played it exactly the way she was taught and everybody was shocked, because I was not taught how to play it. Although, I was always sneaking to play the guitar because some concerned people felt I would injure myself. I kept at it and became better. I feel God divinely directed me to the guitar.”

The 42-year-old rapper, who most recently sung about dragging Austrialian singer Iggy Azalea by his Humvee and raping her (read here), reflects on his long-standing career and expresses a keen sense of remorse in the hit which dropped on Monday.  An apology that comes in rhyme- form.

He sang:

'It just breaks my heart to look at all the pain I caused. The pain spawns all the anger on, but it wasn't until I put the pain in song, learned who to aim it on, that I made a spark, 

'Started to spit hard as s***, learned how to harness it while the reins were off...  But the crazy part was soon as I stopped saying I gave a f*** haters started to appreciate my art.'
